The seventh edition of YHO was another ‘themed’ issue, and took as
its starting point a single salvaged for next-to-nothing by Joe Curtis on the
Spiral label, featuring This Is Love on
one side and Black is Beautiful on
the other. The cover features a photo of
two Motown cassettes which came in lovely matchbox style packaging. This issue began and ended with quotes from
Kitty Hauser’s excellent Bloody Old
Britain: O.G.S. Crawford and the Archaeology of Modern Life. A wonderful comment about this edition on the
Soul Source Forum was subsequently borrowed for the front page of the YHO site.
This
issue was the most ‘collaborative’ and featured some very important
contributions, like:
Ø
Brian Kotz (Back To Zero) on the early days of the 6Ts Rhythm
& Soul Society
Ø
Per-Christian Hille on The Aller Værste!
