giradischi 15th Oct 2018 | | 12" SingleRoy Budd - The Theme From Get Carter (Lionrock Remix) | if you're partial to a remix, SIde One works pretty well especially the Lionrock mix which is closest to the original but does take it somewhere new.

(Side Two probably best avoided. I hope I never have to listen to Side Two -Track 2 again)

giradischi 17th Apr 2018 | | BookVarious Authors - The Soul Book | provided a great resource for those wanting to dig a little deeper into soul in the mid-70's pre-internet days. Clive Anderson's section on Memphis and southern studios particularly good. Only frustration was the page numbers in the comprehensive artist index always seemed to be about half a dozen pages out of sync !!
