Soulsmith

Carlitos Way, really good film. I Love Music fekkin awful record. Maybe an OK Jazz Funk record, but that counts for nothing if you love soul music. Or maybe people blowing whistles in night clubs added something to it that I missed.

I'm not too sure what you mean by that, you seem to be contradicting yourself a bit.

I do. One of the few occasions they got it right.

Love to hear that. Wonder who bought it? Any idea what format it came out in vinyl/acetate?

Don't be sorry. Personally I think the bloke arranging the backing track should be sorry. Another wasted opportunity.

Sorry Steve, You've lost me there.

Just played it for the first time. Sound OK. Probably sounds much better, played out.

Intersting one Listen to it at https://www.crazybeat.co.uk/ 100 % better than last release - Lord Large Tosh. But you have to question the Acid Jazz's wisdom in trying to re-create the magic of "It'll Never Be Over For Me" What next a cover of " Whats Going On"

Not really. Although if you'd seen me DJing in Aldershot earlier tonight you'd have thought otherwise.

Whats lurking at the back of your your play box, but if you're honest you'll never get around to playing it out. Here's a couple of mine for starters Major Lance - Rhythm - Okeh Picture Cover, stunning looking record but never been tempted to play it out. Spooky & Sue - I've Got The Need Picture Cover, same again lovely record, but can't ever see me playing it. Four Tops - Walk With Me Talk With Me Darling - UK Motown Demo, truly awful record but I just like it there. Something about green & white demos, just easy on the eye. Col.

Maybe they should have chosen something a little more apt, how about Jay & The Techniques - Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie or The 5 Royales - Catch That Tea maybe even Gerri Granger - I Go To Pies

Great choice of films, 2 of my favourite 3 Poor use of geography, you are in fact, up there

Recently picked up the prequel to Carlitos Way. Although the film got panned by the critics, I thought it was enjoyable. It was helped by an excellent soundtrack.....soulful, funky, staxy sort of thing. Looked for it on web but can't find track listing! Anything else out there you'd recommend ie good film and soulful soundtrack? Col.

Should be posting it up on Wednesday. Most people will find it quite amusing, tho no doubt 1 or 2 people will have a sense of humour failure.

Just played James Fountain - Seven Day Lover Was there ever a better record that crossed the gap between funk & northern?

Seriously though, when it comes to cheap tacky rubbish.........I'm you're man. Currently working on a designn for the worlds first modern soul patch. Will post details later in week. I'm not kidding.

I have it on good authority that Tim does not sell his underpants.

Very funny. I liked that post.

Just in case anybody comes up with Flower Shoppe - You've Come A Long Way Baby........Poison Ivy.

Maybe you can help me.... Where did you get that flat cap that you were wearing at Camberley? Did it come with a free whippet?

Orf the top of me 'ed, I'd say.....Undisputed Truth You+Me=Love.

Seven Souls - I Still Love You......Still sounds as fresh as a daisy, (but its really an orchid) Eddie Garrigan - I Wish I Was.....Pleasant enough, but no longer in full bloom Gene Chandler - I Can Take Care Of Myself......A perrennial shrub Beverly Ann - You've Got Your Mind On Other Things.......Well past Tescos sell by date Cody Michaels - Seven Days Fifty Two Weeks.......Fertilizer

Neither am I, but recently I've noticed that it isn't as good as it used to be.

The dancer has no rhythm whatsoever. Awful.

Haven't done any all nighters in the last 6 months due to health reasons. So what have I missed in terms of tunes? Whats getting played much more now than wasn't a year ago? Any sound files would be appreciated... My interest in this was sparked when a mate was flicking through my record box and pointed out that Syng McGowan - Loneliness Is A Pleasure has increased in value quite a bit recently and is now (after 25 years) a big tune. I was shocked, is he right? Another mate was flicking through the box and also picked out that one, noting that Chalky was playing the flip side - Just In The Nick Of Time at Lifeline. Its on the slow side but absolute quality. Whilst not wishing to massage Chalkys ego too much maybe the record has increased in price due to the flip side being played. Thanks in advance Col ps I'm going to give Syng McGowan a spin tonight in Aldershot, so expect the price to plummet soon.
