Got about 24 on the label, and I love em all, Manhattans stuff is sublime, "Follow your heart" and "Baby I,m sorry" 2 from the top drawer IMHO for starters. Kev

Both the Harry Caldwell releases are great:

"Nobody Loves Me/Please Come Back" and "A New World Is Just Beginning/Nobody Loves Me"

Always Liked Kenneth Ruffin "Cry,Cry ,Cry/I'll Keep Holding On" and the Turner Brothers" My Love Is Yours Tonight"

And from the sweeter side of things:

The Symphonies"That's What Love Will Do"And my favorite Manhattans song "When We're Made As One"

Also the modern soul anthem by the Pretenders "Just Be Yourself"

I was going to mention that, you gave me a whole Carnival tape early 80's and myself, Craig B Ady H set off buying anything we could on the label, never did ask you why you collected this label specifically given your love of all things Detroit.

As people say it really is a fantastic label and as Gilly says the Kent CD's are essential to any lovers of all things soulful,

No balearic nonsence on this label. :lol:

Found scans of this tough to find Jimmy Jules demo copy on my harddrive...

That looks very like my copy mate, a little scuffed, think I got it last 5 years off Ebay to replace an issue I gave away, always thought this was one of the hard ones no?

Have quite a few recorded can put up as soon as Mike emerges from the Engine room, all covered in oil and blood, finally having fixed refosoul. :yes:

There is a 12" from a few years back,grey label with the unicycle on it.......from 2000 i think ?

New Jersey Connection - Love Don't Come Easy, think its on a 7" too, will try and dig it out for later, haven't listened to this for years, suspect it may be a bit funky for Mr Gilbert's ears though......

Woops just seen the 2000 Ken, thought this one was a lot earlier than that.

Carnival actually had detroit connections via writer George Clinton (I think he at least wrote the Pets record if not others).

I've seen some Carnival 12 inch records with nite life written across the label. Is this the same for the New Jersey Connection 45? Are the Nite Life ones reissues?

Sublime..Beautiful..of another world.

The music on this label is for me some of the finest soul music ever recorded with productions way ahead of their time and probably touched by the hand of The Almighty. There are so many but of the less obvious tracks try listening to Phil Terrell's "I'm just a young boy" or The Lovettes b side "I'm afraid" or....well I could go on and on.

I remember not giving the label a lot of time in my younger years.Later Gilly of course used to bang on about it and credit to him but it was the cd series that did it for me. I had bought most of the Kent albums and cds. They were and still are in a different league from virtually everything else, put together with heart and love for the music. But Ady's finest moment must be his Carnival moment. These cds are for me the greatest compilation of any genre of music EVER imo. Cant say more than that .....but without Ady's dedication the world would be a less musical place.

(OK Ady, thats the winners of the fancy dress sorted then)

A couple of more northern sounding one's:

Curby Goggins "Leave Me If You Want To" and Leon & The Metronomes "I'll Catch You On The Rebound"

Dave.W

What about the sudsiduary label Chadwick?

Metric's "Wishes" and Topic's "Hey Girl"

Really rate the Little Royal...

LITTLE ROYAL - YOU KNOW (YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU) - CARNIVAL -

Should persevere with this a little more.

Little Royal was a minor spin for Keb back in the day...here's the WD variant.

Also, here's an original demo of the Topics, which suffered from being bootlegged.

I would post a scan of the 7" Jimmy Jules acetate I have for 'Let yourself go', but it doesn't have any labels so looks a tad boring!

:lol:
