Soul Shrews

Got plays on the Rare Groove scene London mid 80s Cheers Paul

Mecca I believe but I can imagine it bounced the floor at the Ritz too with that bombastic bass line 😎 Cheers Paul

Dave Evison used to play it last couple of years. It was where I 1st heard it. Cheeers Paul

A little on the left side but not at all strange 😜🙄😜🙄😜🙄 Cheers Paul

You"re right Daved thats not the one 🙄 Cheers Paul

Was a Shrewsbury collective (Modern Soul pioneers) discovery. They took a copy to Wigan and Soul Sam played it as his last record of his spot before Pat Brady took over(this was its 1st play at a Northern allnigter). Ironically as there were only a few dancing Mr Brady faded it out before Charley lets go. Pep had copies in his shop at the time along with many other new releases . John Manship had it on his list too. Don"t remember Soul Bowl selling it as a new release. I reckon theres a long 12" version out there somewhere, but its got my name on it so don"t get any ideas 😜 Cheers Paul

Didn" t Cliff cut some straight gospel LPs in the 80s too ? Cheers Paul

Just different pressing plants I would think Cheers Paul

I"m looking forward to the 1st OAP underground culture 😜😜 Cheers Paul

Been to Frankfurt a couple of times, Arthur Fenn and Terry Jones guesting at one and Mick H and Andy Dyson at another. Great young up for anything crowd and accross the board sounds in that great three floor venue with balconys on all floors to chill on and watch the river go by Cheers Paul

Hehe yep remember reading that too Cheers Paul

This one for me But then again I am a youngster !! Cheers Paul

Was played @ Wigan. Don"t know who played it first but Russ was playing when I started going late "78 Cheers Paul

Google "Sweater Funk" for regular (modern soul every Sunday @ Knockout ) northern/modern soul nights. Make Out Room (Mission) has some great Lowrider nights (free) Tuesdays Cheers Paul

You"ve been unlucky ! Cheers Paul

Don"t think thats always so bad Steve, can be a different fliside or mix. Its buying the exact same copy I mean. Happened today I had a Gwen McCrae LP in my hand and could not remember if I had it. Left it behind after a whle pondering got home to find I did have a (better) copy. Maybe I"m learning Cheers Paul

Yes when I get home with a new puchase and then realise I have it already Cheers Paul

Hehe nice thread Cheers Paul

Love Steveland Morris up to and including this LP Cheers Paul

I am buying more than the last few years from shops/record fairs as I am now 56 years old and making the most of that while I still physically can. Internet/Soul Source buying will carry on ! Cheers Paul
