Good show this week folks, some rare Motown, some very nice Seventies Soul, some of the New Wave Soul of the last few years, and a few 'tough' Northern and funk records.

that's a shame Pep, it was such a lovely stamp, its almost criminal to find out it has no real historical importance 😞 that said, that list of first plays is great info for folks of my age, they are all oldies but that history is now getting scewed a bit isnt it, It's great to hear from somebody who knows first hand 🙂 I'm from the midlands but born in 69, so the Old Vic is the club I went to in Wolverhampton... so outside of yourself and Blue Max, who would have been Cats DJs that were spinning at the old vic? Great thread...

That is dreadful news, he was a really nice guy 🙂 RIP Jason

really really enjoyed this one Steve, got a wants list again :-)O

This weeks show is a belter, some great soul, an oldies section, and one very nice 'Yacht Rocker' for you as well as some great WVON Radio ads. WVON was the major Black music Radio station in Chicago in the sixties, their reach into the back community there was as much as the church, and their line of Radio Jocks were some of the best in the business. Soul from the Heart, and then Some! Hope you enjoy it 🙂 Mal Here is the link to the "Death of the Cats" article I mentioned by Journalist Bethan Ackerley, all about the famous Northern Soul Club in Wolverhampton: https://bethanackerley.com/2019/01/14/the-death-of-the-cats-northern-soul-wolverhampton-catacombs/ ** Track Listing ** WVON: PAMS Soul Jingle The Poppies - Do it with Soul Fabulous Soul Masters - I Can't See Nobody Dicky & Billy - I Got A Feeling Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames - In The Meantime Hollis Floyd - Black Poncho Is Coming Jamo Thomas - Jamo's Soul James McKenzie & The Mckenzie Brothers - I Hope She Don't Hurt You The Divine Men - Stop And Take Another Look Leo Valentine Trio - Behind the Outhouse The Soul Finders - Dead End Street The Specials - I Can't Find Another Part 1 Johnny Caswell - You Don't Love Me Any More Judy Freeman & Blackrock - Hold On Rex Garvin & The Mighty Cravers - Sock It To 'Em J.

no never had the dosh for that one Dave, too expensive.. I bought the boot, be honest it's great but it's not really my bag, prefer George Blackwell on Smoke...

nope, its the only fun we get most weeks, would you deny us all this one small pleasure? the money is ready £8600, I need sectioning... !!

oh wow, that is a great article... stuff like this is priceless... "the club served orange squash by the pint and boasted a fire escape made of wood". Pete Smith would know, or Mick Smith, but they never come on here any more, maybe somebody can reach out to them on FB...? Mal

Here's the full family... these guys I met take these skeletons everywhere, they go shopping, go dancing, in the car, fishing... even got their own face book group, Anyhow when I met them they had just booked 7 days at Mathern (Chepstow) as they had booked to stay on a lake in the mountain where there was evidentially no fish!! but they didn't find that out till they got there... crazy buggars. see, madness, all done with an elastic band!! I love it....

Had 3 at 19lb Last week, 16lb and a load of small ones.. bit of an ugly common, he's a greedy one for sure, also nice pic plus a fisherman I met who had been there a long while for a bite...

GET IN!!! totally missed these 🙂 ever so sorry mate... so these are with a pole right? or is that your whipping rod? so folks understand, these match fishermen are mental, a 10lb carp can actually do fair bit of fighting, sometimes when they see the net they go crazy, so the match guys are using effectively a rubber band, that's it... no reel with mono line, no clutch nada, other than them pulling on a band which is connected to a carp that does not want to be caught,... hats off!! and 41 carp!! most I get in my runs water is generally 12 or so.. our local water in Chepstow, they have all put on weight this year, so fish I caught at 18lb are up to 22lb, quite a difference. I was told, but haven't seen the evidence, that 'Stumpy' who is the carp in this lake has been caught after last showing two years ago, he's a mirror carp at 28lb now, and evil with it, has a scar down his left side, to be honest I thought he had been stolen as you can get on a good ticket with a named carp to add to a lake, if you get my meaning... pure theft but guys do it all the time. Mal

I remember seeing an acetate of this cut recently for sale, I've no idea whether yours is that copy? but the existence of more than one maybe suspicious, in that they are normally single items that turn up ad hoc... Don't remember anything about the acetate other than I do need another copy of that 45, mines fooked... got releases on Lauren records didn't it...

Great show this week, loads of fabulous sixties and seventies soul sides for you. Standouts, well they all 'Stand Out' but you should listen to 'The Classic Example - Right On'. Just released, and was the 100 Club Anniversary single for last week's 100 Anniversary all-nighter in London; goes without saying it's an unreleased track which shares the same lyrics as 'Vessie Simmons - I Can Make It On My Own' on Simco Records, different backing though... took me a week of to discover that! I knew I knew it...lol Enjoy the music... Love is Wonderful !

always thought it was up there, it's a better record than King Tut, maybe this way the price will stay low so folks new it can get a copy easily... at least dealers cant say "Discussed on Soul Source" and whack the price up.... a novel thought... laughing

Thanks Ady, that was starting to drive me loopy, I was pulling out all manner of 45's in search of the track that's based on... under my nose all the time 😕 nice one Wally

The Sherilles - She's Gonna Make it, is this a cover, or loosely based around another well known track? cant help but feel I've nearly heard this before? I know they got all manner of songs given to them, some of which had very famous 'other' versions, 'You Could Be My Remedy' is a good example of Trade Martin's classic that they did. Is it 'The Lovelites - My Conscience' something like that? I know these lyrics, just cant place them.. Mal

agree, its a great release, especially the classic example 🙂 god its fabulous, how did they release 'Kinda Groovy' over that?

Just looking at this 'Classic Example' track, says 72, and produced by Curtis Colbert, he has writing credits on 'Hey There Little Girl / Thats Groovy' their GSF release.. I do love that 45, can't wait to her this one...

Pmd you

Is this years a good one? Love classic example so hopefully that will be a good one, are Kent going to put this into Kent select do you think? Don't go the the 100 club anymore, so don’t need the first press… mal

Cheers Baz, I'll check that out, btw that's a crazy cover init, do you think the designer had just watched 'Wield Science' ? lols really like the Michael Omartian track Greg, it's got a good groove...

any takers? somewbody ,must have a minter...

Hi Folks, the below tracks are not rare in the least, butI 'm after absolute pristine copies of each if I can get them. Must be issues, I like the green labels... and vinyl if possible, I don't know whether there are East / West coast variants, probably are, Booker A is a west coast track isnt it. I'll do Styrene if the play and label are mint, must be faultless... 🙂 Booker Averhart & The Mustangs - Honey / Vault. Rex Garvin & The Mighty Cravers - Sock It To 'Em J. B. / Like Records - **SORTED** Pip us what your after via pm, cheers Malcolm

wow, great artist. I bought my copy 17th June 1996, and received it the morning I heard my mother had died. it's not a disc I'll forget any time in my life time, and I wont sell it, 'After All I've Been Through For You' is such a great song. I do think 'It's Over Between Us' is Lorraine Rudolph (Jet Star), although she has a more restrained vocal style on that side, the Jet Star recording is a little more free flowing if you know what I mean... Great artist RIP Lorraine...

Oh god, not 'Talc Overutilization' again ! the side effects are hell on a wooden dance floor..
