For Confidential Recordings' in-depth package, Big Al not only lent his full cooperation, but also provided access to his personal collection of photographs and memorabilia. In addition, Wildweeds historian Richard Brukner interviewed other original band members and scores of family, friends and fans. His resulting sixteen pages of liner notes tell the complete story of The Wildweeds.
That story is also told by the music. At the collection's core are the eight songs that comprise the entirety of The Weeds' four single records released on Chess' Cadet label. Six previously unreleased tracks round out the set, including a searing cover of The Soul Sisters classic "I Can't Stand It" and "Fuzzy Wuzzy," a red-hot, fuzzed-out original instrumental. This compilation also debuts "No Good To Cry" in stereo and instrumental versions re-mixed and re-mastered from the original multi-track tapes by original producer Thomas "Doc" Cavalier.
It's the stuff of pop music legend: in the late 60s, a young band with a scorching style and a regional number-one song drifted into obscurity. Meanwhile the band's frontman, then-teenage Al Anderson, went on to a highly visible career that includes a decades-long stint with the hugely popular band NRBQ. Anderson moved on to become one of the most sought after songwriters in Nashville, and he's still going strong after 40 years of musical adventures.The Hartford, CT area had a strong music scene in the 1960s. The young players typically shifted in and out of various combos. Bands with names like The Blues Messengers, The Altones, The Six Packs and The Futuras shaped them. The Wildweeds gelled in late 1966. The musicians included Al Anderson, of course, on guitar and vocals. Andy Lepak (drums), Ray Zeiner (keyboards), Bob Dudek (bass) and Martin "Skip" Yakaitis (percussion) rounded out the group in its definitive lineup.
According to the fairytale trajectory, the band's popularity grew locally through enthusiastic fans at numerous live gigs. The Wildweeds went into the studio and cut some tracks, including "No Good to Cry." DJs around the northeast began to play "No Good to Cry." It was an unqualified regional hit.
Fans of NRBQ have been assured of Al Anderson's talents for decades. Legions of them treasure, trade and discuss everything that the band has ever done. With the release of "No Good to Cry: The Best of The Wildweeds," Confidential Recordings contributes some long-lost, ever-so-deserving material, including rare and vintage photos and documents, to update and add to the legend.

THE WILDWEEDS "No Good To Cry"

Some months ago I became overwhelmed by the sheer volume of
contributions by TZers to this site. It seemed to me that posters were
each trying to outdo one another and instead of sharing records from
their own collection they were scouring the internet just to load
anything and everything onto this site. It got to the point that I
felt buried in music that I had minor interest in nor could I ever
listen to in its entirety.
I've been waiting for the swamp to drain.
As a contributor for almost three years I had compiled a Zippyshare
list that spanned seven pages and I kept it current so that no share of
mine expired. Yesterday I checked Zippy for the first time in months
and those seven pages have shrunk down to one.
So here are some links that are fading. Please don't let them die.
I guess once a TZer always a TZer. -- and I remain JohnnyDiego

Greetings to all
Thank you, Johnny Diego.
I usually prefer instrumental jazz over vocal, but I really like the understated qualities of Chet Baker's voice. Never realized he'd cut so many vocal sides.
Would anyone possibly have this compilation?
Screamin' Jay Hawkins -
"Screamin' Jay Rocks". It's a 2008 release from Bear Family.
Thanks in advance!!!
Thanks to the D-Man for some dwindling jewels. Nice to see your voice again...

A while ago I worked out that my overflow file (music I would listen to later) had one years worth of music if listened to for 24 hrs a day.
I stopped right then and decided that the 60's were really what I liked and that is mostly all I go for now.
I love RYP for running this site, but I have no like for surfing music.
I enjoy Motown/soul but am overwhelmed by northern madman.
I pick and chose as I go along but I agree the tsunami of music is sometimes over the top.
But this community is a place I love to be in and I am here everyday trolling.
Thanks.
@ JohnnyD
firstly great to see you back as i've always said
this is were you belong and others that used to post here
that stopped posting i hope they have a change of heart and
start posting again
now for the good news for some
this time i am calling it day THE TWILIGHTZONE
i won't be compertition for anyone something simular
was said about myself and Jillem i won't go there
or be used by any one thinking other wise
something i've always done is worked on and ripped most of
what i've posted here in the zone for the past few years
and a lot more years before here in soulseek which i still do
only for a select few of my users
i apologize for over loading T/Z as i have done for
the past few years
but never the less JohnnyD don't give up doing what you do
here your part of the fittings in the zone
thanks for opening my eyes to how you see it a
THANK TO RYP AND Gyro and all the soul followers
for all the good times here in the ZONE
thank to all who took the time to comment
i'll close this door RYP the only way i know
>>> KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON <<<
>>>> KEEP THE FAITH <<<<

