Many thanks to all for listening and being such a lively audience! I ended up partying on in the studio for another couple of hours, got back, ate a roast and collapsed until I just woke up and hey presto the download link was ready! Perfect timing..... Well it was another beautiful Sunday afternoon @ Starpoint Towers so I did what any self respecting Soul fan does on hot lazy sunny afternoon - namely loaded up with beers and tunes and had a ball! Tried a few tricky mixes out in the 80's section too but I won't be trying that every week - too much co-ordination required when I should be slaking beers and relaxing LOL..... So welcome to another rollicking two hours of musical highlights from the last 4 decades so heeeeeere's this week's soundtrack..........

I'm joined this Saturday (25th April) by guest Geoff Green, a veteran of the London soul club movement. Geoff will be talking about his memories of the original 1960's clubs such as The Scene (in Soho), taking us through Northern and Modern soul, and bringing us right up to the present day with current events such as Soul Essence and Filthy Soul. Ian Dewhirst will also be joining the fun, and throwing in a few tricky questions, so expect a feast of soulful music and fascinating reminiscences. I hope you can join us, as this should be pretty interesting! 3.00-5.00pm on www.starpointradio.com! Alan Champ

Cheers Daryl. Much obliged. See you in October if I don't bump into you before! Best, Ian D

Yep, I have the vinyl but need an MP3 for some sequencing I'm doing for the radio show so just wondered if anyone could send me an MP3? I think it was on the Phil-LA Of Soul comp that came out last year if anyone has it handy.......... Many thanks in advance. Ian D

No. I think that particular outfit must be reserved for the 'Simon' club.......... Ian D

Great stuff Sean! I'm re-discovering the later Chairmen Of The Board stuff and knocked out with some of it - love "The Bottom Line" and "Bless Your Heart" too...... Monday's on Starpoint is livening up nicely! Ian D

Send me the stuff Carl! This sounds just the ticket........ Ian D

This is more like it mate! I reckon you should introduce some of those other goodies you're keeping under wraps........ Ian D

LOL, the cost of doing business these days. Glamourous isn't it? I'll wait 'til you get your finished copies up then! Ian D

Yep, definitely limited-scope for diddling around with it, not that it particularly needs it as you say. I only heard the original through Colin Dilnot's blog last week and it was just co-incidence that a mate e-mailed the re-edit through with some other stuff. That happens occasionally. Hey, send me a 7" Fryer and I'll play that on the show instead! It'll give me an excuse to play it again LOL. One of the best records I've heard in a long time and I think it'll appeal to a few scenes...... Ian D

Where's that Northern collector in the Bahamas when you need him! Ian D

The fraud issue's a major factor these days plus there's lots of crackpots out there, so I guess it's John's way of making sure he doesn't get dicked around with 'spoilers'. We all have to deal with dickheads @ certain levels but when it's the world's most expensive auction I guess you have to ramp things up a bit. I don't blame him at all. It's serious money at this point so I guess those who are serious will have to verify their details and credit facilities etc, etc..... Puts people like me out of the equation for starters LOL Ian D

Yep, Fryer doesn't mince words does he LOL......? Anyway I like it. Not a great deal of scope for doing much else without the master......... Ian D

Yeah, but there wasn't a great deal else he could really do with the tools at hand and you're a Funk merchant anyway LOL.... But I take your point. Knowing him it'll be a work in progress...... Good luck with the record regardless. Great tune....... Ian D

Nah, it was Neil Thompson who was inspired enough to do a 12" Re-Edit........... You didn't play this on my show didja! I had to find the bugger myself........I had no idea you tipped it or that it's actually coming out shortly. A great record is a great record is a great record.......... Ian D

It must have been just one of the guys from Spyro Gyra I reckon Steve. The Barbara St Clair track is a million miles from all that wishy-washy yuppy Jazz bar mitvah type Spyro Gyra type stuff that got played in dodgy70's wine-bars............ Ian D

I know! I pumped Barbara St Clair into Google and your original thread came up. How's that for a co-incidence? I think the 12" is great for mixing - the only way you can get that fantastic intro coming out of another record and watch it build. I love it........ Any more tips where that one came from LOL........? Ian D

Hey well done Fryer! What a great record. Do you want this 12" mix? It's a mate who put it together and I'm sure he'd be delighted if you could use it............ Best of luck with the release mate. I think this will cause a stir across a few scenes........ Ian D

I wouldn't bet on it LOL! And that would be Winner singular. Unless you're gonna share it of course! Ian D

I dunno but if anyone has any contact info for the owners let me know 'cos I wouldn't mind licensing it........ Ian D

OK, for everyone who wants to hear the extended version it got it's first airing on the radio yesterday so here's a download...... 1st Hour Al Green & Ann Nesby - Put It On Paper - Remix Dunneasy feat Leslie Carter - Reach For The Sky Idris Muhammad - For Your Love - Remix Barbara St Clair - Teacher Man - Atomix Extended Re-Edit The Jacksons - Heartbreak Hotel Evelyn 'Champagne' King - Give Me One Reason The System - I Don't Know How To Say The Chi-Lites - Changing For You Joy - The Time Is Right Rose Royce - Love Is In The Air 2nd Hour The Lovelites - Get It Off My Conscience Bobby Hutton - It's All Been Said Before Rhonda Davis - Can You Remember Mel Britt - She'll Come Running Back Tommy Young - That's All A Part Of Loving Him Kenya Collins - Barnabus Collins - Love Bandit The Persuasions - One Thing On My Mind Cecil Parker - I Think I'll Tell Her Coffee - Love's Alive Isaac Hayes & Dionne Warwick - Can't Hide Love - Live The Rippingtons feat Chante Moore - Until You Come Back To Me Syleena Johnson - Special Occasion Lorenzo Evans - Wanna See You Smile Phil Perry - The Way That I Want You Chanel - My Life https://www.sixmillionsteps.com/6MS-...9-Starpoint.mp3 Best, Ian D

LOL, I had to edit that out for the download mate! Good job I didn't say anything too contentious LOL. I sometimes get caught in between the politics between Advertising/Radio/Magazines/Gigs etc, etc. All good fun though and the show's a pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Catch the download 'cos I'm pretty happy with this week's show......... How are you getting on with your tracks by the way? 'Bout time I heard a bit more........... Ian D
