Sean Hampsey Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Marvin Gaye Vital! Don't buy ANYTHING until you've bought this!
Guest mark shepherd Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 thanks so far keep em coming and i'll compile a wants list would i be right in saying that the people who've posted so far also have these albums for sale or am i being cynical also would like peoples views on playing big tunes off an album when you dont have the 45 is this tantamount to playing boots or would this sit OK with the soul police shep
Guest mark shepherd Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 don't tell him nowt he'll only sell em 10 minutes after hes bought em.... you do alright out of it how was the percy 45 and how did last night go after i left shep

Just harder to cue in the heat of battle! Absolutely not comparable with playing Boots. Sean

Just harder to cue in the heat of battle! Absolutely not comparable with playing Boots. Sean Am i right in assuming that albums are cheaper per say than 45,s or may i still be facing divorce and a custody battle over the children for spending all available monies on albums shep
Guest mark shepherd Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 can people put some prices up as well please im gonna start with the good cheap uns thanks, shep
pikeys dog Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 having just read your signature... DJing with albums is akin to eating babies. The Street People album is about fifty-sixty-hundred pounds. And you out to rush out ang buy the Marvin Gaye one first as it's chock full of dancers.... har har.
Harrogatesoul Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 1 - No - They're NOT For Sale - No Way - Never! 2 - Yes - Slightly Cynical 3 - Legit LP's are absolutely OK to play off. Just harder to cue in the heat of battle! Absolutely not comparable with playing Boots. Sean Agree Mr H 100% of the way. Shep - Like you I've been paying a whole ot more attention to LP's lately and for me ( a very PO) stick the LP on and listen to it to its entirety. It was made for that and nothing else. All the above mentioned and so many more are essential - Ebay throws up some amazing bargains but they tend to diddle you on P&P. the last record fair I went to I bought approx 25 Lp's for about £40 from one general dealer. Gladys Knight / William Bell / Persuaders / Blue Magic / Pickett / etc etc. What a joy to sit sipping wine on a sunday afternoon listening to these. get SunnySoul on here - He'll tell ya! Rich
Guest mark shepherd Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 What a joy to sit sipping wine on a sunday afternoon listening to these. now thats my idea of fun, might cancel " sky " when ive got a handful
Guest stromberg Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 ive been collecting 45,s for about 3 plus years now but only 45's ive decided to buy my first album but dont know where to start my bag is cross over 70,s soul, although im partial to some male group stuff as well any suggestions of what to buy greatley appreciated thanks, shep welcome to the wonderful world of albums, Shep What I like about it is that you often find 1 or 2 "bonus" tracks on the record (often slowies), that comes a nice surprise when you bought the record just for one track in the first place. Also often you have great sleeves, I think that's very cool. So many titles to choose from: Soul Children "Friction" We're getting too close plus a few killer ballads. Solid Solution "Loving you" Think about it girl Harris/Orr "Here I go again" Jack Ashford "Hotel suite" I'll fly into your open arms" Bobby Story Storyteller LP on Proud Records (the cartoon guy with the cigar...best record label logo ever ) just the first few I can think of, Best, Stefan
Eddie Hubbard Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Freddie Hughes " Send my baby back " [ Wand ] , Eleonore Mills [ Astroscope ] , The Lovelites " With love from " [ Uni ] The Detroit Spinners first album for Atlantic incs One of a kind ,Ghetto child , etc.My first 3 choices aren't easy to get but well worth it , put ' em on leave them on , all brilliant examples of Soul music .Best ,Eddie
Sean Hampsey Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 DJing with albums is akin to eating babies. Steady on Joe, you've obviously never heard Steve Plumb do one of his famed 'LP only' sets. Quite possibly the best 60 minutes of Soul Music I've ever heard played out - anywhere! Agree with all the other tips on here Shep. You're gonna be guaranteed to hear some real Soul Music in amongst that little lot!

I am 10 minutes away - so you dont have to pay postage
Guest soultempo Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Dramatics LPs ... Four Tops (ABC) LPs ... Lamont Dozier LPs ... Dells LPs ... Good tracks on virtually all of 'em ... best, Shaun.
Soul Shrews Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Mark, try www.dustygrooves.com for some reasonably priced LPs, their packaging is 1st class too and choose "economy mail" its cheap and the records arrive in a week or so. Cheers Paul

Hi Sean Think Joe was being sarcy cos of Shep's signature inferring R&B collectors are evil .............and by the way Mr Hampsey, that's easily the nicest thing anyone has EVER said about me (honestly!) Take care fella Cheers Steve Edited September 22, 2008 by Steve Plumb

Keep your eyes peeled at Car Boots & Tabletops.
Reg Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) thanks for the response so far lots to go at whats the best place to buy ebay or wants on here ? thanks again Hi Mark, Les Hare's shop King Bee in Chorlton is brilliant for LPs,especially crossover and 70s stuff. And he is really reasonable as well. I've got loads of things from him in the past. I dunno how far he is from you but if you came over to Manchester you could tie it in with a visit to Beatin Rhythm at the same time I suppose? Or his website is https://kingbeerecords.co.uk/ (by the way he has far more stock than what's on the website, absolutely hundreds of Northern and other soul 45s too). Cheers Reggie Edited September 22, 2008 by Reg

Just harder to cue in the heat of battle! Absolutely not comparable with playing Boots. Sean bang on sean on all points imo!
Baz Atkinson Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Steady on Joe, you've obviously never heard Steve Plumb do one of his famed 'LP only' sets. Quite possibly the best 60 minutes of Soul Music I've ever heard played out - anywhere! Agree with all the other tips on here Shep. You're gonna be guaranteed to hear some real Soul Music in amongst that little lot! Its nice when a fellow soul fan gives another a compliment,sounds a bit better than a venue been slagged off or some dig at a dj etc,heres a compliment for Shep dont worry about your high turnover of records its your hard earned that paid for them in the first place and you have great taste,most of my lps went to Al Coney in the late eighties ones I particulary played alot were the excellent the iceman cometh by jerry butler some blinders on there,also all Womack which I have retained on cd ,Dells vs the Dramatics is a most,anyone mentioned THE AWESOME Paulette Reeves album on Blue Candle,also the obligatory Hesitations albums,the list continues ,Jimmy lewis on Hotlanta,Betty Harris,The old Kent lps are certainly worth a punt also,great varying soul music !!! BAZ A.
Northern Soul Uk Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 No doubt at all, this is one of the finest albums ever produced, I still listen to it regularly even after owning it for over 20 years. Go out and buy it now! no now! NOW I SAID! Well! what yer waiting for?
Dylan Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Randy Brown "Welcome to my room" another essential LP I fdon't think has been mentioned yet.
