Have You Shaped The Scene?
I like to think that the scene and soul music shaped me, along with other influences in life. If I've added anything along the way, then I'd be happy with that fact! Cheers, Mark R

- Ron Littlejohn & The Funk Embassy - Shining On
Of interest to many on here I'm sure............. http://funkembassy.bandcamp.com/album/shining-on https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ronlittlejohnfunkembassy Cheers, Mark R added by site http://youtu.be/YtbLBqnZ7Uw This EP, available on cdbaby and itunes by the end of October, 2013, has been written by Soul & Funk lovers, who missed the Golden Age of 70s music, when so many timeless songs were written by wonderful artists. Our inspiration came from Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Rolling Stones, Herbie Hancock, James Brown, John Lennon, Sly & The Family Stone, Little Richard, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gaye and so many others. Funk lovers will enjoy the booty shakin' groove of Cream#9, James Brown's fans will probably enjoy Alana Bridgewater and Ron Littlejohn's performance on 'Light me up', and.... we'll let you discover the rest by yourselves. Feel free to visit us on Facebook and our website for the latest news on.fb.me/funkembassy www.funkembassy.com Enjoy ;-) credits released 19 October 2013- News: Ron Littlejohn & The Funk Embassy - Shining On

Cheers, Mark R- Essential 12"s
Best cut isn't on the vinyl LP though! Cheers, Mark R- New Northern Soul Film Promo
Why has the link been removed to the NS film trailer been removed? How bloody frustrating......I was just going to show someone..........is it a secret or something? Cheers, Mark R- New Northern Soul Film Promo
That looks great......look forward to seeing that! Cheers, Mark R- Poll: Bbc Culture Show - Northern Soul - Your Take ?
If it has legs, do you provide bicycle clips too? Cheers, Mark R- Richard Searling Interview
Sorry if it's been done before, but this was new to me and I found it very interesting. ...... https://www.newuntouchables.com/nutsmag/richard-searling-hey-mr-dj/ Found it on the back of this week's Culture Show as it got me looking for such things. Cheers, Mark R- Poll: Bbc Culture Show - Northern Soul - Your Take ?
Sowerby Bridge to be precise Mr. G.......I used the address enough times to remember! LOL Only when I used 'em it was for zoots & pegs......the "40's" as the guys around here used to call them were largely a thing of the past thankfully! Cheers, Mark R- Poll: Bbc Culture Show - Northern Soul - Your Take ?
Best of its kind I've seen 4/5 Cheers, Mark R- R Kelly......share My Love...12Inch
I can imagine how cross you were Steve, as i know how bemused I was when i turned up at an all nighter modern room to find only one CD player...........at least I had one! I explained to the guy that if it's a modern room it needed CD players. What I find quite frightening is that clearly some people just don't understand that there's any form of soul music outside of rare soul/vinyl etc. In fairness there's a proportion of modern fans who don't see anything other than their take on it too.........in fact, I get frustrated by modern fans who take a swipe at the rare soul scene when they have never been part of it or understand it. I like to think I understand a bit about the mechanisms of both scenes........and the associated vaugaries of each!! LOL Cheers, Mark R- Mary Love Comer-Co-Love Caught Up
Hi Ady, Of relevance I guess. I remember this from time of release but had completely forgotten about it until I stumbled across it this morning whilst trawling for new music at this site. Not sure what it's like but thought if would be useful to post in the interests of completeness re Mary's more contemporary output: https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bradfordcomer Cheers, Mark R- R Kelly......share My Love...12Inch
You really are hilarious. Take a look at some of your own contributions before critiscising me for forthright opinions! I hadn't even seen your podcasts, and I'll be the judge of how soulful they are if I get around to listening to them thanks very much. It's F all to to with liking the same music as me, it's just an observation that you appear to be a NS fan, not a soul fan......would you disagree with that? Let people use whatever format they like, but can you really NOT see the irony and bigotry in the "original format" stance )understandably) strongly preferred by members here and the cutting of a track ORIGINALLY released on CD only, onto vinyl to play out........tell me that's not hard to understand. Can you tell me that makes sense? It's contradictory - fact. It's as simple as that really. Cheers, Mark R- Mary Love Comer-Co-Love Caught Up
There you go Ady...... https://www.discogs.com/artist/Mary+Love-Comer Cheers, Mark R- R Kelly......share My Love...12Inch
I will NEVER understand for the life of me.......I buy/play/collect music that I like, be it 7", 12", CD, MP3. Surely it's about the music you like, not a format? I love vinyl, but it's bizarre to just limit yourself basrd on a format.......I sorry, I don't want an argument and don't want to sound like I disrespect others opinions, but I find that kind of thing incredulous. Some of you come at this from a completely different angle to me..... . Cheers, Mark R- R Kelly......share My Love...12Inch
If that was aimed at mey Sam post Barry, I remind you I said "make of this what you will.........." In other words I was stating what I know, not passing an opinion on it. Cheers, Mark R- R Kelly......share My Love...12Inch
To be fair Pete, and make of this what you will, Sam would tell you it's more to do with a fear of technology, though clearly he does prefer vinyl anyway. It is my understanding that his Manifesto columns are hand-written, which tells you all you need to know in that respect...........who else would hand write that kind of thing nowdays!!
