Tough to find on the French 45. It is on a couple of LPs.

It’s not you I’m having a go at. I get cover versions but why do people have to think they are acceptable to play at an event? Northern Soul is eitist and driven by the rarities and exclusivity. Naff should be left to the muggles.

me ears are bleeding! IS this a p*ss tek? If any Dj played these I would want my money back. Why do people feel the need to mess about with a scene that has been going so strong for decades with crap imitations?

simply highlighting the difference so that the gets the issue he wants

A year later mate the one with the Engineers name. Then on Cole around the same time if memory serves. "Am I Imposing" was early 00s. Early topics

The first issue is the Rock Way issue that doesn't credit the arranger. The Dutch one is as far as I am aware a year later in 1976. Elijah Cole was one nutty fruit cake 🤣

Last nights show, 4th AUGUST with special guest Deborah Cotton and Anthony Henson

Bout right I though Johnny Praye, about what it’s sold for privately isn’t? Think last one I saw was £800? Could’ve missed a couple?

It sounds unfinished to me the 'Has" version

Subjective I guess? Many don't like a harmonica in records. I don't particularly but I do prefer the take with it in, gives a bit more oomph.

Yep it's definitely there

A real copy or an actual acetate? What label was the acetate? It is on Youtube now

Black Wings Have.... Black Wings Has....

There are two issues Black Wing HAS and Black Wings HAVE

one I got yesterday

Was having a catch up with an old mate the other day and the conversation turned to noises or discrepancies on recordings that shouldn't be there. He mentioned two, The Caressors "I can't Stay Away" and what sounds like a motor bike kicking ups and shooting off towards the end of the recording, definitely something there. Also mentioned was Little Charles & The Vee Jays on De Carl, the creaking of a door opening. The dog barking on the bootleg of Candi Staton was also mentioned. There must be loads of examples of this type of cock up that snook into a recording.

Well done and thanks for the hard work that goes into making Soul Source what it is

There are a handful of the acetates, maybe 8 or 9 that Tim got I think in the early 90s, maybe 91?

This weeks show 28th July. No guest just two hours of great music.

I tend to disagree, many records are of a specific genre first and foremost, Jazz, Soul, R&B, County & Western and pop of course and it is simply sales that make them popular. It doesn’t necessarily make a successful country record “pop”, it is still a country and western record.

Sorry mate, was trying to remember whilst writing, “British writers of pop music” is what I should have quoted.

There is no doubt, Billy can do soul just like Jackie can do pop as both have shown in their careers. Who would have done the better version of the songs you mention? Guess we’ll never know for sure. Lyrically, Haunted House and It Only Happens (lightweight it might be) are miles away from RLSD. Red Light quite cheesy in parts lyrically but it is a great pop record. I guess it is ultimately the delivery that decides what the are and of course by whom, the example of Michael Ball bing a very good example. Whilst the writers of IOHWILAY were described as British and pop by @Tobytykeit does do them a bit of a disservice as the fact is they were heavily involved in 70s soul in the UK with their writing for various soul acts and quite rightly recognised as such. the market a record is aimed at and the success a record achieves also play a part. RLSD was clearly aimed at the pop market and as we know hugely successful. That alone makes it the very opposite of what records we look for. The scene has always been elitist and pop records or should I say successful pop records were left to the normal clubbers, we were above all that preferring rarity and exclusivity.
