Philly City Ronnie any day, though nothing to do with 'the scene', just a favourite.

I used to like Brainstorm - Loving is really my game 12" :lol:

also

Like Her 12"

New York City (Miroslav Vitous) 12" only

I think I've still got the Brainstorm one somewhere, on Tabu wasn't it?

I also bought a Miroslav Vitous album blind and it was some kind of contemporary Jazz crock 'o sh!t that was basically 'noise' for 30 minutes :shades:

If it's the best 12" and depending what scene I guess "Vincent Montana Jnr & The Philly Sound Orchestra featuring William Smoke Howard - That's What Love Does" , superb tune :shades:

Maybe the 12" of 2005 with the old Ebonies " Im so glad Im me " lead . ...was a big Internet download first though . :thumbsup:

I agree Brainstorm, the 7" just starts to get going then ends.. :thumbsup:

No the 12 is way too long (by about 4 minutes) the LP version is far better...in fact "wake up and be somebody" off the same LP is far better.... Sigh!!! those Mecca monsters

Thought of another nice one:

Velvet Hammer ft. Walter Smith - I Can't Believe - Chila

Sounds a bit different to the 7" as it's got heavier 'Bass'

Anyone ever seen a Ben Wiggins' "It's all over" (ALMERIA) on a 12" ?

It's supposed to exist, but I've never seen one :thumbsup:

Best,

Christian B

PS! Would be interested in buying both the Almeria 12"'s if anybody

got them - Four Flights + Ben Wiggins that is.

Lets put this to rest ... there has never been a 12" of Bill Harris, only on 45 or the RCA Disco Train LP

:yes:

Spot on about the Bill Harris ! Beat me to it :thumbsup:

Was always fond of "Spanish Maiden". Tony Middleton

15. Am I Cold, Am I Hot - Bill Harris

We conclude with a feel good finale record that epitomises the point where 70s end of crossover northern soul meets modern soul and keeps everyone happy. Like the We The People track, the original 7' exchanges hands for £100 - £150 while re-issues satisfy the ever-increasing demand for this gem (which is even harder to find on a US RCA 12'). Written and produced by the extraordinarily talented late, great, Van McCoy it's a pure soul delight. Much like this entire compilation!

Maybe the reason it's hard to find is it doesn't exist ? Just because RS has mentioned it in the sleeve notes doesn't mean it exists. This isn't a dig at RS just a fact, on a motown compliation he described a Marvelettes track (Don't make hurting me a habit - I think) as album only. We all make mistakes :yes:

Yes mate, this shocked me when I first read it. Have to say I was chasing the 12 for years just to be shot down in flames anytime I spoke to a U.S 12 dealer. Being told did not come out. To be honest never went through the RCA catalog though.