the links will be kept alive until they die off
@Johnny Diego: I sometimes share your feelings about the TZ having devolved into a who-can-post-more contest. But mostly I think of the this community as a very large and somewhat jumbled record store that rewards collectors willing to sift through the dross to get to the gold. Of course, what is dross and what is gold is an entirely an subjective matter. What I continue too see in the TZ and is largely absent elsewhere on the web is a consistent civility and friendliness that spans tastes and continents. It's inevitable, I think, that given their structure, web entities such as the TZ will inevitably shape-shift and often be messy.
Good to hear you're still there, Señor D. I wondered about your continued absence here and thought the election of the American child-king had bummed you into utter silence.

Thanks for The Grays and Zombies.
thank you for the upload.
I don't Suppose anyone has the Barry Richards TV Collection vol 1 which has Little Richard tracks on it or has the Fats Domino LP southland Usa ever been issued as a download or anywhere else for that matter
miss you Johnny D...I too got overwheled, albeit for different reasons, and a tbh somewhat underwhelmed as well. But I love this site for all its flaws and a host of y'all--not least you--feel in ways I can;t quite explain kindred spirits, whether we are or not.
Good to see you here, miss your stories, all best,
Ol'Anon
@apauling, I couldn't have stated it better. This IS like a great, friendly clearinghouse of musical experience and it just requires sifting through (and then deleting if you don't like the d/l). Maybe i'm too much of an archivist but I love the eclectic tastes here. For me, it has become a virtual old-time record store, sifting through the bins for treasures.
And to northernmadman, whatever convinced you to hang up the sharing, please reconsider.
Thanks to all the sharers, a truly generous bunch you are.
Dear all
I do not understand why there is so much hassle on the TZ usage etc. If some people have an issue, they are free to go and come back like Johnny Diego and Northern madman, it is not a duty. At least this is the way I see it. On the other hand so much nice music a lot of it coming from the 2 persons above has been shared here, so THANK YOU for the MUSIC.
Northern Madman - Don't let a few ungrateful people stop you from sharing and visiting. There will always be one or two in every thousand that may complain, that's normal. Keep stopping by and sharing, it's a highlight of this place. I know I look forward to your rare shares.
Madman - RYP tells me that we get over 15,000 visitors in one day. So there is bound to be one or two that will complain.
JohnnyDiego:
Welcome back - good to have you around again. I likewise feel overwhelmed at times by the abundance of music that flows through TZ, not to mention the other blogs I frequent. I have to keep reminding myself of what I like and am interested in hearing. That said, there's not a day that I don't check the TZ posts for anything that piques my interest. There's great artists and records that I've discovered just this week, for which I am grateful. At the moment I'm listening to a Herbie Mann album that I used to have in the early 1960's and haven't heard in decades until I saw it posted somewhere yesterday. I'm a lucky recipient of others generosity and hard work, and I appreciate it. In any event, as others have said, this is one of the few great open music communities out there and I'm thankful for what everyone contributes.
I love this place and to me its easy ... Take What you love, Leave what you dont !!! And Northern Madman i've always loved your stuff ...please stay !!!!
I'm just overwhelmed at all the kind words today. I'm speechless. (Just kidding. I don't even know the meaning of that word as all of you know by now.) I hope to continue sharing and I hope that none of you mind if I repeat some shares of a few years ago. With all of my Zippy refrigerator notes gone to Uranus and beyond I feel that there are some things that need to be posted again.
