nailed it

DAP-051 The James Hunter Six Whatever It Takes deserves a top 5 spot

 

 

My number one, by a country mile would be "Slow down, love" - Sharon Jones.

 

 

Proper singer, Sharon Jones.

The material she had was a bit mixed. This is a nice one, I reckon.

 

Sharon Jones  - My Man Is A Mean Man

Saun & Starr - Hot Shot

Sharon Jones - Tell Me

Charles Bradley - Strictly Reserved For You

Charles - Bradley - Let Love Stand a Chance

Couldnt do a top 5 , but this would be in it. Charles Bradley, “now that i’m gone “

Always thought this would have gone down well on the northern scene

Totally agree, very close to the top, pure class and dance floor filler

Surprised it never got the attention it deserved , like some new releases have . 

Bullets don’t have eyes is in my top five of all time, not just daptone releases. Plus it reminds me of Joe Dutton so an added reason to love it. 

Bullets Don’t Have Eyes has been released twice with the same code number but with two different flip sides,

one of them is this masterpiece 😍

 

 

1) Lee fields and Sharon Jones '"I'll be around' unissued Daptone 

2) Family Daptone ' Hey brother' 

3)Sharon Jones +Dap-" Kings 'we get along' 

4) James hunter six ' I don't wanna be without you' 

5) Sharon Jones + dap - kings 'people don't get what they deserve' 

So much quality coming out of this label too many to list 

Sharon Jones - People Don't Get What They Deserve

Saun & Start - Hot Shot

James Hunter Six - I Don't Want To Be Without You

Sharon Jones - I Just Dropped In

Sugarman 3 - Got To Get Back To My Baby  (not on 45 I know but still beautiful). Otherwise James Hunter Six - (Baby) Hold On

No one's picked 'Make the road by walking'.

Must be just me then...
