Sylvia Thomas At Last - Bamboo

Relatives - Lenient With My Love - Archway

Tricky

Well I have never heared it played anywhere, but then i tend to go out much nowadays, but in saying that, just cos its big on the modern side of things they may be some openen minded northern soulie types that havent heard it so still worth posting IMO

dont hear much talk of this people always seem to mention the "thats love"side turn it over this to my ears is so much better "no stronger love"https://youtu.be/IunvUNAU2oo

How about this. also well known but very really gets a play

Young Folk - Lonely Girl - Mar V Lus

a £15 cheapie thats as good as almost anything I've ever heard

The Miss Madeline version is just as good, and has the bonus of having Behave Yourself on the flip..... :thumbsup:

That's because it's exactly the same record Tony :g:

I knew that Miss Madeline was in the Young Folks, but only having her version I didn't realise it was the same recording.

Always thought this was a fantastic record, love that haunting break, wailing harmonies, brilliant lead vocal and a fabulous brass section, Chicago soul at it's finest.....I imagine it's still relatively cheap

Posted

Since when has this been "underrrated"? Everyone loves it and recognises it as a classic.

Depends who you talk to Pete.When i've brought this up in conversation at times over the years,been faced with "its ok".

Maybe its alot of people's secret love.? I put it on here cos its seems never to come up on Top 100/500 etc lists. :thumbsup:

Tim - I Need Your Love - Celtex

£10 on a good day!

Absolute class tune

Posted

Sure this has been done before - favourite 3 cheap & under-rated/under played tunes... but hey....

Wayne Cochran - I'm in Trouble

Bobby Thomas & the Afros - Please Mr Lovemaker

Invitations - living together is tearing us apart

:thumbsup:

Posted (edited)

Tim on Celtex one example; I'd usually go straight for love now pay later and not give this a second look but it's good enough in its own right and I'm sure would sound great played out.

Never liked the lyrics and brass on Lee Shot Williams "love now pay later", Tim version seems to ache harder to my ears, little less cheese :hypo: and its cheaper

Garland Green is the best version for me. Have all three (does that make me sound horrible) but GG is the one :thumbsup:

Ultimations is magic too!

Does under rated automatically = cheap?

It's almost a case of inverted snobbery at times it seems whereby once the 'rare' tag is attached and/or something is expensive it's automatically deemed by some to be sh*t lol.

Anyone with a bit of commitment and one ear has always been able to build a collection of quality original records without going bust haven't they?

For me, the thread also underlines that its not necessarily about trying to be 'progressive' all the time either. Looking back pays dividends too I always think

Hi phil........after standing about at nighters for 40 yrs .....most people l know only have one ear :D

Grt my type of thread! Not too keen on the most overated, worst record type of threads...

Think this should be bigger two fantastic sides for the price of a tenner :)

No, makes you sound cool! :shades:

GG version is really nice, and probably is the definitive one, but its a little too smoove for me personally, as I like em a little rough around the edges. That said, I'm not sure others would agree with me Joan...

:lol:

I like them all, each has a little something different to offer and they are all good which is quite rare when it comes to different versions of the same song

Was really big in it's day and funny you should mention Scotland as it was as big a tune at Shotts as anywhere. Fantastic!

One that had bypassed me till about 3 years back & was chuffed to bits to pick a m- promo up for $20 off the net. ..... Thought I read somewhere it was a 'Torch' tune initially? ...... As you say though Joan... Fantastic!

Maybe cos it's not a Northern record :unsure:

I remember buying a copy off Pat Brady in the mid 80's after he did a bit in his Echoes page. There's a few Little MIlton tracks from the same era all worth a listen

I love most thing on Stax during that period. Slightly funky production it's what we called Crossover in the 80's

Think I've got to both ends of the scale on this.

Timothy Wilson "Got to find a new love" always a £10 record but never championed or played our but a superb record for the price.

Jesse Davis "Theres room for me" For some reason rare as you like on which ever label and £1000 plus but never appreciated and never took off other than a few weeks at Stafford, but its what I want on my tombstone. Lyrics just sum up my life.... nuff said.