Again, thanks for your kindness and I promise, since I've recovered from my mysterious TZ malady, I will return to my trite and verbose sophism.
sorry to see you go madman
see you at whitby m8
To echo the great Gyro66 on this one: when you let a few malcontents (what on earth are they not content by????) control the community's conversation, they win. It's just bullying, to to what end i have no idea. And it shouldn't be about winning and losing--sharing is a virtue in and of itself. As you say often, KTF! And that faith is with like-minded people--the majority--on here.
davetuba ....thanks so much for the Screamin Jay CD! Much appreciated!
JohnnyD - Welcome back! (Missed all the anecdotes - always wondered if you did some writing somewhere.
Peace.
@Johnny Diego... welcome back! You were missed from this (and other) blogs. Never ever let the haters get to you. That's what feeds their anonymous Internet trollishness. Screw 'em! We're here for the music and the history and the community.
Don
Gyro stated it well, Madman. Please stop by when you can. There's only one Madman. You are loved here. This is your second home.
Gaius said:
I discovered TZ many years ago. If there are 15 000 people visiting every day (as said above) I acted like most of them, I was silent. I posted only a few times as a complete Anonymous, not as an identifiable (artificial) figure as I do now.
Let's say that RYP is posting about 30 records a week. I'm only interesting in 10 of them. Five of them I've bought long ago (like Dream Syndicate a few days ago or the Divine Horsemen yesterday) and it's nice to be remembered. O.K. Five are left, 3 of them I've got on LP, but not on CD. Nice to have them. And two are new. Let's hear, what they have to sing.
But then it's always worthy to look behind the Twilight Curtain and see what people are listening to, what they share. Again I find a lot of stuff that is not my kind of taste, some other records I bought in the past. Some old records are shared that I have only as an LP. Thanx. And every day there a few lines, written of somebody that makes me curious what he/she has to offer. I don't have a revelation every day or an orgasmic feeling about hearing something overwhelming new, but sometimes there is. And that's a good reason for visiting this site and I took everyone who's posting here serious.
And let me say something psychological and socio-logical:
a) Nearly no one visiting this site is under 30
b) If there are some ones they're searching for new musical experiences far away from their peer-groups.
c) No (nearly no) Rap Music is shared, music for the precariat.
d) Combined with the fact that (nearly) all use English here - even though that isn't their mother's language - we could conclude that the visitors on these pages being able to express themselves in more than one language are not the losers of society.
But back to music and to somebody that became after being a rising star a kind of loser. Drug abuse - the usual story. This is Nico, the Velvet Goddess, with a Bootleg album that is not available next door. The quality is o.k. Most of the tracks are familiar to those who love her records. For those who have never heard of Nico, let me tell you it's dark wave and stuff. So, here is a "Minnesang" like you never heard before in your life:
http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/qS4Vxy08/file.html
Northern Madman spends his weekends dancing with beautiful women. I spend my weekends downloading his music. What's wrong with this picture?
@ northern madman, good news for some is bad news for a hell of a lot more. TZ is my first call every morning in the day an last thing at night, always hoping for a madman post. I'm truly grateful for every tune you've posted here, truly grateful. There are plenty of good times still to be had here northern madman, because you make them, for all the soulies. RYP & Gyro graciously allow anyone to post their preferred genre of music here, and if someone requests, someone will always oblige, that's what makes TZ, and you're a big part of that. Thanks for being so enthusiastic about the music you enjoy and thanks for sharing it here, hope you have a change of heart northern madman.
cheers,ELtel

