Cheers Paul. I've got the Finesse album - funny what time does to our memories. I can remember I am Somebody being played out back then but not this. Funny old world. I've got loads of sealed albums in my office at work which I bought from someone on here about four years ago - gonna bring em home, unwrap em and spin em! Peter

Was it his I am Somebody 45 which had some plays in the early 80's - I think it was might have been Adam? Anything else? Cheers peter P

Yep, another top tune from the man. Peter

Doesn't he just Paul - reminds be a bit Barry White on some tracks. He wrote some big, big tracks. Peter

I was playing some Johnny Bristol stuff last night and doing a bit of research on tinternet. Blimey, he wrote and produced/co produced loads of stuff as well as performing some of his own stuff. Brilliant. So, here's mine for the day. Man up in the Sky - Mr Johnny Bristol. A bit of very soulful gospel for the afternoon. Peter

Very nice Paul. The very, very under rated Ms Jean Carne. Peter

Blimey - this is a traditional northern soul record isn't it? I'm not sure if I've heard that before - nice one buddy. Yep, I like this. Peter

Why not be honest Chalky! LOL I agree - it's shite. But eack to their own Steve. Peter

Great article about a very important and influential artist. Thanks for sharing. Peter

Don't know this - it's a belter! I'll post the clip - people need to be dancing to this! Peter

Hi Steve Sorry, and happy to be corrected. That makes absolute sense - and it did seem odd when I read that after checking it out - might have been on discogs. The orange just looks righht doesn't it. But, as I'm always pissed I may well have read it wrong. I'll check it out again later. As you say BTIB is a stunning soul record - so simple as well really. Great voice has old Frankie/Larry - note the diffferent spellings of his surname on the two releases as well. Cheers Steve Peter

Hi Mate I think there may already be a lengthy thread on here about that very subject. Peter

Is it just me who rarely flips a record to play the usually unknown flip? Doh! Came across something on you tube a bit back and have only just cottoned onto the fact that I have the record - but to me it was a flip side I've never played or heard. So, a great double sider from me today. Frankie Sanders - Take Another Look - the played out side which is great. But flip it and you get a stunning piece of southern soul - Blues time in Birmingham. Can't believe it's still such a cheapy. The one in the youtube clip is a second press - I have it on the Juana. think I like the Sho Me lable more! Give it some proper volume and bass! Peter

Which Lincoln do mate - whom of the Lincoln lots do? Seem to recall you mentioning an RB evening a while back. i know some people from Lincoln which is why I ask. P

That's what I thought. Before embarking on a very sucessful and illlustrious solo career. Never crystal clear about who sang which song at HM and the BNs

Get Swifty on it - he's always breaking fecking records! He's not a million miles away from you either - ovver bridge and yer nearly there! Peter

You can't say it's a wang fangled modern phenomonen though - that 12 is nearly 40 years old! I don't know much but does that make that a pretty early 12 release? Peter

LOL

I think they're two different records - and the first theory you heard is corrrect. It's Valentino's first record without Bobby. Bobby has obviously recorded it himself - without the Valentino's. That's a decent story for a Friday night. Peter

There's one here for a few quid https://www.ebay.com/itm/BOBBY-WOMACK-CAN-UNDERSTAND-HARRY-HIPPIE-12-VINYL-MINT-/281006011957?pt=UK_Records&hash=item416d437635

They sound totally different Martyn. I'm not even sure that it is Bobby on that clip you posted - it's a half decent impersonation, but i don't think it's him. I might well be wrong. I've not played my 12 for years and actually - it's bloody good! I'm rubbish at techy stuff - I'll have a think about how I might post it up. It's interesting. Peter

That sounds really different from a clip I played earlier from youtube - hang on I'll go and get the 12 on - it's deffo Bobby - erm, maybe not deffo?
