Best Junk Shop Finds
My mum works in the Sue Ryder Cancer shop in Winchcombe, Gloucs and they have someone who looks at all the records that come in first. I used to get first dibs on UK pop/R&R stuff but not anymore. I gave her a list of labels, Stateside, Tamla Motown, London, Oriole, Columbia, etc etc plus "anything with a big hole in the middle" and she used to call me if anything came in!!

Us Soul - Is It Over?
See if you can find Jully Black's version of Etta's Seven Day Fool, I nearly spilt me Special K when the video came on local cable news channel. She is a young lass from Toronto. I was dispatched by the wife to buy the CD but - Oh Dear!!!

Curtis Mayfield-move On Up
Dave I havent seen a coloured Curtom from this period, they all seem to be white label and none of them mention promo etc. Mind you I havent actually come across a copy of this in 8 years yet, but have had copious amounts of other Impressions stuff on the white label.

Least Memorable/most Disappointing Live Soul Act
Bettye Lavette - last year as support for Buddy Guy, not very good at all, and we left as Buddy got stuck into about a 30 minute Jam as he wandered around the venue, unfortunatley this was only his second song. Etta James - last year, I understand she has been ill and all that but for the money I was a bit disappointed. Chairmen Of The Board - Glos Leisure Centre - sometime late 70's - God they were abysmall. Surely they have enough material not to have to do an extended Love Train? George Benson - Wembley Arena? - 79/80? - so far at the back I could just see his guitar glinting in the light!! But the worst ever was Tina Turner, again in Gloucester, wife had a niece staying with us as she was going to English school and wanted to go and see her, so off we go. Only time I have ever asked for my money back at a concert.

Most Memorable Live Soul Group
Believe it or not, one of the best shows I have ever seen was The Stylistics, supported by Candi Satton at Glos Leisure Centre many years ago. They were slick, professional and sounded bloody great. Also saw Bobby Bland about 3 years in the Silver Dollar Room in Toronto, he did 2 shows, 8:00 and 10:00 and to be honest when he shuffled on stage in a Purple Velour Shell Suit I wondered what was going to happen but he was f*#king brilliant. He did a superb version of Bill Withers - Lovely Day as a encore and it was truly superb.

Sam Dees - Rare Film - The Ultimate Gift To A Soul Fan
Hey Drew As I said, I am sure I saw this on a TV show around the time he first visited, I think it was something like the thing Jools Hoollland used to do. Contact Voices, they may have a copy. I had it on a VHS but that is long gone now I am afraid

Sam Dees - Rare Film - The Ultimate Gift To A Soul Fan

Demise Of The Traditional Record Shop
I am pretty lucky here as I live about 3/4 hour from Toronto and can visit 5 shops that have regular new stuff and decks to listen, then there is Henry's which is at least a 5 hour visit if you want to go through everything. Then there is also all the Rock/Pop shops that turn up stuff every now and again. This doesnt include Kops which it has to be saidi is pretty grim now for Northern. Everything that is even worth a tenner now seems to go to UK where as in the past I could still pick up nice things. There is also Stardust in Hamilton which has turned up stuff now and again and has a deck for listening.
