Happy Feet

2 out of a series of Eps. Wonderful news

I'm pretty sure that Aldi during Lockdown or just before named a couple of their beers ,The Golden Torch , The Twisted Wheel , The Hacienda & Otis ( obviously not their own brew ) in cans , not sure if still available .

Sounds very 90s indie pop to these ears , might do well if they change their anticipated market , definitely not any type of soul in there.

Belgium release too on Epic

It may got a Rsd release too a couple of years back ?

Would make one hell of a jig saw puzzle

Condolences Big Al on losing your wife , & I hope you're coping it can't be easy . Regarding your question wether it's ok to play MP3 , or Laptop out and about on the Northern scene as it is , I would say no . If however in a local pub , party, celebration, etc I don't think anyone would care , unless requested otherwise by the host.. I understand your point regarding all the emidiscs ,not acetates played at venues like WC etc , in years gone past, but the purists wouldn't and shouldn't have to listen to a totally bootlegged format either, hopefully those nights are gone forever . An MP3 only release cut to a carver or emidisc , or even a cd only track is a tricky one , otherwise how would it get a play if at all in today's venues , still a bootleg , or cheating ? During Lockdown there was a fear that we wouldn't ever get the chance to hear soul music played , at venues on vinyl again , now we have let's make the most of it , while we can .

I read it for the 1st time yesterday ( wasn't a member in 2011 ) and like Woodbutcher would love to hear the outcome , great so far , don't keep us hanging,,,

Works out at £13.15 each , give or take a percentage point , hardly worth hanging on to them for so long , as you say probably be better splitting them up , shame really ( less 20% ) more like £10.52 each , some ones done well out of it.

I have just read the sad news of Jimmy passing , always a good night out wherever he played with The Vagabonds , Rip Jimmy condolences to family & friends.

Can't imagine another box set of tracks on 45 for the first time in the near future but there have been a few out via expansion , Ozone recently , Passion Soul Essentials , Brenda Holloway, The Temptations, and The Deptford Northern Soul Club , ( I know the Isleys was a previous 45 ) to name a few , so there's hope yet . Still hoping that one day the Ivy Joe Hunter unreleased album finally gets released and then we might get more of his 45s to follow ,

Hi Wick , Have Pmd Dave

I meant the pressing as the bootleg of Canadian origin , not the recording .I think a slight confusion, I said one seller on eBay claimed pressing of Canadian origin , another on Google says Sonic Wax .

One seller on ebay claims pressing is of Canadian origin , another on Google says Sonic wax .

Loads on here back in 2015 , Kiki Dee , On A Magic Carpet Ride , I'm sure someone can can show the link , It's on Google.

I don't think we've had anything from the Supremes yet , always thought this is worth a spin or a 45

Here's 2 more Motown Album tracks from the "Win or Lose" Soul 4 real compilation, Johnny Bristol , Tell Me How To Forget A True Love , David Ruffin , One Lucky Day I Found You .

Great version but definitely got a 45 release ,,,

Soul Brother records have the full list of what was available from last Monday after 8 pm , not sure if all still in stock .

I had the chance to play all these tracks today , whilst out hunting in Mr Tees in Kidderminster, on a Dutch Album of The Manhattans greatest hits , and to be honest after reading these posts they do sound dated especially "Shining Star " , and with the wonders of a good mixing deck and production team anything could be possible , even in the mid 70s to the 80s .

Check out ficklefingers sales April 21st on here he had a copy for sale

The joys of predictive text Rufus Glumly 😂

What ever your reason's are for hijacking Soul Directions, back story on the history regarding their latest release , at least they make sure their customers are happy , why not just contact them privately to pass on the info , I don't get it sorry .
