Soul Shrews

Hi Derek I'm fine thanks surprisingly after spending most of the night thumping my head cos untill today when oldliason very kindly put Bert back on the "front page" I"d not seen your last post! Dunno how I missed that, sorry. Is Mr Cole planning an interview then? That would be something Just been on the dog and bone to "Kipper" keeping him up to speed as it were. He"s going to the 100 Sat..........don"t be buying any records off him now Great to see Mr Decoteaux back on top ! Cheers Paul

Flipsides pretty good too Adam Cheers Paul

Would appreciate that Chris Cheers Paul

Hi Chris Can you confirm if Berts still alive ? Cheers Paul

Thanks for sharing that Oldliason any "personal" memories of Bert are really welcome Cheers Paul PS Good luck with your music !!!

Simon, Our subscription ran out almost 2 years ago now. When we realised tried calling,E-mailing a good few times........no reply. Even got friends to ask Mike whilst out and about..stilll no joy.Gave up for a while Mrs Shrew finally got through cos we wanted to read the "modern soul" article of yours sent our details were sent 1 copy (not the "modern soul" one). When we realised we"d not been charged for that copy tried to get hold of them again.........guess what no reply. Given up again for now (don"t they want our euros ?) Got nothing against Bee Cool have bought some of their books too in the past and met and spoken with Mike and Stuart but you can only try and give away your money so many times Shame cos I really miss it Cheers Paul

Didn"t sound too bad .......................on the computer anyway. Daft already Ken Cheers Paco

Nice one Ken..........that sticker looks like it might be a bit tricky tho" Cheers Paco

Think my mate Chris "Bearsoul" has been playing this out richard. Not sure if he was pitching it up ! Great record Cheers Paul

And come to think of it..........Kenny Smith "Lord Whats Happening To Your People" ........................."Crime in the streets y'all !!"

Troy Keys "If I Had My Way"

Wash yer ears out girl !!! Cheers Paul

Steve Karmen takes some beating.......... but I like The Invitations "Look On The Good Side" Cheers Paul

No idea Justin I'm afraid but I do know Mary Stallins is modern soul sensation Adriana Evans mother. Great voice has Mary I really want the jazz LP with her singing "Ain't Nesessarily So" but I can never rember who its by I know its on Verve records and the promo is red vinyl............great track Sorry not much help Justin Cheers Paul

Love the Chi-Lites...................dunno if its crossover but "You Got To Be The One" Cheers Paul

O h yes ......even on a Friday night eh Mr Bridge ? Cheers Paco

Thought that was just a "nighter" problem Tony Cheers Paco

Me and my mate (Sydney Bridge) normally call 70s and older records that could have northern appeal as Nodern/Morthern Soul We"re gonna start a new club............anyone interested? Cheers Paco

Oh gosh its that "modern" word again (sigh)...........modern in the "normal" use is something made within the last couple of years. In the "Northern" use its any record recorded after Dec 31st 1969 Am I right or am I right? Cheers Paul

Oh poo!!! Have I missed Tamiko Jones then Baz? Cheers Paul

Course they did Pete..............then they realised the wheel had been done and the fire was started at the torch Cheers Paul PS Please let me know if you have an Ikettes to sell.

Or maybe Bunny Sigler "Don't Stop Doing What You"re Doing" (Neptune) Cheers Paul

Wot no clicks? Or are we just talking "great for DJing" here? Cheers Paul
