Guest Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) here's a couple that could easily fit in another live thread 'records you bought that are crap' (or something like that) brian hyland - the joker went wild - philips Edited January 3, 2011 by mikecook
Kris Holmes Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 that philips Double-Hit reissue series has the best US pressing of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny". I play that out when needed & keep the original filed as it has weird distortion/static, it's gotta be the pressing because I've had about 15 different copies of the US original over the years & they all do it, even the original New Zealand pressing was obviously transferred from a distorting US original because it does it too Above the 15 different copies I thought I'd lucked out when I got a pressing plant box of unplayed copies, but alas they all had the same problem too "Bread" on the flipside is fine though & a great track too.
Guest Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 here's a couple that could easily fit in another live thread 'records you bought that are crap' (or something like that) brian hyland - the joker went wild - philips I always thought that the Steve Tyrell - "A Boy Without A Girl" is a good record. Roger Banks used to play it in his DJing spot. I have it on one of the two small Texas labels before Philips , mine is on Kirk. Steve Tyrell produced some of Maxine Browns records on Wand.
Pete S Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 BOB HENRY BUILT LIKE A MAN, NOT ON REFO BUT ANYONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW IT LISTEN TO A CLIP HERE https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/110302/HENRY,_BOB KEV This is the same chap who does "Walk away like a winner" on Philips. I had the original Advision acetate of the latter and it was credited to Bob Henry. I remember obtaining / reviewing the Bob Henry "Built like a man" 20 years ago in Beatin Rhythm and this is the first time I've seen it mentioned since then!

Suzannek Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 here's a couple that could easily fit in another live thread 'records you bought that are crap' (or something like that) brian hyland - the joker went wild - philips I actually like the B-Side to this "Holiday for Clowns"
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) I always thought that the Steve Tyrell - "A Boy Without A Girl" is a good record. Roger Banks used to play it in his DJing spot. I have it on one of the two small Texas labels before Philips , mine is on Kirk. Steve Tyrell produced some of Maxine Browns records on Wand. Steve was from Houston originally, which would account for the 'two small Texas labels'... He worked for a lot of labels as a producer and executive (including Scepter/Wand - he went there as a 'reward' for bringing B J Thomas to the company's notice) , but for many years and up to now he has successfully plied his craft as a songwriter and jazz singer. If you want to know what he looks like, check out www.stevetyrell,com Edited January 6, 2011 by TONY ROUNCE

Guest Johnny Mack Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Couldn't resist to post two of my favourite Dusty tunes Wonder what was on her mind when she was singing this And a great version of the Barbara Acklin standard Take care John
Dean Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I always thought this so superior to spiral staicase (not that that sets the bar very high) and have enjoyed spinning a few times. This is apic from the web, just wanted to contribute and not been around much recently. I'm sure my prom is one side blue / one side orange. I'll try and post a pic of that tonight if I get time, just out of interest.
Dean Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Also (you can tell I'm not doing much work!) saw this fetched £195 on JM auction last night. I'd have thought an ok price for such a clean one. One of those records from the past that i probabaly like more now. Sorry didn't realise pic was going to come out so small, it's the Victors - Hurt.

bri pinch Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) nice version of little anthony blue eyed northern dutch 45 and another, belgian, i think BRI PINCH Edited January 6, 2011 by bri pinch
Dean Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 only £4 back in the day I've a great historical knack of buying and keeping records that are worth about the same now as what i paid back in the day, not buying those that rocketed, or even worse, selling the ones that rocketed back in the day before they rocketed. It's a good job I don't do this as a job.

Dean Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Two Classic female vocals, very much of their day I guess but I can still enjoy these today. And I do like a date stamp!
Dean Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Interesting enough (IMO) lesser played but playable.
Dean Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Remember when this was filling floors - what were we thinking? L J Johnson - Your Magic Put A Spell On Me
Dean Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 One of the first "club" soul records I can remember - and still love it. Sad loss last summer.
