if you were unable to get the first two singles, you might be interested to know there's going to be an album on the way. and if you want the tracks digitally for now, its your lucky day ................. "After two successful singles, Benjamin Pirani is working on a full-length so we are proud to present his digital EP "Dreamin's For Free" while he finishes up his LP. Super sweet, super catchy Northern Soul is the order of the day for our boy Benji!" https://www.coleminerecords.com/collections/store/products/b-benjamin-pirani-b-br-i-dreamins-for-free-i-br-digital-ep

"Hutson, long revered on the soul scene for his production, songwriting and perfromace skills, was Curtis Mayfield’s heir apparent chosen by the great man, to replace him in the Impressions, and then groomed for an extensive solo career on Curtis' own label, Curtom. The Hutson catalogue has not been available on any format for nearly two decades. The label will be working with Leroy and his team to create the definitive sounding masters, and unearthing lost gems from his extensive archive. First out of the traps is a double sided limited edition 45 containing two previously unreleased Hutson gems. The A-side is a previously unreleased 1977 recording, which is making its debut on this single. It is coupled with the unreleased full length instrumental of ‘All Because Of You’. This will be given it debut on Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio 6 show tomorrow. This single will be strictly limited and is sure to be the soul scene’s sound of the summer." "Acid Jazz has pulled off something of a coup here by persuading legendary '70s soul man Leroy Huston to part with a couple of previously unreleased cuts. A-side "Positive Forces" was recorded by Hutson in 1977 and sits somewhere between the sweeping, orchestrated bliss of Philly soul, the soaring dancefloor celebration of disco and the loose-limbed instrumental goodness of jazz-funk. It's an absolute stunner, all told, and sounds like it was tailor-made for spins at sweltering summer festivals. On the B-side you'll find a previously unreleased instrumental version of 1975's "All Because of You". While a vocal-free version has previously been released, this particular mix includes a little more drum action at the beginning to assist with mixing." https://www.juno.co.uk/products/leroy-hutson-positive-forces/653294-01/

"A limited edition of 1000 copies, headlined by a recently-discovered alternate take of James’ big Northern Soul floor filler, ‘A Losing Game.’ " this track is great, and along with the other tracks is great value, a must buy, lovely stuff
interesting thought, even in the eighties i thought "mods" wore parkas, the odd few in mac's. but thats the first time i've seen so many in macs such as those. was this a London style, or national, as i don't remember see many dressed like this in Derby in the eighties. must of passed me by that one.
nice, very nice indeed. i'll be having a bit of that
top drawer the pair of them, a great addition to anyone's collection. highly recommend
Merry Christmas to everyone

nice one Glyn, thanks for the heads up lovely stuff alan https://cratesofsoulrecordlabel.bandcamp.com/album/out-now-limited-edition-7-vinyl
Paul, is this the mix/edit thats around 3.30?, (as opposed to the rev p edit closer to 10 mins long), or is there another?
"And then there's the money factor. How many re-edits issued on vinyl have paid licensing royalties to record companies or producers and / or mechanical royalties to publishers and songwriters? In some cases that may be the final insult." in a scene were individuals make more money out of selling old records for sometimes silly sums of money, where the original artists were probably never paid, or at best a pittance? If one person buys an edit, then goes on to buy a legitimate purchase of the artist, their legacy may live on, the edit scene might do more for the soul scene, than it will to harm it. IMHO
And if folk don't like this, i think this discussion of re-edits is being made in the wrong place...............................................
According to this there still available, though not for long i suspect................. https://tramprecords.bandcamp.com/album/ltd-edition-7-john-harris-and-the-soul-sayers
