3 Jimmy Hughes - Neighbour Neighbour - excellent dancer and the other sides good too!

Yes the other side "Its A Good Thing To Know" is an excellent record!

Just three of many. I prefer the term inexpensive to cheap; there's nothing cheap about quality soul, regardless of the price tag.

Having said that "As inexpensive as chips" sounds bollocks when you say it. :thumbsup:

You don't need to look too hard to find these at less than a tenner each.

Clydie King Bout Love

The Impalas Whip it on me

Jimmy Delphs Go for the Carla copy(Of Almost) and you have the brilliant flip side "Ive been fooled before"

One I love at the moment - Dillard & Johnson - here we go loving again
But go for the original ist press mix on Piedmont.

ZZ Hill - No more Doggin - kent

One of my all time favs - Hokis Pokis - Swing -on Sheild (Or the rarer RCA press)

JJ Barnes - please let me in - ric tic

darrell banks - open the door to your heart / our love - revilot

young folk - lonely girl - mar v lus

you could get all three for under £30 on a good day - a thousand quid's worth of quality there

Totally agree Pete - There are so many good tunes out there that you can use in a set -But some people as ive said before jsut want 15 mins of fame rather than learning a craft and including lesser priced records in a set takes a good ear and crafting the tunes together.

What a brilliant box all these quoted here on this thread would make.

3 more from the box....

Bunny Sigler - Sunny Sunday - Cameo Parkway - Awesome and sooooooo under rated!

Syl Johnson - Try Me - Twinight - possibly the best £7 I've ever spent.

Dee Dee Warwick - Monday Monday - Mercury - Proper soaring, uptempo, feel good soul!

Three more from me - all bought in the last month:

The Ovations featuring Louis Williams - I'm in love - MGM - absolutely fantastic record - other sides good too - can still get this for under a tenner

Manhattans - All I need is your love - Carnival - sounds like an expensive nighter tune to me

Brothers of Soul - Candy / Try it babe - Shock - two great sides for the price of a couple of pints

The flip of Syl Johnson is pretty good as well. :thumbsup:

yes indeed matt.. Thousands of cheap tunes and many with great flipsides too,ha ha, just the way i like it.. Not so good for record dealers i guess but good for the collecting of quality soul on a budget, the way many of us like or have to do it..

Thousands cheap and wonderful tunes that would stand up against any records...

Pete said JJ Barnes " Please let me in " then flip it over, oooooh, a soul tune indeed hiding there, if you aint heard it and have the record then see what you think?? " i think i found a love "

Just a point though, one persons cheap as chips means £15 or under, just a thought as some will list what they call a cheapie and to others thats quite a lot to pay... or more than they are used to paying.. We all have different levels i guess, depends on finances..

Many tunes listed here are stocking fillers, fill yer boots....

I will get a few titles up later...

Same Kinda Thing on Twinight by Syl is very good too.

I'd actually go as far to say that from the first Federal through to the last Hi 45 you can't actually go too far wrong with Syl, something for everyone, R&B, Soul, Funk, Crossover, Ballads. It's all there & done pretty damn well for the most part.

I am glad to see that the following records already received a mention:

The Decisions "I Can't Forget About You"

The Ethics "Look At Me Now"

Betty Everett "Unlucky Girl"

Juanita Williams "Baby Boy"

Joe Tex "You Better Believe it Baby" (great intro: highly effective floor filler)

I'd like to nominate three more:

Dee Dee Warwick "Don't You Ever Give Up On Me" Mercury

The Intruders "(You'd Better) Check Yourself" Gamble

The Radiants "Ain't No Big Thing" Chess

Just 3, not easy at all, so many quality soul tracks that don't bust the bank... 3 spins of mine at Soul Or Nothing events in the past... All mid tempo and oozing soul in my book..

Maybe not tips for the top but quality soul indeed..

Take away.. The Tams... Still all these years later many folk aint looked on the flipside "Hey Girl Don't bother me" and found thIs wonderful gem..

We all have them b-sides still not flipped in our collections, who aint played this??

Lou Ragland... I can't take it ... Co- Co Cleveland records.... A record that ticks the boxes for me, play it loud...

Darrow Fletcher.. " I think i'm gonna write a song ".. Congress records.... A tune of such beauty from the man that can do no wrong..

Darrow Fletcher.. " I think i'm gonna write a song " . Congress records..... A soul or nothing spin of the last few years that still aint really had its day...

lets do it-carl stewart £18...anyone know anything about this? on copyright records

this is from beaumont, texas. It is carl stewart with the sonics, right? Manship auctioned one of the sonics on copyright maybe a year ago but I don't remember if it's this one or not. Carl Stewart also has a record on mercury if I'm remembering correctly.

There is a nice barbara lynn record on this label.
