RIP Solomon Burke... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6WBnT0IopY

Very sad news. RIP Mr Burke.x

RIP Mr S.... a true love walrus with 21 children and 90 grandchildren

So long Big Man......R.I.P.

I just heard this on BBC TV too. Solomon was larger than life in personality and physique and a superb soul singer. Active until the end (he was coming to Europe to play shows in Amsterdam) he will be missed but will leave happy memories behind him. ''Got To Get You Off My Mind' was one of the first soul singles I ever heard on the radio and I still have my Atlantic copy.

Hello Kev, You can buy direct, just email me for details: info@selectarecords.com Copies are also stocked by the usual outlets such as Crazy Beat, Voices, Simply Soul, Hall of Fame, Steve's Soul Sounds and others. They're also available from Record Shack (Austria) and Disk Union (Japan). Release date is Monday but most outlets already have stock. Best wishes, Paul

Rights??? when did that bother some people!!!lol T.C

Sadly I don't have rights to any Eddie Hinton masters, just publishing rights to a few of his songs. The next two Shotgun 45s aren't previously unissued things. Both will be out in November. Paul

Paul---just listened (for the first time) to all 4 sides thru Headphones ------absolutely crystal clear lyrics and backing ---brilliant!! Well worth the wait(honest!!) Next some unreleased Eddie Hinton!!!!! T.C

Hello Malc, It's the Memphis Horns, Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love. The backing vocals are by Jewel Bass, Valerie Kashimua and a girl called Cheryl. The rhythm section featured James Robertson on drums, Ray Griffin on bass and Carson Whitsett on keyboards. Carson passed away not very long ago. Paul

Ah, I'm gonna miss those weekly emails, Tony. ...unless you start emailing me to ask when SHOT 105 and SHOT 106 are coming out.

Great to see these Paul(finally!!) i can stop sending you the weekly e-mail now Great qaulity as well ,put mine to one side!! T.C

A round of applause is well deserved Paul Love the SD sides , but the EF is something else ...... the horns and the female backing on " MY " are excellent . Malc

I'm thrilled with these two comments on facebook... EDDIE HUBBARD: "Probably the best new release of this or any other year, what an incredible double headed gem" ROD DEARLOVE: "These are the best 2 45s issued this year"

Some quality soul music there me owd fruity

Hello Andy, They will be available via the usual outlets from Monday but you can also buy direct from SELREC if you want. I'll put a paypal link on the website. Meanwhile, just email me at: info@selectarecords.com for a copy. Best wishes, Paul

Thanks Tomo, The stock has arrived now so my office is full of boxes. The quality is excellent, they're probably the best 45s I've ever mastered / pressed. Pop in for a cuppa.

Very nice indeed Paul great double sider this one and the Sam Dees also good luck mate...will be buying these, can you order them now from your site? Andy Mann

Out on Monday, October 11th... EDDIE FLOYD: Missing You / You Must Have Been Dreaming Shotgun SHOT 104

...I said - and I quote - 'John Legend's not much of a singer' , Couldn't have made myself any clearer really. His modest vocal abilities would never have cut it in the company of those whose songs he's reinpterpreting for this project. And I'm basing that assesment on having seen him live, as well as having heard most if not all of his records.

BTW, the artwork is absolutely fantastic!

Nice idea - shame John Legend's not much of a singer, really.....

Thanks, Mike. John Legend and The Roots are personal faves. This sure looks like a must have. BTW, I'm glad none of the tunes are on my wants list. I'd imagine originals might go up in price after this...

Looks a good one here,always liked the roots band
