Late Night Tales Presents: Automatic Soul (Vinyl)It is 1983 and youve just stepped into your Ford Capri with your girlfriend Julie. You live in Harlow, but in your head youre really somewhere near Salou in Spain, next to your yacht. But the thing you really love is soul and they play nothing but at Sups in Loughton. OK, so Its not 1983 at all. Its 2014, but listening to this electrofied soul, will put you back in the zone. Tom Findlay, one half of Grammy nominated Groove Armada, has put this

It is 1983 and you’ve just stepped into your Ford Capri with your girlfriend Julie. You live in Harlow, but in your head you’re really somewhere near Salou in Spain, next to your yacht. But the thing you really love is soul and they play nothing but at Sups in Loughton. OK, so It’s not 1983 at all. It’s 2014, but listening to this electrofied soul, will put you back in the zone. Tom Findlay, one half of Grammy-nominated Groove Armada, has put this collection together: a stamp of authenticity in itself. Tom has also put a few of these through the edit wringer, reworking many of the tunes for maximum towelling sockability. You’ll probably recognise a few tunes. There’s Mtume’s incredible ‘Juicy Fruit’, still sounding advanced and modern, while ‘I Specialize In Love, mixed by disco legend Tee Scott, is even older yet sounds equally perky. The 1980s was a period that was pretty much owned by Minneapolis thanks to Prince and former cohorts Jam & Lewis and the latter weigh in with a pair of killer productions, Thelma Houston’s ‘You Used To Hold Me So Tight’ and Alexander O’Neal’s ‘What’s Missing’. And since this is Late Night Tales, there is always our exclusive cover version, this time done by Findlay and Tim Hutton’s Sugardaddy, who’ve delivered an ace version of ‘Don’t Look Any Further’.Grab yourself a bar stool, order a cocktail, take a sip and make believe you’re lying on a shagpile carpet with the soul star of your dreams.

Automatic Soul, like my previously compiled Late Night Tales Music For Pleasure, is based very much on a sound. It's a sound that I feel has been overlooked: 80s R&B-infused music, with drum machines, synths and invariably brilliant vocals. It’s formed the bedrock of my rare groove sets for all the years I’ve played. It’s not the most fashionable, but to me it’s the perfect marriage of technology and soul, hence the title for this album, Automatic Soul. There are plenty of songs I could have included, and no doubt some that I shouldn’t, but I’ve tried to represent what’s best to me from this era. It’s not a classic Late Night Tales. It’s a pretty personal journey, which I hope some of you might be willing to share… Tom Findlay Groove Armada September 2014

Poor Quality for the Cost !!! Dissatisfied
Disappointed Durability. I love these heels they are very comfortable looks good with just about any color outfit . However, my heart ripped in pieces after 3 months with limited wear they began to lift and fall apart . I’m very dissatisfied with the cost & poor quality slippers I received. I wish I could actually returned it but couldn’t due to the 30 days return policy.

Steve Madden must have
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
You can’t go wrong with any Steve Madden shoe to be honest. These are sexy yet sturdy. Nice thin versatile heel. Strap length is good for any size ankle really

Comfortable
Size: 8, Color: Natural Snake
These shoes are cute, and go with most everything. They are comfortable and can be work for while without having any issues. I was a bit worried they might rub blisters but have not had that problem with these. The heel and fit of them are perfect. And they are versatile. Worth the price.

Small toe box BUT SOO cute
Size: 8.5, Color: Natural Snake
Very cute but if you have wide toes and typically require a wider toe box you’ll end up with blisters if you walk a lot in them.

Cute but uncomfortable
Size: 6.5, Color: Black Leather
I’m usually a size 6. I got a 6.5, they fit perfect. Super cute, but just from trying them on and walking around my fit we’re already turned red. Still going to wear them to my event but I’m in for one lol
