Soulstu

Picked this up a bit ago, a nice loping very late 60s dancer, great vocals...ooh look - Gerald Sims, Fred Smith, Eugene Record, Sonny Sanders - that'll do for me!

PM'd you, bro

My copy arrived this morning - both sides are nice and clear sounding, love it! it's archetypal Popcorn (with a capital P). For the price of three pints you get some proper northern in your box!

Don't know if anyone on SS knew this but Jerry Ganey died last summer. Nice tribute site here by his family https://www.facebook.com/jerrygeeganey You Don't Love Me is a fantastic slab of big city northern soul and that record alone is worthy of this post, thanks for that Jaygee.

Most of Ollie Jackson The Day My Heart Stood Still Really frustrating record for me cos the backing track is fantastic and his voice is pretty good....but..... "hey ding dong would you believe that a seal could play ping pong" etc etc, bloody hell, I love our music to bits but that don't half stretch my patience. This would have made a brilliant instrumental.

'Distributed by the Florida Record Pool' - I'm a doctor - I can decipher anything!...NEXT!

I'll kick it off Mike, surely 6am has to be a bare minimum? Isn't that the point of a 'niter? - sun streaming through the gaps in the venue's curtains as the normal world are waking up? Any earlier and it's a glorified evening do! That's my opinion as a punter.

...to Barbados, oooh palm trees palm trees - that may as well have played that!

What's with the frickin' jiving (00:40) - not what I signed up for.

Thanks guys, hope this isn't going to be the start of a a Kev/Chalky scrap!

Looks like the Kent one is the 'safest' option as expected!... Thanks for clearing that up Stu!!!

Hmmm... done some more digging - so the Torch one is '98, Soul Series is???? and Kent is '09..? Any ideas on which is the 'proper' first official press?

Quick question chaps, Spencer Wiggins - trawled SS and the web but any idea what label it came out on first - Soul Series? - was this legit? or was it a Kent pressing?, Torch records? Can't seem to find out. Manship has a single sided SS promo for sale - is that the one to look for? atb Stu

This one does it for me, just look at this face, in the zone or what! If it was on my wall it would remind me what it's all about - uptempo soul!!!!!

What Rob said!.... with bells on.

Petula Clark - I Couldn't Live Without Your Love - Tony Hatch, our very own Bacharach!

Willie Hutch in Lucky To Be Loved by You gives a sneak peak into his 90s rave lifestyle '...been introduced to pure ecstasy' !!!!!!!

Don't know if this has been done but what about the whole of Two For The Price Of One by Williams & Watson... Always cracks me up "Sweet shazam a puff of Cadillac smoke, he's just an old love bandit!" what a pair of love gods!!!!

Yep fantastic record, a white band from Omaha - gets played out where I go, sounds absolutely brilliant. https://www.nebrocks.org/chevrons.htm

original vinyl...NO!

Sad Little Girl - Les McCann mmmmmm!

Barney, I've got a funny feeling that might have been me, as I reckon there were only about 2 of us there in jeans but I wasn't with those two women. Been into northern for nearly 40 years mate but only been 'back out' for a year or so, now the kids are old enough to be left on their own, What would you like me to wear instead?.... If you're going to the dayer this aft I'll still have some jeans on - sorry !

ANSWERED!

Only a matter of time....
