Britmusicsoulfan Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi All, I just popped the Four Tops' Night LIghts Harmony LP on ABC onto the turntable and am really enjoying it. I haven't heard a lot of the post-Motown LPs. Are there any others I should check out? Many thanks, Tim Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Just off the top of me head "Main Street People" is excellent "Keeper Of The Castle" "Tonight" (with their version of "All I Do") Which co-incidentaly I'm playing on the show on Sunday (how does that not surprise me)! Also worth checking out is the wonderful "Love Enough To Care" from '79 currently available on Soul Intention 7"........

Nickinstoke Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 "Keeper of the castle" is a must - includes their (original??) version of "Love music" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Glynthornhill Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Meeting Of The Minds 1974 ABC has Lawrence Payton on vocals sublime ' Tell Me You Love ' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Perception Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 "Keeper of the castle" is a must - includes their (original??) version of "Love music" Lambert and Potter wrote it, but as great as the Four Tops are, the Sergio Mendes version is the masterpiece!

Guest Adrian Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Catfish is really good, Stung Out on Your Love as mentioned, Feel Free & Love Don't Come Easy and both ace. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Douglaschip Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (It would almost) drive me out of my mind - from the 'Night lights harmony' album is a great track that Matt 'the face' from Trowbridge used to play - we both discovered it was around on a 45 in the same week! Well worth picking up. Adam Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Their last ABC album "At The Top" is a good one, as it was recorded in Philly under the supervision of Norman Harris. Their second Casblanca album "One More Mountain" is also worth getting, if only to own their great version of Ronnie McNeir's "Light My Fire" a.k.a. "Keep On Lightin' My Fire". But I'd have to say that, for me and as cited already, the best non-Motown Four Tops album will always be "Keeper Of The Castle", which is as good as any of their 60s Motown albums and better than several of them.
