A genius and a great hero of mine. R.I.P.

I think you are quite right. In the near future if you play someone on this forum ten records they didn't know in random order - five being AI and five being "genuine" - I bet few of us will be able to distinguish which are which. And that's us. Your average music fan most definitely won't get it right. Nor will they care.

I posted on one of his youtube records a couple of months back pointing out that all this stuff was AI produced. They took my comment down pretty quickly. And, anyway, most people couldn't care less so I was probably wasting my time .

Many of these soundtracks can be quite expensive, mainly because collecting soundtracks is a "thing" in its own right, so not just soul fans who seek them out.

A brilliant artist. "The Beginning" LP is simply fantastic. As were so many of her other records. RI.P. Ann..

I don't think he is white, but am not 100% sure. What I do know is that, somewhat surprisingly, given what else is on there, this single is on the juke box of the Fred Perry store in Covent Garden. 😅

Totally forgotten, or never even known in first place. I played this superb record at the Uckfield soul night three years ago and completely cleared the floor. Not one single person dancing to it.

Did he buy it from Rod Dearlove? I'm pretty sure Rod was first person to have it...he mentioned it in an old copy of Voices From Shadows....

Yes, a lovely show with great records throughout....R.I.P Timmy

Yes, Soul Kitchen in Tunbridge Wells. About four of five Sundays a year. They play loads of what could be termed "Low Rider" sides. I personally played this wonderful Reggie Milner record there about three years ago. o

Have a look on ebay, there are lots of these types of posters for sale, but probably take some of the ridiculous prices with a pinch of salt. Having said that, they can go for a lot of money. As an aside, what a weird poster. It lists songs by both Dells and Harold Melvin & Blue Notes that are basically nothing to do with them. Promoter not doing his homework, I think....

Yes, out there, no question, but prices have gone up drastically over last few years.

It's the same type of thing that clueless sellers do when calling records "Northern Soul" which are nothing of the sort.

Magnificent player, magnificent bloke.

Agreed. Not remotely 'weak'. Many fantastic records, and nothing to do with 'b' sides. The term "Low Rider" to describe this type of music/scene has also been in usage for well over twenty years. It's not a new terminology.