The Sue Records Story (4-CD Box Set) (1994)
https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Sue-Records-Story/release/4746387
Album Notes
This four-CD, 100-song set is the best representative body of work ever assembled (or ever likely to be assembled) of the R&B and soul releases from Henry "Juggy Murray" Jones' Sue Records. The range of sounds runs the gamut from ex-Drifter Bobby Hendricks' first hit for the company ("Itchy Twitchy Feeling") in 1959, through the string of hits by Ike & Tina Turner, to the company's last hits some seven years later. Not only is every chart single that the label ever had represented, but so are club hits from the mid-'60s and solo sides by uniquely New York-associated figures. The contents of the box are almost ideal, along with their arrangement -- in contrast some other box sets, this one follows strict release order, which is a great way to follow the history of the label (though not ideal for anyone, apart from owners of multi-disc players, who simply wants to hear the label's best-known tracks in one sitting). Producer Alan Warner admits that some of the tracks included are not the original single takes, but, rather, outtakes that were found in the tape vaults, and which were used in place of missing masters on various singles. Optimum sound was as much a consideration as providing the authentic rendition, and the audio quality here is excellent -- given the rarity of a lot of original singles, the compromise (forced by the presence of missing material) is a wise one. The one drawback will be for jazz fans, who will find Jimmy McGriff and Bill Doggett represented in a limited manner, but not any of the other jazz artists who cut music for Sue. Other than this caveat, the collection is not only an essential look at the history of one of the most vital New York-based R&B and soul labels of the 1960s, but also a close-up look at part of the history and development of New York soul, an area frequently overlooked. Of course, all of that's really just intellectual jackassing around; the real reason to buy this box is that there's not an uncool track among the 100 songs here. ~ Bruce Eder

Good news to read Johnny Diego again. Thanks for the bacilos i'm inoculated that
The stories you talk are the History an the way you talk about i think is the right way, not official but the real life. When i was young i wasn't much interested with the talk of mi father about the spanish civil war (he was 16 at the beginning, he lost and was in prison for 10 years) From some years ago i'm trying to understand some of his decisions and only trying to be in the context i'm be near of understand him.The life of common people in these years is really important more than the official history. Very complex.
I give you thanks not only for the music but for your sincerly talk
I appreciate all the shares whether i like them or not .. my favorites to look forward to are the page head liner and I am always eager to see what turns up in the bonus section .. I capture what interests me and leave the rest behind but as always I play it forward and share with others... Thomas thanks for all you that is given .

INTERCONTINENTAL PLAYBOYS - SONIC SEDUCERS (2005)
The long-awaited debut album from Sydney, Australia's the Intercontinental Playboys! What can you expect? The Intercontinental Playboys think of themselves as Sydney's voodoo psych garage specialists - though Off The Hip's opinion is that it's rock 'n' roll... & we like it! Developing their sound significantly since their 2001 "Ladies, may we introduce ourselves" EP on Full Toss Records, we think you'll be feverishly surprised by the formidable and delectably dangerous swagger that characterises "Sonic Seducers".
(http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk)
There's a lot of competition but this might just be one of the best Australian releases of 2005, certainly in the (self-imposed) sub category of Voodoo Psych Garage. Think multi-layered fuzz guitar entwined around chunky organ chords and you're in the neighbourhood. As good as their debut EP "Ladies May We Introduce Ourselves" was, "Sonic Seducers" is a quantum advance with the songs sounding more rounded, and the band much more in control.
Given their past penchant for live Cramps covers and their reconfiguration as a bass-less four-piece (with Michelangelo now full-time on the keys), the comparisons to the institution that is Lux and Ivy and a revolving cast of supporting players are almost inevitable. But imposing that label would be lazy. Sure, they're mining common ground (although the Playboys mention the Barracudas and Stooges in the same breath), but one of the strengths of the Cramps in their glory days was their ability to nod to precursors while simultaneously applying colours from their own palette. The Playboys do the same, sounding sassy, smart and rocking in the same breath.
Where the Cramps are intent on getting fucked up (or fucking) in as many ways as possible and telling everybody about it, these enigmatic Sydney gents are more demure. Men of the world they may be, but they're still wrestling with the usual problems of relationships ("Baby Hang Up"), how to have a good time ("Downright Right Down", "The Bedroom Analyst") and what to wear when doing so.
The songs are so great here, it's hard to know where to start. The opener "Voodoo Delight" puts the fuzz credentials firmly on the table while "The Erotic Circus of Torment", "Death Row Tango" and "Journey to the Centre of My Dirty Mind" all manage to make their point without bludgeoning or putting the pedal to the figurative metal. Seductive stuff.
Considerable effort's gone into making "Sonic Seducers" sound just right and to this end, guitarist Benedict has woven a heady sonic fabric with all manner of fuzztones embedded into the stitching. His guitar stylings are outstanding and as distinctive a feature as Tommi's idiosyncratic vocals. The keyboard basslines are thick enough to stir a martini on and amply fill the bottom end, allaying fears of bass-less wimpishness. This is an album that resounds with a rock sensibility in all but its slinkiest moments.
Tougher than its predecessor but at the same time more sweeping in its ambitions, "Sonic Seducers" is on the money. Not many bands doing this stuff as well. Hopefully, this will be the catalyst to get the Playboys overseas. - The Barman

