Posted August 20, 201014 yr Hi All, I just popped the Four Tops' Night LIghts Harmony LP on ABC onto the turntable and am really enjoying it. I haven't heard a lot of the post-Motown LPs. Are there any others I should check out? Many thanks, Tim

August 20, 201014 yr Just off the top of me head "Main Street People" is excellent "Keeper Of The Castle" "Tonight" (with their version of "All I Do") Which co-incidentaly I'm playing on the show on Sunday (how does that not surprise me)! Also worth checking out is the wonderful "Love Enough To Care" from '79 currently available on Soul Intention 7"........ Ian D Edited August 20, 201014 yr by Ian Dewhirst
August 20, 201014 yr "Keeper of the castle" is a must - includes their (original??) version of "Love music"
August 21, 201014 yr Catfish lp for Strung out on your love. Thank you Mr Darker for turning me onto that many moons ago. Cheers Phil
August 22, 201014 yr Meeting Of The Minds 1974 ABC has Lawrence Payton on vocals sublime ' Tell Me You Love '
August 22, 201014 yr "Keeper of the castle" is a must - includes their (original??) version of "Love music" Lambert and Potter wrote it, but as great as the Four Tops are, the Sergio Mendes version is the masterpiece!
August 26, 201014 yr Catfish is really good, Stung Out on Your Love as mentioned, Feel Free & Love Don't Come Easy and both ace.
August 26, 201014 yr (It would almost) drive me out of my mind - from the 'Night lights harmony' album is a great track that Matt 'the face' from Trowbridge used to play - we both discovered it was around on a 45 in the same week! Well worth picking up. Adam
August 29, 201014 yr Their last ABC album "At The Top" is a good one, as it was recorded in Philly under the supervision of Norman Harris. Their second Casblanca album "One More Mountain" is also worth getting, if only to own their great version of Ronnie McNeir's "Light My Fire" a.k.a. "Keep On Lightin' My Fire". But I'd have to say that, for me and as cited already, the best non-Motown Four Tops album will always be "Keeper Of The Castle", which is as good as any of their 60s Motown albums and better than several of them.
