Pete S Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I was reading through this thread and it got me wondering about some of the other compilation albums I've got. I've never been a serious collector (as some of the titles below might show) but I was just curious as to the collectability of them even if its just for novelty purposes: Out on the Floor Tonight (Inferno 001) featuring Dobie Gray, Frank Beverley, The Cairstairs, Four Perfections etc. Keeping the Faith Vol.2 (PRC5573) featuring Joy Lovejoy, Mitch Ryder, Casualeers and sleeve notes by Tilly Rutherford (one time associate of Pete Waterman?) Chess/Janus Mobile Discotheque Vol.1(6310 128) featuring Denise Lasalle, Fontella Bass, Soulful Strings, Tony Clarke etc. The Best of Northern Tracks (Spark SRLM 502) featuring Tommy Hunt, Gene Latter, Wigans Ovation??) Stax Northern Disco Sounds(PYE label with STXB3002 number) featuring sleeve note by DJ Frank(Ian Dewhirst) and tunes by William Bell,Johnny Taylor, Major Lance etc. I also have some of the first releases of albums under the Kent label from the 6T's/100Club crew(For Dancers Only, For Dancers Also, Moving On Up). If anybody can shed any light that would be great. Thanks. None really worth anything but Stax Northern Disco sounds is notable for only having 2 northern tracks on it isn't it Ian p.s. I thought I was the only soulie left in Wombourne Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
KevH Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Harry, i have the later Grapevine 2000 series 45' of Percy Stone's "Chained" that was demo only, but(i believe) was withdrawn (for whatever reasons?). Always wanted the Betty Boo 45', the one that was an unreleased thing (once again i think it was unreleased till grapevine cut it) Brett Say it isn't so?.Brilliant Northern,crap repro tho.Just about playable cranked up.The volume that is . Taken off the master tape i believe.The instru on the flip is blinkin awesome repro by comparison. My dream....if someone could find a male vocal with a better production.

Freebie Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 None really worth anything but Stax Northern Disco sounds is notable for only having 2 northern tracks on it isn't it Ian p.s. I thought I was the only soulie left in Wombourne Originally from Kingswinford but moved to Wombourne when I married 25 years ago. You might be interested in the Stax album, I bought it from a Pete Smith in Wombourne when I was a young lad aged about 16, its got a name and village address on the back in the top left corner.It was only this thread that reminded me of it. Could it be there are two of you? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes love the Eula Cooper, just got myself a stone mint one, as my last copy was a bit beat. Most of the Wylie Hester stuff never saw a 45 release apart from 'Say it isn't so' Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
