ricticman Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Four Tops album I Can't Help Myself on the 49p MFP label. Yes I know it's a 70's release but it's all 60's and is basically a reissue of "Second Album". Fantastic album with no filler. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 As said above too hard to pick one, and agree with many already mentioed, particularly withdrawn Len Barry, but thougth I'd give a shout out for this: Jimmy Ruffin Ruff 'N Ready with the glorious version of 96 Tears on but the whole album makes such a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.

jocko Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 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........

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.

The Magnificent Men's Capitol LP with 'Keep on climbing' etc is a fave too. Edited August 6, 2014 by Windlesoul 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
