Greetings Pop Pickers!

These were the immortal lines of DJ, Alan Freeman in the 1970’s as he ran through the all important, Radio 1 Chart to reveal the week’s new number one. The music business has changed a lot since then but during that time, I’ve assembled a fantastic collection of music that I’d like to share with you.

You will find jazz, blues, soul, funk, motown, hip-hop and drum and bass, rock ‘n roll, rockabilly, psychobilly, psychedelic and classic rock, glam rock, punk, new wave, new romantic, pop, Bit pop, reggae, ska, world music and even some classical.

I hope you will find something to your liking to enjoy and share. Welcome to George’s Record Collection.

Solomon Burke

Solomon Burke - an enormous character in body and soul. A musical legend respected by his peers. Born in 1940, a preacher and contemporary of Martin Luther King, he combined spiritual soul with musical soul and gospel.

As he says, if you don't say it's wrong, you're saying that it's right. Never let a racist comment pass you by. Challenge it and confront it for the abomination that it is for, until it's irradicated from the world, none of us are free - whatever colour. Hatred has no bounderies, nor love; the choice is yours.
