The Tommy Bass 45 is superb.....bit of a 'funk scene' oldie, but sounds just as great today. Great tune!

Lyrics could do with a pep-up in a perfect world, but it is a 'dance' record after all, not an angst ridden song about 'love' or his 'baby'. Not sure as to how you would think this (rather complex) arrangement is s**t*. Unless you prefer things simpler, which is cool....less is more, and all that.

Pretty simple lyrics, but powerful dancefloor material IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41SvuvWeAjE

Fabulous tune, Tim.

This one's been getting some superb dancefloor reaction.

Really sad, news....R.I.P. indeed.

PM'd you, mate....cheers!

Thanks alot for the comments, Dean.....glad that you're diggin' the comp. Really pleased with how it turned out, complete with Chris Menists thorough sleeve notes. I managed to squeeze in 4 gospel cuts on Saturday, two of which were first time spins......brilliant to see the dancefloor respond so positively!

Ha, that's great Steve! I've never actually owned a copy on Wand.....is it the same mix as the Mascot 45, just picked up for wider distribution?

I managed to catch that! Pretty awesome stuff!

Yeah, I wouldn't say that the BPS is one of the rarest.......but definitely one of the most desirable. I thought maybe we could have gone for the Keith Barrow cut which hadn't been on 45 before, but to get 'Trouble's brewin' for the first time on the format, backed with such a solid track by BPS, makes for a nice package.

Here's my plays from 7th July....... 11.30pm til 12.30am Sammy Jones 'Cinderella Jones' (Mascot) Oz and the Sperlings 'Dance (holes in your shoes)' (Villa) The Huns Review 'Don't make me love you' (Sorro) Re-Vells 'I want a new love' (Trent Town) Sonny Harris and the Soul Reflections 'The vibration' (San-El) Chuck Bridges 'Don't make me cry' (Scoop) King Earnest 'You gonna miss me' (Sonic) Wendel Western 'Nag on me' (Soul Sauce) Liberation Street Singers 'Love is in the air' (Pentagram) Master Keys 'I done got on the right road' (Co-Op) The Silver Kings 'Trouble the water' (Bounty) The Valdons 'All day long' (Twin City Movement) The Contacts 'You gonna pay' (Quadran) Lil' Henry and his Soul Express 'Baby' (Ride) Lanny Hunt 'Suzie Q' (Panorama) Rosa Lee Brooks 'Utee' (Revis) The Czars 'Get down' (Key-Loc) Frisco Singers 'My girl's a waitin' (Chess) Ruby Lee 'I'm gonna put a watch on you' (Poptone) Louis (Blues Boy) Jones 'Come on home' (Sabra) Margaret Moss & the Three Stars 'Don't let it be too late' (Three Stars) Althea Spencer 'Take me baby' (AV International) Brown's Chapel Young Adult Choir 'Roll Jordan' (HTB) Gloria Soul 'Satisfy my hunger' (Golden International) Nola and the Soul Rockers 'Reach down and get it' (Goldleaf) United Sounds 'It's all over (baby)' (United) 1.15am til 2am - casual five second slot double decking w/John Stapleton Willie Dale 'Let your light shine' (Lovie D) Marilyn Barbarin and the Soul Finders 'Reborn' (Bo-Sound) Nocqula & the Fabulous Spiders 'You know I'm gonna make it' (Soulin') Bobby Blues Ray 'Soul' (Ross) Bennie Cole & his Soul Bros. 'I gotta go back home' (Century)

Fantastic news that the 45 has been approved......again, looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I'd say it's not predominantly a funky soul night, but it's one of those great events that can move across various genres under the 'soul' umbrella, and still have an appreciative, full dancefloor from opening the doors til the lights are up. Thoroughly enjoyed last night, so I'll probably get my playlist together for people to critique.

At a guess, I'd say there were a coupla hundred people through the door @ Bristol last night, maybe more.....and those people without doubt voted with their feet. Just because they're not discussing it on a forum page, doesn't mean it isn't happening. I've not contributed to this thread cos it always feels like you're flogging a dead horse on here when it comes to this topic.....a lot of people on SS will stick to the boundaries of the 'northern soul' pigeon hole, whilst I like to explore the much broader spectrum of 'soul' music. It's part of the reason I joined Soul Source.....it's not 'Northern Soul Source'.

Reduced for a quick sale. Thanks!

I'm open to offers on these 3 rarities, so please drop me a PM if you're interested. Thanks alot!
