The Carstairs - It Really Hurts Me Girl - Tom Moulton Mix or not?



It looks like Tom Moulton doesn't think he actually did this particular remix, although he is credited with it. For the record, he did a legendary mix of the tune which came out on Red Coach records. It also turns out that this tune was the catalyst for a pivotal moment in the UK's Northern/Modern Soul Scene, by inciting some sort of split between the scenesters and DJs leaving the 60s oldies and gearing towards playing 70s newies. Besides all that, I just think this record is immaculate.

Family Of Eve - Please be Truthful (Alternate Take)



This previously unreleased version finally came out a few years ago, nice version which gets the full 12" treatment, and is certainly more accessible than the 7".

This looks pretty good if you are in the area, check out the info straight from Andy Bird's beak:

"A low key afternoon with friends down selling some fine music, cold beer and a BBQ in the garden. Summer Sunday Heaven.

Already confirmed selling some records are Mark Gurney, Toni 'Blackbeard' Rosano, Mr Thing, Andy Bird, Mark Webster, Gavin Page, Deke Eichler, Rod 'Spin Doctor' Gilmore, Rik Moran, Andy Baker and more TBC so there should be some choice music for your purchasing pleasure.

We'll have listening posts set up for yo...u to check out before you buy, comfy sofas to take a break on, and might even have some DJs playingin the evening.

With a BBQ fired up in the garden and cold beer on tap bring the family down for an afternoon of record digging, beer swigging and, with a bit of luck, some sunshine."

See you there

Paris Underground Trax Volume 1 - My Love Is Underground

Paris Underground Trax Vol.1 - My Love Is Underground by Underground Paris

I'm back from my wonderful trip to Paris, and the streets are BUZZING about Paris Underground Trax Volume 1. One of the most beautiful cities in the world, is now the home of one of the realest House music labels in the world headed by Underground Paris, and will be hosting the first My Love Is Underground Party this fall!

COMING SOON!!!

Nathaniel X on My Love Is Underground



Straight up Old School House style on My Love Is Underground label from our boy Jeremy, known as Underground Paris. If you haven't picked it up yet, don't sleep on this killer House tune that has that proper swing.

Also look out for My Love Is Underground party in Paris in November (we may even try to fly out for this one!), as well as in Moscow (August 20th, Dome) & Belgrade (August 26th, 20/44).

Jerline and Friends "Joy Trip" - Finally Available on Vinyl!!!



From a previously unreleased LP, which was acetate only, the stand out cut for me is finally released on a 7" after all these years. Available for the very first time on vinyl, this is an absolutely moving tune that will do damage anywhere to anyone that has soul.

Big shout outs to Underground Paris for turning many of us onto this tune, as he had one vinyl copy made at The Carvery, and had been playing it on vinyl when nobody else was!

Some got no further than reel to reel tape. But they all got club play thanks to the trio's relationship with Canada's top DJ of the time, The Limelight's Robert Ouimet..."
