Did a name check on this thread and it returned negative so I'm gonna give a big shout out for The California Playboys "Trying to become a Millionaire" on Loadstone.

What a cracking album only 6 tracks but if my memory served me right Butch or Sam used to fill the floor with the title track. I still love it to this day 5.48 minutes of quality soul dance heaven. Spun it a few times over the years while out but never had the same effect.

Check out Double Love and "she's a real sweet woman " too name a couple more tracks. A quality soul album with rarity thrown in. It's never turned up in quantity or even handfuls,but the title track is a killer.

Cant see that anybody has put the Aussie only Sue Barker LP up, two tracks of note, Groovin, which is a cover of the well known now 'Standard' I guess, great version, and the Brilliant 'Love to the People'... this LP is/was pretty common in Oz, I came across quite a few copies in my time there, but these days it goes for sill money on Ebay, i paid $60 Aud, which I thought was too much at the time, never been any logic to record collecting has there... :ohmy:

The Metros - Sweetest One RCA Victor album holds of course their brilliant version of 'I'll Never Forget You' but the hidden gem of the album is 'I'm With You All The Way' certainly an album only track this punchy Pied Piper production has yet to have it's day on the scene, awesome track that simply has it all.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I like "Egyptian Love" best from that LP.

Oh thanks for posting this had it on tape many years ago of Richard Foster he turned me and my brother onto more kinds of soul music always be grateful to him and Jan Barker too the line at the end hit me like a hammer when Eddie sings "your love is like cancer, spreading all over me"what a depth of mind to write that...brilliant deep soul..

Love it Greg. Simple instrumentation and pure cool vocals.

When does it date from (it has the feel of one of those 70's gospel tracks that took it's inspiration from 60's soul) ?

Agreed, it's just dripping in soul....dated from 1979.

What about 'You Know The Score' - Willie and The Mighty Magnificents

Isn't this Lp track only and the album itself is as rare as hen's teeth too?

I remember this being a play of either Alex Jones or Phil Wainwright late 8t's. Alex if my memory serves me!
