Lovingly known as Soulboy Jim to us or James to his real mates..." Here is a small selection of some of the stuff that i'm really loving at the moment, i'm a big fan of Stax and so the Gospel Truth CD is really up my street, i haven't got £400 to spend on the original Billy Byrd 7" so the Soul7 reissue will just have to do. I don't know why i like the Virgo Four it's not normally not my thing but this one does it for me and i love a bit of Chicago house now and again. I've got loads of web orders to pack so i'm afraid i'll leave it there" Check out his selection below!
1. Gospel Truth -The Gospel Soul and Funk of Stax Records (Bgp)
2. Dick Khoza - Chapita (Matsuli)
3. Jerline and friends - Joy Trip (Street Soul)
