Doing the next Cheap as Chips night on Friday 25th June and if the last one was anything to go by it'll be a stormer.

Anyway, I've got my Cheap as Chips playbox but I've just added two more delicious tunes to it today and would love to hear your favourite Cheapies. Any with soundclips would be greatly appreciated.

My top three at the moment are:

Alfreda Brockington - Your love has got me chained and bound - Phil-La (been around for ever and just got itself back in my playbox)

Afro Blues Quintet Plus one - La la la la la - Mira (my tip for the next year if you like your latin - got the makings of a monster)

Jeanette Williams - Stuff - Backbeat (every home should have this - would punch a hole through concrete)

Cheers and enjoy.

Good call. Lots of quality underplayed cheapies from the Stairsteps, Playgirls Love, The Girl I Love, Stay Close To Me and many others.

Agreed - right on the money there mate!

Three from me then

Bobby Powell-Do Something For Yourself

Joe Tex-Baby Be Good

Russ Lewis-Brand New Recipe

ATB

Tony

for me 3 songs i aloways like which are cheap is

Sam and Dave - You Don't Know What You Mean To Me

Jimmy James - A Man Like Me and

Alex Brown - Love Really Hurts Without You

What a pointless post, we all bought records far cheaper years ago And as for constellations it was more like 20 years ago and it was more than £2 back then. The whole point of the topic is what can you buy cheap TODAY.

O.K. then here's one for ya. TONY MANERO, USE IT BEFORE YOU LOSE IT. His great version of the Bobby Valentin classic Latin mover. Brilliant tune and perfect for today's scene IMO. Can't get much newer either !!

Jo Armstead - I've been turned on

good shout Azza!

some great value records

Jesse James - I Know I'll Find Another - Zay

Manhatthans - Give Him Up - Deluxe

Barbara lynn - Nice And Easy - Jetstream

Since I am always moaning about not much actual soul discussions on here, should join on this one, at last a thread about soul music, its always intersting thread and since 99.9% of my records fits in here, of great interest to me . Some off the top of my herad that are already in Refosoul

are

Darrow Fletcher - I Like The The Way (Revue) Record of this thread for me was the Jeanette Williams Stuff tip in the very first post, fantastic record, old Ady Harley tip and absolute monster if you don't mind your dancers with a twist in their oomph, well I would say if you like that record, you should like this, a real powerhouse from someone who is winging his way to being one of my favourite singers.

Dramatics - Choosing Up On You - (Cadet) 70's with a little balls unlike the other record we were talking about on the other thread, smooth and rough at the same time for me this.

Brenda & Tabluations - A Love You Can Depend On (Top And Bottom) Pretty sure this was one of the first records I remember from Wigan, thanks to the gentleman that is Dave Evison, and I have never tired of its beautiful ebullience ever since, fantastic feel good dance ditty, would love to shake my tail feather to it again.

Can't put links to it at the moment but they are there if some kind soul would like to do this.

JJ Daniels - Mr Lonesome - Sureshot

I was going to mention this Mr Chalk, still one of the best new dancers I have heard this decade (or last decadif you want to be pedantic!).

3 from the top of my head:

Whispers - Needle In A Haystack / Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong (Soul Clock)

Vitamin E - Sharing (Buddah)

Al Wilson - Be Concerned (Playboy)

THE DRAMATICS - CHOOSING UP ON YOU - CADET -

Stay Close To Me is brilliant...loads of them on UK Buddah

Think you'll find that there aren't so many of the first UK issue, Phil....

Three sublime records that you should never have to pay more than a tenner max for (each):

LITTLE DOOLEY - IT'S GOT TO BE NOW OR NEVER (NORTH BAY)

LITTLE MILTON - BELIEVE IN ME/MAN LOVES TWO (CHECKER)

and another winner from the late Mr. Campbell:

LITTLE MILTON - LET'S GET TOGETHER (CHECKER)

O.V.Wright-Into Something (Can't Shake Loose) Hi.........brilliant 70t's dancer.

Josephine Taylor-Good Lovin' Mar-V-Lus.........what a voice for a few quid.

Betty Everett - I can't say - ABC - I think this is a great 45 which you can get for 20 quid - there is nothing not to like about it !!!

Ronnie & Joyce - Yes, I'm falling in love - ALPHA - Terrific double sider for 20 quid

Ruth McFaddon - Do it up right - SURE SHOT - Just a very very good RnB 45 with an outstanding vocal - another 20 quid well spent !

great flip on the sharpees tired of being lonely too ....at work at mo cant remember the title !!!

what about leon haywood you dont have to see me cry {decca},eddie kendricks give me lots of lovin {rca},cliff wagner exception to the rule {jewel}

Constellations " I Didn't Know How To" .......... Could not give a fiddlers what it goes for today its not rare and only 12yrs or so ago it was a £2.00 record in every box.

And same applies to number 3 on my list, only it was cheaper and even more of these about than above.

Metros "Since I Found My Baby"

Don't you mean 30 years ago??

Metros was on Manships list for £3 in 1980!

I haven't seen a mint Constellations for £2 since Casino days!!
