SOUL A:M RECORDS 1986 THE DANCE DECADE

Music lovers of the World and Beyond It is indeed your time again. Whilst this week’s synopsis in pre-production, as you can see, this week’s excursion managed to break the 4-hour mark and rightly so! For this episode stands as the Milestone Episode 40th anniversary edition, and it is Big, so contact your provider and subscribe to the mega data package... If indeed you are on the go? Welcome back to your Memories that reside within the Star-Date 1986, the year I managed to nail the Mega-Mix featured  within this week’s edition of Soul A:M Records...Vinyl Uncut.

We return to the pinnacle of production values this Soul A:M Sunday as the main ingredients that have created dance music continues to define the gold standard into 1985.   Record stores became the  institutions for musical knowledge, Whilst bragging rights would sadly creep in certain individual DJs ego’s would not only vie for priority status! But act like they somehow owned the sole rights to play a record ? I never understood this as it was supposed to be about the music! Always.   The disc jockeys term faded into 80s Jocks morphed into DJs around 81/83 whilst also started to transition away from mailing lists being supplied directly from the record labels, over to experiencing the unboxing ceremonies in store witnessing the couriers delivered the imports right to the countertop fond memories indeed.   Popularity around Soul music would once again influence every institution reminiscent of the decade before. Like Disco from what we wore! Very light, Very bright garments representing good times, popular music term pop! Would incorporate the sounds of Soul. Top of the pops TOTPs Top Pop in Europe would update their productions to represent the Soul scene to reflect the Clubs and then something wonderful happened, Friday 6pm is Soul Train which would later rebrand into Solid Soul a channel 4 production that became the launchpad to so many UK artists..   This depiction of 1985 is but a personal depiction of my transformation into the vastly rewarding musical timeline, But thankfully for many of you! It will reflect yours… Invoking memories of which lay dormant deep within your inner minds until you press play, I sincerely hope that this production makes your day.   Welcome back to the Star-Date 1985 dedicated towards keeping my records alive…🎶 MJ Soul A:M Records rights reserved

The year that I have always deemed Soul Music got it So-Right returns this week due to last week’s production was served to you not as a filler! [Shorter Maybe!] But a viable representation as an alternative when both family and friend commitments tearing straight through the expectation of my attendance. So! As the perfect makeweight over this last Bank Holiday weekend in the United Kingdom alongside the return of summer rain. Expect an Unfiltered, Undiluted & Unmissable excursion crackles, Pops and all back to a year that Armageddon was seconds away… 1. The all true to life Filmographies BBCs Treads & ABCs The Day After gave us more than a hint that if they do press the Button? We will de-age back to the storage,  2. And another pandemic that rhymed with braids! Was linked to the introduction of bottled beers to this very day!  3. What did we do!  Of course, Dance the Nights & Days away… Next time we may not be Soul-Lucky?

This Soul A:M Sunday the definitive series continues as you will rewind time and hear & feel the magnitude of a DJs delight as I transport you back to the star-date 1983. Once demonised by the mainstream to stem the flow of disco’s growth the evolution of the dance continued to expand through all new Hi fidelity production values that will set the scene for Soul music to expand these newfound  values further. Within the craft of song writing, music production incorporating the urban beats from the streets, word smiths pencil in hand, Ready to capture the harsh realities by depicting their pasts. Night clubs had over-spilled in the UK into Disco pubs with punters eager to hear the latest sounds when the club DJs were in your high street or town, whilst in London’s Southbank Be boppers and fly girls with Lino in hand were eager to get down. The Record store became the hallowed turf, we hung out to buy the latest Street sounds and state-side imports like George Duke, Larry Wu & Tyrone Brunson’s the Smurf, Uk artists were established and that was nice as the Uk singles and LPs were sold at a cheaper price. Music served undiluted and free’ as your soul should be… Welcome back to the Star-Date 1983, MJ,
