Guest audiavant Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 The Brothers-not Northern And no way soul!
Paul Shirley Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Judy Freeman & Black Rock for the full title. If any seasoned Soul fans from Norwich are reading this then they may know a guy called Paul Moore (Moorso) and they may remember that we used to sing Paul Moore to the refrain of Hold On (go on, put it on and sing it and you'll see....). Mick just sold it . could never understand what the fuss was about .words are inprinted in my head everytime i played it .once saying over the mic i think thats called er? hold on . anyway eah to there own for me its got to be the exciters
Wayoutgirl Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Hang on a minute......What about 'Can't Help Loving You'-Paul Anka......Brilliant in every way.... [/quote one of my favourites and have 3 copies of it (Don't ask me why cos I don't know)
grantdyche Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 The Brothers-not Northern And no way soul! Funny you should say that,Because i said the same back in 76-77, It did not stop myself or other people dancing to it,Or the same people buying it BACK IN THE DAY, It was played at ns venues so what more do you want,, And it WAS released on R.C.A.
Codfromderby Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 the old "elvis sound alike" roy hamilton does it for me with heartache hurry on by, closlely followed by sharon scott "id like to know" and the metros since i found my baby, both sharon scott and the metros were tracks i remember from years ago when you got records cheap and eventually sold them for whatever reason, the roy hamilton track i heard for the first time about 3 years ago, and wow, its just perfection,

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 For me my fav track on RCA is also my fav Northern soul track Sam Cooke - Sugar Dumpling - everything about that song makes me want to dance and even have it as my ringtone. other tracks close to my fav's Beverly Ann - He's Coming Home Laura Greene - Moonlight Music and Me Paul Anka - When We Get There
Guest POTTERIESPECK Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 percy wiggins. -- it did'nt take much.
Guest DeeJay Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 like most of you I've known and loved all of the obvious northern things, but I only heard Sonny Til - "Tears and misery" for the first time about 3 years ago, and it still makes me shiver ! https://www.youtube.c...h?v=RosBg3P8XC4 cheers, Denny Thanks for this post, nice choon, just added to the want list. How much does it go for-anyone?. With regards to my fave, must admit first record to pass through my mind was same as Mark (Faye Crawford) but it is tough there have been some beauties. DJ
Baz Atkinson Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS -STRIP ME NAKED. this is mine along with the hit parade -stand by me baby and ofcourse -donnie elbert along came pride!! BAZ A Edited August 23, 2010 by baz atkinson
Guest Nick Harrison Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Hang on a minute......What about 'Can't Help Loving You'-Paul Anka......Brilliant in every way.... Shame I would of thought Phil you could have moved away from the orange play safe labels with white graphics, turn it up eighties my lad - The Jammers, Micheal Wycoff and Kenny Burke. But thanks to Baz M for Everett Blood Hollins 1 x RCA offering How Have You Been RCA 10114 and the later RCA 11373 - Heaven Must Have Known. Edited August 24, 2010 by Nick Harrison
Mrtag Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 The Metro's - "Time Changes Things" one of their cheapest and yet in mho one of their best brilliant for a "B" side!!
Simsy Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Have them both and love them both, but 'Shook Me Up' just edges 'Crackin Up' for RCA Victor niceness.
Mrtag Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 For me my fav track on RCA is also my fav Northern soul track Sam Cooke - Sugar Dumpling - everything about that song makes me want to dance and even have it as my ringtone. other tracks close to my fav's Beverly Ann - He's Coming Home Laura Greene - Moonlight Music and Me Paul Anka - When We Get There I thought you were going to miss this one!! and it was started with you in mind!! Atb John.
KevH Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) For me.. The Exciters - Blowing up my mind Cause it's f**kin awsome - just never tire of this stormer! ATB Greg.. Adey played this at the 100.First time i'd danced to it since i was 18. 2 Carolyn's to throw in the mix - Cooke - I dont mind Franklin - Reality (Torch tune? PD?). And Bobbettes - Face the world. Edited August 23, 2010 by KevH
Markw Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 So many great tunes from this label, it's a hard one to call. Two that I love at opposite ends of the spectrum which I don't think I've seen on this thread: Bill Harris - Am I Cold, Am I Hot Kenny Carter - I've Got To Find Her
steve Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 WHAT IS YOUR ALL TIME FAVOURITE RECORD ON THE RCA LABEL ? AND ANY SPECIAL REASON THE MEMORIES Eg AN EX?? ETC ETC Sharon Scott, 'Under lock and key' just because its brilliant
Pauldonnelly Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Adey played this at the 100.First time i'd danced to it since i was 18. 2 Carolyn's to throw in the mix - Cooke - I dont mind Franklin - Reality (Torch tune? PD?). And Bobbettes - Face the world. yes
Philb Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Mine are the obvious ones, Don Ray-Born A Loser Lorraine Chandler-I Can't Go On Metroos-Since I Found But i do think tha Dean Courtneys-We have A Good Thing gets overlooked and is a cracking record.
