boba Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I got a Jimmy Connor - Lets Get Married last year, fab track, but knocked out of the park for The reality of life, an all time favourite!! Makes the flip sound plaintive, and that SAX...!! both sides of this record are great, but aren't they both about the same tempo?

Dave2 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) dream team-im not satisfied/there he is-gregory Yep good call. Got this for the hi-octane, fast stepper 'I'm Not Satisfied' And regularly play the gorgeous ballad, gem of a flip 'There He Is' :thumbup: Also the Deon Jackson ballad 'I Need A Love Like Yours' (flip of the faster 'I Can't Go On' (Carla) ). (Recently danced to 'I Can't Go On' @Banbury last week. Well played that DJ, and the bod who requested it! ) Edited January 14, 2012 by dave2 1

Geoff Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread, I love slow soul records and most of the ones mentioned are unknown to me. Will try to hear them. I think these type of tunes are ideal for the early part of an alldayer. One I'd suggest for this thread is the flipside of the 7th Avenue Aviators' You Should O' Held On, Boy Next Door, absolutely beautiful record, heard it first at Brid weekender in 2010, now Mick H has been playing it for some time too. 1
Dylan Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Mystics - That's the kind of love - Teako (can't believe anyone would even consider playing the flip) Fully agree with you here the flip is terrible, real scraping the bottom of the barrel stuff. This side is very nice though.

Guest Dave Turner Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Dave the uptempo sides of minit and keyman are different songs with different titles not same song released twice. Dylan, yes I know mate that's why I said "What Is This" (Keymen release not Minit). Perhaps should have made it clearer. Both the Keymen and Minit are titled "What Is This" though.
Dylan Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Both the Keymen and Minit are titled "What Is This" though. I'm not 100% on this i'd need to check but i'm sure they are different titles. Edited January 14, 2012 by dylan

Candiman Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 A few not mentioned yet I think (dancer/known side in brackets): Josephine Taylor - Depend On Me (Smooth Groove) (Right now this would get my vote for the greatest deep track ever and this was the A Side) Alfreda Brockington - I'll Wait For You (Chained & Bound) (just a shame this one fades a bit too quick, it's about 15 seconds longer on the reissue I think) Tyrone Davis - A Woman Needs To Be Loved (Can I Change My Mind) (was the A side when initially released - I have it on a solid black Dakar label - flipped after a few months)
Dylan Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 charles burns on gene ernie wheelwright on gaye a couple more with great deep soul flips that are popular northern items. I came across both these as deep soul 45s then realised as I was chasing them that they were also wanted for the uptempo sides. I kept getting outbid and never got either.

Dylan Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 buddy cantrell on tuska barbara hall "big man / broken hearted" also on tuska broken hearted far far superior to the recetly popular uptempo side.
Louise Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Until the youtube era I'd never heard Ray Paige's "Don't Stop Now" on RCA, the other side of his version of Ain't No Soul. I'd never have thought of buying that, but the ballad side is immense. He later re-cut it in a more latin style on Fania under his (presumably) real name, Rafi Pagan. On a more recent in-demander I was very impressed by the ballad side of Double O's Demingoes "Color One Tear Black". I think the uptempo version of the same track wears pretty quickly but the slow version is a real mind-blower. A couple more RCA's Percy Wiggins The Work Of A Woman flip of It Didn't Take Much Rose Valintine When The Heartaches End flip of I've Got To Know Right Now Dave
Louise Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 The Sonatas Vendor Come Back (To Me) flip to Going On Down The Road Hotline The Topics If Love Comes Knockin' flip to Hey Girl (Where Are You Going) Chadwick Sandy Shelton Baby Your Mine flip to Your Gonna Make Me Love You Okeh Dave

Guest Paul Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Great thread but tricky because many of the ballads were the official A-sides anyway. Here are some of my favourite ballads which were B sides (or which were mostly overshadowed in the UK by their uptempo sides)...

Bob? steve I know that the Ultimations actually are from Chicago (unlike every single act on the set of labels) as the Tra-Mor record owner told me he got into music by meeting one of them. The lineup is even known and in the first soul harmony singles book, not sure the source of the info, but I have never talked to anyone from the group. I think the Jo in Po-Jo is Jimmy Jones. I'm too lazy right now to look up the actual writers but can if it's important. I think I've also seen Po-So, maybe on a Sheryl Swope 45?
