One-derful, Mar-v-lus Train Journey

[Drew3]

Not had time to share this until now.

Went to the lovely City of Lincoln Wednesday for a meeting.

On the train journey back to Manchester I sat back with a bottle of red, a big bag of M&S Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper Crisps (a must with red wine), the sun shining, beautiful scenery and One-derful, Mar-V-Lus Northern Soul (30 Rare Dancers from 60's Chicago) CD belting though me earplugs.

An absolute fecking pleasure.

Anyone not familiar with the CD it's a Goldmine Soul Supply production and contains the following:

Baby what has happened to our love The Ringleaders.

Every beat of my heart The Du-ettes.

Tired of being loney The Sharpees.

I still can't get to you Joseph Moore.

Spring song (New girl) The Accents.

I don't know what to do Otis Clay.

Don't leave me The Admirations.

'Aint gonna cry no more Josephine Taylor.

Your love has got me down The Blenders.

Who is she Lucky Laws.

More power to you Harold Burrage.

Don't fight it Willie Parker.

Who are you gonna love The Accents.

I'm satisfied Johnny Sayles.

Don't you worry Joe & Mack.

Lonely girl The Young Folk.

Do the 45 The Sharpees.

Wait til I get to know you The Admirations.

Showplace Otis Clay.

Please forgive me The Du-ettes.

Don't hurt the one you love Willie Parker.

Love is a good thing 'goin The Blenders.

You better think again The Accents.

Tell me where I stand Johnny Sayles.

Would I do it over The Ultimations.

Twine Time Alvin Cash & The Crawlers.

Please love me Betty Everett.

Behave yourself Miss Madeline.

Master key Harold Burrage.

Where will you be boy Beverly Shaffer.

Awesome compilation!!

Personal favourites:

Behave yourself - Miss Madeline;

Please love me - Betty Everett;

The two Johhny Sayles tracks;

Would I do it over - The Ultimations

Where will you be - Beverly Shaffer

and of course the fantastic

I still can't get to you - Joseph Moore.

Beats sitting in the car on a hot day anytime and managed to get a table seat and put the old feet up for most of the journey.

Didn't want to go home.

Any favs for you in that lot?

"Any favs for you in that lot?"

Well I'd go for the bottle of red, a big bag of M&S Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper Crisps

Lincoln is a brilliant place, trouble is you have to go through bits of Lincolnshire to get there.

Have to get back to you regarding the music........

Drew, agree with the M&S crisp thingys but it has to Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar

Agree. The Ultimations is the Ultimate!

Also, Highly recommend Otis Clay's 'That's How It Is" (flip of Show Place) and "Tired Of Falling In And Out Of Love" from this logo (infact all O C's tracks are superb on One-derful).

As an aside, There's a wicked version (LP only) by Patti Drew.

As for Lincoln, I spent a lifetime there one year!

Fond memories of the Drill Hall (and a girl called Kim from Birchwood ).

Behave yourself - Miss Madeline;

Love these two, bought the Beverly Shaffer blind a few years ago, the flip is quite good as well if I remember rightly....

(Was last in Lincoln about 20 years ago and have never been quite convinced by crisps with pepper on... the crinkly hula hoops are top of my list at the moment )

[Guest]

Flip of Beverly Shaffer is 'Even The Score' and is just as superb as the main side! I posted clips up on here for both sides a while ago...will see if I can find the thread.

Ultimations is also another top tune

The Ringleaders does it for me what a track.

[Guest dundeedavie]

betty everett - please love me brilliant double sider on 7"

[Guest in town Mikey]

I love the Josephine Taylor track, but the best in the list for me is the Accents - Who you gonna love. Male harmonies par excellence

[Val (Chunky)]

I love the Josephine Taylor track, but the best in the list for me is the Accents - Who you gonna love. Male harmonies par excellence

The other side of the Accents too "You better think again"......'kin awsome

[asboannie]

Who is she Lucky Laws.

Gosh forgot about that one in my box

Where will you be - Beverly Shaffer......Just love this one as well

[Guest]

I like T'other side of Miss Madeline

"I'm just a lonely girl in this big old world and I don't know what happiness is"

Have had the ultimations for years too and its one of those tunes that should get much bigger recognition than it does

[Guest rachel]

I like T'other side of Miss Madeline

"I'm just a lonely girl in this big old world and I don't know what happiness is"

Same recording as the Young Folk track that's on this CD... good tune too

[Guest in town Mikey]

The other side of the Accents too "You better think again"......'kin awsome

Aint that the truth.

Chalky put me on to this one, as it missed it in the early 80s when it first (To my knowledge) got played. Great double sider.

ALL Otis Clays 45s are invaluable to me - Harold Burrage / McKinley Mitchell / Cicero Blake (LOVE this guy!) -

Above links to Dave's excellent discographies - A fantastic set of labels from ballads / group deep / R&B / Northern etc - If anyone doesn't have Robert Pruters excellent book on Chicago soul I highly reccommend it.

I have a couple of CD's of the label inc. the aforementioned goldmine one and (I think!) a Charley comp one too. Considering the output of the label - Has there been or is there to be any unissued material (Can't remember if the Cd's had any on).Any ideas?

[Guest in town Mikey]

Rich I have a copy of Turn Back the Hands of time on Elka. Its not in great condition, but do you need it?

I pulled it out of a bin full of records at a Bristol car boot sale, without a pigging sleeve.

Cheers Mikey, but I have it

Nice to know someone is finding decent soul 45s (bad nick or not!) at boot fairs!

ATB Rich

[Baz Atkinson]

I THINK THE MORE POWER TO YOU TRACK BY HAROLD BURRAGE KNOCKS SPOTS OF THE REST OF THEM,JUST SPUN IT AND CANT BELIEVE HOW RIGHT IT IS FOR TODAY.

CHECK IT OUT FOLKS AND CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE A SOUND CLIP.

CHEERS BAZ [GOOD THREAD THIS]

[Guest in town Mikey]

A mate pulled a Sy Hightower at the same fair on a different day. Now that is good shopping!

Nooooooooo!!! :angry:

Ah well - Another one for y'all - at work at mo - but picked this up on ebay a while back for a fiver - Soundclip at JM & Soulclub...

McKinley Mitchell - No Love b/w Town I Live In - Sleazy R&B backed with a classic!

I count a ONEDERFUL / TODDLIN TOWN / PRESIDENT / MIDAS & CHIMNEYVILLE release on same song. Presume the Chimneyville is a later cut? Will have to check but is this a record for a 45 on different labels?

Great tune I've got a copy on Toddlin Town and one on Onederful in my collection and the flips pretty good as well. Currently got a spare Toddlin Town copy on the bay with a soundclip on if anyone's interested.

Cheers

[sister dawn]

Lincoln's still a beautiful city and the northern here aint bad either especially at Grafton House every third saturday in the month.

[Guest Spinning Vinyl]

Love these labels, have most of them bar a few! I see Joseph Moore is admired by a few, but flip it and there is one class bit of down tempo soul 'Lost without You'

Pat Brady had an acetate of the Josephine Taylor it's slightly different, I think Keb brought it then Chris Ashby had it not sure if hes still got it or he sold it on, but great version all the same. Cant go wrong with these labels lots of good stuff for your lobes :good:
