Your Current Top Two

Posted

Well, we all know we can't do a top five, or ten, or even a hundred.

 

So here's a challenge ... what is your current top two?

 

Not all time top sounds ... just the two you can't stop playing now

 

Here are mine ...

 

Cheers  :thumbsup:

 

Richard

 

Bobby Jones - Talkin' Bout Jone's (Expo) - Joe Hunter and Orch on this - awesome - look at the label it's one for the apostrophe freaks  :lol: 

 

 

Albert Jones - Up To The Sun (Bumpshop) - not the best YouTube - so turn up the volume!

Issue here of Soul Rockers. Instru on the flip.

...as there is no 'genre' stated in the asking...if it's no problem...I will post me two favs from last week ends car boot sale finds! I have learnt about music for over 30 years by collecting tunes from boot sales.....'randomly'! It is also my 'chill out' time most Sundays having a wander!

99 times out of a 100 i haven't a clue what i'm taking home each week....but that's the fun! On average...I pay 50p.....£1....for a 45....and occasionally find em at 10p each!! Generally I take home about 8-10 a week and 2/3 out of them will make my collection! That collection incorporates soul/Motown/Northern stuff...but....then i have a 'quiz' box...which has themes and quirky stuff from tv/films in it...then instrumentals that 'hit me' that go from the late 40's...to date.....all found at a boot sale! All the 633 Squadron...John Barry...Duane Eddy etc go in there! Then there is me 50's/ 60'/70's and best of the rest section! Me general 50's include rock n roll/rockabilly and Doo Wop along with the classics! 60's is full of stuff like the below! The 70's section is filled with the obvious classics and not many obscure stuff added as it is a lot of shuffling thru records to get to find them....and can't be ars*ed with em all really! I did dance to Funk in '76/7/8 when things like Olympic Runners Keep It Up and Jam Jam Jam were being stomped played in dark rooms in village hall disco's an odd time or two i made them...uptempo stuff...but never got excited by the 'disco' sound that overtook these into the 80's! Then there is an odds and sods section.....all YMCA/Time Warp party stuff! In there are loooads of obscure tunes for occasions such as 7 'Happy birthday' tunes some done by obscure singers on US Soul labels....1 of which i will upload as it does near verge on a 100 club definate....I reckon!!!x

 

The 80's/90's/2000 are covered by about 150 records....Love Shack....If Only I could/Sid Youngblood...M People..and probably on 10-15 tunes represent the 2000's!! For me...after the 70's...it's all been regurgitated!  I can 'predict' a tune within 5 seconds....and haven't listened to the radio for music since 1995! I listen to 5 Live....ritually! I was known for playing I'm So Happy-Philip Mitchell UK wide and Brainstorm- Loving is Really My Game at Blackburn @ 7.45/50amish...in particular! So I do like me 70's...but they gotta be that good!x

After Donna Summers 'I Feel Love'....I think it took years before anybody came up wiv anyfink new on the pop scene!  I have found some absolute nuggets from across the era's that are tunes in their own right that never made it in the charts or owt....or...in my wide scope...could verge on being considered 'Northern' from all genres! 

 

To start then...last week I found this by Paul and Barry Ryan. I have Barry Ryans classic hit from the late 60's 'Eloise' but never knew any of him or his bro's tunes from the early/mid 60's!  This one....'Baby I'm Sorry'....makes me hairs stand up on me arms like Fred Hughes Oooo Baby I luv U does after 35 years....and that bell/gong.....haunts you all the way thru the tune......50p!....on Decca...!x

 

 

 

 

The second is perhaps an all time 'classic'...BUT...in 7 years I never heard it played once or had the chance to dance to it...and i;m dis-appointed with that after hearing it several times this week!! On US ABC Paramount...Lloyd Price B side...Have You Ever Had the Blues.....10p....and the Personality on the A side plays perfick too! I'd have paid £5-10 for it...but....the pleasure of 'finding'...is priceless to me anyway!x Last year I did a 50th Birthday party for a group of Soulies who piled over to ours regular in the 90's. After i'd give the girls a lift to the venue....then the fellas...I was left with a home made CD in the back of the limo....which i discovered on the way home...! SUPER Northern with an R&B flavour that I have never heard...! On there is this Lloyd Price track...sung by a woman....r&b style....dunno who it is? But...I still prefer Lloyds version....and have done a twirl in me music shack quite happily this week to it!!x 10p...or £10....worth having methinks....enjoy!x

Thanx to all the PM's...E-mails and texts piling in still!!!x Special hi to Shaun from Boro's 3 Sad Men...Russ from Portsmouths crew and Donna in the Welsh mountains....who has been bellowing northern out across them valleys since 1988.....when I had a house and business there!XXXX Great to hear from you all and that your all well....and....that your glad to hear from me too!x It's a cult!!!hehe!x

Judy Freeman is a bang on oldie Aid. Not sure I know the Rose Royce track - very much of the time. Nice.

Was it you or someone else who posted this on a different thread recently? I really like it and said on the other thread that the intro reminded me of this - and it still does!
