    This sounds like a great project. Given you're updating the technology could you incorporate Bluetooth so that the user can just hear the sound via Bluetooth headphones? Lots of settings where no matter how good the speakers are, us oldies with failing hearing might struggle to hear the record!

    Heard the news driving back from Wales this afternoon. Radio 4's 6pm news broadcast; very decent coverage for a great man who gave us so much wonderful music.
  3. I've found this thread fascinating - thanks for starting it Scotters and to everyone who's contributed. I was particularly taken by the Colemine record by Jr Thomas and the Volcanos (What a shame) and got it in the post today from Rook Records. Can I just ask where you all tend to shop for yours, if you have any sellers you'd recommend who are likely to stock a reasonable range as shown in this thread, and ideally who would have samples to listen to?
  4. My first visit to New York staying with my cousin in East Village on 2nd Avenue. This was Summer 2002, and a couple of blocks up from her was a record and vintage shop called Wowsville. Browsing the racks the first record I came across was Alfie Davison 'Love is a serious business' - all of $1. The guys running the shop put on very enjoyable soul and '60s nights not far away on Avenue A, mainly aimed at the retro scene as opposed to full on Northern.
  5. And on the flip side of course - Raindeer Walk:
  6. Got this in the post a couple of days ago from a friend who always compiles Christmas themed CDs; this time he's brought the occasional Soul related tracks he's put on them all into one useful CD!
  7. Rubberband man I thought.
  8. My cousin just told me about this showing at the ICA 8 - 14 December: Sidemen. Looks a lot like '20 Feet from Stardom' and 'Standing in the Shadows'.
  9. Gordon Bennett. Skimmed through the comments and I thought maybe it was a bit of a harsh reaction, but then I went back and watched the trailer/clip that started the thread. other than their use of the two words, "Northern" and "Soul" I cannot for the life of me see what the connection with our scene is.
  10. Banbury Soul Club ender tends to up the ante rather than ease you out... But in a way, it's all about the tradition isn't it? Slow, Big City, Jamaican, R&B, Funk, I'm just listing now; basically there's some great music out there, and we can all widen our interests through the focus of Northern Soul. That's why I love Northern - because there are times when you just can't explain to someone what Northern Soul is!
  11. 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
  12. Seano replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Cheers for this, not a bad collection at all!
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Thanks for posting Steve. I take John's point but happy enough with this and I've placed an order.
  16. 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.
  17. Images added to a gallery album owned by Seano in Albums 2017
    New Sunday Soul afternoon event playing modern soul, jazz and generally aiming for a laid back session of great music in Banbury at the V Lounge.
  18. 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.
  19. 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:

  21. Oops- many thanks for the correction!
  22. 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:
  23. 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.
  24. 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!).
