Be Concered by Al Wilson is a great tune in MHO, 70's social message, cheap too, infact like all the Al Wilson 7's on Playboy, the Lp which contains most of them is cheap too.

Forgot that Weapons of Peace are on Playboy too.

This Lifes About to Get Me Down (Its a b-side to Roots Mural Theme)

Mighty Hard Man (Quite disco, again a b-side to Just Can't Be that Way)

Both nice I think.

The 45s by Buck are good.

[Baz Atkinson]

I agree with the Buck releases " Its gonna be alright" being my favourite just got that chunky stabbing brass sound I like.

Think the Weapons of Peace also released an album on the label. Was it the only album issued by Playboy?

Major Lance had a couple of things issued by the label as well.

[Guest Polyvelts]

The recently discussed Percy and Them 'sing a sad song' was on Playboy, a sweet slowtempo number

Yep Weapons of Peace had an Lp on the label, and no not the only LP, Al Wilson released an lp which contains most of his 45's

I´m pretty sure I have some other soul stuff also on Playboy Records. However, my memory is short

and I don´t want to search the Net for things Playboy related, especially not when at work

Fantastic logo - The already mentioned 'Be Concerned' is just sublime - Flip it for his excellent version of 'I've Got A Feeling' and yuo've an essential double sider IMO. Also love Shawne Jacksons excellent slowie 'He May Be Your Man'.

There are a bunch of LPs on the label, including more than one weapons of peace LP. There just was a thread here about the sharon cash LP.

Yes, Alex Subinas´ site is great. I always check out his monthly recommendations.

It´s a pity the text is in Spanish, a language I do not master.

I also contributed to the Soul Portrait site earlier this year, submitting some record reviews - written in English

Hamilton, Joe Frank & Dennison - Now That I've Got You is a great song.

For the completist...his reworking of 'Um Um Um Um Um Um' also came out on Japanese Playboy.

[Ian Dewhirst]

Also there's a great million mile an hour poppy stomper called "It Ain't Gonna Happen To Me Again" by Paul Clemens on Playboy......
