Thought it would be a good idea to post scans, pics, or just name the records that dropped through the letterbox or you have bought somewhere.

I thought it would be good idea to see what we are all buying - it doesn't matter f it is £1 or £cost a fortune, just post it here so we can all see what we managed to get and may a few words on why we bought it?

Moderaters can advise if it is a good thread or not.

I will get the ball rolling with two that came today (Scans below)

1. Young Holt Limited "California Montage" Brunswick USA DEMO - well chuffed, have a stocker, but wanted the demo!

2. Gloria Jones "Tainted Love" USA Champion - label is knackered, vinyl plays great and is in VG++ condition. I bought as I cannot afford a Minty one so got this one for £20 so I can play on original vinyl in my soul do at my house!

"Had a few arrive this week,among them these arrived yesterday.   Roosevelt Grier - Since You've Been Gone, ........."

Probably this isn't the right thread to post this clip but it's in reference to a record I mentioned in post #575 which may not be instantly obvious that it is in fact the same song, albeit "live", sung by the same artist.  It's always good to see these performances so here we have The Fearsome Foursome - Since You're Gone (aka Roosevelt Grier - Since You've Been Gone.)

 

Lisa Richards - Mean Old World/Take A Chance - Vocalion.

 

Been after an Ex copy of this for years, I don't usually get excited about getting records these days but I'm well chuffed with this. £30.

 

Great double header.

 

Phil.

Couple more today + 1 at the sorting office requiring a signature.  Miss Ann Littles - I Will Be Got Dog & Oscar Perry - If It Could Be

 

Got another copy of Four Tops - Just Can't Get You Out of My Mind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85qkPiWMOU

 

Annis - Don't Play Your Games - but can't find a clip

 

Hot Sauce - Bring it on Home - which is a stunning piece of soul music

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqNWALuIhz4

Had a few bits arrive this week. Kick off with this one The Invitations - Look On The Good Side. Superb 70's soul featuring Lew Kirton on lead vocals - which I didn't know.

The strange world of Northern Soul?

 

I am in a muddy field in rural Ontario at what is a boot sale for all intents and purposes, it is pissing down with rain and I have found f**k all. Decided to call it quits at the end of the row as it was close to the car. Asked the question - got any records? Yes, a box here but they are all UK. Started sorting through, Slade, Sweet, Mud, T Rex etc etc and then in a little gang:

 

Donald Height - Talk Of The Grapevine - Jay Boy

Jamo Thomas - I Spy - Polydor with centre

Eddie Floyd - Things Get Better - Blue Stax

Doris Troy - Ill Do Anything - Mojo

Jackie Wilson - Sweetest Feeling - MCA

Richard Temple - That Beatin' Rhythm - Jay Boy

Andre Brasseur - The Kid - CBS

Bobbi Lynn - Earthquake - Bell

Frankie Valli - The Night - Mowest 3024

 

Edwin Starr - My Weakness Is You - Gordy

 

All a buck each!!

Excellent, well found!

Just got this through, paid £18 but I think well worth it, and a nice addition to the Motown related US demo section of the collection.

Bought a lot of bits this week. My sunday spin is a Willie Mitchell produced slice of southern soul - give this some umph on yer amp, it's awesome soul music.

 

Lynn White - Any Way The Wind Blow

Here's another Willie Mitchell production which is winging its way from the states - sublime soul music. From that great Tennessee based label Hi - lots of similarity with the previous record.

 

Quiet Elegance - I'm Afraid Of Losing You.
