Festival Time vocal
Dayo, This was booted in the eighties and as davidwapples states, it is on the slowfizz label. I think all of the boots stated that it was a promo copy. It was played out at scooter rallies round about the time of Marsha Gees "Peanut Duck". It does still turn a few heads when played as most peoples reactions are "what the hells goin on here" Should be plenty of copies lying about, especially from scooterists from the 80's Haydn

like british films?
Mischief, Yeah seen that film ages ago and told a few mates about it myself. Quite strange with the fat bloke jumping about painted with very little in the way of clothes on but good to see Sir Edwin giving it a debut. Nice to see a dig at producers and music promoters giving it large on mixing traditional Northern with modern dance music. Always remember the guy going in to the hotel and faintly hearing a choon in the background, walking through the doors and pronouncing to the lady dj" Sam Dees Lonely for you baby" for him to be dissed for mixing her fathers(Edwin Starr) choon. When he went back to the do that was in full swing, all these soulies surrounding him before he picked up the groove and found his feet again.You could feel it surge through him, excellent. Get the same buzz when waiting in the queue of shops and a choon comes on wondering who is playing that????? Haydn

Daily St*r Sunday Soul(?) CD
According to the sleeve notes..... "The producers of this CD have paid the "composers"and "publishers for the use(?) of their music." A company called Peoplesound (part of {get this} Buonglomo Vitaminic Group) Peoplesound are a London based company that does mp3s and free downloads, funnily enough > their search toolbar coudn't find any of the tracks on the CD. They seem to be promoters for up and coming bands signing to labels. Nothing on their site about the rare soul scene. The bonus tracks on the CD are made up names with the writer of the song being the artist that sang it , sorry played it, as they are all instrumentals, lame instrumentals. Yes okay it was a "free" CD but the music is worth so much more, this has just cheapened it and nobody in their right mind can find this an apt copy of soul music. It makes it worse to find out that a certain, and i used to think respected DJ, had even anything to do with this, obviously the lure of a bit of gold in a mine means more than the sounds. Help ma Boab!! H.

Daily St*r Sunday Soul(?) CD
What is this all about, I thought the idea of releasing something like this would be encouraging to the folk outside the scene,pah is it hell!!! It will have an adverse effect, they will be running away from us>>>>> Oh it sounds authentic when they put a bit of hiss and a crackle here and there but it is second rate "top of the pops compilation from the 70's" in the Naughties. Still it will have one use- for keeping the birds off my seeds in the garden. I'll get me hoe!!!! Haydn

Bootlegs
Seems to me that Ebay aren't aware about the bootlegs cropping up more often, I know it must be hard for them but it looks like there is still a market for them anyway. Don't get me wrong, in the past i have had the chance to buy a £25 boot as opposed to the original at £225 but the cheapies are still floating around and still picking up a decent price! It is a pity some folks don't look for original first as some originals are still priced better than the boots. H

Who's this?
Yes thats it Kolla, I was torn between Eartha Kitt and for some strange reason Barbara Randolph came into my head. Leonard & Phil owned Aristocrat label and changed it to Chess in 1949, now that is a long time ago but it sure gives the label the edge on the RnB circuit( we don't want to go there again eh?) Haydn
