Soulsource Record Club Your Choice For Autum 2014

Posted

: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".

Instrumental time from me today,not had plays as far as I know but good enough to imo.

Toddlin' Town Sounds - The Dud Toddlin' Town

Here is mine for today.After watching the Northern Soul Film i loved the soundtrack all classics and all great.But all of them although great  were very familiar and heard out regularly.But one of them got under my skin all over again.I turned to our lass and said i used to own this one but let it go and now i just have to get it back.I managed to do just that when a couple of days ago i again became a proud owner of this masterpiece of Northern Soul from Towanda Barnes.I used to be able to dance to it many years ago.Now i can just about cope with the aid of copious amounts of Voltarol,but that voice just cuts through me big time,

YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED A LOVE THAT WOULD LAST FOREVER

Grand, real soul!

Although I've posted it before I thought i'd slip this one in, as there's a copy on E-bay doing right well at the moment

and it now represents one of the best bargains I ever had from Beatin' Rythm, having picked it from there for a song.

Kinda' makes up for the stuff that I bought there, but did get to hear properly till I got home.

Anway..

The Sherrell Bros - The Price - Currison

See here on ebay.

Just bought this(Lovely mint demo),surprised I didn't know it until relatively recently.Love Jean's voice & a very underrated artist imo with a great catalogue of tunes played on the scene.Any info on plays please,could see it getting plays in R n B rooms as well as northern rooms.

Jean Wells - Hello Baby,Goodbye Too Eastern 

This one arrived earlier in the week and I've played it half a dozen times this morning , as you do  :lol:

Great version and pretty cheap

 

SHIRLEY AND THE SHIRELLES - NEVER GIVE YOU UP - BELL DEMO

Remember a thread on the best version of Never gonna give you up, Shirley is great, but this is mine
