I would love to see the response or lack of on the dancefloor if you ever get a chance to play the track ! Perhaps a promoter should give you a spot and bring the saga to a close ? Nick.

For me personally The Joubert Singers 'Stand on the Word' takes a lot of beating. I was djing several weeks ago and a girl requested the song. Needless to say after carrying the tune for at least a year I had milked my box and could not play her request. There were approx. 20 girls in the club from The Glasgow Gospel Choir on a hen night and they are singing the song at The Wickerman Festival next weekend. Talk about an opportunity missed., a gospel choir singing along while you dj to your favourits gospel track ! Nick.

Hi Phil pm'd you. Cheers Nick.

Hi Alan I think that the rogue clapper may have been my mate Bruce. On many occasions whether clapping to northern soul or at the Sub Club to house, he went off on weird time signatures with his claps. Probably in his befuddled brain it sounded like music, to us it was just an embarrasment. Nick.

The ' Havana Candy' album track 'We're in Love' was always a personal favourite . Nick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgAvhFTs-Y.

A J Brown - Making Love Together. Possibly the finest example of a modern soul/ reggae crossover.

Pm'd you. Nick

PM'd you. nick.

Over 28 years of djing I have had the privelege to play many genres of black music to various crowds, sometimes specialist,jazz,latin,disco, but generally mixed. My 'problem' is that I love music, whether its Candido playing 100mph version of ' Old Man River' or Soul Communicators, both of which feature in my regular sets. I am constantly surprised by the responses of 'the punters' some of whom are knowledgeable, but most just come to the club because they love the music. If anyone shows a particular interest in for example, northern, I always try to cater for them and also let them know of alternative more specialist nights such as Friday Street in Glasgow. I remember going to Shotts in the mid 80's to my first allnighter and in my innocence trying to buy an acetate that Keb Darge was playing because the record totally blew me away, I had literally never heard anything like it in my life! Over the years, usually by knowledgable northern dj's swapping tapes with me for jazz , I have slowly picked up some of those records and include them in my sets nowadays. I think the point that I am trying to make is the old saying 'two types of music,good and bad'. Being a relative newcomer to Soul Source I am constantly surprised by the other musical interests of many of the members, however what little part I can play in introducing my regulars to rare soul, funk,jazz,disco etc I repeat, is a privelege.

Hi I was a Glenrothes and Shotts man myself. Was the Shotts DVD copied from a video tape that the Walls Bros used to have. I remember seeing a video years ago which had some crowd shots but was mainly from the left hand side of the stage,filming the decks. Nick.

If I could add my tuppenceworth, what a site. Well done big chap and keep up the good work. ( aaaah Shotts Stomp ya bastards and wrist slashers).

Hi Do you still have The Ringleaders ? I'm not sure of the process as I've not bought via Soul Source before. Paypal is ok with me. Nick.

Much the same response as everyone else. I was in South Beach a couple of years ago and found one store which was in North Miami,I think it was called The Bluenote or Soulnote. Picked up some nice jazz bits and a good few disco 12"s and 70's soul albums. I went all over the Cuban area looking for latin vinyl but everyone just looked at me as if I was stupid - 'Did I not realise that cds had been invented years ago?' I was told to try pawn shops for old vinyl so made a list of about a dozen pawn shops which were on one of the major avenues. The incredulous looks on the faces of the shop owners faces when this white guy with a Glasgow accent appeared asking if they had any records. Four hours I walked this street and finally , in a store run by a guy with serious gang tatoos and a sign to check your guns at the door, I was directed to a dusty box of records hidden away on a shelf. At last! They turned out to be laserdiscs. Enjoy your holiday.
