Monster Ballads Hiding On B-Sides Of Northern Classics

Posted

Wow wow wow! I recently flipped over Herb Johnson "I'm So Glad" and the Four Perfections "I'm Not Strong Enough" for the first time and played them at my DJ night out of curiosity...Now I may never flip 'em back! What else should I flip over??

a lot of the older doowop collectors were always into this side

Deletts-Look at me/whats the use-Blue Rock

I would never play "look at me" on this, no contest.

The david dee side "forgive me girl" on the flip of "ever loving man" is brilliant deep soul.

all copies i've seen have been in very poor condition does anyblody have an Ex or better one ?

there was one clean one that went through ebay recently, I think seller was hanceville-a ?

I think the chosen few version (also the flip of a northern record I guess) is better:

Cheers for that Bob, didn't know that version (same backing?) think I'd stay with Lee Moses myself, just love his voice

But I'll certainly be picking up The Chosen Few record!

obviously we're looking for different things in a record. I love the group on the chosen few and the voice of the lead, obviously the lee moses is much more deep soul. I think the chosen few version was first but I'm not 100%

The other side of Robert Ward's "I Will Fear No Evil", and like so many mentioned actually the A side

"My Love Is Strictly Reserved For You"

steve

i like this cut, i never play the "evil" side

Going by the writing credits "Lewis Lewis & Farmer" I'd have thought Lee's was first version, as It's the same writing team on the flip "Time & Place" Lee's version is Jan. 1970 (acording to label).

As for looking for different things in a record, that's the beauty of this music to me :thumbsup:

I must've missed the clean one I recently saw a g copy and there is another crackly copy recorded on youtube.

hanceville-a sells a lot of great records.

Guess I'm just a dumb ass. Never really flipped records over. . . unless it was known as a double sider. :(

They most likely won't be known as double siders as the music is so far removed from northern soul that a lot of people might not even like what they hear when they flip it over.

Fabulous flip to "What Does It Take"

Flip to "Yes You Did"

The flip of the funk biggie by innersouls on plemmons is a brilliant mellow soul track. Not sure i'd class it as a traditional ballad its more haunting almost x-over.

Fave in this house aswell Steve, great call

Kev

you must be right. Also, we obviously have different tastes, which is great, because it would suck if everyone liked the same thing...

this is one of my big wants. i didn't mention it here because i didn't know if the funk track was a "northern classic".

yeah that is the side i play (off youtube because i don't have the vinyl ....)

I heard of this side recently and would really like to hear it as well.

its not massively known by northern people as it only had a few pplays on that scene but obviously some know it. A lot of funk people know it though but that scene is very small.

paramount four-ive made up my mind/you dont know-southern city

I like how that pic clearly shows it's the a-side :) .

Bobby Brinkley calls my radio show sometimes, he says that the Paramount Four back the Bobby Brinkley and the Squires record. He also wrote a pretty nice Willie Hobbs 45 on seventy seven.

The Mandells version on Trans World sound is even better

all the mandells records are real nice..their "all or nothing" record reminds me alot of "think back"

which willie hobbs song was it?I like "love em and leave em" by willie hobbs..nice deep soul

the otherside of

Foreign Blue Renaisance Finding You

is gorgeous sweet soul

which willie hobbs song was it?I like "love em and leave em" by willie hobbs..nice deep soul

"please don't let me down" which is also pretty good deep soul (at least good enough for me to like it being someone who usually doesn't like deep soul)

dont get much better than this the flip to you dont love me no more

flip to the royal 5 -say it to my face

fantastic tune....

Edited by cenco

There are trillions surely, but the best of the lot (or one of the best to CMA) is Carol Anderson - I'll Get Off At The Next Stop, beautified brilliance, basicly simply the best!Q

Although the Linda Jones Hypnotised must be hitting the top twenty

What a good excuse to play the other sides tonight.....

"please don't let me down" which is also pretty good deep soul (at least good enough for me to like it being someone who usually doesn't like deep soul)

judge of hearts is also fantastic he made so many brilliant records. NOt sure i've ever listened to the flip though so it may not fit into this thread properly.
