I am, I find Daptone to be more Soul oriented and Colemine more Funk oriented, which is great. I do try to greatly limit the amount of Daptone releases I listen to as I can't afford to add another label I buy a lot of stuff from at this time

If I did I shouldn't replace it with anything at this financial point in life, I may have to drop stuff anywayjust drop VMP.

Colemine reminds me of the old Soul Fire label, but with better sounding records.
Soul Fire & Daptone both came out from the ashes of Desco, if I remember correctly. Soul Fire was more raw funk while Daptone essentially started with Sharon Jones. I think Soul Fire lasted only a few years. Still have several of their 45s and they're great.

Huh... soul fire basically became Truth and Soul, looks like Big Crown, Daptone and Colemine have most of their stuff now. In fact, the Bob & Gene release is the last thing they did in 2017 through Daptone.

Also you are right, origin is Desco.

Yep, that's right (but it was not exactly the same label heads if I recall - one of the Soul Fire guys left and the others started a new label). I think the Soul Fire CD compilation came out on Truth & Soul. Daptone reissued the Daktaris (Desco). The Whitefield Brothers was reissued by one of those guys too.
I have this fun Lp from Desco called "The Revenge of Mr Mopoji" - basically a fake 70s soundtrack and there's nothing on the release to make you think it was modern at the time (1997?). I'll take a photo when I get home. This record was basically recorded by The Dap Kings before they were The Dap Kings.
But I didn't realise Colemine actually picked up some of their stuff too though. No wonder I was immediately drawn in when I first heard the Soul Slabs. Though Colemine sounds better and is more varied, which I really love.

Here's that fake soundtrack LP from Desco. So there's nothing that suggests it's from the mid-nineties but it is. The back even has a 1974 copyright. Throwing in a pic of my Soul Fire 45s. Lots of good funk in there.

I went for a long run today and played the Soul Slabs Vol.2 in my iPod - yep, I'm old(school).
I never enjoyed running as much as today, with a truly kick ass soundtrack.
I think I reached song 20 (it was a long run!) and my favorite are:
A1-The Gripsweats
A2-Kelly Finnigan
A4-AJ and the Jiggawatts
B1-DeRobert and the half-truths
B3- Orgone
C1-Durand Jones & the Indicators
C2-The True Loves
and from my Disc 3 (E-F) played last night...
E3-Soul Scratch
F1-Ben Pirani
F2-The Freedom Affair
F5-The Rugged Nuggets --> this is by far my winner, a fantastic instrumental so chill that I played it several times in a raw without a hint of boredom!

Been falling down the Colemine hole in the ground like everyone else recently. While listening to Kelly Finnigan ( i mean just how great is that?), Evoking memories of Marc Broussard. His new live album (no vinyl unfortunately) has had me in bits tonight.
It’s bloody wonderful, especially if you ever loved his music at any time before.

Now if they would just press Christone Ingram's album I'd be happy!

Anybody got any Charley Patton on vinyl? I've found a copy of the Founder of the Delta Blues compilation but then saw Third Man put out his complete recordings over 4 LPs. Just wondering if anybody has either and any thoughts on them (I realise sound quality is pretty poor)

I feel like someone at the old place mentioned having this, but I can't remember who. I do think that person said that the pressing itself was good, but the quality of the actual recording was not so keep that in mind.

Is this the Blues thread? Or is there a stand alone Blues thread I've missed?
Does anyone have the Lightin' Hopkins - Strums the Blues, the 2019 Third Man Records reissue? Just curious if folks have opinions on the quality. Thanks!
