  1. OK but it's the other side that does it for me or is it "just an illusion" . Cracking tune.
  2. Underrated in my book:
  3. Picked up a mint British Chess copy of this up from the Bay for a fiver. I'm sure that the opening intro must have been sampled somewhere, such a fab riff. Billy Stewart Everyday I have The Blues Backed with crossover perfection:
  4. A missed opportunity for an ultimate Stax/Volt compilation IMOP. Though off subject really, there are some good choices on there.
  5. Double up Joyce Bond "Sugar " UK Island and the original (which I don't have) sadly by Joe Tex "if sugar was as sweet as you" UK Atlantic AT 4081 as featured in Tarantino's film Grindhouse.
  6. Flippin 'eck, never seen Record Club so far down the list of hot topics. Anyway thought I'd plumb for Tony & Tandy to get it back up the list. Funnily enough I've always preferred this side cos it's what I bought it as a new release from Bews , Burslem when it came out over 45 years ago. Longer than those old tunes by Glen Miller , that they used to play at that time on the BEEB's Light Programme, back in the old days. Anyway it's a big tune, especially when the kitchen sink is thrown in: Tony & Tandy Two Can Make It Together Red Atlantic
  7. Appears as an MP3 on the "skull" website, though I only found it by accident as it looks illegal to me.
  8. Just got round to picking one of these up, nearly 20 years after it was put out as a previously un-released track on a Goldmine "Groovesville Masters" CD then on 45 by them, two good sides by the way with Johnny Taylor Love on a Lease Plan, on the flip. J J Barnes' version being one of my favourite cross-over tracks of all time, unbelievably LV kills his version and goes even deeper:
  9. Here's one I picked up after browsing one of Tim Brown's Rare Soul Reviews. One of the cheaper items in the mag that was subject to scrutiny and an Homer Banks composition too boot. Funnily enough I read the day after originally posting that it's got a recent CD release on :The Other Side Of The Trax - Stax Volt 45 rpm Rarities 1964-1968 - reviewed eleswhere on Soul-source. Sounds very much like Otis should have given it a go too:Johnnie Taylor - "Strange Things (happening to my heart)"
  10. Talkin about classic oldies, here's a tune that is greatly neglected on account of the fact that most folks go for 't other side. Sounding very "Parliament" - ary , written and produced by William McKinley Hutchison for the group he was instrumental in forming as The Versatiles, until label boss, Johnny Rivers, changed their name to 5th. Dimension - I’ll Be Lovin’ You Forever UK Liberty: LBF 15356 :
  11. Again funny, but nothing misleading, but surely Jackie Edwards is not worth over £400 with writing on label? Surely there must have been a few thousand pressed? https://www.ebay.com/itm/291674435273?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  12. Too late with that suggestion Mart, the wife got it in first.:-)
  13. Talking of Bobby, his version of this being the first record we danced together to at The Golden Torch, I recently came across this calypso version from 1963, UK only I think (perhaps as well). I've posted for the novelty value. Jimmy Lloyd "Call on Me"
  14. I very rarely post anything I havn't got myself but as this is on the want's list and I would guess not that well known, I thought it worth a post. Laura Lee "Are You Doing Me Wrong " This was un-issued from a 1983 Japanese Chess best of LP :
  15. "Good - plays with a skip" https://www.ebay.com/itm/281921449305?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  16. The Third Guitar , have a number of prized funk soul release on Rojac. Including this, sounding more Chicago than the Windy City: The Third Guitar Sad Girl Rojac 120
  17. Undoubted Curtis influence, new to me - nice!
  18. I doubt if Gerry "Goeffin" got his Royalties on this one? Very nice version though!
