Mark Bicknell Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I've always claimed to favour male records with a real soft spot for the vocal groups, Falcons, Volumes, Hesitations, Artistics,Dells etc. etc. but when looking through the collection recently i noticed i have rather a lot of female/girl group records and started to play a seesion back to back and what a buzz, great fun. Might make for an interesting thread, so get looking through those boxes. Madeline Wilson - Dial "L" For Lonley - Samar - Fantastic record out of Rochester NY, has it all, mood, voice simply perfection. The Darlings - Two Time Loser - Kay-Ko also Mercury - Awesome early production with that something just a little bit special. The Valons - "You're Something Special - Mark III - As above a very early track out of Newark, New Jersey, possibly an old Stafford spin. The Star Treks - Gonna Need Magic - Veep - Surperb Philly record that never really went as big as it should, needs playing more at the oldies venues. The Mamselles - Open Up Your Heart (Let Love Out) ABC - Another record yet to have it's day at the venues, very hard ABC number to locate but well worth the hunt. The Bobbettes - Having Fun - RCA - Crunching uptempo girl group proper Northern Soul from the 'Happy Go Lucky Me' girls, first class. The Vashonettes - A Mighty Good Lover - Checker - Awesome Chicago again this one has it all. Quite hard to find being one of the lesser known Checker numbers. Suger And The Spices - Have Faith In Me - Swan - Records as good as this take me to another place, i know this one is on many want's list and rightly so, hard to find now due to huge demand but well worth a couple of hundred quid of anyone's money....lol The Atlantics - What So Good About Goodbye - Marquee - Written and also recorded by Smokey Robinson this is division one girls at their awesome very best, hard to find and a quality record. The Sweet Three - That's The Way It Is (When A Girl's In Love) - Decca - A beautiful record that has had some turntable action but not enough IMO, written by Leon Huff producing the perfect song from the golden era of the mid 60's. A perfect ten and most enjoyable also inspiration for a future Solar show..lol Regards - Mark Bicknell. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Some great records mentioned by everybody so far. Must give special mention to the Patti Austin Coral sides: so many stunning songs, performances and productions. To cap it all she was so young when she recorded these 45s. What makes them great is the fact that while she sounds so technically accomplished they still sound like records ripped from the heart of a young person. That's an incredibly tough balancing act to pull off. I must aslo mention a couple of group records here: "I Don't Want You" by The Lovations on Cap City, a stunning midpacer with a wonderfully wistful quality; and The Rayons "Do You Love Me" on Decca: maybe the finest instance of sixties girl group deep soul (admittedly this field would only warrant a slender chapter in the encyclopedia of soul genres). Is it true that this particular 45 is thought to be a one-off? While not being a particularly huge fan of non-soul Girl Groups, I must ask at this point: who could fail to love The Ronettes "Be My Baby"?

Guest Brian Ellis Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Lornettes His way with the girls Tony Nice one Tony, brilliant - one that Randy gave me many years ago because I didn't know it!!! Played it at SITC a couple of times in 2005 to minimal interest, no taste some people I agree Dave - I think this is a terrific track; in fact I bought my copy from Mr Bicknell himself a few years ago. It's a real pity there's little dancefloor reaction - cloth ears some people!! Brian Edited February 1, 2006 by Brian Ellis Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
