I'm not sure if I know enough records that came out on the label to comment.

The Montclairs is quality though. Can be a tricky little number to dance to - particularly these days!

B SIDE AINT HALF BAD EITHER I NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER. BETTY EVERETT TROUBLE OVER THE WEEKEND IS PRETTY GOOD TOO

Major Lance - How Can You Say Goodbye - Contempo

or

Deon Jackson - I Can't Go On - Contempo~Raries

Deon's alternate take on "I Cant Go On" yup would agree on that one, where did that come from? same as Carla take but with girly bits. also thro into the pot JJ Barnes "Sara Smile" and Gladys Knight &Pips "Why Dont You Love Me" an excellent Van McCoy number that I dont believe came out on VJ, but would love to kno if it did!

Major Lance...didnt that come out first as an instrumental on Contempo by The Fabulous Echoes ?

due to it's poularity now, quite hard to pick up, Its on the B side of his "Love Makes The World Go Round" issue on Contempo Raries thumbsup.gif

Deon Jackson " I Can't Go On" Contempo-Raries great tune especially with the girls backing him - just right for today.

About £20-£25 if you can get one.

Bessie Banks of course. "Caught you in a lie" would be close.

I also like the other side of Roshell Anderson, Jesse Boone "No particular one" which is ace and you could dance to it if you were that way inclined.

I really love Doris Duke "Please come back" which is the other side of "Grasshopper". I think it is a Contempo production as opposed to Jerry Williams. A real over the top production with strings but works for me.

Love the Major Lance record mentioned as well as "How can I be sure" ? a cover of Sydney Joe Qualls, great version. Not forgetting "Dark and Lonley".

Then of course is the Deep Soul compelations...

So much great stuff.

steve

very hard to find, john britton always gives this a spin at the wilton & red bar....."love makes the world go round" is also a different take to the us carla / uk atlantic release

Got to be JJ Barnes - Sweet Sherry - there's very few records on any label better than this yet I constantly forget to put it on my top 20's for some reason.

Montclairs is one of the worst for me, a right mess of a record.

Agree with Sweet Sherry, and having Rare Stamps since the early 70's, I have always been a fan of Baby Please Come Home which also came out on Contempo.

As for the Montclairs, from my first hearing at the Mecca this is a record I never tire of hearing and not a bad B side either.

Sure I read somewhere that 'Sweet Sherry' from the Volt/Stax l.p is the first take and differs slightly from the UK Contempo 45. Anyone confirm this?

Also, don't forget J.J's 'To An Early Grave' on contempo, nice mid-tempo.

Well spotted Darks, the Jesse Boon track is wonderful. I'm surprised at you Binsy forgetting the Bobby Patterson!!

The way I'm going though it's 'To An Early Grave'

Maybe I'll get a 'Second Chance'
