  1. And for those who haven't visited the site for a while there are now galleries for flyers/adverts and photos. Photos... https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/photos/ Flyers & adverts https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/flyers/
  2. P.S. Just counted and there are so far 45 podcasts.
  3. Thank you so much for the kind words Pete, means a lot. I wouldn't expect anyone to like all the records, even I don't like all the records but it is about a bit more than that, or I would like to think it is. Stafford like any other venue had its share of turkeys but they have to be included for accuracy. Again thanks. P.S. Somehow I don't think you will like the last one or the next
  4. For all you Modern Soul lovers, a set as played by Soul Sam in early 1984 at Stafford and other venues of the time. https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/StaffordTOTW/files/298864af961fdc34c63547eb6bb3c8de-44.html The Latest - Starting Over - Ransom Records Bridget Cooper - Get into The Love Groove - Birdie Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes - Don’t Give Me Up - Philly World The Chi-Lites - I Keep Coming Back To You - Private I Junior Walker & The All-Stars - In And Out - Motown (Blow Your House Down Lp) Terri Wells - I’ll Be Around - London/Philly World Clarence Jackson - Wrap It Up - R&R The Jones Girls - You Can’t Have My Love - PIR The Fresh Band - Come Back Lover - Ar ’N Be Records Bobby Womack - Tell Me Why - Beverley Glen Rome Jeffries - Good Love - Rain records Jocelyn Brown - Somebody Else’s Guy - Vinyl Dreams The Detroit Spinners - Right Or Wrong - Atlantic The Ritchie Family - Real Love - RCA (All Night All long Lp) Funk Deluxe - This Time - Salsoul Evan Rogers - Stay Here With Me - RCA Starpoint - It’s All Yours - Elektra
  5. To Mike and the Mods and everyone in Soul Source land, hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and 2014 brings you all you wish for.
  6. Nothing to do with politics John. We are talking about a well respected soul night or nighter here, not a local soul night where you would expect cheesy classics and standards.....Aretha, radio 2 fodder as good as it is not a major UK all-nighter spin.
  7. I'm referring to them all Ted. If it is a classic oldies soul night then no it isn't a problem, although I wouldn't be happy travelling 150 miles to hear you play this to be honest. I can hear this at a local venue, or records like it which I don't have a problem with. The Miracles may have been inspiring once upon a time Pete but it isn't inspiring no longer when you have heard it countless times. I'm not saying it isn't good and the right venue not a problem but the question was at a respected nighter or soul night, by that I take it to mean one that has a reputation nationally with people expected to travel to hear the guests.
  8. As good as these records maybe it is hardly inspired or inspirational DJing is it? They are timeless classics (selling in their millions some of them) and not what I personally wish to hear at an all-nighter. No wonder I fined myself travelling less and less.

  10. Got mine from Jazzman I think, coloured ones. Not the cheapest but perfect fit. Bit thicker than standard paper as well.
  11. Great photos mate, thanks for posting. Would love to see the rest.
  12. And that is still the case for many if they want to listen to the rarities of Butch, Andy Dyson, Mick H, etc...... If you want the same old same then you can go to a venue in your village n'er mind town or city.
  13. I will get Andy to go....he can drive for a change See you in 2014 hopefully.
  14. Major cities will always have a decent number of youngsters but major cities are representative of the country as a whole. Neither do you see them travel. There are plenty from London, Manchester, Leeds and other cities who bang on about wanting something new and are never seen outside of where they live, unless of course they are djing.
  15. The second podcast to feature Steve Smith's record from the days of Stafford. https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/StaffordTOTW/files/46fa7c4627f85b463494613e7eec84b0-43.html Willie Walker - Jerk It With Soul - Taste Sunlover’s - My Poor Heart - Breakthorugh Sam Dees - Lonely For You baby - SSS (Dan Brantley) Chuck Holiday - Just Can’t Trust Nobody - Gloria Calvin & The Twilights - Bashful Boy - Har-Low (Sold to Keb or Steve Phyllis ?)

  16. Going to have to try and make it up there, heard nothing but good about the venue.
  17. Ruby Andrews is old and a classic example of what we are talking about. Most soul nights I attend the large part are far from young?
  18. I wouldn't ban anyone but I would expect anyone who attends a club to respect what the promoter is doing and what the club is advertised as. Many a time I've DJ'ed at events where it isn't about oldies, yet some muppet comes up and asks for oldies.
  19. I agree records were hammered, same in any scene but they had a shelf life and they were soon replaced by new discoveries. DJ's these days don't seem to have a not needed box anymore and feel it unnecessary to look for something forgotten or even new. As I said the choice available to DJ's has never been greater so why not use them?
  20. No it doesn't mean it is a bad record but the DJ's these days have to hammer every record until every ounce of goodness is drained from it. Familiarity breads contempt is never truer than on this scene. It's the very fact that the DJ's today have little imagination whereas once upon a time a long time ago DJ's all had individuality and imagination. If today's scene was like that it would be a far better scene for it. Dj's have never had so many records to choose from yet all you hear in so many venues is the same old same. Some of my favourite records are classics but I have heard them so often I couldn't care less if I never heard them again. All those who returned to the scene who are IMO responsible for this, when they were away doing whatever they did, what diid they listen to? A tape recording of the same top forty for 20 odd years?
  21. Fingers crossed mate. Hope Lisa and yourself have a good christmas and see you both soon hopefully. I hope all scumbag thiefs have a sh*t christmas.
  22. Gutted for you Kim, no mate would steal from another. I hope you find out who it was and then let everyone know. Simon, same for you, hope you get your records back. The guy who has your records should be worried.
  23. dunno why you didn't hear it ten years ago, I heard it many a time in the east mids when I lived there, one of the top 500.
  24. A soul pack record does't necessarily make it a common record. John said he would use records for soul packs when he needed money. He might have a box of 25 of a particular record, he might have a 100 but they were used regardless. Very few might have turned up since so in essence some so called soul pack records might just be pretty rare and not as common as the term suggests.
