If you like smoother Jazz - Set It Free; Phantazia and Liquid ok For something funkier - Funk In A Mason Jar

If Lou Rawls is a guilty pleasure I'm up for a life sentence!!!

Off the top off my head I'm not sure. I'll dig it out and check.

Hi Mal, Yes I have the LP "Funk In A Mason Jar" like lots of the Jazz/Funk albums of the time a bit patchy

Trying to work out why I haven't played Harvey Mason for over 35 yrs!!!

Roller disco was big back in the day!!!!

Hi Chris - excellent show as per usual. Jimmy Ruffin track made me think need to pull out old singles hiding in cupboard and play the B sides. Feeling brave and started work on a top 7 that helped me through lockdown. How can I send these once complete? Regards, Neil

Given how close he was to Bisley, I'm sure I passed a few pounds to him at the All-Nighters there,. As Winsford said the easy way to pick up sounds which were massive at a young age.

Couldn't agree more saw him twice both times great shows.

R.I.P Dave, A fellow suffering Hammer whose posts always added colour to whatever topic he engaged with, he will be missed.

It would be interesting to see a similar article from mainstream music media buffs in the UK to see what the differences would be. Its always going to be very different from this audience, though I was amazed to read that John Hart wouldn't have any of them in his top 100. I always say 'To Each His Own' but I'm struggling to think any of Baby I'm For Real, Tracks Of My Tears, Every Little Bit Hurts, I Heard It Through The Grapevine or Whats Going On, wouldn't be included.

Hi Steve, Are you trying to mess with my mind, I only count 8!!!! Neil

I haven't been anywhere for ages, but I suppose 2 or more rooms was never a bad idea. Personally I would always head to the rooms where the DJs I liked the most, whether Northern, Modern, Jazz/Funk or deep were playing. If one room for me there needs to be plenty of variety.

As ever a cracking show, finishing with one of Teddy P's masterpieces.

I always think if someone's generally got good taste in soul across the board it rarely goes very wrong, keep bringing them on.

Got to comment mid listen. If "Don't Have To Be A Star" is pure cheese I now know why I love cheese. Never apologise for great singalong soul classics.

I haven't bought or sold anything for eons. But reading on here over the years Id say it depends if you want a quick sale look at prices from the main uk sites and take 40% off, if looking to buy aim for that but be prepared to wait.

Just finishing Tomas's set, as has been said already, top notch right up my street.

One of the few Christmas songs I have ever purchased.

Pleased to read that, as I was thinking I must have missed something.

Hi, I understand the OVO argument for playing out and don't want to get into that. But are you saying that we should never buy CDs for our own personal delight?? It is had to believe everyone buying vinyl, is doing so because they are budding DJs. I respect their decision to buy vinyl but as Soulstrutter says surely a much cheaper CD is the better option over a carver, as at least the royalties may end up in the correct pockets?

Many thanks for posting. Just makes me wonder if there are other sets out there which need uploading.

Never considered this before, but I wonder how many international buyers, who may be relatively new to the music, don't have English as their first language and just lack info on what is a sensible price. I probably paid over the odds, no idea by how much, as no idea what I paid then, in my early days buying at Wigan. The simple fact is there are more people who are able to pay over the odds now, in all price ranges.

As someone who reads a lot and hasn't bought any vinyl for at least 10 years, i'd rather pick up some cheap singles. The price is ridiculous and has been said by everyone, if you weren't there or at least have a real love of the music what can you add.
