A briliant stable of labels full of great music across the spectrum of soul and rnb and I am sure at least one release from this set of 3 labels is in everybodys list .

I have an old tape off John Powney which has a great un-released One-derful track by Syl Johnson titled " I've been talked about " . I often wonder who that went too or who's collection it is now in as I have never heard it out and it should be heard just great .

A mate of mine got an unissued acetate of hers, fabulous it is too. Don't Try To Explain I think it's called.

Al Coney bought some old OneDerful reels years ago. Think they just need transferring to summat more playable

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Otis Clay Showplace absolutely brilliant

Otis Clay "Tired Of Falling In And Out Of Love".............. an all time fave.

Otis Clay "That's How It Is".............. fond memories of singing this with the man himself.

Otis Clay - Oh Bugger it.... all the Otis Clay's.

Simply Magnificent.

Scanned down hoping nobody had mentioned the awesome 'Behave yourself' but I agree, absolutely brilliant record. Unique, top notch production and one of the best if not the best Youthful Soul vocals I've ever heard!

Glad to see BEVERLEY SCHAFFER getting a mention too, a lovely midtempo girly tune, if anybody has one in good nick, I have a home for it!

All in all, what with THE ADMIRATIONS, ULTIMATIONS etc, these labels really do represent some of the best value-for-money quality 60s Soul releases that you can buy and I absolutely cherish my copies.

LIZ LANDS - DON'T SHUT ME OUT - ONE-DERFULL -

LIZ LANDS - ONE MAN'S POISON - ONE-DERFULL -

Some of my favourites are:

Harold Burrage - A Long Way Together (great B side)

Five Dutones - Nobody But My Baby (bouncy sound, reminds me of CODs-Michael)

Does a record on one of these labels share similar backing track to Morris King's - Broadway Time?

Maybe I'm imagining it, but I thought there was one by Otis Clay or Johnny Sayles but I can't remember what it is.

Alan

I'm adding this one to my list too. Great! Thanks!
