Great stuff. I expect to be able to listen to April Stevens - Wanting you at home again.

Maybe that should go on the oldies you never tire of thread.

Can ask that people don't post mp3's on site & use the clip player button at the bottom of the page.

Thanks.

Anyone possibly upload the whole of Motown Chartbusters Vol 3??!!

Round our way it was a staple at youth clubs and parties.

Kids used to walk round with it under their arm like it was a "badge of honour".

P.S. That and Otis Blue.

yeah well spotted from Soul compilation CD. I'm in the process of transferring vinyl to my PC

I'll look out vol-3 and convert it .. don't think it's in good nick though it was a well played album.

[Guest MBarrett]

it was a well played album

Lot's of those MC Vol 3's were played to death.

Sort of places I used to hang out had an old Dansette record player, 2 or 3 L.P's and 10 singles if you were lucky.

The singles all went on in a pile and as one finished the next one dropped down.

The L.P.'s were played over and over.

£1 12 shillings for an L.P. as I put in another post. So you were grateful for what you'd got!

Funky Street - Arthur Conley - Atlantic.

Alcapone _ Prince Buster - Blue Beat.

[Guest MBarrett]

this is from the LP

Cracking!

And all the better for the odd scratch and bit of surface noice.

It adds authenticity.

Bit like the patina on a piece of Chippendale furniture.
