I think the Acid Jazz label are behind this collabration. Which is weird as the guy who runs it IS a soul fan.

I didn't know he did The Face and am somewhat surprised. Yes he must have had some clout then. These days he rattles on like a little old lady. I still have the Northern Soul article from The Face......1982 ish? Derek, yes good for 100 Club. Looking fwd to it. Am booking Monday off work

Robert Elms went on a public speaking training session. The crux of which was "tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, tell 'em it & then tell 'em what you've already told 'em" Repeat ad nauseam.

Thanks for the warning!

Alright there Derek! Well, here it is. What you think? I wouldn't be surprised. I'm not a fan. SF227604_01_01_01.mp3

When you booked Colin Bee, you might get Les or you might get his mate, who was I think Colin Berkinshaw? Les supplied the records & the Colin Bee Roadshow. Colin Berkinshaw? just fronted it sometimes. Colin once told me that he didn't really like northern!

Robert Elms is a DJ on Radio London who really gets on my pip. He is very fond of his own voice, but comes across as one of the lads. Bit of a geezer. Also puts him self about as a bit of a an expert on sub cultures of days gone by. To re-inforce his credibility he plays a bit of soul/funk. Today he played Lord Large featuring Dean Parrish - 'Left Right & Centre' A record he descibed as 'mighty.' Sorry having trbl posting link from Radio London site. But its the worst crock of shite you ever heard. Worse than anything in Ken's collection. Col.

"To be is to do"--Socrates. "To do is to be"--Jean-Paul Sartre. "Do be do be do"--Frank Sinatra Any help? Col.

The Stoke dancing competition was a joke. The organisers decided to do it on the stage where there wasn't enough room. i don't beleive it was open to everybody to enter. I was told at the time the management selected the few entrants they wanted to dance.

What really happens when Travis Perkins screw up.

Yeah, yeah yeah! But Roger always seems to have a few anniv singles in his box reasonably priced........

So the darts were confiscated. What happened to the dart board?

The MAGICIANS -"Just A Little Faith And Understanding"- Think Roger Stewart was selling for £30 at that time

Marvin Gaye is no doubt near the top of most soul lovers 'best vocalist' So not much chance for a debate there! But what is best ever recording? I'll start the ball rolling with my nomination "Where Are We Going?" Which is his best & most under rated. I expect of course you all to fall in line & agree with me........ Col

I paid £20 for 'Run For Shelter' 20 years ago. According to Record Collector its still only £20 now Does that count?

"Any favs for you in that lot?" Well I'd go for the bottle of red, a big bag of M&S Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper Crisps Lincoln is a brilliant place, trouble is you have to go through bits of Lincolnshire to get there. Have to get back to you regarding the music........

Well there was an awful rumour............started by Soul Girl.............that Andy BB.............wore the same shirt twice. I kid you not!

Best one I had was Earl Van Dyke on UK Motown. Swapped it 20 years ago with JM. Never seen another. Brilliant cover. Awful album. Scan anyone? Col.

Possibly. But couldn't resist it. Picked up the CD 'The Collection' by Sounds Of Blackness in HMV for £4 on saturday. Thought it would be good to share it with everyone.
