:hatsoff2:  HI ALL....YES IT'S ME BACK (for how long) feeling much better, so thanks for all the nice comments sent, also thanks for staying with the RECORD CLUB thread WELL DONE,

As I am very late with picking a new theme, I thought it was time for us to pick the TOP Favourites of each member, ideally pick a 45 from your collection, that you feel that it is a must have record to own, not easy! as I'm aware that there are similar threads all over the WEB, that your choice will also include info that will help younger soul brothers & sisters will enjoy your pick,.

WHY WE NEED TO DO THS?  On Friday we had a Gas man at a guess he was in his mid 20s, call at our house, he could not contain himself after noticing my record room, he asked me many questions about the rare soul scene, as he had started going to local events & was going to the Blackpool weekender,

Never to miss a opportunity to play records, I put on a few classics for him, what surprised me was he did not know some & the ones he did he was unaware of the artist or title, in-fact he needed some education, (this is something that is missing from other threads, with a couple of exception, John Manships gives a great potted write up on all of his items that I really enjoy.)

A list of must haves as opposed to the top 500 records that Kev Roberts put together will differ by the fact it is record club members pick, not 1 persons view, although Kevs book is excellent, this will be if we can be a collectors guide & benefits the up & coming DJs of to-morrow,

I have put a few pictures of what I call classics, but for some off the younger people they are newies,

To kick of the thread I have picked a big sound from 1972 that would be classed as a TORCH MECCA classic,

SMASH RECORDS #S2111 - the AMBERS - "Potion of LOVE" b/w "Another LOVE".

Bids on this, which used to be another cheapo tune, seem to have taken off over recent months.

There again it is a proper Northern record, without exposure.

I bought mine from the King Bee sales boxes for a quid, some years ago.

Often a source of bargains in the past, i just wished I bought that UK demo of

"cuz it's you girl" for twenty quid at the same time, ahh well.

Managed to pick up a Stateside copy cheap recently, after waiting for years for one at the right price.

Inez and Charlie Foxx - No Stranger To Love - Stateside

One I've only got on a LP (People UK) I think ? , which I've had since it came out in the early 70's , cost me about 19/6 :lol: . Used to play this track to people who all thought it was slow shite  :ohmy: 

in the days when everyone wanted stompers :yes: but hey , class always comes through at some point !
