Seano

Wow! Love the little details too, like the bike in the background - was that his? I visited Teaneck once around 2008ish and as you say, it seemed a pretty reasonable area.

Thanks for this CD Sean and all involved. Had several listens through now and it's a great compilation, along with a very informative booklet. The track by Bobby Burn 'I'm a lonely man' on Chant - you refer to a subsequent issue on Gamble where he's named as Bobby Wilburn. Assuming that both of those are the same recording, is there another version of this tune? I'm sure I've heard a slightly different one, maybe on a CD a friend put together and gave me, or is it just my ageing ears?! Great CD anyway, loving this.

Yay! Got home this evening to find the CD had been dropped through the door. Looking forward to listening to it and reading the comprehensive 23 page booklet. With all the threads covering OVO, downloads etc Kent keep pushing the value of the CD purchase. A Kent CD always gives me a similar glow to buying a 45 (reading the details that might be listed on each side of the disc), or an album, though to be honest I never quite developed the same love of albums as of 45s. Hope those of you who bought this CD enjoy it as much as I'm expecting to.....

Really sorry but I can't see how to add this to the existing thread. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46917940 As far as I can see these are the nominations: Green Book Oscar nominations 2019 - Best picture Best actor (Viggo Mortensen) Best Supporting Actor (Mahershala Ali) Best Film Editing Sadly, there doesn't appear to be one for "best soundtrack' - but having not seen it yet I don't know how good it is - all points towards something very good and authentic for the time.

Really useful thanks Chalky. Puts me in mind of the art world with things like screen prints and lithographs that eventually deliver inferior issues of the master, and nowadays digital options like giclee which are high quality reproductions of the 'master', but which could have a re-run if demand was there that was identical to the first run of whatever the artist thought they could sell.

Sorry to hear this. One of the Soul pack records I was very pleased to keep from back in the day: Probably a candidate for the "Blurred Line" thread too.

I thought the sound quality was excellent. The label also fine, just black on a silver/grey background. Outer edge of label very smooth, the inner edge just a tiny bit puckered. Vinyl surface immaculate. Plain white paper sleeve.

That's the case for me certainly, and as mentioned before, I've no problem with digital formats as well, I just have an enjoyment of putting a 45 on the deck now and again and sitting back to listen. Plus of course many records have label designs that add a lot to the pleasure, sometimes for the quality of design and often as not, not, but they all give that little extra.

Fairytale end to the story for me. The incredibly generous @reforee got in touch and was able to get me the spare copy he bought for a friend who turned out to have already bought one anyway. @Eddie Hubbard was DJing in Newark on Sunday and Dave passed the record via Ed who has kindly delivered it to me earlier this evening. Love Soul Source - thanks guys, what a great forum!

Terrific news from the Golden Globes Frank! The film scored 3 winners: Mahershala Ali for Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Music or Comedy Motion Picture Screenplay of a Motion Picture and along with that two nominees: Viggo Mortensen for Actor in a Musical of Comedy Film Peter Farrelly for Director of a Motion Picture Can't wait to see this film. Any new on the Winter/Spring compilations you refer to and maybe for a special 45 release of an unreleased track from the compilations?

Checking out your photos on Flickr reminded me that I'd taken a bunch that night and the next morning too. Nothing like as good as yours unfortunately, but here you go:

Hi Chalky, nice posting and it took me to your Flickr album of the event. Excellent photos, and I do like the one of Eddie Hubbard with Fred Bridges at the end.

Yes it was a tremendous performance, a good bunch of the Banbury soul crowd came along and I know Roger Saint, who worked with you on this, was equally proud of the event!

That's a powerful demonstration of the value of increasing the initial order.

Amazing to think of ordering your own discs here! It all adds up of course, and I haven't got a musical bone in my body, but we can all dream!

True, volume brings prices down, the thing is trying to second guess whether you'll ever sell the larger quantity. Great if all goes well and you've got the extra stock, but if not what do you do with them - people don't like buying at full price to then find you shift the remainder at a lot less!

I was thinking this myself, but I do get that trepidation about pressing more than you can sell - my wife constantly juggles this with prints or cards featuring paintings she's done.

I got the Juno alert too, sadly it got to my email at 4.07, but by the time I'd got home just now and checked email it was too late. I tried the link and phoned through - the guy told me they'd sold all 20 pretty much straight away. Would have been nice for the 'Feel Good Friday' feeling, but hopefully others of you were more lucky / quicker off the mark.

Agreed Mark. I'm very attached to my 45s, so was hoping this would make it to vinyl. But as an original download I'd have no problem hearing this played out as a digital file. I presume the only reason it's made it to a single release is because of feedback from downloads and being included on the Expansion compilation.

Sounds like you got in just in time - nice one!

I only checked on their links given via EE&S Facebook posting. Rough Trade had nothing via a search, Northern Lights just had a phone number (website photos look good and I like the name!) which I haven't followed up, and A1 took me to Instagram and then an unavailable website.

Hadn't meant for this to shift towards a debate around OVO. Really appreciate all the tips around trying to get hold of it. Like Scootboy, I prefer to get hold of 45s, and as this is a legitimate release direct from the band / label then I don't have a problem with that. The band and their distributors will get their take and not a bootlegger; that, to me, is the crucial difference we ought to be concerned with. I've tried the US links posted on Ernest Ernie & the Sincerities Facebook page but no joy at Rough Trade NYC, nor Northern Lights and A1 Records. Dusty Groove had just sold out, so I've contacted the band directly.

Thanks Rob, sorry to hear it's confirmed, but good that he was aware of the interest in his work.

Thanks all, guess I missed the boat.

Having thought this was great when I saw it referenced on another thread here on Soul Source, I was hoping to hear of a 7" release. I'd commented on the official video thread on YouTube and having just looked in noticed I'd had a reply from David Pinches to say it had now come out a few days ago. Gutted to discover that I can't find it in stock anywhere - anyone got any knowledge of where I can try? Meanwhile, just because it's so good, here's the link again to the tune:
