: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".

IA bit of Teddy Supergrass Pendergrass from me today - nice and mellow for a Sunday morning. From his 1981 album It's Time For Love which was one of the first albums I ever bought. He just makes the vocals sound so easy and I love the backing singers contribution.

 

You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration.

:lol: Just realised I called Teddy Supergrass!

So, Richie Havens I Can't Take It Anymore on a nice demo is winging it's way to my door!

Spyder's is class Martyn -an absolute classic which I've been dancing to for over 30 years. But the Richie record has that something which just does it for me.

:hatsoff2: HI ALL... I'VE BEEN TAKING A GANDER AT SOME OF THE POSTS AS YOU DO?  This one from Martyn, caught my attention, oldies nights are good fun as long as you don't play anything that you have heard played again & again in the past 5 years? would like to attend, also Martyn don't play stuff that are classed as collectable to British collectors on US labels, I think it is almost like playing bootlegs, If it come out in the UK that will be the rarest with the odd exception,, DAVE K :yes:

Another forgotten oldie from me today from a lady who was later to find fame as Denise Williams.

Denise Chandler-I'm Walking Away Lock

Edited by hullsoul

Mine for Today.I first heard played at a visit to the 100 club early 1990s.Then some years later at a Bretby Nighter i bought a copy from Pat Brady and just as i had the record in my hand the DJ who was on played it.So off i ran to the dancefloor and danced to the same track i was clutching in my hand.
