Davek Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The same time I had the above mentioned Bobby Wisdom Handwriting/Girl I call my baby, also had the Soulettes on Scope 2 decent sides on that. Not sure if anyone has mentioned Charles Brandy, Professionals on Groove City, Profs and Sharon Scott on RCA yet. So I'd be top 3.. Bobby Wisdom, Darrell Banks But the best has to be a record that was massive the last few years at Wigan for Richard S and Gary R. Then after that side died down Gary R flipped it over and had another monster on his hands. Frankie Beverly Because of my heart/ I just want to feel I'm wanted 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I nearly posted it some time ago when someone was asking for Latin type recommendations as I think it has that Latin vibe. I doubt you will be disappointed. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

lisa vanner Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Here are some, don't think listed yet: Barbara Jean & the lyrics - Why weren't you there/Any two can play ( Big hit). Charlene and the soul serenaders-love changes/Can you win (paradox)(volt issue). Martha star - Love is the only solution/I'm lonely (Thelma). Other Martha stars worth checking.

Happy Feet Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Another 1 very successful, yes we the older crowd will have heard it a 1000 times but have the younger crowd ever flipped it , The Supremes Baby Love / Ask any Girl , would have loved to be there the first time this was played , perhaps if never released at the time , could now be in one of those box sets . 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Tony Foster Posted December 14, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Thank you to all for joining in and posting these great records, it really is appreciated. This would be a great place to start for anyone thinking of starting a collection. There are many great records listed and it's great to see everyone has different tastes and ideas of what they consider to be a great double header. Music takes us back to a particular time or place or reminds us of events or people. A few of the tracks listed over the past few days reminded me of some of our soul brothers and sisters who are no longer with us, but are still fondly in our memories. For me - The Soul Injection-Stay Off The Moon/Girl Full Of Charm-Accent The Differences-Five Minutes/That Was The Day-Monca Martha star - Love is the only solution/I'm lonely (Thelma) The Wanderers, You Can't Run Away From Me/ I'll Know Show Stoppers - Ain't Nothing But A House Party / What Can A Man Do Sitting In My Class / Isn't She A Pretty Girl - Ronnie McNeir - Deto Volumes - I just can't help myself/ One way lover Edited December 14, 2023 by Tony Foster 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The name of the artist(s) is enough to whet one's appetite. Probably another of my top ten oldies. I wouldn't be able to make a good call in terms of who and where this was first played. My best attempt would be one of Richard's 60's newies, circa, 1979/80. Can anyone put me to the sword and provide a better answer than mine please.

Peter Hi Peter you're exactly right saying Richard S first, probably right with the time period as well. Can't believe you'd never heard the flip, he was playing them both at the same time. Both sides were covered as Spyder Turner and The Webs. Dave Raistrick found the second copy probably around 1981/82. He put it up for auction on his list still covered up. I had a go at getting it but it went quite high (for the time). Dave Withers won it I think at around £160. I did get one a couple of years later, not too sure where that went, might have been to Jimmy W. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
