thought I just need to share this, from '83, and on 7" for for the first time, i believe. I know i'll be giving this a few spins Howard University Jazz Ensemble - Genesis b/w To The Rising Sun

cracking stuff fella, your opening my eyes up to things i didn't know nice one

"The Andy Edit tune is definitely a summer tune - have they left it too late release-wise?" I hear you Mickey, I gather its been getting floor play already, and with the plays in the Med, summer can stretch till October. with a lot of these tunes, they'll probably only get heard a few times by folks out, unless they buy it of course. would i pay a tenner to have it on vinyl, probably not, but i'm happy to pay a quid, stick it on a Cdr, and roll it out every summer to fresh ears

just right for summer, lovely vocal.................... Andy Edit ft. Asia Yarwood - Love Again

for me the best compilation so far this year, well done Greg more of this please, lovely stuff

another out on the 5th, blimey.................... Vick Lavender - Chicago Fusion EP

Its going to be a busy 5th August............... D.U.S.K ft. Meshach Broderick - Feels So Good (Ondagroove Remix)

A couple gracing my decks already................. on 7'', taken from the album............................. Gordon Henderson - Highest Bidder and, this beauty.................... Space Echo - Rainbow Power

a short wait till August 5th, and this baby will hit the floors.................... Giulio Bonaccio ft. Karie Brown - Don't Walk Away three great versions

certainly one of my favourite jazz styled tracks of the year................. Moses Boyd - Rye Lane Shuffle

Cheers Chris, Mickey, to start it off i'm gonna give you this..................... Crossroads ft. Natasha Springer - Caught in a dream

As some of you will be aware EMS (Essential Modern Soul) had to close its doors earlier in the year due to a server provider issue, losing years of information is the process. And as it seems it is unlikely to return, i would like to bring a bit of what was lost to arguably the other best the soul forum in the internet world. I know this won't be to everyones taste, i understand that, but to those who like a bit of modern, disco, soulful house, ect., it might go someway to fill the gap where EMS is sadly missed. i would ask all those who posted podcasts there to pop them in here as well, along with weekly traxsource charts (Mark, please), soul charts (Gary) so we can help build up a resource for all to see whats going on in the world of modern soul. And anybody else who would like to share a track, whether it be vinyl, CD, or download, that would be great. all the best alan

All the promos sold out the day i posted this, although there will be a general release expected sometime in August. https://superdiscoedits.bigcartel.com/product/willie-tee-run-around-flambeaux-promo when i find out more i let you know. what i do know is there were some other tracks found at the same time, and these to should also hopefully see the light of day

it is said............... "amazing dusty find, sitting in an old studio, left rotting from the elements of hurricane katrian, super disco edits has uncovered and restored this superb and historical slice of new Orleans soul music. available on limited 45rpm in august."

"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

nice one again Rob, cracking stuff another straight in the box

lovely stuff, nice work Rob i'll be having a bit of that me thinks

worth a listen, and then some................... The 7" version............. https://www.juno.co.uk/products/the-soul-immigrants-yard-of-hard/615433-01/

whens the Lee Dowell available Dave, and will you have any?, if so put one to one side for me if you would fella alan

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.

definitely one i'll be checking out. but, what year is this photo from, any idea? alan

it's been like losing a close friend i still keep checking in hope, but alas to no avail alan
