Some cracking picks by members of this forum recently, by the way. The Major IV "Down in the Ghetto" Venture

One I've just picked up; The Major IV "Down in the Ghetto" Venture I broke my own rules on this one falling for the blurb on the Drop Down Auction before checking what I could get it for on discogs. There is however a uniqueness about the copy though, as it's been mislabelled as Phil Flowers Discontented on Dot. Puts me in mind of The Exits "another sundown". A real pedigree with a swirling production by Micky Stevenson and Bob Relf.

Not seen this boot before, are they 70's or much later Pete?

Here's a few: The Temptations: Beauty Is Only Skin Deep / You're Not An Ordinary Girl TMG 578 Shorty Long: Chantilly Lace / Your Love Is Amazing TMG 600 Jimmy Ruffin: What Becomes Of The Broken-Hearted / Baby I've Got It TMG 577 - Stevie Wonder: Blowing In The Wind / Ain't That Asking For Trouble TMG 570 The Contours: It's So Hard Being A Loser / Your Love Grows Precious Every Day TMG 605

Junior Walker and the All Stars: "The Things I Do"

Having lost one Motown Soulster it got me thinking of another favourite of mine and T's that never failed to rock the house on any of the occasions we were able to see him in our youth. Junior Walker & the All Stars (the things I do) This in my view is a much underrated track from his Soul LP "Home Cookin"

Kim Weston That's Groovy MGM

I would say that this is a collectors choice as I've never heard it played out anywhere as I guess it's too down tempo. For me it's an evocative summer record, that I picked up cheap many moons ago. It's still doesn't command any great price but to me it's class. Kim Weston That's Groovy MGM.

Another that's sky rocketed out of my league, superb vocal group soul. Top pick IMOP.

Showing off now , with this rarity! Fantastic vocal group, great stormer too!

A big favourite of mine from the Hacienda days about '91, always related the lyrics back to Wigan too!

Fabulous tribute to the 00 Soul showman. I often recall his appearance on pre-allnighter Golden Torch New Year's, which was sparsely attended on a very wintry night.circa . Following a big intro by Chris Burton he came on stage wearing that white Elvis style cat suit and rocked the house! At least that's how I remember it, can anyone confirm the date?

The Enchanted Five Have You Ever (That's What It Means) CVS

Glad you're feeling better Dave, we can all walk that path occasionally. I think that the music helps to keep us rooted and takes us to a better place.. If you don't mind my saying that is.. Regards the Ambers, fabulous two sider - another that's become hard to find and expensive. Here's a recent acquisition from me: The Enchanted Five Have You Ever (That's What It Means) CVS
