My Song For The Month
This is my 60s Soul track of the week. I first heard this played by DJ Ian Jackson, on his weekly Thursday morning Detroit Executive Show at back2backfm . For those who are’nt aware, Ian’s show is broadcast at 10am-12pm every Thursday. As always he plays a wonderful lucky bag of rare Soul, to add a smile to everyones’ Thursday morning. This has been a favourite track of mine for the past 18 months. I personally think it’s divine.

Article Of The Week – 1980s Mod Rally Cassettes – Tape 1 – 60s Soul, Northern Soul, 60s R&B & Mod Music
A few years ago I made an anticipated journey into our loft. However I am glad I did, because amongst numerous crates I stumbled across a crate of my Mod memorabila from the old days in the 80s. Within that crate were several tapes of songs recorded which were played at various Mod events in the 1980s. Here is an article based on one of those tapes. For any of you who have’nt heard & would like a trip down memory lane, you can also listen & relive your memories which hopefully will evoke a few smiles along the way. With thanks to old CCI DJ Rob Cox who kindly produced a MixCloud based on this tape.
