Does anyone have a fav Soul LP, Mine has to be Jackie Wilson - Higher and Higher which i own, it includes my fav song of all time on it Open The Door To Your Heart

lots of great lps out there matthew and cheap, compared to singles, too

the impressions released some awesome stuff but i think my favourite album is the tempests lp on smash

Fave Soul album must be Whats Going On - Marvin Gaye , best Northern one probably The Hesitations Soul Superman or Williams and Watson - Two for the price of one .Best ,Eddie

Fave soul albums Sam Dees - Show must go on and Sandra Wright - Wounded woman. It's a shame the Dees album doesn't have ' Signed miss heroin' on it.

Two brilliant albums Mark ......... Best ,Eddie

For me, it's a dilemma between:

Sweetest One - The Metros

Two For The Price Of One - Larry Williams & Johnny Watson

christ i think i am going to cry now,over a juvenile unbelieveable memory,i swapped two for the price of one(a moment whilst i cringe) for the voices of east harlem-cashing in at the casino in the 70s,i am now away to beat the s**t out of myself,fave soul album the hesitations-soul superman.

Ed

another one,aretha-almighty fire l.p. ,this could go on and on,cos everytime you see an artists name,you think of your fave by them.but still sticking with soul superman as my top one.

Marvin Gaye Here My Dear prob my fave Mav Lp, urge everyone to get this. You kind of forget about the likes of Marvin and Curtis etc when chasing the rare small labels and alike. Each track is good but listen to the lot as it meant it to be and its a 'soul' lp that has'nt been bettered to these ears.

Westwing LP is great, all pretty strong, puts me in a good mood.

Johnny Bristol Strangers another fella whose lps I think are all worthy of having but this one pips it for me and the missus loves it too which is always a bonus.

Garland Green - Jealous Kinda Fella

The Metros - Sweetest One

The Monitors - Greetings We're The Monitors

Jimmy James & The Vagabonds - New Religion

Wilson Pickett - It's Too Late (more R&B but what the hell)

jimmy james good choice

plus bobby thurston sweetest piece etc however title track side only, other side not too good

Jimmy James is excellent, seen him live 3 times and lucky enough i met him once, he actually asked for my CD to be recorded for him as he said it was deleted so wanted a copy lol. I had to send him it in the post how funny is that a recording artists asks a fan for his own cd to be copied

Have lots of great LP's but hard to pass Motown Chartbuster Vol 3, so many great Motown Classics, it set me on the road to Soul.

Always liked Terry Callier "I Just Can't Help Myself" on Cadet 50041.....very mellow laid back tunes...

Brown-Eyed Lady, Gotta Get Closer Too You, Satin Doll, amongst others.

Bobby Taylor "Taylor Made Soul" Gordy GS942, just for that sublime work of art "Don't Be Afraid"

The Jaedes "The Jaedes" Athena 6002, for a spell binding version of "Color Him Father"

and lastly Spread Love "Spread Love" Sunstar 2901 for one of the seminal 70's soul releases and "Here I Go (Through These Changes)

Brett Franklin........(semi-retired)

No.....half awake

Its an absolute classic lp one of those rare things where every track is fantastic."Thank you" is my favourite to be played out though "treat a lady" is a close 2nd.Every home should have one.

As is the John Edwards Aware lp,the track "Exercise my love"=goosebumps galore

gotta say Alice Clark self titled on mainstream .... not a bad track

Davie

Lots of favourites & something i have been buying more of lately, price hikes don't seem to have hit the album market, yet !

But if i was pushed into a corner it would have to be "Artistics - I'm Gonna Miss You", just quality from start to finish ! You could quite literaly play any track at a soul night !!

For me it's gotta be:

OTIS BLUE

The two albums I still have on top of my list:

The Fuzz - s/t (so sweet)

Satisfaction Unlimited - Think Of The Children (this one has everything !)

Funnily enough both of them are built up around the same theme
