Hi All,
Recently got hold of a load of superb SOUL TRAIN episodes complete from a trader in the USA. Some of them were recorded I believe from Japanese TV. I dont think that theres any commercially available for sale, but blimey.......I wish there were. These shows ARE SO atmospheric. I seem to remember some being shown in the early 70s at around the same time as the SHAFT TV series was shown. Was it BBC 2 that aired these great shows ? It was too early for commercially available Video recorders, but are there any of these shows knocking about anywhere. This was GREAT TV.

I dont think that theres any commercially available for sale, but blimey.......I wish there were. These shows ARE SO atmospheric. I seem to remember some being shown in the early 70s at around the same time as the SHAFT TV series was shown. Was it BBC 2 that aired these great shows ? It was too early for commercially available Video recorders, but are there any of these shows knocking about anywhere. This was GREAT TV. Some clips were shown on the mid 80s channel four show "Solid soul"(which i fortunately taped and still have) Al Green Harold Melvin, Tina Turner, from what iv'e seen the show looked great, also there is a later show called "Solid Gold" which have similar types of music - also not released though there are clips on you T*** www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Dapf_NKcEwww.youtube.com/watch?v=hf1za52jpt0 |

I have clips of David Bowie performing on Soul Train, talk about being spaced out. I'm not sure if he'll be able to remember it.

I have the complete show that Bowie was on. I love Soul Music, I love Bowies stuff over the years, but Im afraid he looked like a fish out of water on the show. I thought the Soul Train crowd were generous in the reception they gave him and Don Cornelius gave him glowing praise, but he made a big mistake appearing on what was the best programme ever for Soul and funk music.
Eric.
