Virtually the same year! And you've got the added bonus of the superb (never released before) Tommy Hunt - 'Pretty Part Of You'

Don't we all!! No worries mate. Unfortunately, I only have 2 of these: THE BEST OF - LONDON 1967 (fantastic album! and rare) YOU BETTER GET IT - ATLANTIC 1969 (although label say's 1965?) John

Would that be the socks n' sandals!!!

PM'd ya!

The one's I listed are all UK releases.

Some people have already mentioned the 'younger' and more enthusiastic crowds in the rest of Europe (Spain & Germany spring to mind). I know the scene in the USA is also 'younger'. Just makes you think that the scene is gonna survive (when we're all gone) outside the UK . Was actually talking to a couple of record shop owners yesterday, they claim the youngsters biggest wants are heavy metal & prog rock....but they are not prepared to pay high prices. They also tell me that rock n' roll has died a death..... makes you think....

ATLANTIC 5043 - THE NEW BOSS (1965) ATLANTIC 587009 - THE LOVE YOU SAVE (1966) ATLANTIC 587053 - IVE GOT TO DO A LITTLE BETTER (1967) LONDON 8334 - THE BEST OF (1967) (CONTAINS 'I Wanna Be Free') ATLANTIC 588079 - GREATEST HITS (1967) ATLANTIC 588104 LIVE AND LIVELY (1968) ATLANTIC 588118 - SOUL COUNTRY (1968) ATLANTIC 588130 - YOU BETTER GET IT (1969) ATLANTIC 588193 - BUYING A BOOK (1969) ATLANTIC 40239 - FROM THE ROOTS CAME THE RAPPER (1972) MERCURY 6338093 - I GOTCHA (1972)

Thanks for thinking of us Ohio, I have a copy now....but will still watch the one on ebay to see what it fetches.

Thanks

Not the same but a similar type of thing, I recently picked up 'Motown: The Golden Years' by Bill Dahl...it's a great book featuring all the Motown artists with great 60's photos. Back section is dedicated to the 'unknown' artists. There's a colour section with photos by Weldon A. McDougal III who many know as one of the 'Harthon' production team. He worked with Motown artists during the late 60's/early 70's. The one downside to it is the cover is awful (imo)...instead of using some stunning 60's pictures...they've opted for a few of McDougals (casual) 70's pics. If anyone's interested, the book is published by 'Krause Publications' (www.krause.com)

Superb mid/down tempo, and the sublime breaks are great!

Flip Charles Conrad..... now

Wow! That's a great release. Love the tune, has monstrous potential. Never seen any Phillipino releases before.

He's definitely lost them!!! Anyway, he's not interested anymore, don't even think he has one record anywhere in his house. He doesn't even come to our local Soul nights.

Bobby Paris....ahh...I remember hearing this for the first time, going up the stairs and my younger brother blasting it out of the speakers! I knew then and there that I would prise it out of his hands with the temptation of a few marbles....

Also the flip too Ady...'I Got Love'...what another Northern stormer!!! Presume this was unissued too?

...on Action (US).

All the above!! Plus: Tommy Hunt - Pretty Part Of You (came out on Horace's backed with Melba Moore which was the second release of her, first one on Kent 100 club Anniversary). Absolutely all of the 100 club singles!!!

Is the Symphonics 'Guilty'?

Thanks Honkey!!! Superb Soul sounds, every track's a winner. Quality tuneage. Like the quote on the flip of the CD cover ...'Not for sale. Soul is for lovers. Don't steal the love'

Don't think it's rare, just great Northern and sure to be in-demand if it becomes known. None on ebay at the moment though!

Here's one to chase... 'Hurts On Me, Baby' (Stang) Blistering 60's 'Northern' soul...unlike any of their other Stang releases!!! Backed by Willie & Mighty magnificents I do believe? It's on the flip of 'That's All'. Possibly an unissued 60's recording from their Hog days?

So, why does the UK copy say 'A Vault Recording'....

I think this is a fabulous tune! Played it a couple of weeks ago at a local scooter get-together and my fellow DJ (Ian, soulad) wanted it off me, first time he'd heard it and it blew him away! When I explained that they are around £15 he could'nt believe it! Out and out Northern with a kind of 'Hesitations' group feel about it.
