Mavis Staples
I got one too. Definitely one not to miss! I saw her at the Bridgewater Hall a few years back and her voice was utterly fantastic.

New Year Box Set Sales! Bargains Galore
I've been listening to the Philly Box for the last three days. Bloody marvelous! I'm very impressed with the judgement shown on the choice of original single mix or album mix. Singles stuck to pretty faithfully except for the ones you'd want the long version on.

For Those Who Love Tom Moulton: Welcome Mike Maurro's Peak-Hour Remixes
I have listened to a number of these and enjoyed most of them. I'll definitely buy it. Have to say that I think what he's done to the extended intro to Searching is terrible though.

New Year Box Set Sales! Bargains Galore
That's odd. I also had a problem when I tried to pay with paypal. When the Demon page linked through, the amount to be paid went to £15.99 instead of twenty three whatever. I tried twice but gave up and paid by Mastercard instead. Weird

Oldies Scene
I'm surprised that the Box thread was thought to be about the oldies scene. I thought it was mostly about egos and branding. It was the most soul destroying thread I have seen on soul source. It was unedifying and embarrassing. I have no axe to grind, I am just a bloke who goes out dancing to soul music and has done for 40 years, I just think some of the contributors to the thread need to have a word with themselves. All IMHO of course,

Dr John
Yes indeed. He's fabulous live. Saw him one time at the Band on the Wall and had a chat to him after. His accent was almost undecipherable! His hands are massive, which I guess is handy for a pianist. His autobiography - Under a Hoodoo Moon: The Life of Dr John the Night Tripper is some read. He was a rum lad when he was younger.

Online Soul Radio - How Often?
I am very happy that Laut FM Soul Allnighter seems to be functioning once again, it had been off air for ages and I had really missed it. It has a really good mix of classics and less well known sides. It very often reminds me of stuff I had forgotten about as well as introducing me to stuff that had completely passed me by. Currently playing Ann Hodge - You're Welcome Back; which is lovely for a Sunday morning.
