Shinehead Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Another batch of lp,s that still get loads of plays at my place. Shirley Brown = Intimate Storm Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose = Big Time Lover + Greatest Hits. Edwin Starr = Soul Master + Edwin & Blinky David Porter= Victim of the joke Al Wilson Searching for the Dolphins Johnnie Taylor= Super Taylor Don Covay = Super Dude Sandra Wright = Wounded Woman ( mentioned before and i agree no duff tracks). Dorothy Moore =More Moore Frankie Lee =Going back home Otis Clay =This time around +I,ll treat you right. Womack & Womack = Love wars
Garethx Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) It's hard to argue with any of the choices mentioned so far in the topic: I think I own every one! The albums that have sustained me through decades are: The Poet I by Bobby Womack (even though it's probably not his best work it's the album which got me into all of this as a current release and side two is just masterly. "If You Think You're Lonely Now" has rightfully become the anthem of soul music from the 80s); The Many Grooves of Barbara Lewis (so complete and so beautifully put together); Here To Stay by Darrell Banks (soul perfection from every conceivable angle); Send My Baby Back by Freddie Hughes (a virtuoso singer's one shot at fame, still cruelly under-rated); Friction by The Soul Children (a sumptuous and adult work, to me the very pinnacle of Southern Soul as a commercial artform); Hold On by Tommy Tate (one of soul's greatest ever artists at his creative peak); and last but not least, Terry Callier's monumental What Color Is Love (still impossible for me to listen to "Dancing Girl" and not be mesmerised and moved by it).

Shinehead Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Great to have a few album buyers on ss which seems 45 orientated , which i appreciate because its mainly a northern site . Buts its nice to partake in something a little different . Keep em coming i,ll try to check out the albums i do not know.
Guest Paul Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) i,m a loser Doris Duke Caught up and Still caught up Millie Jackson Sex & Soul Roy C Home is where the heart is Bobby Womack A Dramatic Experience The Dramatics Gag a Maggot Swamp Dogg Got to agree with most of those selections. I think I still know every lyric and line from Caught Up and Still caught Up. I remember buying Still Caught Up as a new import from the Contempo store ...only for my sister to wear it out within months. And Roy C was unique. Paul Edited May 27, 2009 by Paul
Guest Paul Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Sam Dees-Show must go on Jimmy Lewis-Totally Involved Dells-Sweet as funk can be (don.t be fooled by title) Originals-Portrait Greg Perry-One for the road Hesitations-Born Free Temptations-Getting ready Lifestyle-Lifestyle Bobby Womack-Communication 9th Creation-Reaching for the top Lamont Dozier-Out here on my own Lamont Dozier-Peddlin music Shirley Brown-Blessed is a woman Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes-I miss you Ojays-Family reunion Millie Jackson-Lovingly yours To name a few, theres that many Kev Signs of another misspent youth there, Kev. I still play most of those albums on a regular basis - and others such as Laura Lee's Hot Wax albums and Freda Payne's Contact album on Invictus. A hell of a lot of pleasure for the price of a few school dinner tickets all those years ago ...no wonder we were all so skinny. Best wishes, Paul

Dorothy Moore =More Moore Frankie Lee =Going back home Otis Clay =This time around +I,ll treat you right. Womack & Womack = Love wars I still love those Don Covay albums. 'Leave Him' is a masterpiece. Like Roy C, he had a style all of his own.
Guest Paul Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 very rare to find a solid lp all the way through though these go one as every track a winner Jimmy Lewis - Totally involved .(probably my favourite lp of all time ) Bobby Bland - Get on down. David Lasley- missin twenty grand Garland Green- jealous kinda feller Jackie Wilson - Beautiful day ( probably my favourite lp of all time mk11!) Paul Kelly - hooked hogtied and collared Sam Dees- Show must go on and if CDs are allowed David Ruffins awsome -"David" album there could be hundreds more but these for me all all thrillers no fillers Another great selection, Adam - especially Garland Green, Jackie Wilson and Sam Dees. I only wish Anette Snell had cut an album with Paul Kelly for Dial. It would have been a monster. But that's an idea for an another thread ...favourite albums which don't exist.
Garethx Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I still love those Don Covay albums. 'Leave Him' is a masterpiece. Like Roy C, he had a style all of his own. I rarely play the Don Covay albums from start to finish these days, but as you say Paul, tracks like "Leave Him" and "A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste" are truly exceptional pieces of soul music from a master craftsman and a true original. Ask Mick Jagger. One I forgot to mention is Jimmy Lewis's "Totally Involved". Strangely I've never really played side two from start to finish that much but consider side one to be as good a twenty minutes by a single artist as ever committed to tape. An artist who probably won't get much of a mention here that I keep going back to is Alicia Myers. Her three MCA albums stand up really well as cleanly produced, well written and exceptionally soulful: Detroit's last stand in the soul mainstream perhaps.
Eddie Hubbard Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I also prefer albums to '45's , here's some of my faves : With love from - The Lovelites [ UNI ] Too many people in one bed - Sandra Phillips [ Special Agent UK ] This is - Eleanore Mills [ Astroscope ] The Poet 2 - Bobby Womack [ Beverly Glen ] This close to you - Luther [ Cotillion ] Detroit Spinners on Atlantic [ Ist album ] Jealous kind of fellow - Garland Green [ UNI ] Songs of the big city - Clyde McPhatter [ Mercury ] Whispers - Jackie Wilson [ Brunswick ] I'm gonna miss you - Artistics [ Brunswick ] An album full of Soul [ Stateside various ] Sweetest thing this side of heaven - Chris Bartley [Vando ] Put your tears away - Jackie Edwards [ Island ] Soulful Road - New York City [Chelsea ] And lots of the choices made already , great thread !! Best ,Eddie

Guest Goldwax Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Terry Callier's monumental What Color Is Love (still impossible for me to listen to "Dancing Girl" and not be mesmerised and moved by it). A beautiful album Gareth and Dancing Girl is indeed a moving, unique piece of music (and I think a brave choice for an opening track). I always go back to Otis' Pain In My Heart LP - the disc that got me into all this in the first place.
Eddie Hubbard Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 jj barnes/steve mancha-RARE STAMPS-brilliant album never tire of hearing it, thanks for the wedding present mr coleby Great choice Harry - forgot that one !! Best ,Eddie
