I really don't have one. I started collecting everything I could get hold of from 1966 through to today. I should say that what I have been buying since the 80's are reissues from Ace, Spectrum, Motown. For my taste of soul, it died in the 80's. It just dropped off a cliff. If you like rap, hip hop, that's cool, but it doesn' t work for me. I do have a massive collection so am not short of listening material. Soul music was such a broad spectrum of flavours, from Motown, Stax, Philadelphia International, Hotlanta, Solar, Invictus, Hot Wax, Music Merchant, Boo, Carnival, Brunswick, Dakar, Salsoul, Amherst, ABC, and on and on and on.....What I do find is that there is such a broad range, my preference might vary from day to day or week to week....
And I think the most wonderful thing is that after all these years, and having amassed a collection of several thousand tracks, I am still discovering the most captivating sounds. I listen every week to a guy called Shaun Louis on Mixsound [[FREE). I don't know him, have no connection with him, but I have to say he presents the most varied wonderful show without disrupting the flow. He is the best, most knowledgeable DJ I have encountered, ever. Take a listen, it's priceless.
