Just how long do they have to have recorded for to be considered? Surely it is about the catalogue.legacy and influence they have left behind or still have that counts towards an artists greatness not the length of his or her recording career ((although it does help). The Beatles didn't last much more than a decade bout are still influencing artists to this day, Elvis hasn't recorded and has been dead since the 70's yet still has a massive influence on music. It is the same of the artists we revere, the impression they have left on us as lovers of soul music that should be the sole factor, not the fact they haven't recorded for 20, 30 or 40 years? Most of the artists that can be and often are considered the greatest have done little or nothing since the 70's.

It's free on the TV though........and as it is showing now thought it might be of interest to some

This new channel recently come to Sky (166) This series might be of interest to some of you... https://www.pbs.org/theblues/ The Blues¢Å¾¢ anchors a multi-media celebration that raises awareness of the blues and its contribution to American culture and music worldwide. Under the guiding vision of Executive Producer Martin Scorsese, seven directors will explore the blues through their own personal styles and perspectives. The films in the series are motivated by a central theme: how the blues evolved from parochial folk tunes to a universal language. It's started sowing but there may well be catch-ups repeats etc....

been at least three through ebay last two or three years. It's great Northern but the bloke can't sing

I'd agree with George, it's dull and can't for the life of me see the appeal to an all-nighter goer, not the type of record I want to hear.

It's a magazine published (quarterly I think) in the UK.

Clydie King - Missin' My Baby?

Hi Dean, that makes two of us, I didn't understand your reply I thought you were referring to people playing the re-issue out.... PS Before someone comes back here and has a go, if someone wishes to play the re-issue out then that is up to them.

I hope not, we might as well give up and all play ten quid reissues out instead of the originals.......but if thats what some are happy to do then up to them.

I have a cd copy of a tape you did in I think 1985 Ion with Sandy Golden on it. I think you are right with the years Rob sold it to Richard. I can double check as the records were at Nick Stevenson's before they went and sure he said it was '91. Think there was 3 records in the deal in total.

Picture from Heey Baby Beach Days book, never seen the comp. I'll have a look out for it. I believe you btw, just quoting what Paul Trefzger said.

I sent Paul a picture of the Pottsville Traditions and it was first time he had seen it, he said they looked familiar. It was he who said they could be the same as the Abet group but wasn't sure, I mentioned at the time they didn't sound the same. I'll dig the e-mails out when I get the chance.

summit like. £800 I think last one saw sold although seen a vg+ for £450. Great double sider.

Previous topics....

same can be said for many mentioned really, not many do have longevity and survive across the decades. Many survived maybe a decade and then resorted to oldies circuit, touring keeping their name up there.

One of the most under-rated (IMO) and one I've been listening to a lot, Tommy Tate.

fookin ell Moldie, it samples a 70's record and she was born in the 60's

no one in particular and you are right I don't know every DJ but I know a lot of them.

I simply used the "rare" tag to differentiate it from the more mainstream club soul. Maybe a more apt name can be dreamt up

I would probably assume they would be 70's northern unless a recognised out and out modern soul DJ on the line up. People are free to listen to and go where they please, can't force anyone to go anywhere, but there is too much talk from many on here who profess to be supporters of more progressive music policies, from 60's through the decades who fail to follow up what they say.

I don't claim to be anything....If I saw what you wrote or something similar on a flyer I would take it to be an oldies night, simple as that. The majority don't want across the board, 60's to the present day, that is a fact. Rare Soul is just that to me whatever the year.

Can't we just call it a Rare Soul Scene with Rare Soul Nights/Nighters? Time the tags and genres were done away with, it just holds the scene back.
