Love Gladys Knight's 'Show Me The Way' it's got 'funk' that track! Well done guys, 2 more essential Eps 🙂

1971, the year of the black glove. Would all that be around the Angela Davis / panthers movement right?

Thats worthy of a Photo Competition entry Chris, really nice shot...

Really enjoyed that, great first episode guys 🙂

What is all the commotion?

Now we're talking

Ive a few Lp's on Venezuelan labels, Motown, Vanguard, etc... Like Australian labels, they always print 'Venezuela' on the label. That said, I have quite a few of these that come with an American sleeve/jacket, Gene McDaniels (Australian Liberty) and Rainbow Brown spring to mind, both were issued with yank sleeves in English, where as inside labels in Spanish and Aussie.... like thats different than english 🙂

Troy, of all of your father's songs, what’s your favourite track? Is there one you remember specially from your youth? To give us all a sense of yourself and your family back then, if we say 'I'd Think it Over' was recorded / released in 1964, do you remember that track at all, or is it later that you really understood what your father did as a day job, so to speak? Regarding your father's legacy, well it's solid within Soul collecting circles, as you know. I think if you wanted to spread his legacy, a nice way might be to produce a short film, maybe that could be something produced with the view of getting picked up on, either on TV or in Print / Digital. There are lots of Music journalists out there, all looking for great stories, coupled with your fathers Television work, that really is a great story to tell. Malc

Welcome Troy, as Dave mentions, what can you tell us about your father, and his singing. Always good to have a pic of his most coveted 45 :-)

Wow, Gloria Scott Lp made me twitch a bit... There are / have been copies on Discogs / eBay around the 100 Aud mark... Do forgive my 'French' but you would have to be a 'bloody fool' to pay that... (sold @£215) And I disagree with Manship on Australian presses are always superior W&G, yes, Philips, yes, Festival, NOT ALWAYS, some releases are bloody awful fidelity.

I don't think there is one appropiatre emoji Peter! 🥸😵‍💫🤪🫡🤫😴

We used stop there in the late eighties early nineties, en route and retuning from Stoke on Trent, same S**T twenty years later! and my god did we all talk some S**T when we were coming down...

yep should do Ken, Renfe are pretty good on tickets.. here is an old printed one of mine to show...but you can do via the app as well.. PXFCH2.pdf Buena Suerte 🙂

I think all the great music that lands on mass 'Northern' soul re issue LP's is very common place now. It's the lesser things that surprises me, I heard 'Rokk - Patience' the other week, and thought how the hell have they got hold of that? and of course it's these SYNC license deals from labels like Numero et al. Always strikes me when you hear something really good in your local shop, you think, bloody heathens, these shoppers have no idea how lucky they are to get 'Rokk - Patience' on a trip to Sainsburys... Should give em all 'Rat Race' get em moving and buying more! lol

I remember a fight at the Old Vic, would have been late 87, bit of punch up, but the bouncers were on it straight away.

Brilliant track, though I think the flip deserves a bit more than 'The flip will appeal to lovers of deep soul harmony' That’s a seriously good slow side, if 'Inside Guys' wasn’t so good 'Friend Heartaches' would be the A.
