The task which I usually struggle with has been compounded by two after parties and the resultant record bombs which has certainly added to the challenge! Anywhere, here goes. If anything is missed let me know but this is as good as my recall gets! Thanks to all the DJs who created a unique vibe in an amazingly tranquil location given the energy that was generated all weekend, some of the best sets ever at SSW which flowed from start to finish. Thanks especially to our extended Family circle, to the travellers, the revelers, the entertainers, the dedicated stragglers, you know who you are that contributed to possibly the best Stockholm Weekender ever! We had visitors from Italy, Spain, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, England, Scotland and Ireland to make it a truly international Soul Party! We hope to see you all next year!

That is just weird

Darren Brown sold EW for 2500 a while back

Less than 3 months to go! Much like the Stockholm weekender, this mix is quite varied in sound and tempo, starting off with a couple of 60s bits, moving up to 80s modern soul before crashing out with a few no-prisoners uptempo numbers. Hope you enjoy listening. /Carl

Good topic! Here is my attempt at a top 20. These are what I consider truly solid albums, not just one or two killer tracks. GSH - Pieces of a man Three Pieces - Vibes of truth Ultimates - You’re my lady Sam Dees - The show must go on Lovelites - With love from Family Circle - S/T O’Jays - Back stabbers Lou Courtney - I’m in need of love Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Impressions - The young mods’ forgotten story Leroy Hutson - Hutson Ann Peebles - I can’t stand the rain Sandra Wright - Wounded woman Teddy Pendergrass - S/T Garland Green - Jealous kind of fella Marvin Gaye - Let’s get it on Joe Bataan - Singin’ some soul Bobby Thurston - Sweetest piece of the pie Ann Sexton - The beginning Darrell Banks - Darrell Banks is here

What a group, quite mindblowing to think of the number of absolute monsters in their output.

Nowhere near 50 quid in recent times, I’m afraid. Two good sides appealing to different parts of the scene. That price is very high, though.

Glad to hear, Alex. Another excellent release, looking forward to receiving mine. /Carl

Agree, better kept separate IMO.

Agree 100%. As much as I enjoy DJing, buying a record that I wouldn’t want to hear at home makes no sense. Enough records out there — of all kinds of tempos — that sound fantastic both at home and out.

There’s been a couple of copies up for sale in the last few years, but definitely a tough find.
