Soul Shrews

Hi Mark What kinda stuff was he playing 1989 ? I'd pretty much stopped going to northern/modern dos by then. Cheers Paul

Think his "1st" modern soul stint may have lasted longer than "82 I moved to London in "83 and he was promoting modern soul nights @ Le Beat Route then Cheers Paul

Think the 60s mafia was earlier than 87.......the Turmills gig may have been 88/89 tho........ not sure Cheers Paul

Remember hearing Keb playing "modern" @ Turnmills club London circa "87 (?)........a night promoted by Ion & Sean McClusky Cheers Paul

"Boogaloo Down Broadway" Cheers Paul

Seem to remember the UK demo had the instrumental as the "A" side Cheers Paul

Sorry to go slightly off topic here (as I dont think this particular 45 has one) but can someone tell me where the light blue label demos fit in? Cheers Paul

Original label (LP) is "Tetragrammaton" released 1968 Cheers Paul

Probably the best thing I've/we"ve watched online........well done Dave/Ralph/ Richard...........and especially Ian Cheers Paul (+Mandy)

Very sad news Fantastic live go go gigs in London in the 80s..........got to see him live (and have a brief chat) in DC 2006 too. Love the Soul Searchers Sussex LPs RIP Chuck Cheers Paul

Hi Ian I have 11 special edits......heard there were 13 in total .......but looking at your list Boston is "new " to me. Thought I was just missing LA & Detroit I have; Washington DC St Louis Chicago Baltimore Cincinnati Cleveland San Francisco Miami Houston Dallas and best of all Philadelphia Would like to know the true number of edits Cheers Paul

Its a longer version (than the original 45) too John so well worth having if you ask me. Cheers Paul

Wonderful post Pep for a wonderful woman. Last time we saw you was @ the 100 club Ray Pollard gig (1990 ?) just before your w/ender...Helen asked me if we could put Mick Vickers(who"d travelled down with you) up for the night ...which for us was no problem..just that Helen was asking me just when Ray was singing "The Drifter"...always remember saying "Yeah I'm sure he can stay but ask me after Rays finished !" Have posted on other threads about memories from Lafayette but also remember you guys from Brum Locarno/Wigan and of course your Wolvo shops Wishing you strength in the coming days Cheers Paul Woosnam

Uk is a different mix than the US release isn"t it? "Just Don't Pay" I mean. That man Moulton again "I Don"t Wanna Leave You" is quite long (5 mins plus or so ) anyway Niether of which are on the "Today" LP pictured Cheers Paul

Was lucky enough to see The Dells /Emotions /and Bloodstone @ The Paramount Theater in Oakland a few years ago...........absolutly beautiful art deco building. Heard there was just as nice a theater in San Francisco but the powers that be pulled it down ? Cheers Paul.

Did you find any tunes ? Cheers Paul

The Uk outro is not that much longer Chers Paul

Basic Black & Pearl "There'll Come A Time..." has a slightly longer "outro" on the UK release than the US 45......not heard the original Canadian 45 so don"t know if thats the same Cheers Paul

Flesch Records ?? Cheers Paul

Think geeselad means Wartelooplein flea market which is just down the road from Rembrandtsplein and is open daily except Sundays On Utechtsestraat just off Rembrandtsplein there is Concerto Records a large 2nd hand shop Wax Well probably the best tho (they are clued up on prices) ask to see more 45s and a box may appear from the basement ! Cheers Paul

"Breaking Training Tonight" Cheeze Paul

I believe you'r e right Rbman ........and what a lovely old stomper too !!! Cheers Paul

Remember talking to a guy in DC waiting for the record show to open.....he is a free jazz collector ....told me his wife had a rule "one record in...one out" !! Cheers Paul

I was all day in Rookys in Janruary and bought three 45s ! I actually bought more LPs there this time round. But they're always getting "new" records so you never know. Also they know prices so most high end northern stuff goes straight on the bay. Also may be worth asking to see Dicks "good box" which he keeps behind the counter. Also SBOY Amoeba and Rasputin Records (downtown San Francisco store) have stores in Berkley, which is a short ride away accross the bay on the BART, and I've found their prices to be less than the same stores in San Fran Cheers Paul PS jinx74 is a San Francisco resident/record dealer and a member on here so maybe worth a PM

Hi SBOY If you like slower/laid back grooves I can reccomend the Elbo Room on Tuesday nights. Its situated in the Mission district 647 Valencia St between 17th & 18th. A lovely old bar and no door tax....... DJs playing (mainly) 60s down/mid tempo soul from original vinyl. Also the Lipo Lounge in China town has DJs on Sunday nights in the basement playing 70s rare grooves/2step thru to 80s boogie tunes As Golden 101 has said Rookeys on Haight (between Filmore & Webster) and Amoeba are always worth a look.....just accross the road from Rookeys towards upper Haight is Groove Merchant Records (ask to see 45s boxed up behind the counter) It s a great town and I"m sure you'll have a fantastic time Cheers Paul
