Podcast number 60!! Never thought I'd do ten when I started this! Well we have the third on the trot (fifth overall if memory serves) celebrating the modern soul that Richard Searling was featuring in his sets, many from major labels. A great testament to the open mindedness and diversity of the music back in the 80's. https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/StaffordTOTW/files/podcast_62.mp3 Gwen Guthrie - Seventh Heaven — Island Maurice Messiah — We Can Go To Your House — Quality Alicia Myers - I Fooled You This Time — MCA Angela Bofill — Is This A Dream — Arista Lillo Thomas — You’re A Good Girl - Capitol Atlantic Starr — Touch A Four Leaf Clover — A&M Dayton — Promise Me — Capitol Curtis Hairston — I Want You (All Tonight) — Pretty Pearl Gwen Guthrie — Padlock — Island Kashif — Help Yourself To My Love — Arista Jeffrey Osborne — Don’t You Get So Mad — A&M The Ronnie McNeir Experience — Keep Giving Me Love — Capitol Howard Johnson — Keepin’ Love New — A&M Lenny White — Didn’t Know About Love (Till I Found You) - Elektra

Love to hear them too Pete, great to hear all the studio happenings. Back to Spector, for a musician, he must have been a nightmare as well as a genius, take after take after take! The film/documentary about the musicians at Gold Star called The Wrecking Crew is a great must see film.

"Sound Of Excitement" is also on the Jamito label. I like blue eyed but this is just too white for my liking.

This is it I think....

This photo was posted on Gethro's facebook page, taken on the last night at the Catacombs. I did a bit of photoshop improvement on the original photo at the time it was posted....

Some interesting reading about Gold Star Sudio, apparently it was a former dentists office! https://cavehollywood.com/the-historic-gold-star-recording-studio-and-the-audio-legacy-of-producer-phil-spector-c-2009-harvey-kubernik/

Here we go, Baby I Love you take errrr 3 like he has to think to remember how many times

Don't bring me into this Kenny Carter is great but Spyder just greater IMO, far from sh*te!

The guy was a genius in the studio, proper tw*t out of it Love to hear stuff like this, great insight into life in the studio and those behind the record.

Limitations was late Wigan/early 80's for Dave Raistrick. Tut Sutton first played by Mick H.

I wlll have a peek inside the cover at the weekend, ta.

Check out Mark Windle's book as well, It's Better To Cry and his new one which is a recent article.

Dave Thorley and myself had the US Everyday People covered up as the Holidays for along time.

Didn't realise/know there was a download?

Just listening to the second set of LP's, quality fantastic and the vocal to the Kinnetts/Kontets.

I'd have said 70 for issue and 50 for demo but it wouldn't surprise me if either went for a ton given current demand which will only grow. Great record but it ain't rare.

I agree Glynn the buyer often leaves me scratching me head

£9.99 is a fair price, £14.99 would have been fair. But I saw it listed at £25 whilst it was still for sale at $4.99 from the label website. Yes it is supply and demand but sometimes though collectors don't have a say in what they pay though, the decision is taken out of their hands and greed on the part of the seller sometimes plays a part.

It is great to hear something you don't know but I'm not interested in the videos which are most of the time frankly terrible, I just want to listen and the old refosoul hasn't been replaced. The quality of a lot of the music in the videos leaves a lot to be desired too.

Think there was a want for Milton Bennett this week?

I miss refosoul that was on here and the topics we had, mid tempo Friday etc. Youtube I can't abide all the sh*t videos. There should be a spotify for Rare Soul!

They just exploit others mate. It only cost them a fiver and to mark it up to £40 some were asking is taking the piss IMO. Glad to see it came out again to put a stop to it.

It's on one of the Ol Virginia cds I think
