I'm enjoying this Larry.

[theboyfromxtown]

I love hearing someone else's selections. It helps to discover other tracks that didn't hit me the first time.

[snakepit]

This is always an excellent show Larry. You showcase a blend of Motown material, much of which is rare and unreleased, and you give any Motown fan a full hour every week of the lesser known high quality Motown with informative and non intrusive commentary. You have a lot of listeners out here. SDF members are the perfect target audience. Thanks for all your time, freely given and much appreciated.

I did..I had to go to Radio Manchester but I got there in the end. Poor Rita Wright got spliced in two!

Priorities first......thank you for featuring the Velvelettes. :-)

I like shows like these when I can hear someone else's selections. It takes me back to those magical days of yesteryear when we would go to each other's house after school to listen to a new acquistion. I remember one school mate getting Motown Magic and we raved over some of the tracks we didn't know well for weeks.

I also get to listen to tracks that I haven't played for a long time and when you hear them on the radio, the sound is so much fuller and better.

Loved the show Larry.

[snakepit]

Thanks John
North Manchester fm is a local community station that is basically a 1 man operation, working 2 days a week.As such, it does a great job, but problems arise from time to time with techhie stuff, and it goes wrong occasionally.
Hope it gets sorted soon

[Boogiedown]

listening.....heard you mention Soulful Detroit... thought I'd send a thumbs up as I enjoy while I clean up some around here!

[was getting some cut out , but think it was my computer]

[snakepit]

Thanks..hope you enjoyed the show

[Boogiedown]

I did.! I prefer to hear a mix of a variety of artists rather than the same one over and over, that to me is radio and the duty of a DJ.
And I like your approach .....more music less talk.

[snakepit]

Thanks boogiedown

It's all about spreading the word, and introducing people to 'new' sounds...and not too much talk

[grapevine]

...another great show Snake...!

Motown Sound

https://podcast.canstream.co.uk/manc...Motown%20Sound

First track deleted in error

[Boogiedown]

how about that ....cleaning while listening, counters done ...but on comes PET NAMES .... as I've got a pot of apples on the stove becoming applesauce....synchronicity .

[Boogiedown]

So I had to look this one up ....when was SOUNDS OF THE ZODIAC released and was it a bit of a SHAFT inspired knock off?

But it turns out it was released before SHAFT ....but it was just a few months earlier that same year.

Makes me ask if Isaac hadn't given this recent tune a spin or two .....or is my imagination overactive this time around ...




makes me go, hmmmm



also this was my favorite discovery from this week's show:



I keep playing it.

[snakepit]

Hello Boogiedown..hope you are enjoying the show.
Your Shaft comments are interesting.The Gordon Staples tracks were recorded about 1970/71...but Motown gave permission to a movie production to use the tracks some years later..a Shaft type movie.." Mean Johnny Barrow".
I'm sure youtube / wikipedia will have details.

[snakepit]

Mean Johnny Barrows

[grapevine]

...youtube has the whole film ...vocals at the beginning and end are Motown's Devastating Affair...!



Grape

[snakepit]

Thanks Grape.
I temember a night visiting friends who put the DVD on....and I Instanly picked up on the Gordon Staples tracks on the soundtrack
