This is quite stunningly put together by DJ Spinna....do your ears a favour lover's of that Kashif sound...... Cheers, Mark R

Completed gutted! A very sad day for me.......his music was a major influence on me, not least due to his debut album being pivotal in my transition from 60's Northern into Modern Soul, but beyond that, all of his music since then until now. We lost a good one here for sure.... RIP Kashif Saleem (Michael Jones) :-( Mark R

Love it! Loads of great things on there but "Something" is a killer... Cheers, Mark R

Hi Mick, hope you're well mate? Can always rely on you to come up with a few I've missed. Got my eye off the ball chasing that banging house shite you see! ;-) Must check out that Gene Rice having seen it's in circulation. Cheers, Mark R

I would LOVE to hear Monique Bingham do a straight up jazz/soul album..........along with Lady Alma (Horton)......TOP vocalists!! Cheers, Mark R

Hi John, all good here mate....haven't played the Was-A-Bee 12" for years bud!! Cheers, Mark R

The Kaylow cut is off the scale!!

VERY! And that's a good call Dave, how could we miss that??? LOL Vinyl too for Soul Source lovers of the plastic stuff! https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-detail///Vega/Louie+Vega+Starring...XXVIII/Various+Artists+-+LP+Vinyl+-+Part+1+(of+3)+/vinyl/5310 https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-detail///Vega/Louie+Vega+Starring...XXVIII/Various+Artists+-+LP+Vinyl+-+Part+2+(of+3)+/vinyl/5475 Cheers, Mark R

And just to confuse things even more, the original, original release......still Mario on vocals...... https://www.discogs.com/Was-A-Bee-This-Is-What-You-Are-On-A-Clear-Day/release/355344 Cheers, Mark R

It was released on a 12" on the original label Schema, no 7" release. I assume it was later licensed to Unique so I guess the question is.......is the buyer looking for an "original 7" or the "original release" (i.e. the 12")??? Cheers, Mark R

Got Leon Timbo but not listened properly yet......clips made it a no-brainer as I recall though! Anderson.Paak is great......so much so I back-bought Venice on the strength of it!! That new Kindred I posted is the real bollocks!! Cheers, Mark R

I did buy 1 cut from the Baldwin album on download.......... Did anybody else on here get the limited run Kylie Auldist 45??? Cheers, Mark R

Wasn't aware of that, or at best had forgotten about it, but at any rate I was thinking about an original 7" on Schema..........not some later "reissue" so to speak. Cheers, Mark R

It was never released on a 7" as far as I'm aware...... Cheers, Mark R

Well I've just been listening to two you haven't mentioned and I'd say along with your fine list things are shaping up very nicely indeed!! Cheers, Mark R

Just some other versions/edits.....though not look-a-likey!! Cheers, Mark R

Two in Skegness on the same weekend!! Though I guess that's well documented elsewhere and I assume that they do attract VERY different crowds and are therefore both reasonably happy? Bit disrepectful of the "newbie" to the longest standing event though!! Slightly off topic, but one general observation..........there are a ludicrous amount of events on Saturday! It's plain crazy!! Cheers, Mark R

It's hard to believe that these things aren't out there isn't it?.......... Cheers, Mark R

By complete coincidence I inquired about this yesterday to Will (who no longer works there but was passing my message on to Eric), and today I asked Mark Bicknell who is going to make inquiries for me. I think they are decent guys so have no doubt all will be well but the frustration is understandable! Cheers, Mark R

Various way you can listen to this one folks depending on your preference..........our joint set at Lin Taylor's special birthday bash back in July........... Mixcloud: Podomatic (sorry, doesn't embed on here so just click the link below!): https://starpointsoulboy.podomatic.com/entry/2016-08-30T01_23_51-07_00 Soundcloud: Cheers, Mark R

The track at 48:20 sums it all up nicely I think! :-) Cheers, Mark R

Wrong place for this really but I got one of these spare for sale...... £25 Inc. standard UK P&P. Cheers, Mark R