I m fed up with this guy who calls himself northern madman- every now and then he is saying goodbye to this community and it seems to me that it is impossible to get rid of him- but now I hope that I will never see his mega contributions never ever again. So, so long northern madman. And welcome back Johnny D.
Just a quick note of grateful thanks to RYP and Gyro1966 for keeping this site alive and well; it is absolutely the best spot for finding, hearing, and discovering 60s-related sounds. On top of that, its a great meeting point for music fans from all over the world. I've been turned on to so many good bands and different ideas just from what I see in the comments.
JohnnyDiego: thank you as well for the massive links, especially the Chet Baker. Have it on right now, and it's the perfect thing for a Saturday night in with my loving wife : )
Finally, to the tireless NorthernMadman: I hope all the kind words in the comments help you find a well-deserved sense of how much your hard work is appreciated and respected. It's very easy for people who are given so much for so little to be dismissive, or to take the hard work of others for granted. Add in the anonymous cloak that comes from being online, and apparently some people can't resist the temptation to be overly critical or outright salty with their opinion. That being said, this is also a site that has thousands of daily users, many of whom I assume aren't native English speakers (or writers). If the comment above your "sign-off" is one of the criticisms that changed your mind about contributing to TZ, I would gently suggest that perhaps the commenter doesn't have the best grasp of English idioms, and ***maybe*** by saying they are "overwhelmed" by your posts is their way of trying to say that the scope and volume of your work is amazingly, fantastically large. Could be??
TL;DR: thanks to RYP & GYRO for keeping this site alive, and to all who post bonus links in the comments. Let's all be appreciative, and trust that whatever our fellow TZ-ites are posting here is done with the best of intentions...even if it sometimes seems otherwise.
@northern madman,
I didn't take J. Diego's comments to be referring to you at all. I think you may have misunderstood what he said. You will be missed should you not continue to visit this site. Hope you reconsider.
I often feel overwhelmed here and have a lot of the same preferences and aversions that Johnny mentioned, but I never lose sight of the fact that this is a nice problem to have.
I certainly don't feel any annoyance toward any of the regulars who are so generous with the music and so engaging as personalities (I'm talking to you madman, Johnny, luis, montysmusic, searnav, easilyconfused, Jillem and others!)
Thanks of course to RYP and Jillem for making this one of the very best sites and a great place to spend time.
Northern Madman
If my comment about being "overwhelmed" by your postings was read as a complaint let me explain. I dl almost all of your posts and go thru them for my sixties fix. There are so many that my "NoMad" file takes me days and days to sort thru. I love soul music to listen to, I am not a dancer. Otis, Smokey, Marvin, Sam, Gladys, Etta, I love them all and am always looking thru your stuff for gems. Take a break and hopefully we will see you again, you are truly needed/wanted here.
It seems to be a ritual that 'madman' says goodbye after a few weeks or months ..... and then the 'madman' (as madmen do) comes always back.
@northern_Madman
Please stay. I really enjoy your shares.
Northern Madman You Are Part Of This Community And Also 100 Per Cent What Sites Like This Are All About.
Sharing Without Thought For Time And Effort,Just Enjoying Giving And The Thought That Other People Are Enjoying What You Share.
If You Decide Not To Come Back And Let People Like "ANONYMOUS" Drive You Away Then We All Lose And They Win.
On Every Site There Will Be People Like That,DON'T Let Them Win
Just Go To Your Host Page And See How Many Times Your Contributions Are Downloaded And There You Will See The True Picture.
I Hope You Stay And Keep Doing What You're Doing.
If Not Then All I Can Say Is It Will Be A Great Loss.
But Whatever You Decide K.T.F Always
Cheers

