as for the rest of the LP's in that picture I have all of them except Jakky boy (actually I have doubles of the rest). Is the Jakky 80's or 70's? I'm used to most Salsoul having more of a disco beat but there are some great moder joints there as well. can you give me a description of the LP's sound?
Hmm how should I describe this LP best? Maybe tight 80ies funk with heavy keyboards? You won't find the typical Salsoul disco beat you mentioned on this one. It somehow reminds me of the 1983 Glass LP on HCRC. Here are two tracks so you can check it out:
Can someone nail down Modern Soul for me once and for all??? Depending on who ya talk to, it always seems like people are talking about two different era's. On one side you got the people who relate it with Northern Soul and then you got the people who put it with late 70's - Mid 80's shit.
While most in this thread are putting it down with the 80's steez, you might start a bitch fest with some people on the other side or the argument.
In any case...
I :heart:
Oh and I just became aware of The Modulations - I Can't Fight Your Love recently. If anyone wants to send me a minty one for Xmas. That would be super!
Do you have the 1982 Gene Van Buren LP on Motown?. Recently bought that one on ebay and didn't regret it
"What's Your Pleasure?" is an absolute classic boogie soul album.

Just about to mention that record- dude's voice is mad corny, but the songs are nice. I was gonna mention that lp in the "raers you found in your crib" thread too... i probably had that schitt since before man walked upright, just came across it in the crates and found out that it goes for a little $$$
other fairly common modern faves just off the top of the dome (some may just be one-trackers, but so what)-
what, you wanted some raer schitt? you know how that goes....

Please. I'm also baffled by what exactly is 'Modern Soul'.

I actually like two tracks on that album. But yeah, one of them is particularly IMO as well
I only know that album for "It Must Have Been Love", and every time I see it for ??30+ over here (i.e., whenever I see it at all), I curse myself for not buying it in 81 or whenever. Incredible song.
Incidentally, back when I was a young 'un, I once saw Wornell Jones playing bass in Nils Lofgren's band. Dude was nice with his.

If I remember correctly, the rest of the LP is in more of a rock/soul vein than "It Must Have Been Love." Fantastic tune, but it's definitely not representative of the sound of the album as a whole.
Re: Modern Soul - Here's my highly-subjective definition of Modern Soul. I tend to separate it into 2 distinct eras and/or styles: 1975-79: the disco era - mellow steppers-type tunes, often with ornate string and brass arrangements; Prince Phillip Mitchell's 2 LPs on Atlantic; Norman Conners; Lamont Dozier on Warners; Jeffree; I would probably put that Eramus Hall LP in this category 1980-84: the post-disco-era - more synthetic, "boogie" sounding production values; Leroy Burgess; Fat Larry's Band's "Breaking Out" album; Gene Van Buren's "What's Your Pleasure" album; Dayton's "The Sound of Music"; Solar Records

Hi T*m, I owe you a phone call
I stopped listening to 100.3 around the time KDAY came back on.
92.3 is the real moder station!
whats the track you're talking about?
I've been listening to 100.3 a little bit lately, they've been kinda killin' it. I heard a weekend mix with all new jack swing...Troop, Today, etc, etc, etc. Sounded good.
our station WILD (check the budweiser 12"s)....they deaded this year. they switched from am to fm, then got bought out only to go to a new rock format. no more maze,luther,atlantic star.nothin. radio is garbagio anyway.
Nice buys man! How is the Shadow LP? The cover looks nice. Is it also produced by Leon Ware? I only have the Love Lite LP from 79. Here is a track from the 1982 Omni LP "All For The One":
outside of Shadow does anyone know what other projects Leon Ware produced in the 80's?
Ware produced the first, and better, side of this Billy Griffin album from 1985. The title track is classic IMO. The other notable track here is a nice version of Ware's "If I Ever Lose This Heaven."

I feel certain I've read that Rhythm Machine became GQ?
If so this would be the Vigor-label RM I'm assuming?
True dat.
Vigor's Rhythm Makers (not Machine) became GQ. You can hear the basis of the hit "Disco Nights" in their earlier song "Soul On Your Side."

Not a shocker but I recently learned that Universal Robot Band = Kleeer. Didn't know that before...
Five Special
Lamont Dozier - Lamont (This is soooooooo slept on)
Xavier has some moments
Werd. That and "Working On You" are my favorites in the Dozier catalog.

after having you recommend this to me several months back I bought one as soon as I could find a copy. I overpaid but it was still money well spent.
people do not sleep
A Big thank you to Supergood for his past recommendations
this weekend on the strength of his words I picked up
as well as a couple other joints including a Jerry Butler executive produced joint by a group named Omni (any info on these guys?)
I can't see your pictures. Which Omni Lp did you buy? I think they recorded three LPs, the one from 1982 is the best IMO.
