Richard Searling [2021] - Hot 100 Modern Soul 45s COMPLETE

These podcasts have all been posted individually but here's the compete series of 7 episodes of Richard Searling's Hot 100 Modern Soul 45s all in one place. 

I've spent many hours providing links to Discogs and to sound files on Spotify, in the first instance where available, and then YouTube if not available on Spotify. I had hoped to create a Spotify playlist but only 59 of the tracks are available, so instead I've created two playlists one for Spotify and one for YouTube.

Hot 100 Modern Soul 45s Spotify Playlist  (59 tracks) /  YouTube Playlist (41 tracks)

The original Searling podcasts are also below but between virtually every record he is advertising something which got rather irritating after a while so listen with or without ads, but he does add a few nuggets of information about many tracks. You can also listen to each track individually if you already know most of them as links are provided at the end of each listing.
