Tis usually the crux of the matter Dave, nobody will tell me that Joseph Webster is a better record than Joe Tex or for example Innervision "Honey baby be mine" Kev

All fantastic examples Dave, "Under the street lamp" epitomises what soul is about for me, but now Im starting to think about "Dreams of a shoeshine boy" what the hell, all brilliant goosepimple jobs Kev

Joe Tex is absolutely brilliant Mal, unfortunately the price tag you put next to it will ensure it stays under the radar, how many records are like Joe Tex, James Brown "People wake up" is another that springs to mind that should be massive, suppose we've been here before, but will never move any further on Kev

Defo catch up Paul, Tomo is keeping me really busy listening to a load of David Ruffin stuff at the moment, will be through to see you both next couple of weeks Best Regards Kev

Been unlucky there Paul, Sam Dees, Guitar Ray and Bill Brandon were in demand from the late 80,s onwards, Stephens and Fosters stature grew a bit more recently, best example I suppose was Lee Fields "Take me back" (Tyra's Song is better imho) but the reason for that was a certain DJ deciding to play it, then all of the sheep who couldn't appreciate it as a great record previously, all started to clamour for it, not going to complain cos I did OK out of it. Kev

Exactly the model that DDA implemented at Lowton which I mentioned previously, and boy did it show, brilliant Kev

OOPS Well spotted Blake, sharp as ever my man Kev

Yeah, comes with a stigma attached if you ask me, in the NE we are up to our necks in the nostalgia thing, every weekend too many do,s on, If asked, just say "soul music, full stop" which is the truth, stigma I suggested is, Northern Soul=flying around in 40 inch bottoms with a vest covered in badges of places they,ve never f-----g been to and an Addidas bag in tow with change of vest after they've scorched the floor to Frank Wilson.We have all that going on up here in abundance. Hate it. Kev

Its the way forward Jordi, for me anyway, being a mid-tempo or even slower kind of a guy dancing ain't that important, we are all clocking on a bit aswell, Horse and Groom Doncaster is similar, only its jam packed with soul heads, bit of a dancefloor as such but can honestly say its not an essential part of the day for anybody who goes there, over the many times I have been over the last 3 years or so can,t remember dancing, but I have waited for every single record played with anticipation, just the same as everyone else, and applauded 99% of whats been played.

Post of the thread, bar none Kev

Enchanted Five, great price for fantastic double hitter Kev

The Feeling Is In My Heart/Mr Teadrops-Broadmoor is essential, one of the best double headers ever Kev

Probably being a bit selfish cos he's got loads of stuff I like and then some, Stevie Green from Gloucester. Incredible Group Soul collection and more Come to think about it (which I do) the whole DDA troup, Karl Rhodes, Joan Livesy and Paul Sadot were (and still are) fantastic and innovative. Agree wholeheartedly with Jim about Ady aswell, would be great to see him again Kev

To be honest, sick to death of the whole Frank Wilson "Do I Love You" 25 grand(whatever it went for)circus. Kev

Quite en vogue at the moment, great record, around about the ton mark I think Kev

Speedlimits, you just don't hear stuff like that now Kev

Soul Majestics-I done Told You Baby, as good as anything, fantastic record Kev

Seen this clip a million times and it still kicks the shit out of me, solitary viewing and listening only if you don't want to embarrass yourself Kev

Never heard this before, knocked me for 6, like Ruffin, so soulful, both their lives ended tragically early, when you hear them sing their inner torment is there for all to hear, such is the music we love, it seems, the more tormented, the better the singer Kev

2 for 1 here, flip is great Deep, "Sweet loving woman", great double hitter Kev

Intro to Jackey Beavers-A love that will never grows old-Revilot is awesome, in fact the whole backing track is spine tingling, certainly my love for it will never grow old, I love Steve Mancha-Friday Night and Monday thru Thursday which is the same but theres just something else that I can't describe about the Jackey Beavers recording Kev
