Oo-err! Only a year behind on this one! A few I don't think have been mentioned: Spooner & The Spoons - Wish You Didn't Have To Go - Fame Luscious 3 - Take Me As I Am - T'Suga Rays JJ Jackson - Let Me Try Again - Magna-Glide Isaac Taylor - I'm Tired Of These Changes - Ronn Carlena Williams - I Won't Be Completely Happy - Veniece Masterfleet - Well (Phase 1) - Sussex Zulema - Just Look What You Have Done - RCA South Shore Commission - Free Man - Wand/Scepter Intrepids - After You've Had Your Fling - Columbia Mighty Tom Cats - Finger In It - Winley Back into hibernation then! Cheers. Tank

Don't post very often so apologies if this rakes over old ground! Keep hearing some good old Soul/Funk stuff popping up at random in the background in some stores. Recently heard Matt Browns' 'Thank You', Ann Sexton 'You Can't Win', Melba Moore 'Standing Right Here', G.S. Herons' 'Bottle' amongst others inter-mingled with the likes of Coldplay and other chart/popular tunes by I've no idea whom!! These were not heard in cool independent fashion emporiums (which I obviously frequent a lot!) who might know about such stuff, but places like TK Maxx, Next etc. Any other unlikely tracks/locations to report? Cheers.

Tonight I been listening in a mellow style to... Love Committee - You Are The One For Me (T-Lectric LP) Leon Haywood - They Don't Make 'Em Like You (CBS LP) Geoffrey Stoner - Brand New Woman / Understanding Love (Ovation LP) Z.Z.Hill - Universal Love (Columbia LP) Johnny Nash - Say It Ain't True (CBS LP) William DeVaughan - You Gave Me A Brand New Start (CD only - omitted from Be Thankful Vinyl LP) Thelma Houston - Nothing Left To Give (UK Mowest LP) Syreeta - What Love Has Joined Together (UK Mowest LP) Not rare. Don't care. Enjoy.

I'll second that Epic. The (K)oncord re-issue LP version sounds like a re-take, but I've never heard the take from the original Brown Door LP either....so?? Still in my top ten Highland Room memories however. Cheers.

May I ask why this record is under discussion? Have a copy somewhere getting dusty, but recall it being worthy of a Russ Meyer soundtrack if nothing else? (You gotta admit it was worth the excuse to attach the pic!) Grrrrrr!!!

Hi Andy & All, Locals will know I moved to London shortly after you started the Rock Foundation, but I did DJ a couple of times (as Phil's photo posts testify!!) Tony P, Rug, Phil, Sid and Danny really did have some top rare sounds back then, but I was really getting into new Modern stuff regardless of value. Phil and I were also in a minority of playing album only tracks (at the time considered strictly un-PC!!) I'd be lying to remember any playlists from the time, but date-line wise I know I was into things like Shirley Brown "I Can't Give You Up" (UK only 45 release-and a freebie from Crip!), Eleanor Mills "Stop Accusing Me" LP, Bobby Womack "Something For My Head" LP, Whispers "One For The Money", Coke Escovedo "Rebirth", Freddie Hughes "Don't You Leave", Teddy Pendergrass "More I Get, More I Want" etc. Also remember the barrackings from Smudge & Lance et al to play Parliament, Brass Construction, Hidden Strength etc. Politics eh? Still abounds now!!!!! Cheers!

Also dug out some early E,W&F stuf...'Zanzibar', 'Evil'..and lest we forget 'Happy Feelin's'.....big Colin Curtis spin..

Nice picks Tone! ''New York Times' & 'You Make me Feel So Good' (B.Humphrey)....

Line 'em up peeps! Havin' a Mizell sesh tonight....fave tunes would be interesting??? You'll all list the goodies...but my fave is 'Fantasy' (J.Hammond)...and erm...'The Trip' (B.Humphrey)...and..oh yeah!..'Lansanas Priestess'...and....'Places & Spaces'...and.......

"Too Late" - Fabulous Modern Soul dancer "She's Gone" - Hall & Oates came second!!! "Never Had A Love Like This Before" - So smoove Rare Groove! "More Than A Woman" - come on and admit it! Great tune. "Check It Out" LP - cracking J.Bristol LP.."If That's The Way You Want It"..."Wish You Were Here With Me Mary"...etc. ...oh? And did I mention Chubby & The Turnpikes "I Didn't Try"............ Great, great group.

Good spot with the Intrepids! Great Mecca spin!

You could at least be a bit more specific JB!!! Great knowledge as ever mate! Tony.

Thanks Alan..that's the one!!!

What's that Thomas East 45 Cliff Steel's pioneering again? I know you're there Val....remind me!!!! "Follow That...." something?

Hokis Pokis "Nowhere" - don't hear that mentioned much in dispatches! Me & me ol' mate Phil love that one! Dare I say perfectly complemented by Crown Heights Affair "Dreamin' A Dream"!!! True De-Lite!!!!!!!

Donny Hathaway - Someday We'll All Be Free (Real lump-in-throater for me!!) Sam Dees - So Tied Up Marvin Gaye - If I Should Die Tonight / Distant Lover Marvin Gaye - It's Madness Bobby Womack - If You Don't Want My Love Ledgends - Gotta Let You Go Mike & Mike - Still Hurt Over You Art Robins - I Can't Stand To See You Cry Linda Jones - Hypnotized Harold Melvin/Teddy - If You Don't Know Me By Now Don Hollinger - Let Her Go Ta!

Great lists from all and apologies if I'm duplicating 'em, but... Kashif "Help Yourself"/"Stone Love" Maze "Changin' Times" Luther "You Stopped Loving Me" Chaka Khan "Move Me No Mountain" Keni Burke "Hang Tight"/"All Night" Odyssey "Don't Tell Me Tell Her" Glenn Jones "Meet Me Halfway" ZZ Hill "Universal Love" Cheers!

5th Dimension, Garland Jeffries - both pretty good too!

Hi Andy! ....and others. Thanks for the info. Always thought it was an unreleased thing Levine obtained. Another one was 'Quazer One' by Cleveland Eaton...label, date ???? Cheers, Tank

Benny. Might be barking up the wrong tree but I've got a Norman Connors tune going on here...maybe from one of his Arista LP's?

Thanks for that info Simon

That's two of us mate! Michael henderson is a Supreme version! Kiki Dee?? Saw an LP down my local dump just today and left it. Better go back tomorrow..........!!!!!!!!!!!

Simon. Is that Disco Soul a label, or title of a compilation? Cheers!
