MY BLOG

Hello my friends.
I uploaded this Blog many years ago, because I love music. To me, music is a way of living. Through this space, I want to promote fine Soul, Funk and Jazz music (rare or not rare). Here you will find outstanding topics so you can enrich your knowledge and be entertained as well. Yet, I would like to complain because some bloggers share entire albums with others whether they have the records or have the tracks from other bloggers. I don’t think it’s fair for some of us to pay in order to buy the records and others to find them free through Blogs. Perhaps it’s not the same when someone owns a record compared to another who has only the tracks. But honestly I want you to answer to one question (not to me but to yourselves). Anyone of you – after a reasonable period of time – is capable of presenting them as their own stuff. Thanks.

For this reason I don’t share my tracks.

There are also many collectors and bloggers who are after rare records without paying any attention on the quality of the tracks.

I would like to thank some special friends and people who helped me a great deal. First and foremost I want to thank my friend Nicolas Drosos who was always a friend and a brother to me. Sadly Nicolas passed away in 2021. Also special thanks go to George Polychroniou (G.Poly) a huge collector in Greece. I would like to thank a special gentleman from England for his unconditional help. THANKS JOHN FROM MY HEART.

Note:
Some of the tracks related to rare topics on this Blog, are not going to be heard on the whole because they can easily be stolen thanks to today’s technology.
