I've never used it to be honest.  Had the app on my phone and iPod but since deleted it.  Can't imagine they have much that I don't have already apart for newer material.

I gave it spins at Lifeline and other places some years ago, good under rated 45 and under the radar of many as you say. 

 

Punches above its weight as they say...certainly sounds like a £1000 track to my ears! :yes:

Pretty sure I have a UK PIR 7" of this, likely to be a demo if I had it as generally just collected UK demos of Philly, Will check when I get home. I haven't seen a US one now you mention it, although not been looking too hard.

That was reissued in the mid 80's on both a 7" and 12" after it was being played by the likes of Norman Jay.  Is the 7" an edit or is it the same length as the original LP version?

Was defiantly a retrospective release, as there were quite a few miffed people (including me) who’d been playing it from the LP as at the time the LP was in-demand and quite tough to find.  Also, UK Portrait changed from a grey to a black label in the early 80s.  Sly and the Family Stone’s Family Affair/Dance To the Music and Barbara Dickson’s Caravan Song originally UK Epic releases also got re-released on black portrait as well around the same time.

Currently one is grooving to the utter bewilderment of his 11 year old daughter to the unissued David (Ruffin) album purchased via the medium of the silver disc. In a word AWESOME! Now excuse me I need to get back to gliding across the kitchen floor.......

An awful lot of modern seventies stuff - Jackie Moore, Jeff Perry, Four Below Zero, Greg Perry, Dells, don't normally go for that kinda stuff but sounds great in the sitting room. :thumbsup:

Yes I use it. It can be useful when I'm using the Ipad and can't play PC only tracks on youtube or Manship. I also find that it has a good selection of Blues music.

This evening, I have mostly been digging about on YT, Google and the usual sites for anything by Kim Tolliver, I only knew her from the NS dancer "I don't know what foot to dance on " on the Castro label. What a voice! she recorded for Chess, Rojac, Revillot, Tayster and GA.

It's a great LP all the way through.  If you didn't see the cover you wouldn't realise it was a film score.

Ive never heard this before.. your right, squint and its a killer side / Lp...
