Love Train

At the moment "No time for you" on Imperial. Brilliant!

same as the the b- side of the tune on dynamics.....great

I DIG YOUR ACT.......GOTTA BE THEIR BEST :thumbsup:

Agree with many of the above "I Dig Your Act", Class pure class,

Also don't think released as a single was a version of the Williams & Watson classic "Two For The Price Of One"

On a cheapo album "Four For The Price Of One"

At the moment "Whip It On Me" as its fresh to me but I know I'll go back to my big fav "I Dig Your Act' by the end of the month.

yup, not as good tho' (IMHO).

Grant - came out in 73, think Bell issued it to cash in on the Phil Int success -

Bell 378 - Look Over Your Shoulder / Four For The Price Of One

Not played it lately but does it not have fake crowd noise?

'I Dig Your Act' my favourite 45 with 'Ship Ahoy' one of my all time favourite soul albums

My Favourite Person

Imagination

Darling Darling baby

Message In Our Music

Brandy

No time for you & Hold on

and if you are djn and need a wee wee you could always play, I love music, Mr Mischief gave me that advice as it gives you just over 6 minutes lol

...either "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Yesterday)" or "Look Over Your Shoulder", really couldn't get it down to just one of those....

Plenty to choose from but 'Listen To The Clock On The Wall' blows me away every time.

HI ALL

I DIG YOUR ACT... ALL TIME FAVOURITE

TO PROVE I LOVE YOU...CURRENT FAVOURIT

JOE

I think its a close race between HOLD ON and I'll NEVER FORGET YOU, Both are very classy songs, and it surely doesn't hurt that they are perfect to dance to.. Unstoppable.

boxing.gif my favourate is the classic lookey lookey on neptune its not there best but it was one of my very first inports, they were so rare in 1970 i thought i was the dogs with it, it must be alian to younger Soul BROTHERS AND SISTERS that finding such items was a bliss from aboveph34r.gif DAVE KIL

Best single - I love music

Best LP - Backstabbers

Best label - Neptune

For me i like Lipstick Traces but Love Train will always be there best ever track and for one it's the very few if not only track you will ever see on VH1 classic since there was a even a video shot for the track. Well it's the only O'Jays video i ever seen on VH1 classic or VH1 when they played really old video's

Agree with soulmanash

The O`Jays put out quite a few crackers but "I`ll Never Forget You" and "I Dig Your Act" stick out for me.

Edited by The Big Lebowski

I love all the O'jays 60's stuff, Imperials' output mainly, but there Bell recordings too, but not really a fan from Neptune onwards. So on from that...here are what i like of theree output.

I'll never let you go.

A solid detroit production, with a heavy mid tempo beat, much in the same vein as "I'll never forget you".

It wont hurt.

This track appeared on the flip of "You can't keep a good man down" The Gentlemen Four on Wand a 450+ squid tune, and it ain't a match for this version by the O'jays, and its 20 to 30 quid at the most. Brilliant mid pace-mid tempo Group vocal with great detroit feel production again.

Let it all out.

A mid pace, So Soulful, group vocal again. But more of a 'big city' feel in production. Yet an arabian, almost, feel to the Arrangement brings this into the mellow side of tings. A Beautiful track.

Girl Machine.

WoW WeE i wanna pee!! starts off with a guitar riff solo, and off it goes, with strong arrangement from Mr.H.B Barnhum chugging along with a good old fashioned "northern" feel and a doo wop tinged vocal backing. Yet it drives on, with breaks in all the right places. A driving early "Northern" Dancer.

Whip it on me baby.

More H.B production with a Basic Latin feel, but a driving beat and vocals to match. This is a WINNER!! How tunes like this are negleted, for the whole, is beyond me.

That's Enough.

A slightly earlier release 62? or 3. Again more chugging rhthym from it's arranger...H.B again. A bit of a winner with the RnB crowd.

How does it feel.

As above.

There's a couple more I'm sure, yet i can't reccollect at the Mo. All these above tunes are on Imperial by the way. None of them bank breakers and well worth the Moo-lar!!

Mike.

BENTINCK, BACK ROOM, 19TH JUNE.

im with you on this one Bri

Even if I love their 70's stuffs (Backstabbers was one of the first soul Lp I've bought), definitly my 2 favs are "lipstick traces" and "I'll never forget you", just pure class!!!

I think its a close race between HOLD ON and I'll NEVER FORGET YOU, Both are very classy songs, and it surely doesn't hurt that they are perfect to dance to.. Unstoppable.

there are too many to list, most are classy in one way or another.

at a push it would be

i'm so glad i found you"

deeper in love with you

lipstick traces.

i'll never forget you

i dig your act.

imho all class records. only stuffi don't care for is the period on astroscope

bit messy 70's stuff. george kerr great writer/producer on the best tracks.

O'Jays - Stand Tall (1963) this one for meO'Jays - Stand Tall (1963) .mp3

We don't do mp'3 here. :lol:

I'll go with "997 arguments" :thumbup:
