I got my copy of 'Born Again' by jj Barnes out again last week, might be early seventies, sorry about that....But what an Lp it is....

Failing that Bobby Bland - piece of gold on Uk Action, cause I got mine from my mates mum for a fiver while I was at school, and that Lp opened so many doors for me...Strong Stuff!!!

The three I am going to name here are right at the mainstream end of the soul spectrum, but they are up there with the very best . . . .

 

Otis Blue - Otis Redding

 

Hand Clappin' Foot Stompin' Funky-Butt . . . Live! - Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band

 

Motown Chartbusters Vol 3. - Misc.

I'm talking strictly in a UK release context ;

 

 There was the 12/6d  Atlantic sampler [ This is Soul ] , which was pretty ground breaking at the time, and a subsequent ' This is Sue ' , same price. Maybe not that rare / scarce stuff, but def got me into this mess.

Then the early TMG  / Stateside comps and the Bell Cellars of Soul. The Columbia v/a lp of okeh stuff was amazing.

 

But, along with the Tempts ' With a lot of soul ' [see above ], the 2 James Carr lps  [stateside / Bell ], are the db's.........in my h.o. of course.

If only one US released LP had to be nominated, it would be this stunning piece of musical artistry:

As said above too hard to pick one, and agree with many already mentioed, particularly withdrawn Len Barry, but thougth I'd give a shout out for this:

Jimmy Ruffin Ruff 'N Ready with the glorious version of 96 Tears on but the whole album makes such a great home play.

And his "A Man Needs A Woman"LP, get the UK bell release as it's got 6 more tracks compared to the US Goldwax release

 

Shouldn't you be fetching another cocktail for your long suffering wife!

 

Good shout, and you beat me to it. Although I have never actually seen a copy of the Bell LP, I assume some of our members here have one.

 

I would probably have to take Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man as no 1, but yest James Carr, Freddie Hughes and Otis Blue, all in top 10 I would say.

Sorry boys but Tempests, as great as it is, would struggle to make the top 50, would definitely make top 500, now there is an idea for a book........

no need for me to get cocktails for the wife as they're delivered to our hands by waiters.

I've got the UK Bell LP

like the idea of the book, maybe someone with some in depth knowledge and substantial stock could do this and maybe even add some prices to the listings. What a great idea that would be.....
