Been having a sort through my collection, and it struck me just how many records there are out there which you can get for less than £20, which are top-quality soul records, and should be given the reactivation they deserve. We’ve had a few “cheap as chips” threads over the years, so allow me to reactivate it with a few more under-£20 finds.

THE CRAMPTON SISTERS: I Didn’t Know What Time It Was (DCP)

THE EMOTIONS: I Can’t Stand No More Heartaches (Brainstorm)

THE YOUNG FOLK: Lonely Girl (Mar-V-Lus)

RON MURPHY: Hollow Man (20^th Century)

THE IMPALAS: Whip It On Me (Bunky)

THE FAWNS: Nothing But Love Can Save Me (Cap City)

RICK & FLOYD: Baby You Got Me Going (Lasco)

Let’s hear about some more – over to you!

Benny Latimore - Girl I Got News For You - Dade

this was absolutey hammered here in Munich earlier this year. Couldn't and still can't stand it, IMO too much of a gloria gaynor "I will survive" blue print

two brilliant cheapies that I used to play and that always got the punters dancing:

Lenis Guess - Working for my baby

Five Stairsteps - Don't waste your time

JUDY HARRIS - You Touched Me (SUN)

This played next to J COVEY - A Little Bit Hurt

What a match

  chalky said:

Didn't this get released twice - as The Spring song and then New Girl.

Looking at the Onederful discography they appear to have the same release number

  ken said:

Manship has "working for my baby" on New Faces @ 25, is that a different track?

Scans of both sides of the SPQR release, uptempo version is much better,

the medium tempo one is the 'b' side of Just Ask Me