Without Northern Madman, things will be a lot less interesting. To paraphrase an old Impressions song, "Never in this world can there be too much soul!" When the Madman chimes in with a lot of posts, I cut-and-paste them into a separate file, then download as desired.
99 out of 100 times, what he posts is excellent.
I feel as if I have outgrown rock music, which is now the soundtrack for the lives of middle aged divorced women and their annoying goateed boyfriends who play in U2 cover bands. I was actually never that crazy about rock per se, but it's absolutely unbearable now that the genre and its audience have become old and sanctimonious.
I always loved soul, but it's now become a complete obsession of mine, largely thanks to Northern Madman. Keep those links alive! Keep the faith! Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of NM.
Umm lotsa food for thought in these posts must say maybe Im guilty of posting to much but I hope the management will let me know if I share to much.
I find the boxset idea I use for posting is Ok altho I know some folk want info on the artists posted so for me its finding the right balance of sharing.
I will say I love searching for music for folk it appeals to the 'helper' in me plus I also discover new sounds/artists
Happy hunting to all and ty to the management and all the sharers and commenters
If is I said that Northern Madman, you won't be missed, i would be lying. Thank you for all the great soul treats. I appreciated every single one. I only wished I had a direct link to your hard drives or collection. Thank you very much to you and the great TZ crew.
@ monty
in the period when Johnny D got overwhelmed you aren't the only who get a bit out of control with the music share. another was sure i. sure was the pending christmas and excitation bout it, in my case the tsunami of christmas music led me to share some of my favorite folk pop tunes as remedies againt that flood plus other stuff like some of my favorite cd. As a sort of that let us a bit lose the sense of measure on sharing.
Sure to someone that could seem a testosterone driven fight to show who share more music or the music more singular but for me was only the fruit of my desire to share some of music i love with other people with the hope that someone could appreciate them (and also try to help someone to fullfill their music request).
Maybe is also true someone get overwhelmed because there were new contributors that have change the equilibrium existing prior in the blog and so they feel be less confident with the new environment.
but now the situation seem a bit quieter and hope there will a lot of guy sharing and requesting (maybe leaving a thanks for reward) more new and old music.
to anonymous,
i think your way out of order regarding your comments about the madman!
what gives you the right to comment and make judgements on the comings and goings of contributors like the great northern madman who has done more to put soul and northern soul on the TZ than anybody else?
sadly there are people who moan and winge without thinking these guys spend a lot of time doing all the work for others to enjoy!
so give your head a shake m8 and think what you say before you publish.
we all have feelings even you..
That's right, anonymous have no right to comment anything or to ascertain facts. They should only be thankful. Commenting anonymous are just few (the bad guys) among many anonymous out there.

Madman -- You had nothing at all to do with my sabbatical from TZ. In fact, you've turned me on to many soul records I would never have had access to. You continue always to amaze me with you knowledge and the enormity of your discography. Losing you would be quite a loss to a wonderful and prolific blog.
Don't go!
I cannot express my appreciation & love for JohnnyD, RYP, Gyro, Jillem, Northern Madman, luis, montysmusic, and all who work so hard to share great music of all genres for free. TZ is my heroin, my mistress, my salvation. We are Brothers & Sisters here whose muse is the music we love so much we want Everyone to hear it. Love y'all!
@ alex
Yes i m that anonymous-
and by the way i don t like his way of communicating. Why I must every now and then read something like don t thank me, do this, don t do that or you ll never see my contributions again and some of you want to give him medals for his uploads by shovels. I m here almost every day for maybe four years and in his postings I see only tons and tons of music, something like kinda catalogues where I have found something interesting from time to time, but no real cultivated passion established individually as by those persons of this community that are the ones, at least for me, that are the real TZ bearers.
Echoing everyone else here, can I express my appreciation for what ALL the generous contributors do. I too am totally overwhelmed by the volume of shares but it seems kind of ridiculous to consider that a complaint. I'll probably never get through everything that I download, but it ain't gonna stop me. At least not yet. Thanks again guys!
Madman, sorry to here that you might finally be leaving, I'm not a regular visitor here, really for the reasons JohnnyD has mentioned but I will be sad to see you no longer on this site. Take care and have a long life.
I too am anonymous.
madman, do not let stop you from going. All the best somewhere else.
I'm That Anonymous - you are ungrateful and obnoxious and speak only for yourself. I would prefer if you didn't leave any more comments - if you don't care for the music anyone shares, including Madman, simply skip it. We don't need your selfish comments. Sad that there are ungrateful people out there.
What is the matter with people on here??!! Just download what interests you and leave what doesn't - it probably interests someone else!.WTF is there to complain about?! Too much choice??!! Get a f@cking grip!! This is best site on web!!
@ Gyro
i called it a day hoping some of the guys that stopped posting
here would return just like JohnnyD has and to be to be fair
JohnnyD is right in most of what he said. it's far to easy for
anyone to go to another blog d/l it and the re-up as there
rip there links sooner or later something had to be said and
JohnnyD did that and i'm glad he did as my lasts up's where
far to much from the goldmine collection and more than likely
some of the other collections i've posted JohnnyD
THANK YOU respect tot you. you know what they say
YOU CAN'T TEACH A OLD DOG NEW TRICKS

