Sounds like a pedestrian southern soul record to these ears....soulpack record that you hoped someone would buy blind.

I mentioned it earlier....all of those deep funk clubs vanished and I'm just wondering if this style of music has been sucked in by the rare soul scene.It ran in parallel to the jazz scene but i was more into Cal Tjader than Johnny Pate ....Not been to Jo jos in a long time and im wondering if they still focus on it now Kebs into rocknroll I know Joel plays this style of music at the 100 Club.

You funk lovers would have loved London in the late eighties/nineties as all of this type of stuff was spun at loads of little clubs in London.Keb Darge/Ian Wright/Snowboy/Bones(Big Daddy mag)/James Trouble/Japanese Jimmy..I even had a deep funk room at The Rocket in 2002.I enjoyed going to those clubs myself although i always preferered the out and out latin jazz/fusion clubs.Re pidgeon holing....love it.I have a very wide taste in music and like to know if i go to a northern soulnight i get northern soul.Heres some od funk flyers.

I know a bit more than nothing.The record has a funky feel to it ...the guitar...the production....the vocal.Its a different type of funk to the jb style.

Movin On (Audio Arts)has a funky wah wah guitar...am I the only one that can hear it??

What ever happened to the Deep Funk Scene Daddy Bones,Jap Jimmy,Trouble,Darge etc etc...that was a seperate scene where you knew if you were goin to one of those clubs this is the stuff that you would get.Has that imploded and been sucked in by the rare soul scene....my style of funky northern would be Ron Keneoly-Movin On,Destination Unknown,Lloyd Price-Bad Conditions,The Barons-Society...

Ive played that Oh Mary out....ive also heard it played at Camber scooter rally a few years ago.Who did In A Dream first...Jackie and Millie or the Vips?

Yes.... Northern underplayed and oldies spot OVO available at Southend 10 Dec for a spot at your do....any takers ...

Did anyone dance in air wair or Major Domos?

Ive a rarer version by Wayne Fontana 200 quid anyone?

Me too red and gold metalflake AF Gp.....youll spot me among the targets and flags

That Gene Woodbury was I'm quantity in Domars soulpacks along with Ain't Nobodys business...the dark blue label variation

Wonder if they have a crazy French morrocan in a white suit saying baybee and I hate ze funk punting out mirwood instrumentals...there's a million crazy characters that could be In this film.

At home listening to Walter Jacksons No Easy Way down....great soul record but not northern and not a dance record ...when I go out I want to dance to northern and not .....rare soul....soul.Thank god Kev Roberts rescued us in the nineties.

Anybody ever seen one of these before.....Island Wl 102 Killer Joe by Millie Small backed with The Spencer Davis Group Trampoline credited to Millie Small.....

So would the 4 unreleased sixties tracks I'm going to play be cutting edge or are they only cutting edge if played by a cutting edge deejay along with other cutting edge tracks....re Rods playlist not my cuppa t for dancing to...prefer later sixties productions and a bit faster.

The new untouchables segment has been cancelled as well.

Shame....no clapping in unison for you then

Oh and before Russ plays and after we play this sort of stuff after everyone has had their casino classics Barbara Cooper-whats one more tear star treks-gonna need magic eula cooper-standing by love Masters-I Need Your love Betty lloyd-im catching on billy bass-im coming to corletts-im getting tired bob brady-goodbye baby Jimmy armstrong-i wont believe it Kenny Carlton-Lost And Found Two People-Stop leave My Heart alone Vigon-The spoiler Rock Candy-Alone with no love Leon peterson-my bag webs-give in Rick Shepard-Can We Share it Mickey laney-im gonna walk All on ovo.....confused??

London and the south East has loads of clubs Solid Hit Soul-Uptempo sixties newies Va Va Voom-Crossover and seventies Crystal Palace Soul-Seventies x over and funk edged Boogalo Soul-Mod style and latin 100 Club-A mix of everything ElPaso-Underplayed sixties X Ray Soul-A mix of everything but no seventies Soul On The Square-Southern oldies Soulnites Alldayers (Boston Arms)-Northern Soul oldies Filthy Mcnastys alldayers-Dont know but i think its xover. At my club (Southend) we get about 200 in and do it 3 times a year....and at the last one gave a cd away of underplayed sounds so hopefully next time people will have a bit of familiarity with the unknown.All of the above to my knowledge are mosty ovo.My club is ovo unless we have Russ on....no cd's but a mix of originals and reissues...but he draws a crowd.

Just paid 180 UK pounds for a mint falcons....

Is this the same guy who did Cest Lamour on UK Island and a few things for Columbia?

No the signature is not for my club....the other deejays play rare and underplayed r and b etc and I will be playing a straight uptempo northern sixties set including these tracks and they have asked me to keep it underplayed so I will oblige...the tracks are from Canadian late sixties radio sessions.

The reel to reels were on 3 quarter tape so I had them mastered and had carvers made up as I ain't carting and cueing up reel to reel machines....the Zola Taylor acetate I bought but its not really up to scratch I feel for playing out.Re the list of records earlier....they are all quality ...and that us the crux of it quality control...not just playing something for rarities sake.Btw Bob Relf I would class as a typical northern sound.

I have had acetates in the past which I think don't cut it ....I stuck one on my YouTube channel Honey child by Zola Taylor ....I don't think it is good enough to play out.Listen yourself ....and I had 6 tracks cut from these reel to reels but two are not up to par but the other 4 are...great productions....uptempo....quality northern soul.
