I listened, as I really enjoy histories of northern/rare soul, the creators, the characters etc and Soussan was very obviously one of the latter. The only thing that really hit me was the fact he is still, seemingly, either unaware of where his fake products ended up or simply doesn't care and, presumably, didn't care at the time either: He states he was 'doing the scene a favour by making tunes accessible to those who'd otherwise have to go to a club and find a certain DJ with a genuine copy to hear these tunes' strikes me as laughable nonsense. -
'Well done you' I say for speaking out. The issue for me is that many see these as 'victimless crimes' but having worked in retail when I left school, I know that isn't the case. If it's a chain/franchise then the manager and staff get it in the neck -often resulting in disciplinary action or at the very least the staff member r store being marked down for performance. If it's a small shop then it can make it simply unable to carry on trading. Even huge supermarket chains add missing stock costs onto prices of the rest of the goods we buy, so we're all paying for someone else's sticky fingered habits. Stealing from a charity shop is about as low as it gets though.

I've given this a bit of thought recently. Certainly their recent single seems to have sold well, so clearly there's a desire from some quarters for this type of release. However, I really guess it depends on whether you've thought about what constitutes 'soul' music per se, why it moves us, why it attracts us and why it keeps us. Personally it attracts me, and I have a passion for it as it speaks to me personally on a few different levels, that can really only come from an entirely human: human interaction IMHO, a human has a soul and a machine or bit of machine code doesn't. Whilst it is, undoubtedly, a bit 'king canute V tide' we will be positively discouraging any of our record sharers playing anything with any AI content for that very reason, it isn't soul & it cannot be soul.

Mine came with the lp but yes a giveaway gimmick.
-
It's really nothing to write home about. A noticeable rumble until the music starts and very low volume -challenging to DJ with and I'd not bother for listening at home because of the rumble! All in all a bit of a gimmick IMHO, like a flexidisc!

I've got a 4" disc like that. A Mayer Hawthorne 4" 45rpm disc with a very passable cover of Jesse James 'love is alright' on it. Here it is with the soul city RE 7" for size comparison.

Ken started this event a few years back in memory of his wife and our well loved friend Heather. He's raised many, many thousands of pounds now for a wonderful cancer charity local to Cardiff (Velindre) with every DJ doing their best - always free of charge. The event itself held at the Pontyclun athletic club, with a cheap bar, great sunken dancefloor, plenty of seating a large car park and everything you need for a wonderful event. Close to a sell out last night and usually there are no tickets left months before, a busy dancefloor and happy dancers, floortappers, chin strokers and bar talkers. A good spread of local and not so local DJs from ~Wales, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol, always authentic original vinyl and some absolute monster sounds that would grace any collectors collection. What an absolute treat this event is, please keep it going Ken!

Pretty much the only times I've bought totally blind were mystery packs. One very large pack (500) from a very well known ex DJ -absolute rubbish in quality & condition, and took me years to get a fraction of the money back by selling on, kept virtually nothing, never bought again. One set of 7 or 8 packs from an online shop -great condition but very little mainstream northern (although much was advertised as exactly that) and again took years to shift elsewhere. Several sets from another well known ex DJ with his own website (but sadly he no longer sells), these were the higher priced 'packs' but always worth more on paper than I paid and I almost always made a small profit eventually selling on. I've kept almost nothing from any of those blind packs but trading up to better stuff was the name of the game, so at least the latter source worked for that anyway.

Good luck Jim, there is absolutely nothing of any quality* within 30 miles of us in the west country (except our own events naturally) and we regularly travel 2 hours each way every weekend as a result. *To be scrupulously fair there are some Micky mouse bootleg and top 100 do's locally, but each to their own & all that. I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven to live your way as Ashton Ukrainian is nirvana in our opinion, sadly it's a 7 hour round trip, so we tend to only make it once or twice a year max. When we're 'up north' we make a beeline to Rochdale 45revolutions, Ashton, East Lancs & Blackburn oldies, those really have to be some of the very best in the country IMHO.
