The two most precious records that mean the most to you

[carl baxter]

Just a bit of fun.

imagine you are only allowed to have 2 records.

not necessarily the most valuable,but ones that mean the most to you.

mine are........baby boy-Fred Hughes    

                       Im standing-rufus lumley

both bringing back fond memories of the torch and Blackpool Mecca.

still love them now.

Yvonne Baker You didn't say a word. Loved it from day 1 at WC. I had an issue cracked in 3 places around 75. Then WDJ boot. Then WDJ original. Then the Grey/White demo then traded up to an issue. Still got it.

Mel Britt She'll come running back. Bought a boot from the infamous Soussan list in about 76. Then got Mel Britt, Eula Cooper and Carol and Gerri for £20 at the Sept 81 last night of Wigan. Love it. Still have them.

A record which means more to me than words can say..the joy and anguish associated with the memories this track brings flooding back to me are truly immense.

Dedicated to my younger brother who sadly passed away in 2010.

 

Gil Scott Heron is probably the artist I've listened to the most over the past 30 years ..as a teenage Hip Hop fanatic I was listening to artists like Public Enemy and the more political end of the Hip Hop genre.

Then one day out of the blue  someone played me 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' and my mind was instantly blown away by this mans music, unbelievable conviction and his beliefs.

I could wax on forever about GSH - a true originator, his influence on Hip Hop and beyond cannot possibly be underestimated in any way whatsoever.

If you haven't seen it Pete and you have SkyTV check out the film 'Black Wax' on Sky Arts, it's wicked and the live concert footage is fantastic!

Is this like a bi- desert island disc Fest?

Lee Bates - why don’t you bite, and Chuck Jackson - Bowl me an over... 

 

[Soulman58]

 Walk Away From Love - David Ruffin

Its An Uphill Climb To The Bottom - Walter Jackson

[Rob Moss]

 

[Span]

If that's what you wanted - Frankie beverly

Nothing can Compare to you - Velvet satins 

Pretty much some up why I love this music !

Mine were Tomangoes, cause she was so sweet, and her body were so awesome, and as it happens it were a nashvillle press, and the Salvadors as it were the Chicago press, but that is a story never to be told!

I can't say too much...

 

 

[Guest Shufflin]

I have a very first issue of What's Going On LP in mint- condition by Marvin Gaye, my favourite LP

If I had to do a deal with the NS devil, then Mello Souls, We Can Make It

Most precious sound? Time Will Pass You By, always has been, always will be

[Tattoodave]

The Swans - Nitty Gritty City

Rita and the Tiaras - GWTWIML

I just love the soul of Doré

[Mark Bicknell]

[Bbrich]

Not the most valuable in money terms but would be the last 2 i ever let go.....

Marvin Gaye - Little Darlin & Doggone - both Mint Uk TMG demos.   (I just look at them whilst playing my US issue copies).

[Motownsoulman]

Easy choice this. First is the flip of This Old Heart Of Mine, on Tamla, There's No Love Left - The Isley Brothers

 

Secondly would have to be I'll Be Doggone - Marvin Gaye

 

I would place this as a close 3rd choice. The Girl Across The Street - Moses Smith

 

 

[Girdwoodinc]

Five Stair Steps - Ooh child (1st soul record I bought myself when I was about 15)

Freddie Hughes - Send my Baby Back (Demo LP) - one friend got it on a buying trip in the US in the 80s but got it via from another who is sadly no longer here

Capitals is a shockingly hard record,especially on the never seen green issue! I sold my white demo a few years back,i wonder if you bought it from me?
