  1. Have to say this season’s Champion’s League, under the new format has been pretty exciting. Teams have gone for it with goals galore and very few boring pointless matches. PSG whilst scraping through the group in their final game if memory serves are worthy winners. They played some great football, especially in the knock out rounds. The best teams were all in the pot, usually the draws engineered so the top teams had a better chance of getting through but not the case this season. It’s been more like the European Cup of old.

    Had a discussion with an old mate of mine (and many others) Kev Featherstone, about what was the first soul record? It seems a topic that creates some differing opinions, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, the introduction of strings etc etc. I've also recently been listening to Kent Records excellent Birth of Soul series off cds with many great examples of early soul. So, what do you think is the first soul record? Don't want your favourite, just where you think it all started?

  10. Reggie’s ‘Lost’ Soul Soul Junction's latest release features two previously unissued late 60’s Chicago Soul finds from the Scott Brothers Capri Productions vaults: Press Release: Reggie Soul “So Many Miles Away/Groovy Thang” SJ560 Release Date: Monday 9th June 2025 Chicago recording artist Reggie Soul (real name Reginald Stone) recording career consisted of three 45singles spread over 3 separate labels. Firstly, the funk outing “I Got Jody” backed with the soulful “I Feel So Bad” for the Red Balloon label. “I Feel So Bad” was a Lee Sain composition which Lee himself recorded under the title of “Baby Don’t Leave Me” for the Broach label. Reggie’s “I Got Jody” also came out a second time on Nation Time Records as the flipside to “Soul Walkin’” a cover version of the James Brown song but mis-credited as the performing artist Reggie Smith? Reggie’s third release “My World of Ecstasy/Mighty Good Loving” was released on the Scott Brothers owned Capri Records label in 1968. The fledgling Capri Records Company having been set up in premises at 409, East 47TH Street in Chicago’s Southside, used the front of the building as a record store with the rehearsal studios situated at the rear, the final recording sessions took place initially at some of the smaller independent studios across the city before using the major Columbia and RCA Recording Studios as Capri Productions grew. Reggie co-wrote both sides of his Capri 45 with Charles and Walter Scott respectively. The arrangements were provided by John Jackson and Bill McFarland who alongside Claude Williams provided the horn section to many of the Scott’s future productions. The Scott Brothers were also the house band at one of the Southside’s most popular night clubs ‘The Bonanza Lounge on 7641, South Halsted. Besides performing, they used the club to scout for potential artists for their label and it is believed that’s where their business relationship with Reggie Soul initially began. Surviving witness accounts always cite Reggie as a solo performer which begs the question who are the credited ‘The Soul Swingers’ on the Capri 45? Well, it transpires that this was a pseudonym used by the Scott Brothers present on the recording, Charles (Chuck) drums, Tommy (bass guitar) and Walter (Rhythm guitar). At the beginning of Soul Junction’s working relationship with Scot-Tees a further Reggie Soul unissued session was mentioned and sure enough two tape boxes arrived one containing “My World Of Ecstasy/Mighty Good Loving”, great, but disappointingly the second named tape had been reused as a rehearsal tape of several recognizable riffs of later Scott-Tees productions, doh! Then months later lady luck intervened, a box containing two unmarked acetates held together with a nut and bolt was found. After considerable investigation, it transpires that they are the missing Reggie Soul tracks which we now present to you. Both songs are A.C Carson compositions, The A-side “So Many Miles Away” is a wonderful crossover song that shares some lyrical similarities to fellow Capri stablemate Judson Moore’s released Chicago Music Bag 45 “Lisa” while the flipside of our release features Reggie’s interpretation of Judson’s “Groovy Thang”. So, at long last Soul Junction are able to present to the lost Reggie Soul sessions that several veteran soul scribes who known their onions have likened to another great Chicago recording artist, the mighty, Tyrone Davis.

  19. Talking is essential in my opinion, if only to give the dancers a bit of a breather. Record after record with no talking, you don’t need a Dj, just a laptop or jukebox. You aren’t a Dj if you don’t talk, just a record putter onner.
