getting lots of plays again it seems (and a lot of mention on here) is the LP only track "Sadie Sadie" from the Ripple Blast Singers LP "Funny Girl Ala Soul". picked it up on a dig first time at a shop I'd never been to here in Copenhagen, posted it here on trade as there were other tracks I was after, but it grew on me so much that its become a major staple of my sets. absolutely stellar spin, surprising nobody has cut a 45 boot of it.

I was just back in the states and catching my flight from San Francisco to New York I stupidly left my bag of LPs on the roof of my friend's car when she dropped me off in a rush. she got onto the freeway and was going 60+mph when someone honked at her and pointed to the roof :ohmy: all my LPs in tact, saved probably by the weight of my 45 adaptors in the same bag! absolutely devastating to realize I was without them at first though. now waiting to get it shipped back so it can reclaim its rightful seat in my set.

there is also a very credible LP only version by Walter 'Wolfman' Washington

yeah, i liked this but could never quite get with the 80s production values on the LP & then this was compounded when I saw him do it live in NO & it absolutely destroyed the LP version, could never listen to it again & threw the LP in the bin :( the bloody 1980s & their drum/horn/keys sounds have a lot to answer for IMO. :glare:

and in a round about twist, the Tyrone Davis LP "Can I Change My Mind" has a grip of excellent LP only versions of things on it :thumbsup:

Don Bryant - Can I Change My Mind - Precious Soul LP, Hi or UK London. A very credible cover.

Nice one...part of my latest podcast...great version and underplayed!

Do you know the brill version of Mighty Doug Haynes? Worth a listen...

So Glad You Came Along and Now You're Gone from Smoke's J-Bridge LP

These would be my choices for an LP only set;

Voices Of East Harlem - Take a stand (Just Sunshine)

The two VOEH Just Sunshine LP's are chocked with great LP only Dancers and steppers.

I'm very intrigued as to this. To my knowledge this single isn't in any US Stax discography's I know of, as there aren't any missing numbers. So it must be a UK or foreign released single. Did Stax ever release anything in Guatemala?

I can't say I've ever seen one but I remember one of the Ripolles boys mentioning it on their radio show.

Maybe they could help?

When I dj'd regularly I always took a bunch of LPs with me. Either lp-only tracks, or album tracks that were much much cheaper than the 45 releases, e.g. Silhouettes on Goodway. If I find the time I'll knock a list together of what I played over the years.

what do people feel about tracks getting played off lp's when the same track is available on a 45 but at a much higher price, does anyone care?

Two killers I've played in LP-only sets many times over the years Kev, 100% perfect 70s soul music for me, and the Notations without fail gets people up to the decks asking what it is and after showing them the LP cover the response is practically always 'I've got that LP but never played that track'! :)

and this isn't even on the Safety Zone album !!!!

No Mike, always said about this record, if anyone wants to know what the Muscle Shoals sound is like at its absolute best, then this is it, the rythm section working overtime and the horns, dear me, ben Cauleys bugle solo and Womack at his scorching best, stirs the blood just talking about it Mike

Yes Roger, both tracks you picked out are as good as anything they put out on 45, its the album ignorance thing isn't it, people buy an album for 1 track maybe and ignore the rest, then get found out when someone plays something else brilliant from it

Hi Roger/Kev

I've played 'VOEH - So Rare' out quite a bit over the years and always gets either dancers or folks up to the turntable (or both!). I just LOVE that song!

Cheers

Billy Hawks was actually pressed on 45, french issue on stateside with ps . Very scarce but not impossible to find, a few djs on the mod scene do own copies.

Little Ann was pressed on 45 on Kent select.

I was outbid on the Billy Hawks 45 a while ago...would have liked it for the cover alone. :)
