once upon a time

thirty years ago last week me and a suitcase and a record player waved off a crying dad and screamed hello london. well shuddered afternoon tottenham but you get my drift. i played lady sings the blues and the birthday present off of my sister volume contrast and brilliance endlessly and they still send me straight back to the box room and the terror of liberation

"Just been looking at Dusty 7 and Atticca thing, thought you might like to post up this incredible track by Willie and West, George Kerr production, "Attica Massacre" same track (well very similar) to 99p Soul big tune by Hesitations "Is this the way to treat a girl" and Lonnie Youngblood "Sweet Sweet Tootie"

Fucking Hardcore TUNE !!!!

Love always

RRxx"

radio times two

 radio 4 at 11:30 can be quite the very trial. 'orrid comedy dramas in particular. and then every now and again something truly wonderful...

i've recorded it all specially for all the too late to listen and far away folks

bbc radio 4 - the secret history of bossa nova

slow down

lovely rob's been at the slow jam...

gloria ann taylor - world that's not for real


"Twenty slow soulful tunes I've been enjoying recently from here, there and everywhere !
Who doesn't love a good Soul monologue and The Soul Children sure take some beating, but the line - "It Ain't nothing wrong with having a cup of coffee Baby" by Laura Lee is an all time fave.
This mix is dedicated to the thoughtful record collectors who post their tunes up on youtube, where I discovered a few of these songs, especially the Soulhawk, Eringobrath, Val Challoner and breadmaker99.
Big up t'ya !"
