Jim G Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 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! 1

Tobytyke Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 the ojays other releases on neptune are also worth picking up for about the same price. 1
Popular Post Andreas B Posted June 16, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 16, 2013 Barbara Mercer - Hey!! (Golden World) will always be a top sound for me, and should never cost more than a tenner. 7
Premium Stuff Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 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. Cheers Richard 3
Andreas B Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 And it's a great double-sider with "Can't Stop Loving You Baby" on the other side. Cheers Richard So true, Richard. Both sides get ample play from me. That record was my "gateway drug" to collecting Northern. 1
Popular Post Kevinkent Posted June 16, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 16, 2013 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. - Kev 9
Popular Post Andreas B Posted June 16, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 16, 2013 Also of late, this dirt cheap side has been a huge favorite. "Gimme Little Sign" has been a favorite since I was a kid and would hear it on "oldies" radio in the US, but I'd never bothered to give the flip much attention till recently. Absolutely sublime S-O-U-L https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3puT3sUr5OQ 15

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.

Peter Richer Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 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. 2
Peter Richer Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 This is almost like the alter-ego of the Mello Souls thread. Not that you can't like both of course. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Ha ha - love it! 3

Cheers Martyn
Andreas B Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Mighty Marvelows "Talikn bout my baby" ABC Records Group soul brilliance 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.
Andreas B Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Talking of Brenton Wood I'd never heard this before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN8499uIsXw Nice strolling tune from Brenton Wood, never heard it before either. Kind of reminds me of Occasions - There's No You on Big Jim.
Popular Post Craig W Posted June 16, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 16, 2013 Harlem by Bill Withers on Sussex. Not even a fiver can be picked up for 50p or a £1.00.

My fave buy for a fiver & not usually my type stuff is Milt Matthews-Trust Me H & R Records.........just awesome. Cheers Martyn 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. Paul
Tiberius Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 First record I always think of for a the price of a packet of fags, (Little) Carl Carlton - Why Don't They Leave Us Alone 1
Premium Stuff Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 First record I always think of for a the price of a packet of fags, (Little) Carl Carlton - Why Don't They Leave Us Alone That was 1972 but sounded 1967

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.

Guest Paul Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) 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. Paul RECORD VOUCHER Edited June 17, 2013 by Paul
Guest Dave Turner Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited June 17, 2013 by Dave Turner
