the sir sidney wallace, "green power," came out on zudan with two different flips: "the grinder" and a ballad whose name escapes me. annoyingly, most copies that say "the grinder" are mistakenly labeled and play that same ballad whose name escapes me. however, i have heard one copy on which "the grinder" is a funk instrumental. does anyone have a copy of THAT that i can buy?

Impossible for me to choose just 5, but here's 10 that never fail to get my motor running...I'm sure I'm leaving out some obvious ones that I like even better than some of these, though... Saxie Russell, "El Monkey" (Ran-Dee) Junius Bugs Hughes, "I'm What the Doctor Ordered" (Hew) Johnny Watson, "I Say I Love You" (King) Hank Ballard, "What's Your Name" (King) Barons, "While the Cat's Away" (Soul) King Coleman, "Black Bottom Blues" (Columbia) Andre Williams, "Thunder Thighs" (unreleased) Melvin Davis, "I Won't Be Your Fool" (Fortune) Willie Spencer, "Riding Shotgun" (Garnet) Billy Watkins, "I'm Tired" (Chartmaker etc.)

THE HOLIDAYS, "All That Is Required Is You"/"I'll Keep Coming Back" (instr.) (Revilot)...Dark and soulful with great falsetto lead vocal, hard drums, and folk-funky acoustic guitar, glaringly George Clintonesque in its off-kilter beauty...one of the toughest on the label; doesn't really turn up in Detroit (let's just say I've found more copies of Jackey Beavers in the past five years than of this one)...VG+...125 7.

"EMANUEL LASKEY," "You Better Quit It"/"Don't Lead Me On Baby" ("Thelma" 115)...Quote marks because it's an early-90s boot of unreleased versions of these songs, and not clear it's Laskey singing...great Detroit soul regardless...M-...20 14. WILLIE WEST, "It's Been So Long"/"Said to Myself" (Warner Bros.)...Tough to find with the B-side, which is solid New Orleans seventies funk...VG+...50 15.

FREDDIE TERRELL, "Soul Know How to Make Music"/"Respect Yourself" (Shout promo)...Highly recommended dance-floor destroyer which introduces the instruments one by one, building from just hand-claps and congas to a full frontal assault punctuated by stinging distorted guitar..."If you leave, don't you go far, Freddie Terrell gonna play his guitar!"...M-...100 (also a very DJ-able VG copy for 40) 17. TOMMY "T", "Love Makes the World Go Round"/"The Blues" (Inter/Soul)...Nice mid-seventies mid-tempo Detroit dancer...could see it going big in the right hands...(it's NOT the Deon Jackson song)...VG++...20 18. TIMMY WILLIS, "Give Me a Little Sign"/"Don't Want to Set Me Free" (Epic)...Major-label mayhem: A is superb crossover that often shows up as a same-on-both-sides promo; the elusive B is hard-as-nails funk for the dance floor with psychy guitar and raw vocal...1972...Detroit...Marlin McNichols (Counts, Lunar Funk, Bad Smoke, Earl English, etc., etc.) production...VG+...100 19. LOWELL FULSOM, "No Hard Feelings"/"Everyday I Have the Blues" (Kent)...Great "Tramp"-esque funk blues with breakbeat intro...M-...10 20.

you must have listened to my radio show....no spares available at the moment, though.

one of my all-time favorites! can't believe it isn't more popular (though it's not really a dancer)...fits nicely with the falcons' "good good feeling" and the new holidays' "maybe so, maybe no" as all share that stunning world-is-about-to-end gloomy/beautiful detroit sound....

in my experience limiting the weight on the stylus is not as important for preventing damage to styrene records as the alignment of the stylus...it really must be straight up and down, perpendicular to the grooves. one interesting thing is that a hissy monophonic styrene record can be given new life if you play it with a mono needle instead of the standard stereo needle. the mono needle hits the groove where it was intended to be hit, avoiding damage previously caused by stereo needles hitting it not quite where it was intended to be hit, if you follow me.

i believe it is indeed the same firebirds. one of the exquisites singles on crow is called "stick out your foot and dance" pts. 1 and 2. m

great record!! there are many, many FEMALE versions of this...the strange thing about murphy's version is the words take on an entirely different meaning when sung from a male point of view! it's no longer the standard western idea of a woman demanding her man go out and earn the bread, but a man demanding his woman go out and earn the bread, which of course puts things in an entirely different perspective and suggests a different sort of arrangement, shall we say....
