Ian, you've posed some very fair questions mate..........particularly about the unreleased stuff!! Cheers, Mark R

Great story on this 45......sure we've talked about this before..............but this was an early incarnation of Jimmy Jam (of Jam & Lewis fame).......MEGA 80's/90's producer.......note the credits...........written by James Harris III (aka Jimmy Jam). Love stories like that! A record I thought I would never own..............now nestling nicely Cheers, Mark R

Always have these problems..........still waiting for October ish, but have November's from same subscription(?).........anyway, spoke to Paul Phillips last week, so you won't be the first to ring up bending his ear about this. Of course, it's not really Paul's problem, but he should "know a man that can", so to speak. I did however point out to him that it doesn't help their cause if folk who are potentially going to pay for ad's in there don't get their magazines on time!!!! Wrong signals and all that! Cheers, Mark R

Steve, I've only just got around to tracking my Floyd Taylor CD, and to be honest mate, the whole thing sounded bloody class to me!! Of course, I can see the particular appeal of "Sweet Love" to the modern crowd.....tune! Cheers, Mark R

Fookin' superb................ https://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/287833...ust%204%20house Not sure where you sit on this kinda stuff Russ, but this is great IMHO, having a great 80's boogie feel. Cheers, Mark R

I second that Steve..............great set!! Cheers, Mark R

Ya bugger Murraymint..............I'd recognise my year end chart anywhere!! Cheers, Mark R

Didn't we have an extensive thread about these guys some months ago?............alll the info's in there, but it will take someone better than I to find that thread!!! Cheers, Mark R

Got that Mart, thanks............may well see you tomorrow! Cheers, Mark R

Could some kind soul PM me a mobile number for Rob please...............it went missing with my old phone TIA, Mark R

Sorry to any regular listeners who were expecting to hear a show at the end of September. Just an advance heads up that normal service resumes with the next installment on Friday 26th October 9-11pm.......www.starpointradio.com. Hope some of you can join me. Cheers, Mark R

Love your posts Jock..........they must take a while (especially with a hangover), but they are always worth it mate! Absoultely spot on...........give that man another Resolve!! Cheers, Mark R

I think you're right Chalky..........an overused word and a derogatory term for anything that's not 60's or Northern. I have a tape somewhere of a Hinckley All Nighter in 1983, where a well known oldies DJ plays Jackie Moore "This Time Baby" (an all time classic, of course) and says something like, "The question is where do you draw the line betweeen disco crap and Northern Soul.........." and goes on to to say it can't be disco crap 'cos disco crap gets in the charts!! Cheers, Mark R

This is exactly how I think it should be.........whilst MODERN should mean new, in the UK it's taken a different meaning altogether. Unless a similar legacy is left which twists the definition of CONTEMPORARY, I think this is exactly the right description of the music I'm into. Cheers, Mark R

I would say, though we're generalising a bit here, you're pretty much right there Dave............it is my experience, in general, that fans of, let's say "older soul" are far less tolerant of new stuff than is the case for the reverse situation. Cheers, Mark R

That's a pretty good post..........but you're wasting your valuable time here mate, I think. I have an old compo tape in the car at the moment that I made up some years ago from new releases at the time, and back to back on that tape are Yukihiro Fukutomi "Love Each Other" and Stan Mosley's "Kiss and Tell"............both modern (as in around 5 years old) but both very different in style (1 house and 1 southern soul), but they're equally brilliant because they both have "IT". As you say, made for a different generation, with different technology, but in some cases by the same people...........people are free to decide what they like, but you can't deny this stuff it's place. Cheers, Mark R

Just a quick heads up guys that, for personal reasons, unfortunately there will be no show this month...........normal service to be resumed in October. Spoke to Starpoint today, and they said they would re-run a previous show of mine, so for those that may have missed one, it's 9-11pm this Friday 28th September at www.starpointradio.com Thanks and apologies to those that listen. Cheers, Mark R

Sorry to go off the Mel Waiters topic Sean, but I recently put one of my compo tapes on in the car that I knocked up a few years ago, and Stan Mosley's "Kiss & Tell" is on it.............sounds foookin' superb and needs to find its way back into my playbox I think!! Back to Mel, and I love his "Running Stop Lights" too, which was the killer cut from one of his albums, but can't recall which one at present. Good stuff! Cheers, Mark R
