Lunar, have you seen the new adidas advert? Heavily influenced by the Northern scene but they should have picked a better tune. What would you suggest?

I've not seen that yet Stoner, I'll look out for it. I know Adidas are getting in the the Vespa act and as I'm a fan of both it's good.

1894- Glad you liked the Toys track mate. I first heard that on Soul Spin, a Kent records LP were were largely responsible for bringing the music to a new generation of mods and soulies in the 80's. A brainchild of Harboro Horace (Ady Croasdale 100 club DJ).

They did about 100 albums and these are some more I found that feature on Soul Spin (Kent 024)

Beggin's a good track IMO but since you asked off the top of my head I think these two would work with the advert, this one, because of the uptempo nature of the song [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM_atx0nOKE[/youtube]

Or this one because the lyrics suggest going somewhere special which fits in with the Vespa's

The latest raid of the rare soul archives by some advertising agency.

This one is the latest Visa advert.

More importantly the tune is Come on train by Don Thomas.

Another one form 'docludi' where he fuses old-time dance clips to fab soul sounds - Donnie Elbert 'Sweet Baby'. Be sure to check out the video links in the side-bars too.
