just got this (flip is a great ballad!) and this... (also a great flip "they were wrong")

nice popcorn-y tune...

nice kittens tune... this is the flip of "is it over baby"

also, if you love female vocal (ballads, girlie, mid tempo) stuff, stop into a record shop in San Francisco called "Rooky Ricardos" on lower Haight street. the owner, Dick Vivian, is SUPER knowledgable about all this stuff. it's worth spending a long afternoon just chatting with him...

a bit higher tempo. but love it because the production just builds and builds and builds...

someone posted "piece of the sky", but also love this...

super classy!

love it. spin this out sometimes. sounds really nice and heavy over the PA system...

fantastic. i love MGM catalogue of classy soul. i spin this out sometimes...

another mid tempo (both sides are boss) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNJl2LBCay4

a bit more uptempo, but big production and powerful vocals from della

how bout this for a lawsuit?

this just arrived. does anyone know if this is the same bobby brown that sang "put your mind on me" on King? voice sounds different, but that could be change in style? (King record is more R&B)

this just arrived. sweet.

and a nice mid tempo one (love the heavy production)

here is a nice ballad

really nice...

love this production - just pulses with drama. you've got tons of great tunes. you don't live in Cali, do you? we should run an event together! - Leo

love it! i spin this June Adams out sometimes...

YES - amazing!

My friend sent me this great video of the Beach Boys recording the song good vibrations. my question refers to section 2:00-2:10 where they show BOTH an upright bassist AND an electric Fender bass guitar being used. was this technique common (or ever used?) in soul recordings?

yes! i started a thread on SS a long time ago specifically asking if the "Stafford sound" (which, to my limited knowledge would include many of the songs featured on this thread) was in any way related to the Belgian Popcorn scene. they seem to have a large overlap to me.

i LOVE this one. forgot about it til now...

love this too. so dramatic!

i don't know. i assume its the same group as the Tiffanys on Josie... ...who have this gem...