has not been said by the T/Z in-crowd
@ lemonflag
you said nothing wrong but one thing i should say is
you only had to ask for something if i had it i would have
posted it if nobody posted it i would have gone and ripped it
like i have done for so many here and in soulseek
the thing about you is liked about you you always said it
short and sweet THANKS and really that was enough
Thank You
@ All EXCEPT THE ANONYMOUS CHILD
sorry for the massive of posting from me
at least you'll have time to play them in your own time
without me adding more
one word to say
THANKS
BTW
the Anonymous is none other than soulseeks one and only
sulky baby b1gdaddy when he does not like what someone
says or does this is the kind of thing he does and says
agains't the other person he likes to hide behind another user
name just like here. and he was known as bigdaddy in T/Z
read his comments you'll see what i mean from encounters
here some big name for someone who acts so child minded
he so twisted bitter anytime northern-madman
name is mentioned the reason he puts shit here is because
he can't do it in soulseek even under another user name
all you will ever be is a fool to yourself so carry on
regaurdless Dave as you can see i don't really give a shit
about people you or what ever you do
like it say in my profile once a dickhead always a dickhead
you've had my reply as far as im concerned
game over you lose yet again

The Soulful Side of GME & Musette Records (Tramp Rec.) (Flac)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MV1A4GU
Much interest domestically and abroad has been generated over the years about an indie soul label in San Diego, CA called Musette Records, whose short life span (1965-1968) only produced less than 20 singles, and no full albums. More than 40 years later, Musette would achieve the collectible status among record buyers of northern soul, who recognize and appreciate the R&B grooves that pulsated on these now extremely rare singles.

