Lp Only Djs And Their Playlists

Posted

hi everybody,

we already had topics about "rare lp tracks" a.s.o.

the 7" rules on the scene - no doubt...but a few "outlaws" did lp only sets in the past or are currently spinning 12"s ...

It would be interesting to see/read what these guys spin on niters and which ones are open minded enough for it.

Nowadays the 12" records are gettin' a bit more attention and are much more in-demand than they used to be on the scene back in the days...and to be honest: loads of brill choons out there that were missed in the past because of the northern protocol - imo!

Feel free to post your lp only playlists in here...btw. radio show playlists are also welcome.

Not sure if this topic will get much attention/posts, but let's give it a try...

    I know of an ex-DJ (who has left scene 15 years ago) cut down an LP to 7" format so it would fit in his record box. Song in questions was last one on side 1

As a lifelong LP collector I've been guilty of that countless times, only concentrating on one or maybe a couple of tracks and not investigating all the other cuts properly, but I think that's a good thing because I've approached DJ's at places like Great Yarmouth Soul Essence to ask about a track being played only to find I've had the LP for years! But as I say, that's no bad thing because a) it means I've discovered a quality new tune and b) it hasn't cost me anything!!

The best one I ever had in this scenario was a track called 'Hey Big Brother' which I had on a tape that somebody had given me in the 90s, just an absolutely wonderful midtempo 70s tune, but the tape had no track listing and I searched high and low for years trying to find it, buying LPs 'blind' because they had song titles 'Brother' or 'Big Brother' but I had no joy. Then one day I was off work and pulled out a load of LPs just to track and put on the Opus 7 LP from 1979 on Source which I'd bought 12 months earlier at Yarmouth for the stepper 'I Love You' and another track called 'The Way You Move Me' and as I looked at the track listing saw the track 'Hey Big Brother' and I thought no f*cking WAY!!! So on it went, the first bars kicked in and my bloody jaw hit the floor, what a dolt, had my biggest want in the collection for a year without knowing it!! I think that day was the one and only time I've done an actual cartwheel in my living room. :)

For the record Roger, the Opus 7 LP was from me at a very early Cala Gran weekender, where you walked off with a fookin big pile of my LP's and you gave me a piddly little 45 in return for them all :D:lol::D:lol:

If you're talking Troy Johnson, I'm sure that was at Yarmouth, wasn't it??

The Cala Grans were where I was so pissed I tried to pay you multiple times for records. :)

Nope! Troy was Cala Gran I remember it well and yes you did pay me a few times for the same records..........................good job I'm honest though :wicked:

I put up a mix of Lp tracks on FB Mixcloud in the week.

did you buy these copies from that japanese guy ???

For the longest time I would have added The Platters - Doesn't It Ring A Bell & Baby Baby to a thread like this, until I learned about the Portugese 7". So I've thrown away the Musicor LP & am now on the lookout for the 7"............ The search continues...........

I think that day was the one and only time I've done an actual cartwheel in my living room. :)

Roger

Note you deliberately avoided doing a backdrop then Rodge?? :thumbsup:

(P.S. - Tony Horn here BTW)

A few I don't think have been mentioned yet:

Love Committee - You Are The One For Me

Leon Haywood - They Don't Make 'Em No More Like You

Four Tops - When Tonight Meets Tomorrow

Thelma Houston - Nothing Left To Give

Willie Hutch - I'm Gonna Give You Respect

Walter Heath - I Thought You Might Like To Know

Geoffrey Stoner - Understanding Love/Brand New Woman

Little Beaver - Concrete Jungle
