In the early to mid 80's when I wasn't going to many venues bar Stafford ..these Kent LP's were my lifeline ...here's what I consider to be a few key tracks of a bundle just pulled from the shelves : STAND IN FOR LOVE : It's starting to get to me now - Irma Thomas PURE SOUL : Doomed by jealousy - Jackie Montre - el KISSING HER AND CRYING FOR YOU : Don't - Marva Josie MECCA MAGIC : Thats the way of a woman in love - The Futures SLOW AND MOODY , BLACK AND BLUESY : I can't stand it - Jimmy Holiday TEARS IN MY EYES : I ain't myself anymore - Bobby Bland THE TYRONE DAVIS STORY : You keep me holding on SOUL SERENADE ; Gotta find a way - Maxine Brown SOUL CLASS OF ' 66 : Little girl lost - The Shepards [ album bought from Ian Clark at Stafford ] CLUB SOUL : Two stupid feet - Chuck Jackson SWEET SOULFUL CHICAGO : You got me walking - Cicero Blake Great idea for a thread , had forgotten what a huge influence these albums were .........Best ,Eddie

Colette Kelly SOLD

A good point Pete , I guess we need to give Richard the credit for bringing the record to the attention to the scene , though as always there are the unheralded guys like Jimmy who find these records way before the rush ......Cheers ,Eddie

A highly informative and well written piece as per usual , very well done Rob .......Best wishes ,Eddie

Richard Searling discovered Chapter 5 in a shop Manchester where he had gone to buy the left overs from a huge haul of records on UK Demo labels ,bought up by Dave Withers , Dave McCadden and Rod Shard [ modernsoulsucks ] . Just as he started playing it at Wigan , a good mate of ours Jimmy Sheard took a copy to Wigan to sell as an unknown and was amazed to hear it on Searling's playlist . Best wishes ,Eddie

I love most of her sides , one overlooked waxing is " Can't forget the one I love " on US Columbia ....recorded in Detroit at Motown apparently ........Cheers ,Eddie

It's only on a Motown karaoke CD Mike , so if you want a copy you'll have to have a carver cut from the CD .Hope this helps ,cheers ,Eddie

Fantastic CD Mike , so many great tracks ,but in particular Sonny Munro on Epic - wow !! Hope to get mine posted out soon ,cheers ,Eddie

Very prolific writer etc on the Detroit scene , he penned Dee Edwards " Why can't there be love " for instance .He was also a talented painter , one of his most famous pieces is the front cover of The Temptations " Psychedelic Shack " album .He will be sadly missed, RIP Hermon .....Eddie

This was a great podcast Pete , many thanks mate ,Eddie
