Having loved black music (can I say that) in all its forms ,Ska ,Reggae Blues, African but mainly soul again in all its genres since the age of about fourteen I quite like some of the remixes and don't think there is any danger of them killing soul music. As long as they bring something different to the original, I have long searched on you tube for a Motown remix I heard at a soul night with no success, what I did find however was track after track of monotonous bass , drum machine shenanigans, Marvin seems to be a prime target for bedroom mixers. I guess many here will be spitting feathers at the recent Willie Mitchell /Adele mash up but again I think it works, I would not like to be the brave soul who chances playing it but you have to applaud the imagination of whoever put the two together. Let's face it the scene loves debate, argument call it what you will which is a good thing as it shows above all that we all care about the music and if it needs stuff like this to make new blood aware of the scene it can't be a bad thing IMO. My memory aint that good anymore but I have an old tape of a Robbie Vincent show where he played a nine minute remix of the Temps Papa Was A Rolling Stone after which he speculated what Norman Whitfield would think of it, nothing new under the sun I guess

Oh the painful memory, I had a signed poster from Wilson Pickets gig in Liverpool somewhere around the late 70' also signed by Phillip Mitchell.The only place my wife at the time would it and a few others displayed was on the wall going down the cellar sreps. Needles to say when we sold the cottage they were forgotten about until in bed the first night in our new house I jumped up shouting "mi fffing posters.Back to the cottage next day and you guessed it, torn down and burnt, bugger!
