Dylan

Love this Arthur recently included it on his spot on deans radio show and told the story.

Exactly and that’s not a name mentioned in connection to the wheel but he may have attended ?

The people being discussed here must be quite old now so probably out less often ? mid 70s or older at a guess ? who is the oldest person still active on the scene ?

Some key players from New Orleans had a huge influence on the cities output and Soul music overall. Eddie Bo, alan Toussaint.

and fantastic cover version which I heard first and probably prefer

Classic deep soul love how the musicians never over power the vocal and really work to carry it.

Not an individual record as such but muscle shoals / fame as a sound and a group of musicians were a huge influence

Currently on season 3 of the bear on disney seasons 1 and 2 were superb so hoping for more of the same The x-mas meal near end of season 2 being the best episode so far. So intense.

This is what I was thinking of

It’s not this one. I’ll dig through my CD’s tomorrow to find it and post it up.

Gaz you must know the tune where the female vocalist repeat cascara ? can’t remember much else but it’s an upbeat dancer..

Classic track that got a reissue

Still hugely influential though and has lots of versions And then also other titles :- funky 4 corners, Harlem rumble, ton of dynamite etc In terms of influence the amen break pretty much created a whole genre in drum and bass so that’s hugely influential

so many versions of this song. Probably the most copied song I know.

It’s fantastic a personal all time favourite.

That last quote box in the first post is thoughts by innersouls. superb record. tried to grab the quote but failed.

Essex iv “my heart just can’t take it” natural impulse “she went away” Seville “show me the way” personal faves along with flowers already mentioned. There other is also worth a mention. never really liked modern when I first got into soul and northern but listen to it a lot now.

That sounds perfect 😆

That’s what I’m after but I might just squeeze one turntable on a very small cabinet next to the sofa in the corner. i wax also considering some kind of table in middle of room with a lift up lid that comes off to reveal turntable. That way it’s hidden when not in use. https://www.homefurniturecentre.com/hifi-stands/hampshire-turntable-stand-walnut.html?cpgn=8&utm_source=products-adds&utm_campaign=Hampshire Turntable Stand- Walnut&gcampaignid=17796692793&gadgroupid=&gkeyword=&gdevice=m&ggtarget=&gmatch=&gurl=https://www.homefurniturecentre.com/hifi-stands/hampshire-turntable-stand-walnut.html%3Fcpgn%3D8%26utm_source%3Dproducts-adds%26utm_campaign%3DHampshire%20Turntable%20Stand-%20Walnut&gnetwork=x&gplace=&gposition=&gcampaign=PMAX_Furniture&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoOKLideIhwMVuo5QBh1pMwxWEAQYAyABEgI83fD_BwE

This thread has got me wanting a turntable set up again. Currently in storage under a bed as I need to buy amp and speakers last lot died. And a mixer or pre amp as well..

Yes although I like more modern dance music I wouldn’t want to hear it at a northern or rare soul night it’s not right IMO. time and a place indeed.

That’s much more like it got to agree with geese that bass is fantastic. Photek made some quality electronic music if you like that kind of thing. as for the original post a poor record really.

I’m not so sure you would have to lean over tone arm to adjust the pitch. I never saw any house dj’s set up like this for mixing I think it would be more difficult. they would have them normal way with arm at side.

👍 yes

That’s how hip-hop dj’s have their turntables
