grantdyche Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Agree with many of the above "I Dig Your Act", Class pure class, Also don't think released as a single was a version of the Williams & Watson classic "Two For The Price Of One" On a cheapo album "Four For The Price Of One" Grant
Guest isis Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 At the moment "Whip It On Me" as its fresh to me but I know I'll go back to my big fav "I Dig Your Act' by the end of the month.
John Benson Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 yup, not as good tho' (IMHO). BRI PINCH, BENTINCK, BACK ROOM, 19TH JUNE. I hope you mean the Whatnauts version isn't as good as the O'jays version Bri - not the other way round?

'I Dig Your Act' my favourite 45 with 'Ship Ahoy' one of my all time favourite soul albums Mike

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ...either "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Yesterday)" or "Look Over Your Shoulder", really couldn't get it down to just one of those....
Guest s0ul45 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Plenty to choose from but 'Listen To The Clock On The Wall' blows me away every time.

ALIVE'N'KICKIN Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I think its a close race between HOLD ON and I'll NEVER FORGET YOU, Both are very classy songs, and it surely doesn't hurt that they are perfect to dance to.. Unstoppable.

dthedrug Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 my favourate is the classic lookey lookey on neptune its not there best but it was one of my very first inports, they were so rare in 1970 i thought i was the dogs with it, it must be alian to younger Soul BROTHERS AND SISTERS that finding such items was a bliss from above DAVE KIL
Guest mickeyb Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Best single - I love music Best LP - Backstabbers Best label - Neptune
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 For me i like Lipstick Traces but Love Train will always be there best ever track and for one it's the very few if not only track you will ever see on VH1 classic since there was a even a video shot for the track. Well it's the only O'Jays video i ever seen on VH1 classic or VH1 when they played really old video's
Stuart Bower Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Agree with soulmanash The O`Jays put out quite a few crackers but "I`ll Never Forget You" and "I Dig Your Act" stick out for me. Edited June 19, 2009 by The Big Lebowski
Guest posstot Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I love all the O'jays 60's stuff, Imperials' output mainly, but there Bell recordings too, but not really a fan from Neptune onwards. So on from that...here are what i like of theree output. I'll never let you go. A solid detroit production, with a heavy mid tempo beat, much in the same vein as "I'll never forget you". It wont hurt. This track appeared on the flip of "You can't keep a good man down" The Gentlemen Four on Wand a 450+ squid tune, and it ain't a match for this version by the O'jays, and its 20 to 30 quid at the most. Brilliant mid pace-mid tempo Group vocal with great detroit feel production again. Let it all out. A mid pace, So Soulful, group vocal again. But more of a 'big city' feel in production. Yet an arabian, almost, feel to the Arrangement brings this into the mellow side of tings. A Beautiful track. Girl Machine. WoW WeE i wanna pee!! starts off with a guitar riff solo, and off it goes, with strong arrangement from Mr.H.B Barnhum chugging along with a good old fashioned "northern" feel and a doo wop tinged vocal backing. Yet it drives on, with breaks in all the right places. A driving early "Northern" Dancer. Whip it on me baby. More H.B production with a Basic Latin feel, but a driving beat and vocals to match. This is a WINNER!! How tunes like this are negleted, for the whole, is beyond me. That's Enough. A slightly earlier release 62? or 3. Again more chugging rhthym from it's arranger...H.B again. A bit of a winner with the RnB crowd. How does it feel. As above. There's a couple more I'm sure, yet i can't reccollect at the Mo. All these above tunes are on Imperial by the way. None of them bank breakers and well worth the Moo-lar!! Mike.

oldsteve woomble Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Monster from each era ...... Well, upto the 8ts anyway....( "Love You To Tears" from '97 was ok ("You Can Make Me Fall in Love Again - Artie's Mill spin ) but not in the same league for me....) 60's..... Lipstick Traces https://www.youtube.c...h?v=icMs7-EsjNw 70's.... I Love Music (12" version) https://www.youtube.c...h?v=y5W0ET-H10A 80's.... Put Our Heads Together (12")
tof Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Even if I love their 70's stuffs (Backstabbers was one of the first soul Lp I've bought), definitly my 2 favs are "lipstick traces" and "I'll never forget you", just pure class!!!
Alan Pollard Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Hi, I just love "Time to get down" magic, Regards Alan

Unstoppable. there are too many to list, most are classy in one way or another. at a push it would be i'm so glad i found you" deeper in love with you lipstick traces. i'll never forget you i dig your act. imho all class records. only stuffi don't care for is the period on astroscope bit messy 70's stuff. george kerr great writer/producer on the best tracks.
