Race Horses - My Year Abroad (Solid C Kinky Afro Mix).wav

Dr Martin Luther King's tragically gave his 'I've Been to the Mountain Top' speech the day before his assassination on April 4th, 1968. Like all Dr King's speeches, it is profoundly moving. Mixing it with 'Make Me Believe,' a track written and produced by Curtis Mayfield, brings deeper resonance to the track. But many seemingly harmless soul records of the 60's had dual significance. 'Dancing in the Streets' was an anthem for the Civil Rights Riots of 60's. Afro-Americans were no longer prepared to be invisible, they were going to be seen and heard.

The 1-2-3-4 snare, a musical style developed by Motown - where the snare plays on every beat in the bar, rejected the subtlety of swing. Direct and unequivocal, it demanded to be heard, reflecting the deeper political aspiration of soul music. It's also the beat that formed the bedrock of Northern Soul, perfect for kids who wanted to dance hard all night. Here (With a few exceptions) we celebrate the Northern Soul snare.

Jazz is hot and so many people asking about in the shop. Quite rightly. It's currently the most interesting music - communicating new ideas and being brave enough to try new colours, textures and grammar in order to broaden its ability to do this.

Here's our first Peckham Soul Jazz selection. Includes pioneers such as Donald Byrd and Lonnie Liston Smith, as well as young bucks like Yaz Ahmed and Madison McFerrin, as well as labels like International Anthem.

Peckham Soul is doing some soul time travellin! Join your host DJ Craig Jamieson as he gets in the musical Tardis and looks at what was happening on the Northern Soul scene from Oct 1975. 

The Rare Soul scene was a very fluid when it came to releases and fairly partisan depending what camp you were affiliated with. Venues such as Wigan Casion kept to a policy of ostensibily unearthing new discoveries from the 60's, Whilst the Mecca, feeling the quality of new discoveries was bound to dry up, started spinning rare new releases imported from the States. Tracks by Sam Dees and Sister Sledge are two examples, where as Wade Flemmons and the Jellybeans very much represented new discoveries.

A fantastic selection from one of Northern Sou'ls most innovative period. Now kids, on with the show.

1. Jeanette Wade - Flemmons
2. I Can't Live Without You - Jay Walkers
3. Autumn Of Your Tomorrow - The Crow
4. World Don't Owe You a Living - Loleatta Holloway
5. You Don't Mean Me No Good - Jelly Beans
6. Mend My Broken Heart - Rose St John & the Wonderettes
7. Love Don't Go Through No Changes - Sister Sledge
8. Fragile, Handle with Care - Sam Dees
9. Johanesberg - Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson
10. I Really Love You - Jimmy Burns
11. I Still Can't Get To You - Joseph Moore
12. Look at The Boy - Jean Plum
