Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

THE NORTHERN SOUL OF SUE

Decent 60s / Northern Soul compilation from the vaults of Sue records. This New York label founded a UK subsidiary in the early 1960s, run by Island records supremo Chris Blackwell and the producer - soul fan - speed freak - genius Guy Stevens. Some of their 45s are literally priceless - save a fortune & download here courtesy of Skamanc. I am returning to Soul in a big way recently - probably reliving my (some might say) mis-spent youth / teen years on the Manchester Soul scene.
Dedicated to Guy Stevens & Juke Box Johnson & everyone who attended an allniter @ The New Century Hall (Manchester).

Expect a new Northern craze anytime, as today sees the release of a film set in / around the Wigan Casino in 1974. Not seen it (yet)...May well have a squizz if I find the time.

  5. Got loads of Bowie as it happens, from the Davy Jones (mod)period onwards. Be glad to post it periodically. Currently re-listening to the Berlin stuff - that's what originally got me into Krautrock, like Neu! etc
