All respect mate but I can't stand Barry White and didn't he have instrumentals on all his B sides anyway?
-
I vaguely remember it, I thought it was some kind of 'teach yourself Motown bass' thing!
-
Is it from that cassette that came out about 12 years ago?
-
Absolutely spot on and basically thats what I keep trying to stress about 'the old days' - it was much more fun when anything went. By the way, The Whole Thing was an American advert for Alka Seltzer. It must have been popular because it often gets referenced in current programs (in one episode of The Simpsons Homer says "I can't believe I ate the whole thing')

How the f*ck are you doing that???
-
That accapella is unbelievable...imagine starting it off like that and then slamming the backing track up after the first couple of lines...
-
Doesn't add anything, it's an alternative version...
-
Don't know why I bother :graynone:
-
Aw come on, you've got to like this one...

Johnny & The Attractions Gayfeet 10" eh? Looks like the word is spreading
-
I think I asked this before and someone obliged but I can't find the thing now - can anyone send me a good quality mp3 of It's A Bitter Pill To Have To Swallow by Marvin Gaye please? much appreciated
-
Mark, it was massive but an equal amount of people hated it...I hated it from it's first play and still do, it's a mess.

Having not learned how to interject comments yet, I apologise, but let's see: Cats Eyes - yes of course it's crap but it brings back memories Love Hustle - horrendous Ral Donner - one of the records that made me pack in Wigan Coloured Man - sounded good blasted out loud The Whole Thing - never liked it, good to dance to though Holly St James - wasn't keen at the time, grew on me Five & A Penny - awful have to take you up on Afternoon Of The Rhino though, not many instrumentals sounded as powerful as that and it was absolutely perfect for the time.

Golden Gate records were a third of the people who got 'the haul' with John Manship
-
I have a spare copy of this now if anyone wants it: BYRON LEE feat KEN LAZARUS - THE RECORD - JAMACAN SOUL LABEL condition EX- £35 fantastic version of HB Barnum/Ben E King...there's a soundfile up somewhere cheers pete
-
That's called Beautiful Dreams and it's on Ember. GREAT RECORD! The reason she's going on about her eyes is because I think the line before mentions tears in them. There's a superb colour promo film of this which gets shown now and again on retro 60's programmes where's she's dancing with this playing in the background. I've actually got an alternative version of Beautiful Dreams which has a bloomin theramin playing over the top of it (Precision cassette version)

Mike Vickers - On the brink - UK Columbia. Covered up as Boogaloo Investigator by Matt Parsons Orchestra. Theme from The Wednesday Play 1966. Great track! p.s. I am honoured at being called an oddball, it beats c*nt
-
There's definitely no 70's Ali, just 50's and early 60's - but thank you anyway
-
I've never seen one like that! I had a Spanish one with a pic sleeve and I think it played the US version.
-
The Buckinghams presumably?
-
I've got a pretty huge list of records to go through and there are literally hundreds of obscure things which look like they might be interesting - could anyone who knows a good deal about r & b possibly help me go through these and mark off items? Looks like a fair bit of work - an hour or two maybe. I don't want to send millions of copies out so I'd just better send it to the couple of people who offer, if any do, will put a message below saying subject closed if that happens thanks a lot
-
Oh God, I got Mick Smith a copy of that off a list sent to me for about $50...
-
Just going by what I remember - I never heard the US version til I bought one in about 1980
-
Oh you lot are just too easy to wind up, I'm going to take the dogs a walk and by the time I get back I expect to receive loads of abuse for having no taste
