Current MP3 Playlist...

Over the years I've copied singles and LP tracks to CDR to increase the number of tracks per lb (or kg if you're under 30!) I can carry to gigs - not that fussed these days to be seen to be playing original vinyl and our crowd don't seem to care either

Anyway, a few years ago I MP3'd a number of the comps I'd made up and I currently have these playing whilst browsing t'internet. As usual when I do this sort of thing there are tunes I'd forgotten about. So far:

Alice Clark - You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurt Me)

Playing now Andre Williams - Do The Popcorn (on the Action label I think - not dug the vinyl out for a while - great stuff - google suggest Cadet label but I may have a British?)

Now up - Apostles - Six Pack - smoking funky hammond - that I havn't played for years - and now Apostles "Soulful" which I think I got on one of the great Luv n Haight funk n soul comps out many years ago out of San Francisco - probably the "Soulful" compilation shouldn't wander - also now on CD

Astors - Candy - sweet male harmonies (on the letter A I love the Artisitics for similar reasons - sweet harmonies, not 'cos they start with an A...)

As you can gather I'm running through alphabetical artist on the MP3s - didn't mention the Action, Alexis Korner, Aztecs, Andantes or Alvin Cash...

Coming up for my delectation Baby Face Willette "Face To Face" which I lifted from my chunky vinyl Blue Note LP - fantastic organ. Also on a Blue Note comp I have no doubt - several probably such as this one:



Barbara Lynn - Some Day We're Gonna Love Again

Barry Barefoot Beefus - Barefoot Beefus - ***ing awesome RnB - I know nowt about this barefooted mohair suited dude - have this on a Loma compilation - from memory there were seven and luckily I have the lot...seen this vol3 advertised for 20 quid - I think it was or is a Warner Brothers subsidiary

That's enough for now as the Beat Merchants "Messin With The Man" rings out
