Soul Shrews

Never realised that was Bert, thanks pomonkey 'Tho have to confess I prefer Nina Simones version Cheers Paul

Theres only one Soul Source!!!

Exactly! Couldn't 'ave put it better myself Sid Nice one Cheers Paco

Seems to be three silhouette faces on there too,Stuart? Bert goes surreal? We should be told Cheers Paul

Well thats as clear as mud then! Wanna sell it Stuart? Cheers Paul

Also remember a Frank Elson column in the mid 80's (sorry don't know exact date) where Frank claims not to be able to list a years top 20 because there was no soul recorded that year. Of course this prompted a deluge of letters/tapes to him pointing out his mistake. To his great credit Frank spent the next few columns giving up valuble space reviewing a comp' tape sent to him (from Jan Barker I believe) of indie soul from that year, Jessie James Willie Clayton, Mary "Love'' Comer etc etc. Bit off thread I know, but it reminded me when I read your post. By the way I think Franks claim of there being no soul that year was tongue in cheek, and maybe just a ruse to get some nice tapes! Is he still around? He'd be great on 'ere. Cheers Paul Woosnam

Bon soir Derek, Well I've never heard/seen that, but I'll certainly be keeping an eye out. Just goes to show how ahead of his time Bert was what with all the Stevie comps over the last few years, think the last I heard about was DJ Spinna! Who knows maybe in a few years time we'll have "various artists tribute to Bert" compilations! Still hoping Millbrand and Simon T will get back to us on this. Cheers Paul

Not completely sure why you've quoted me there Baz, I'm NOT trying to say I have more soul, for liking 70's as well as 60's than a 60's only fan. It just gets my goat when 60's only fans label everything recorded after 31 Dec' '69 as disco! That is obviously wrong, yet we hear it time and again. I'm not too sure on the word "soulier" either! Cheers Paul Woosnam

Nah, not really Chris, seem to remember Kieth Minshull playing it every week at Wigan '79/'80 ish didn't get it then, still don't. Seem to remember him playing the Tams "Hey Girl....." 'bout the same time and not getting that one either. Before anyone starts I'm sure they're great records just don't float my boat thats all Cheers Paco

Hi Mike Not sure if I should be replying here, but got onto Soul Source this evening ('bout 18:00 UK time) found I'd been logged out, didn't do this myself. Tried to log in, top half of screen said ''Welcome back...." bottom half of screen said there was an error try again. Tried again ditto, several times during the evening. Seems to be ok now.(21:45 UK time) Cheers Paul Woosnam

Or is it an aberration?

Leave it alone mate

Thanks Cheers Paul
