Soul Shrews

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

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

No Ed from what I remember hearing he named it "northern soul" because soul fans from the north of England were visiting London, often to see their football teams play at the weekend. and were popping into the Soul City shop buying uptrmpo soul records. Made it easier for staff to sell records to the northern fans who were looking for that certain dance beat. Cheers Paul

Essential reading ! Read and re-read this many times over the years. Still waiting for issue 2 Tim ! Cheers Paul

RIP Denise one of my favourites Cheers Paul
