John Al Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) ANYONE LIKE THIS GROUP?? LOVE FLASHBACK AND A FEW OTHERS NE1 SEE THEM IN 60s ..NE GOOD??? Yes, remember "Flashback" seemed the dogs at the time but doesn't sound so good now? Don't know too much else but I have a 70's ish version of "Better Use Your Head" by them which is passable (although maybe only because it's my all time favourite song). Always found them a bit, I don't know, light on the soul content perhaps? IMO only of course. What would you recommend listening to? John. Edited September 1, 2008 by John Alden
Joe Tex Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Train keep running and the flip both fantastic tracks on soulcity i think! Neil
Pete S Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Train Keep Moving - incredible Northern dancer - and easier to find on British Liberty than it is on US Soul City. Which reminds me - I've got one of those on my sales list later this week - considering how hard it is to find I always think it's way too cheap at 25/35 quid. So I'll try 40 this time I think
John Reed Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I've always liked No Love In The Room on Arista, but generally a bit too MOR for me.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) " Too Poor To Die" - the nuts! Their first single on Bronco, as the Versatiles, is a good 'un, too... ...as is their (much later) Motown album with Lou Courtney on lead vocals on many tracks... ...actually I like pretty much all of their records except "Aquarius", now I come to think of it!

Sjclement Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 ANYONE LIKE THIS GROUP?? LOVE FLASHBACK AND A FEW OTHERS NE1 SEE THEM IN 60s ..NE GOOD??? Credible versions of California Soul and What Does it Take under thier belt, (although I don't think anyones ever done a bad version of either song )
bri pinch Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 GOT A FRENCH EP SOMEWHERE THAT INCLUDES TRAIN KEEP ON MOVING, I'LL BE LOVING YOU FOREVER AND TOO POOR TO DIE WHICH ALL SOUND GREAT TO ME, BUT NEVER SEEM TO HEAR EM ANYWHERE NOWADAYS. BRI.
Steve Edgar Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Credible versions of California Soul and What Does it Take under thier belt, (although I don't think anyones ever done a bad version of either song ) Flip their "California Soul" for a great Beat Ballad "It'll Never Be The Same" Billy Davis in fine form! agree no one seems to do a bad version of "What Does It Take" and I particularly like 5th Dimension's take on it (managed to find that on a Mexican 45!) Another of theirs that does it for me is their Motown single "Slipping Into Something New" steve
Nickinstoke Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 " Too Poor To Die" - the nuts! Their first single on Bronco, as the Versatiles, is a good 'un, too... ...as is their (much later) Motown album with Lou Courtney on lad vocals on many tracks... ...actually i like pretty much all of their records except "Aquarius", now I come to think of it! The other side of "Aquarius" ("Dontcha hear me callin' to ya") is pretty good
AlanB Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Flip their "California Soul" for a great Beat Ballad "It'll Never Be The Same" steve I was just about to say the same, this is a great track, very soulful. Alan
