Thanks for this Mike, a great artist and good to hear he got a grammy too. I like that lyric they quote: One day you’ll wake up To a world of regret All the things you can’t remember I’m still trying to forget

Cheers for this, not a bad collection at all!

My copy has the FP 411B on the side labelled 'The Cat Walk' along with the Bell Sound stamp, the B is not crossed out. The track is the same one that Rick Cooper posted with the jingling bells in the opening. On the Kent CD 'Fatback's Soul Shop', the 2nd track is titled 'The Cat Walk' and is the same track with the jingling bells in the opening.

Just received mine today. Very nicely presented and the fold out 'sleeve notes' are a great addition. What I wasn't expecting was the poster that came with the box set - thanks very much guys! I know the tracks are known but it's a very good drawing together of some very good music. The download link worked a treat too.

Thanks for posting Steve. I take John's point but happy enough with this and I've placed an order.

I only caught the last part of this first episode but it looks great. I'm looking forward to the next ones and hope to record the series when it comes by again.

Totally agree, 'There You Are' is a great track. Not sure if things changed on release for the issue in the States, but on the demo I have it's the flip (again) to 'Bad Risk'. UK and USA both from 1976. 'House for Sale' has always had a place in my heart from when I lived in Deptford in the early '80s and got burgled. Sods took my music centre (remember those?) and stupidly I'd left my UK copy of 'House for Sale' on the deck, but even worse, a tape from Wigan. The insurance people were remarkably generous on the record but felt that the tape had no value whatsoever.

Interesting thread, sorry to head off the main point of the single, just thought some people might like to see the video with Keb, and I presume Sue, in short clips within the overall video:

Oops- many thanks for the correction!

You need to subscribe to this guy's YouTube channel. Ian Whittington. All very cool videos with sublime crossover tracks (probably wrong description, but that's more or less where I'd reference it talking to people) . Really worth a delve into his archive if you've not seen his other uploads; various socially conscious style retro footage, plenty of West coast low rider scene stuff including lots of tattooed and face-painted 'Day of The Dead' style female studies. Although I hesitate to say, it (as the visuals are fairly in-your-face and it's not even OVO) I just love the verve displayed in his video for Joe 'Jama' Perales "My Life" 2001 version:

A proud musical and cultural legacy, and it sounds as though her wider impact on disadvantaged children was probably just as important. Despite having heard Bill Cosby's 'Little Old Man' I'd never realised he co-wrote the earlier Stevie Wonder track, 'Uptight' (that has the same backing track) with Sylvia Moy.

Always loved the atmosphere the clapping created, totally recognise the tailing off of its popularity, but it does still hang on, and for me is one of the things I can still contribute to, never having been much good at spins, and with stamina and knees not what they once were! I take the point made earlier in the thread about claps that might come out of the blue from someone dancing near you, but maybe that's a personal response to how the record takes you, can't say it's ever spoiled things for me (but maybe it was me doing it!).

Friend of mine has just sent me this link to a website who will make a bespoke piece of art for your wall: https://www.snapgalleries.com/portfolio-items/welcome-to-the-temple-of-wax/ Personally I like the unframed option, but they all look pretty good. Back in mid-february I also saw this in Sister Ray in Berwick st in London, another approach to enlarged art for the wall:

How strange - only this weekend I've been listening through to 3 CDs I bought at Glasgow airport years back issued by Charly: Chicago Twine Time (Mar-V-Lus), Chicago Soul Cellar (m-pac!) and Windy City Soul (One-derful!). All terrific compilations from 1998 with great booklets.

Clip about halfway into the programme, but thankfully not chopped in and out of the rest of the programme. Thanks for posting this, great that they got Ivor Abadi talking on film about it too. Did they feature any vinyl in the rest of the programme?

Hi Mike, like the idea of this thread. I've posted 2 new albums in the photos section related to this: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/gallery/category/42-scans-single/ And here's a painting by a guy called Martin Grover who exhibited in Oxford a few years ago, along with the text from the flyer:

I hope people are able to pass on everyone's respects to his family, and to Tommy himself if he's still holding on (not clear on the thread?), and for me, stand out track is this one:

There was also a terrific 2 CD plus 1 DVD small box released in 2007 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stax, produced and compiled by Cheryl Pawelski and Rob Bowman. The DVD is 'Respect Yourself, The Stax Records Story' - really good, runtime 1 hour and 54 minutes. Favourite track on the 2 CDs for me is The Emotions, 'So I can love you.'

Looks interesting thanks for this. I remember Eddie Hubbard talking about a person (or perhaps couple of people) doing an academic piece about Northern Soul and asking people to contribute. Maybe it was this? Anyway, got it bookmarked now.

Yes as others have replied, pre-ordered it via Amazon. Thanks to the good people here on Soul Source alerting us to it being announced for release.

Yes I agree, can't imagine it's due to disappointment!