@ Northern madman
you don't have to apologize for sharing your music.
I'm not a great soul and northern soul lover but i know there a lot of people here that love you music share and also if don't take nothing i'm always happy when someone find something he was searching or something he don't know prior.
Except some anonymous guy that seem to want only to sow discord and don't want to made constructive discussion but love to be treated as "calimero" (is an italian cartoon character a black duck always complaing to be always black and alone) or have the "mayta syndrome" a recalled by Vargas Llosa (a leftist militant that choose always to be minority)
for this i hope that between some time you return sharing all your great music with us and isn't importat if you share again the same thing because there will be always another user haven't take it because is a newbie or forget to do first time
so take your time
but please return to share music
because on TZ there will be people who make request for soul music. Request that only few (you in primis are able to satisfy)
@ RYP
Thanks for the Wildweeds.
Thanks also for making this blog running !!!! As a lot of people here, I'm a TWZ addict and I like it, but without you this blog couldn't exist.
Sir RYP, I send you a million of thanks !
@ Northern_madman
I've allways loved the great voices of southern soul music and I have bought a lot of albums.
But,some years ago you began to share northern soul music on TWZ , very quickly I've appreciated, and then the virus has come and I've enjoyed it.
Whatever you'll make in the future, I wish you to continue to dance every week during a lot of years .
I know you have forbidden it , but I must tell it : Sir Northern_madman THANKs Thanks Thanks !!!
luis, where here was ever a constructive discussion ?
Only the same old advice always: take what you want and skip the rest.
Your other psychological explanations are neither helpful nor constructive.
@ anon guy
sure i'm not sorry for not being helpful or constructive or not be able to create a confort zone for you
You are for sure not a guy i wanna go hangin around and if you'll decide to not visit TZ in future for sure i'll be not sad
luis, sure I'll visit TZ from time to time also in future (but you must not be sad about this). After all, even every deconstructive visitor (like you) is convinced that it is the best blog on the Internet.
@ anon guy
come, go, do what you want, for me doesn't matter what you do.
ps Believe that my philosophy teacher will be happy now at last i'm become a decostructionist cause also if he always try to get me interested in Derrida i always prefer the old bearded uncles Mark & Fred and their materialism
many thanks jillem for the brilliant share of The Soulful Side of GME & Musette Records (Tramp Rec.) (Flac)
very much appreciated by this massive soul fan!
AND TO ANONYMOUS THAT HATES MADMAN YOU ARE A VERY SAD INDIVIDUAL INDEED!
enough said!
Bonsoir! I'm one of the silent majority here and I really try to understand all this brouhaha regarding those, as some say, ungrateful comments by one or two visitors - hey! only one or two - and the blogs hero is already on the leave. And all of the old and new noted contributors are paying tribute to the offended one.
May I ask is there something in the air or is this some kind of commie blog where all of us must think and do the same - except the chosen ones - see the first comment. Please explain what's happening or I'll think that all of you are a little bit of trumped up - whatever that means,and it may means a lot.
I'm anonymous but Im not that anonymous although I do support that anonymous.
So it was always here: Who does not represent the unity opinion, is despised as obnoxious. I am not that anonymous, but I divide his opinion. He speaks not only for himself. There are certainly more with the same opinion - not registered by Google user account - out there. But these just keep silent.
Hey! Yes I m not that anonymous and I must tell that I do support that anonymous that says I'm anonymous but Im not that anonymous although I do support that anonymous.
Well spoken Anonymous April 14, 2017 at 2:36 PM, hahaha .....
Nice that you support that anonymous that says I'm anonymous but I'm not that anonymous although I do support that anonymous.
but a divide opinion is a whole opinion or an half, a one third etc opinion?
Isn't better share something than divide
luis, you profi filesharer & joker - 1:0 OK - you know what was meant.
You are always the first who says thanks at daytime and you also must have the last word.
@luis, link reposter & blogger
What is with your own old blog ? Is it better for you to be in the comfort zone of TZ ? You have a better audience here ?
i have a create a blog seven years ago with my email name
i think i've published 7 or 8 post after decide its to call a quit from sharing
because i'm too lazy to decide to mantain it
i've decided to publish music on Tz only to reciprocate all the stuff i take
sure at begininning wasn't the only place where i share music. Initially i share the same stuff not only on tz, but also on exy and willard
but now tz is the only place where i publish music
don't know if i have a better audience here than on Exy or willard sure is the place where i find now more confortable.
I don't know if i have a better audience here because i really don't know how many download i made with my share being not registered
ps
maybe i'm a miser guy stay here because is his confort zone but al least i try to give back some of what i receive
but at least you're such better than me, indeed
being
unrespectful of other
don't give back nothing
how now only to criticize and spread strife
Well, regarding so called unity opinion there s no problem in unity as such, but here we have onemindedness and it s a shame bearing in mind
almost unanimously liberal orientation of the hardcore contributors so
blatantly manifested during the trumpshocked period some months ago.
But this is nothing new cause as the saying goes- the old liberals are the real new fascists-
and yes I'm not anonymous, but I m that anonymous although I do support anonymous who s not that anonymous and who supports that anonymous or something like that. Now, for me it s time to say good-bye. Bye-bye.
luis: "don't give back nothing"
(???)
1:1 now !
And I have so much love to share (not only opinions)
PS: We all should take life easier (we have only one)
Thanks so much for the Kate Bush!
