Ian Dewhirst Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Very timely as 2011 is the 40th anniversary of Philly International Records. One of the most successful Black music labels of all time and still independently owned by it's original founders, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff - one of the greatest song-writing teams of all time and right up there with Holland-Dozier-Holland and Smokey Robinson in my view. So here's a couple of starters which will set you back less than a fiver each (including postage):- Philly Disco 70's Dance Floor Anthems From The City Of Brotherly Love Backbeats BACKB003 1 Archie Bell & The Drells - Let's Groove 2 Dee Dee Sharp Gamble - Breaking & Entering 3 Teddy Pendergrass - Only You 4 Jean Carn - If You Wanna Go Back 5 Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Don't Leave Me This Way 6 The O'Jays - I Love Music 7 M.F.S.B. - Summertime & I'm Feeling Mellow 8 Teddy Pendergrass - You Can't Hide From Yourself 9 People's Choice - Jam Jam Jam (All Night Long) 10 Jean Carn - Was That All It Was 11 Billy Paul - Bring The Family Back 12 McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stopping Us Now Amazon "Philly Freedom" 70's Dance Floor Anthems From The City Of Brotherly Love BACKB015 1 First Choice - Armed & Extremely Dangerous 2 The Delfonics - I Told You So 3 The Trammps - Where Do We Go From Here 4 Archie Bell & The Drells - I Could Dance All Night 5 Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody 6 The O'Jays - This Time Baby 7 Lou Rawls - You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine 8 Dee Dee Sharp Gamble - Nobody Could Ever Take Your Place 9 Bunny Sigler - Can't Believe That You Love Me 10 Billy Paul - I Trust You 11 The Trammps - Trusting Heart 12 Archie Bell & The Drells - Where Will You Go When The Party's Over 13 First Choice - Smarty Pants 14 Teddy Pendergrass - The More I Get The More I Want 15 The Futures - Party Time Man 16 Frantique - Strut Your Funky Stuff 17 Lou Rawls - See You When I Git There 18 The Philadelphia Int All-Stars - Let's Clean Up The Ghetto 19 The Jones Girls - You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else Amazon Also well worth getting if you can find 'em :- Creme De La Creme - Philly Soul Classics & Rarities Vols 1 & 2 https://www.discogs.c...release/1583238 https://www.discogs.c...release/1598371 You're in for a major treat.

Yes it is. Infact the whole EPP album is just about my all time favourite Philly LP. A splended mix of soulful ballads and uptempo songs. The cd is available from Amazon. Also well worth checking out is "The whispers janus recordings" which includes the groups classic philladelphia LP that the group cut in 1974.

Guest Hunnymon Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Great list Hunnymon and well done with the technology! But you might need to bounce out "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music" - Detroit Spinners 'cos that was a Detroit recording when they were still on Motown. In fact, Motown reissued it off the back of their early Philly successes. Ian D I'm sure it will come as no surprise Ian when I tell you that that I've also got a motown section on me ipod ! However, in the philly section it stays! It is the motown 1973 re-issue version that's on me ipod which motown had tampered with in order to make it sound more like a philly record they dubbed over a Thom Bell 1973 style drum beat onto the record and they also totally removed the vocals to an whole verse in order to give the song a 1973 philly style instrumental break. I feel that this is enough for it to qualify it as an honorary philly record I seem th recall that it was issued by motown the very same week that atlantic put out "One Of A Kind" in order to compete with it. If it was the original version, it would be in the motown section. I'm sure you knew this already Ian, and you were just testing me
Shinehead Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 One LP not too miss is The Modulations = Its Rough Out Here , a classic album , easy to pick up it as it was reissued a few years back.

Ian Dewhirst Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I'm sure it will come as no surprise Ian when I tell you that that I've also got a motown section on me ipod ! However, in the philly section it stays! It is the motown 1973 re-issue version that's on me ipod which motown had tampered with in order to make it sound more like a philly record they dubbed over a Thom Bell 1973 style drum beat onto the record and they also totally removed the vocals to an whole verse in order to give the song a 1973 philly style instrumental break.
