It's that time again folks...............back atcha tomorrow night with another helping of the new and recent.......join me Monday 29th June 7-9pm (BST) at www.starpointradio.com Cheers, Mark R

Yup.....I have three Lyfe Jennings albums.....all different ones so far as I'm aware, so I've only got one version of the one that you're saying was reissued!! Cheers, Mark R

Depends what you mean by modern soul!! As many on here might mean it: 3. Motherfox - Fallen Into Love 2. Mind & Matter - I'm Under Your Spell 1. Melvin Moore - All Of A Sudden As I tend to mean it: 3. DJ Man-X & Albert Sterling Menendez feat. Blaze - Consequences (Man-X Sunset Nights Vocal Mix) 2.Teena Marie - Congo Square 1. Lee Fields - The Only One Loving You I'd like to request something off the new Will Downing CD too to make it 4 in that latter set............a difficult choice with so much great stuff around!!!! Cheers, Mark R

This is great stuff.....thanks for posting......this night is slightly before my time all nighter wise, and never made in to Clifton Hall though it was still going when I started going to all nighters. Don't want to detract from the thread, so if someone wants to move this then fine, but on a subject I've touched on before and just find fascinating.................if the NS traditionalists at the time accepted the 70's/80's stuff then (and I know that not not all did), why do those same people shun soulful dance now? What was/is the difference? Surely the sound of these records back then was as far removed from the traditional sound as the step to "soulful dance" is now. What's the difference between Allan Harris and The Muthafunkaz soul content wise? If it was "ahead of its time".....that's a compliment isn't it?......but to some who found this a great thing back then, soulful dance (and I MEAN soulful) is like the anti-christ!! I find this absolutely fascinating............sorry if that's anoraky!!! Hope I've made that clear! Cheers, Mark R

New show goes out tomorrow night folks, Monday 27th April........usual place and time.........7-9pm BST @ www.starpointradio.com. Some really good stuff about across the styles/tempos/formats so check it out!! Cheers, Mark R

Yes.......but what I'm saying is, that's twice on the bounce it's acheved approaching £1k on JM's auction Simon......not a one-off occurence! Cheers, Mark R

Last one on there fetched £961 I think, so somebody wants it!! I always find these things intriguing....the "whys?" I mean............not always easy to work it out is it? For me the key with this item is that it's quite simply one of the best modern soul records ever (IMHO).....lots about, but people don't want to part with it, so I figure I'm not the only one who thinks so. There are many rarer records that fetch a lot more, but they probably pale in comparison to MM......what would you rather pay your $$$'s for??......rarity alone or a bullet of a tune?? Supply and demand. Cheers, Mark R

One way or another, lots of talk about this 45 recently.....both here and EMS.......EMS talk was questioning pressing quality. Must give it a listen again! Cheers, Mark R

Cheers Nick.....glad you enjoyed.......and yes, next show Monday 27th April Cheers, Mark R
