Two great slabs of 70`s perfection imho............ Nice work Phil & thanks for the info on the recordings

Hi Mart Dont think it was aimed at you in particular ...."The Bubble" imo seems to refer to those of us who live in the insular world that is soulsource..thus meaning there is a whole world outside of here ,where there are lots of soul fans who don't care what we think and will rush out and buy these regardless of what we think! Other than that i am clueless as to what "netspeaker " is talking about Using "motown" constantly re-issuing mainstream music ,or the beatles etc as a reference to why predominantly "northern soul" records are being re....re..re-issued is absolutely ridiculous imho! Motown ,beatles ,Michael Jackson,Elvis etc etc,do it for one reason .......to make money ,to try and squeeze as much money as possible out of joe public and will keep doing so until it is no longer viable .....on the other hand i imagine Richard does it for the love of a scene that he's been invloved in most of his life ,and feels passionate enough to give something back to the people who have appreciated him for all those yrs.....something that he's proud of and hopes people will treasure . But im sure if it was'nt financially viable ,he would think twice?? And that is the only thing people on here have questioned not the legality of what he is doing or if anyone is getting any royalties ,thats nothing to do with anyone other than Richard and anyone connected to the project. Good luck is all i can say ,im not a business man ,just cannot understand why re-issue things that have been re-issued to death ??.

Sometime in the summer would be a better time for a show like this.... the weather would be more pleasing, to say the least.... it's 5 degrees Fahrenheit right now, not very pleasing at all.

Spoke to Maria and Carl Willingham in the week and they are putting the final touches to their line-up on the Saturday Night for their room I'm sure they will post the details when finalised Don't forget to check their room out in its new location next to the Main Arena it's sure to be oozing quality

God here we go again, the bubble of soul-source Why do you think Motown re-issue tracks over and over again, or Elvis or the Beatles, Abba the list goes on and on, it's because they sell, not everyone is a collector they buy them, hammer them for a period of time then forget about them add lost, binned, and sold to that list and then when presented with them again a few years down the line, buy them again, especially if presented in a nice bight attractive format at the right price. Also Pop collectors/customers I know buy every version of a track they can get there hands on, another reason why re-issues SELL.

Have to agree - where's my whip...

REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, will be there to support Shorny and Karl and to meet up with good mates oh and toby and coggy
