Louise Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 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" Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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. 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.

Souljer6 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 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) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Anoraks Corner Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 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! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
