Anyone want to buy my late Dad's house? I'm due a share of the proceeds, about 30 grand, and can buy this then

Good point about Moving Away. Apparently "Nanny Goat" was the first reggae record and that was very early 68

Shouldn't this be in SOJ anyway?

The Studio 1 releases are a bit hit and miss too. The Roots and Dub ones are excellent. So are the Ska ones. But the Rocksteady album only has 3 or 4 actual rocksteady tracks on it, rest are early reggae.

I listen to an online German station (from Hamburg I think) called Laut FM Soul Allnighter. 24 hours nonstop northern, R&B, beat ballads, etc, etc.

Another vote for the Magma bags here. Detachable lid too so you can have your play box and use the lid to put the records you've just played in!

Looks crappy quality, if it broke you'd have to contact the O'Jays

Of 60s sides of course but not a 60s album.

The "60s album" Ska All Mighty is actually a 90s compilation on Heartbeat records from the US!

It's tradition to have a big party for 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th, 60th and 65th isn't it? Actually disregard that, they've abolished all traditions in this country...

I love his encounters with the musician Sax Kari, seemed like a great character! Interesting to read about the Natchez fire disaster too as immortalised in song by Howling Wolf and others.

I think Sanctuary have bought it back and it's on hiatus while legalities are sorted out.

Prince Buster owns all his own stuff and his productions on other artists. He only lets out a few tunes here and there, usually to the Japanese Rock A Shacka/Drum and Bass label. He really needs to do a deal with a big label for a box set or a series of albums while he's still with us.

What's the instrumental at the end?

We go to Albufeira every year, hoping to retire there too, made a lot of friends there. Needs more soul though!

Not to say it isn't though, just none the night I went in.

I went to the Cavern Pub last year and it's a decent little bar but it was more like a Beatles bar with Fab Four pictures on the walls. Didn't hear any soul.

I know Mike will probably delete my comment above but just thought I'd let people know that there are folk out there who believe in one rule for themselves and one for others.

The same guy rants on here about strange stuff and used to be a friend and deleted me on Facebook because he said I was "unhinged" due to having depression. Those in glass houses and all that....

Ska, rocksteady, reggae, jazz, blues, doo wop, old school hip hop, latin.

Bootlegs mate. Still got em all though

Aretha Franklin "I've Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You". It all kicked off at the time with the guys at FAME and her then husband Ted White and I bet she was a bit pissed off with it all when recording that session.

You can either dance or you can't. Simples.

This is a great idea. When you're posting up songs can you include "I'm a Fool I Must Love You" by the Falcons?

Get Ready - The Temptations. The first Motown tune I ever heard and still one of the best for me.
