Guest dicklincoln72 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I have a few 60's Soul compilation albums and wondered if they are collectable and what they sell for. Here are a few examples all in good condition. Funky Bottom Congregation RCA 1970. A Drop Of The Hard Stuff Ember 1970 Sweet Soul Sounds Stateside 1968. This Is Chess 1969 The Sue Story UA 1965 Bells Cellar Of Soul Volume 3 1969. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Checkmates - Mastered The Art Of Love - always reminds me of Alan Walls opening tune at Glenrothes YMCA , mid 80's Edited March 27, 2010 by 123-motown Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest dicklincoln72 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 "Mastered The Art Of Love" featured Sonny Charles on lead vocals whilst the other Checkmates track "Do The Walk" features Bobby Stevens and according to the sleeve notes they went on to record for Phil Spector at A&M. I seem to remember they had a minor UK hit as Sonny Charles & The Checkmates in the UK but can't remember the title. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Bell's Cellar of Soul Vol 1 & 2 worth a few bob, dunno about Vol 3 cos don't know track listing.

Paul R Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 It was 'Black Pearl'. Probably the biggest was Proud Mary. Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I love these compilations. Back as a 15 year old soulie in 73, picking up a copy of Funky Bottom Congregation with the current big sound "Honest To Goodness", or A little Bit Of Soul, with "Blowing Up My Mind", and "Change Your Ways", was a great thing. And if I remember correctly, at the time they were regarded as a good thing to have. Unlike today with the anal "it's not the original US release and therefore not worth having" attitiude. They weren't bootlegs, and also were the original UK release. But that is a whole new thread! Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mick Howard Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I have a (knackered) LP on Polydor and it's associated with the NME. I'm at work so can't actually look at it but I think its from about 66/67 & it is very weird because along with the likes of the Who it has The Holidays & Big Dee Irwin! I also have an LP on Track called Liquorice All-Sorts with track by the Debonnaires, Parliaments and the like. It's a very PC album 'cos the title is also in braile.
