Too many to mention!!

LP's are just SOOOOOOO underrated it's untrue.

Many a time you buy an LP for a known LP only track, and then find other little gems on there!

Or some are just packed full of great tunes that were released on single.

Ralph Graham, Sonny Til, James Brown, Garland Green, Jerry Butler, Marvin & Tammi but to name a tiny handful.......All done amazing LP's packed with great tunes.

I've no doubt this thread will go many ways - great LP's full of tunes, LP's with superb LP only tracks, discussions about playing a tune of an LP when it has a single release etc

BUT

All fantastic healthy debate, so well done to the original poster, hopefully it will throw up some nice finds!!

The 'Nolan' album has 'Keep On Keepin On', 'Oh Baby' and ' If Only I Could Be Sure' - but generally its a bit weird!

The Gloria Jones LP you mention has a first side that is crammed with dancers - every track - but comes in at under 10 mins!!

Played The Esquires - Get on up and get away LP the other day.

I hadn't played it for yonks, forgot how good it was.

Superb choice, but "Born Free" set is equally as good, packed with movers and incredible ballads, big big fave up here in the NE.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice !! Never seen that before !!

Is the 'My Hearts On Fire' the same tune as Billy Bland on Old Town ?? Any good ?? What's the album like as a whole ??

Luverly luverly luverly..

Fingers

PS Whilst I'm on I might as well make a nomination from oh, soooo many.. Jackie Wilson's 'Soul Galore' LP - I'm fortunate to have a spanking UK Coral copy & really champion the LP only offerings 'Everything's Gonna Be Fine' and 'Your Loss My Gain' NB: All the other tracks on the album were released as A & B sides on 45's.. Possible the two I mention were destined for 45 but didn't happen ?? Food for thought.. ??

My favourite LP's are

Jackie Wilson - Higher and Higher - for the song Open the door To Your Heart. My other favs are

Isley Brothers - This Old Heart of Mine

Jimmy James - A New Religon

Percy Sledge - When a Man Loves a Woman some slow songs on it but great album

Enough said.

Thats the one with the Esquires versions of "Things Won't Be The Same" - Mill Evans and "When I'm Ready" - Mill Evans, if I remember correctly?

Soul portrait - Willie Hutch RCA. Contains several really good tracks
