As a modern souler, as you might imagine I have oodles of 'em. Not sure about on the way out or not, but my biggest concern at the moment is for all those obscure indie titles I have that are basically CD-R's which have a limited shelf life compared to pressed up CD's. I'm concious that I really need to get these onto the PC but with a busy "normal" life I just struggle to find the time for it. I know of at least one CD (Max Flava - the Troutman's etc) that just no longer plays and I've tried recovery software on it! Beware! Cheers, Mark R

I've got a VHS with this on..............in fact, I've got most of these things on VHS, but they're not labelled so I can't find 'em.........and have nowt to play 'em on if I did!! Cheers, Mark R

Cheers Gilly.........that's a nice early recording then.......and I know what you mean about mic work......I listened yesterday to a thing on Podomatic of him live at Butlers Wine Bar (London?) and it's like listening to him now............."Let's have you"........."get on that floor" etc. I'm surprised no-one has come back with a link to that late live Wigan recording though. Cheers, Mark R

All, I'm hopeless at using the search on here......dunno why! Anyway, ahead of the old boys birthday celebrations, I'm looking for any old live recordings of Sam......I particularly recall a late Wigan one where I think he plays Prince Phillip Mitchell for the first time there. Are there any Stafford's??......Rock City??...........etc, etc If anyone can point me at any such recordings I'd be most grateful..........just fancy a topical trip down memory lane! If this should be in Refosoul as the replies come back, feel free to move it mod's, and sorry in advance! Cheers, Mark R
