Various Artists - Carm,s R&B Groovers Vol 1 (1982) - Rare Northern Soul/R&B (FLAC)

Nearly 40 years ago i was a member of an audio sharing group on yahoo run by a then well known DJ called Carmen McCullough. We used to send in our mp3,s on a rota to share among the members, about 50 of us i think. She used to post out the CD,s and i again stumbled over a few i still had a few months ago. There is a member on this blog who was also on that forum but sadly we have both lost touch with carmen over the years, last time i saw her was at another great guys funeral about 20 years ago who we both know very well. Somehow myself and kansas joe got talking about that forum and he thought he had the reast of the CD,s but unfortunately they didnt play. So i thought you guys might be interested in what i was listening to way back then, so i have ripped the first one and we,ll see how it goes. i have 5 more in the the pipeline. Most were played out on the NNS and we even organised a few Dayers to meet up and have a drink and dance....happy days! All these records were ripped from the original 45,s and originally converted to mp3 so accept or not the hics & bumps but what great "sounds" they are and no mistake!

Very old school comp from the early days. Look foreward to it. Shame about KJ's copies but sometimes it is possible to recover the data using software.

It's sad to lose touch with someone and be left wondering where they are or what happened to them but she did leave you a connection through the music. Looks excellent. Thanks.

Tremendous story. I love collecting stories. I must have been drunk or down with vertigo to miss this baby.