Guest Nick Harrison Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Cottonmouth - Treat You Kindly (RCA 11012). Only ever seen black stock copies?
Wilxy Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 A tough call, as the label output contained so many great favourites, but would agree with an earlier post with reference to the Pied Piper productions.....due to Detroit bias on my own part I might add.......
Ncfc Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Cottonmouth - Treat You Kindly (RCA 11012). Only ever seen black stock copies? I have a demo Nick. ATB Chris
Koolkat Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 WILLIE KENDRICKS-CHANGE YOUR WAYS / WHATS THAT ON YOUR FINGER, Great double sider Have to agree.
Rob Wigley Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I wrote an article in Shades of Soul about collecting RCA many many moons ago.....still got em all about 160 I think ! Rob always loved The Geminis "Can't let you go" or Susan Barrett "grain of sand"
Citizen P Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Loads of 'em, but at the moment it's Roy Hamilton-She's Got a Heart & King George-So Long Johnny Tony
Guest Dante Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Kenny Carter "Showdown" Magnificent. Sean I knew someone was going to beat me with that. There is very very few recordings with that much soul.
Mrtag Posted November 12, 2010 Author Posted November 12, 2010 l remember the cover well......Cartoon characters.......She had was wearing clots and he had a vest on....They looked liked something out of Scooby-Do...........What a brilliant album though... TRUST YOU!! CLOTS
Gene-r Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I'm feeling brave so I'll admit that when I was at school I liked "Devils Drive" by Big Boris. Not soul, not American, not very trendy, but who cares? It had a great bass line. Big Boris was a pseudonym for arranger Johnny Arthey. Paul So does that mean the rumour of Big Boris being a Jamaican musician resident in the UK is untrue then? Or was it just confusing Johnny Arthey with his work for labels like Trojan?
Mrtag Posted November 12, 2010 Author Posted November 12, 2010 ==================================================================================================== It has to be the Metros...............the production is so dark and menacing!!! Would you want your 16 year old daughter going out with Percy when he's in this mood???(LOL) I Guess Not! ! :thumbsup:
Fishcake Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Has to be Judy Freeman and Blackrock Hold on,sounds just as great now as when i first heard it on the L.P.
Guest aintgotit Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 happy go lucky me , by the bobbettes.
Mrtag Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 happy go lucky me , by the bobbettes. Having Fun another great tune of theirs ! !
Guest Mrs M Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 It has to be The Metros - Since I Found My Baby
Ernie Andrews Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 For me there are loads - Great label but my fav is Hokis Pokis - Swing Sheer memories of the Mecca!
St James Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 No mention so far for: Gia Mateo - If You Can't Say Anything Nice Not a bad tume IMHO, and it got played to death at the Fleet, St Ives in the early 80s. (Hope I dont get a Q I -25!!) Ric Franks
Windlesoul Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 For me, two beauties: Roy Hamilton - Heartache hurry on by ( 0 mph) - defy anyone to say this doesn't reduce you to tears (except Webbydublin maybe?) Trade Martin - Moanin' (1000000000000000 mph)
Epic Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 For me there are loads - Great label but my fav is Hokis Pokis - Swing Sheer memories of the Mecca! Didn't know it had ever been released on RCA - my copy is on Shield.
Anoraks Corner Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Kenny Carter "Showdown" Found a nice black stocker of this one...and now the eternal question...what's it worth nowadays?!
Guest andyrattigan Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Don Ray- Born a Loser Cavaliers- Oh it hurts me Sonny Til- Tears and Misery
boba Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 chantels - i'm gonna win him back main ingredient - instant love escorts - you can't even be my friend
Guest Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Didn't know it had ever been released on RCA - my copy is on Shield. It's a RCA sub, got nowhere on RCA promo lp well about 1min 50secs worth
Mrtag Posted December 7, 2010 Author Posted December 7, 2010 It's a RCA sub, got nowhere on RCA promo lp well about 1min 50secs worth Glad Thats Sorted Out ! !
Ian Parker Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Percy Wiggins - it didnt take much (simple, cheesy, but quality) Odyssey - Native new yorker (if you're a drummer you'd understand- if not , still a magnificent record and possibly my fave) Willie Kendricks - change your ways ..... (for the sheer dynamics) IAN
Anoraks Corner Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 escorts - you can't even be my friend SUPERB track...not had too much scene exposure either.
