Great record and have loved it for over 40 years. The whole album "O'Jays In Philadelfia" is great

 

Oddly, Russ Winstanley stated in in a1970's Blues & Soul it was has favourite record!

Barbara Mercer - Hey!! (Golden World) will always be a top sound for me, and should never cost more than a tenner.

And it's a great double-sider with "Can't Stop Loving You Baby" on the other side.

So true, Richard. Both sides get ample play from me. That record was my "gateway drug" to collecting Northern.

Lonely Girl - Miss Madeline - Mar-v-lus, gets my recommendation as a quality cheapie.  Or by Young Folk on the same label - the exact same version with Madeline Strickland lead vocal.

:thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup: both have great "b" sides as well

JJ Barnes - Now She's Gone/Hold On To It is always on ebay at criminally low prices. Staying on Revilot; Parliaments' - The Goose.

 

My best  shop buy this  year: Main Ingredient - Life Won't be The Same on UK RCA. Not rare obviously but  I was pleased to get a near mint copy for a fiver in old London town.

Loads of great cheap classics of course. Jackie Wilson is good for a few, and I'd pick Whispers with it being not far off a fiver.

 

Then there's some terrific northern on Motown - love Martha & Vandellas, and both One Way Out and Gotta Let You Go have been favourites for a long time.

Yet another top spin of mine, never grow tired of it :) Though I think its been going for a bit more than a fiver lately, it really should be no more than that.

Very nice track with a great ballad flip, 'Oh I Can't Believe You're Gone', reviewed in Black Echoes when new in 1978, and the follow-up 'Stop That Train' / 'This Is My Song' - all of which featured on the album.

Doesn't seem like 35 years ago and still sounds great today.

 

I also love his brilliant 1974 Bryan 45 'All These Changes' which was issued here on London.

"‹Here's a great example of a £5 record which really puts values into perspective ...

 

     LAURA LEE - (If You Want To Try Love Again) Remember Me (Hot Wax)

 

To me it's priceless, I must have played this a million times since I was a teenager (as with many other Laura Lee tracks) and it always makes me feel good and should fill any dancefloor at any event.

 

This is a great thread because poor people can join in.

When we bought records with our school dinner money we were far more selective because it obviously didn't make a lot of sense to almost starve yourself to death for a second-rate 45 or LP.

 

We were hungry and skinny but we certainly had good taste in music.

One for those who like to occupy a less energetic dance floor

 

Being the flip to "Soul Sister, Brown Sugar" you'll probably get 4 quid change from a fiver
