Great new CD out this week from Jazzman records www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk " Sister Funk 2 " with 20 great tracks . Amongst the harder edged funk sides there are a few tracks that will appeal to Northern / Modern collectors : Rhetta Hughes " You're doing it with her " , a superb Mike Terry produced outing , Honey and The Bees " Love Addict " a wonderful Arctic label release , Big Ella " The Queen " which would go down well with the R& B crowd , Dolly Gilmore " Sweet Sweet Baby " , Barbara Mason's brilliant " You better stop it " another Arctic waxing , and the currently indemand ex Stafford side Florence Trapp " Love came into my life " .Great sleeve notes and label scans from compiler Ian Wright , one of the best compilations so far this year IMO .Best ,Eddie

Superb side Girth , it came out on a 7" as well as a CD single , this got a few plays at Thorne when it was released .Best ,Eddie

Thanks for some interesting replies folks , my copy is on the Atlantic distributed DPG logo .Would love to hear his other sides if anyone has mp3's of them . Best ,Eddie

Pulled out a ' 45 yesterday that I hadn't played for ages ,Sir Guy and The Rocking Cavaliers " My Sweet Baby " /" Funky Virginia " DPG 801 .The top side is in that Stafford crossover kinda style , whilst the flip side is in a great Deep Funk meets Northern vein , and far better than the title suggests .Any one got an opinion on this disc , and whats it worth ? Many thanks ,Eddie

That youtube video looks great Dave , can't wait to see the finished article .Best ,Eddie

The demo only has " how can something be so wrong " , will post a scan of the issue and mp3 if I get time over w/ end ,Best Wishes ,Eddie

I always thought the first UK Soul 12" was Undisputed Truth " You + me = love "[Whitfield ] Anyone confirm ? Best ,Eddie

Got Barbara Jean English " Comin ' or goin ' and Rose Royce " Best love " UK Epic after reading about it on here , Barbara is a beautiful flowing 70's side .Best ,Eddie

Yes Fort Laudedale , roughly translated as Uncle Simon I suspect !! He did play some great stuff in the early days tho ' Pain in my heart - Poppies and Stronger than her love -Flirtations were two records I heard via Russ .Best ,Eddie

Here's 4 of mine from postcards : Otis Clay ,Kim Weston ,Tony Clarke , Maxine Brown ,Best ,Eddie

That B side came out on UK President , great deep .....Thanks for scanning that page Rich ,Best ,Eddie

Hello Mel , I've got Jean Battle on USA , don't know Oscar Weathers , will have to check that out !! Best ,Eddie

Thanks Ged , thats the secret isn't it , getting ' em before the rush !! Best ,Eddie

Yes I'd like to see a Mojo album listing too .I've found it difficult to find many Mojo albums , the " Workin " compilation was my introduction to Soul music , great set with Northern and Funk side by side , took me ages to find a clean copy .Best ,Eddie

One of my favourite double siders on Mojo is Art Gentry - Wonderful Dream / Breakthrough , the top side is a great version of a superb George [ Bart ] Jackson song on Decca , whilst Breakthrough is a wonderful crossover styled outing .Best ,Eddie

Too true Russ , it worked at The Colony Club ,Newbury , didn't it mate ? Best Wishes ,Eddie

Many thanks Bjorn78 and everyone else who helped with my request , any idea what year this was released ? Is it an 80's record? Thanks a million ,Eddie

Has anyone got an mp3 of Mixed Feelings " Sha la la " please ? Best Wishes ,Eddie

Hello Pete ,I thought it might have been recorded off the stage as I did one on a ghetto blaster around 1980 and it came out brilliantly .Sadly ,I lend it to a mate to copy , he put it in the wrong deck and wiped it - gutted !! Best ,Eddie

Thanks for posting this up Pete , great quality as well , what part of the hall did you record it , as Searling comes across really clear ? What I'd give for just one more night at the Casino ..........Best Wishes ,Eddie

Good point Mel , the whole point of the scene used to be based on the fact that you had to travel to certain venues , in order to hear records that you couldn't possibly hear elsewhere , Blackpool Mecca for example . Best ,Eddie
