Happy New Year my friend. I hope you and yours are very well. I'm still learning after all these years - I might not have seen you for a while, but keep picking up on the tips and podcasts! You're a top soul man and a gentleman Sir. Peter

Not sure about Mecca Barry - I'm a young lad! Clifton Hall and Cleethorpes? it's a good un anyway. That has to be the same label as I wonder why the Midsong and Midland? Tyrone is definitely Clifton Hall and Cleethorpes - probably latter wigan too. Love it. Peter

Toon! Peter

Bless you Barry. Happy New Year bud. Seems like a thousand years! Peter

Blimey - used to listen to this thinking 2001 sounded like something from space age times. And it's now almost 2013! Where have the years gone - have we spent them wisely. Personally, I've f*cked up big style. 2013 - gonna get myself together, sho nuff now together, you can bet your bottom dollar it's together. Peter

What a sad story. I'm sorry to have learned of you and your families loss. I hope he surprises everyone and walks through a door someday. Peter

Yep. That looks good to me mate. I'll have a go at that tomorrow. Thanks Peter

Awesome dance track this Kev. it was after the Mecca that I picked up on it - early 80's. Peter

One on discogs now mate. https://www.discogs.com/Charles-Wright-The-Watts-103rd-St-Rhythm-Band-The-Joker-On-A-Trip-Thru-The-Jungle-Brown-Sugar/release/3635035 Peter

Snap!

There's some nice tunes there Jim. I'll have to have a think. No modern category? Peter

That made me laugh Smiffy. All is well with the world, like. Peter

Think we've done that one to death Richard. Peter

Oh Pete, stop being so pedantic - you can be so contrary at times. I was merely stating that I have my personal list and some of those would be records that others didn't like too - I know we have quite a few in common. There I've spelled it out for you. Peter

I've missed the boat on this thread cos it's too long now to check whats been said. I have my own personal list of dog turd records - I'm sure some have been posted. Johnny Come Lately P

Very interesting Chalky. Cheers Peter

Well done Chalky - very interesting read. Peter

Says who? It's all about opinion isn't it. Peter

Maybe not one for you Pete? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7S5GmBM6_g I'm not so sure I like it. Peter

Cheers Pete

Does anyone know what the red releases were? Can't make out the wording on the image above. Cheers Peter

Nice bunch of records all round mate. Peter

Greater Experience is a fabulous oldie - always loved it. Peter

Of course people were dancing to plenty of shit - encouraged in the main by decent gear. Not everyone though eh, and too easy and to blame "the divs" .

You can be argumentative Barry - just need to be clear about what we're arguing about. If anything. I just like good soul music - where ever it comes from, and by whom really. Old stuff, new stuff, retro stuff - if I can feel it it's good. Another example - bit old now, is the Chocolate Factory album. Is there a bad track on there - wonderful soul music, which I'm pleased to have bought and bought into at the time. Maybe a bad example for a more up to date geezer like yer sen. P
