No current dates…

As at June 2016 we’ve left our previous home at The Rumsey Wells and are looking at future options. Numbers were down and there were lots of other things happening so we’re seeing what to do next. Thanks to all those who continue to support us and we hope to be back.

Soul, Latin, Boogaloo!

Courtesy of the ever informative Modernist Society comes a Wall Street Journal article on a 2014 /15 film on the short lived Latin Soul boom. A quick search found me the web page of the film itself and at first I thought, looks good but US only release. However it does look like a UK version is available here. I’d be interested to hear if anyone has seen this. The artist roster looks good anyway.

Whilst searching I also found this list of suggested Latin Soul LPs.

From one source or another I’m lucky to have just five of these on vinyl. Go grab yourself some bugalu!

Time limited bargain vinyl

Many moons ago Edsel and Demon produced some great vinyl reissues. I have some old Lamont Dozier LPs knocking around somewhere. Anyway, just picked up that until 31st March 2016 there are some vinyl bargains to be had.

First up how about what seems to be a reissue of the reissue of a never issued Action LP. If that makes any sense:

The Action The Ultimate Action 316243

At just £8-99 plus postage this looks a bargain. I played through some of these today for the first time in years and amongst the obvious “go to” tunes heard this afresh.

If that wasn’t enough, double LP of The Creation for £12-99 too

Other items of possible interest include The Northern Soul Film with 14 7” singles and The Beat “I Just Can’t Stop It” and their 13 singles in a collection. Fill your boots (loafers, brogues…)
