Thanks for posting ... had forgotten how good it was.  You know how it is you think you 'know' a track from the past and almost dismiss it.  Probably haven't heard this for 20/30 years as always skip by it.

still love this Mecca classic, mine's on CBS, 'progressives' close your ears

 

[Guest Shufflin]

I have the stock copy of this one, glorious breathy vocals, it sounds like an unreleased Motown track (e.g., Lewis Sisters, kind of)

... didn't realise this was a Mecca spin ... first heard it played at Wigan ... Dave Evison used to hammer it!  Wasn't she originally from scouse land and emigrated to Australia where this was first released?  'Proper' blue-eyed tune ... there were some decent ones played along with the dross  

Does this still, get plays?

[Soulstrutter]

Not one that I own ... as you can't buy it (as far as I'm aware) .. but found this on YT a nice cover of Marvin Gaye's Sad Tomorrows (flip to Mercy Mercy Me) done live by The Ashton Moore Organisation - I like it ... see what you think:

Switching it around a bit ... a modern soul stepper with jazz flavas 'Should I' from 1999 debut (and only) album 'Black Butterfly' from Grenique (CD only)

Also came out as her first of only 2 singles on CD & 12" only. Neither got a UK release but can be picked up for about a tenner.

 

[Guest Shufflin]

beat ballad fav, and getting rare

 

[Majy]

Probebly the greatest Northern Soul record ever made!

On (out of the past) and picked up for less than 4 quid including postage.

Always in the running when anyone asks me my favourite Northern tune, I've never been a great dancer and much as I love it I've never been able to dance to it.

[Twoshoes]

Heard this out last weekend , ordered one same night, love an instrumental

exactly, some records just transcend the snobbery

[Rick Scott]

Well if you like your Soul with some Down Home Funk this may be Up Your Street 'Temu' - Wear My Shoes (2019) ITALY

Turn it up and Boogie like you just don't care, You Know You Wanna!

 

 

[Westender]

Irma in majestic form. The MS guys are just superb. What a combination, what a track....

 

[Soulman58]

Just brings a smile to my face, not the greatest vocal but a great groove.  

 

 

 

[Soulman58]

Luscious Lisa does the Walrus proud

The Dells sounding just fantastic. Marvin.....what a singer. Simple arrangement but that can't detract from the wonderful vocals.

 

 

[Bruv]

Odds & Ends - Yesterday My Love  flip side to Love makes the world go round. Current spin for me when I am in a 1970's Soul mood... 

[Rick Scott]

Pulled this out of my British Box ( LONDON Label) Came out on Jay Boy (UK) as well as Shout(US)

Would like to have Heard Jackie Wilson have a stab at this Such a great underrated Tune..... Rick

recent buy and absolute stomper, LP only

 

Edited February 10 by Shufflin

[Twoshoes]

I'd have never guessed that to be Freda Payne, nice post

[Guest Shufflin]

the entire album is quality, this is the standout track, another stomper

 

 

[Soulstrutter]

Not sure how well known this is ... but ... another take on Giving Up On Love (Aki Aleong 1963, Jerry Butler 1964, Sonny Childe 1965, Thee Midniters 1966) ..  by Little Jr. Jesse & His Tear Drops from 1971:  .... Sounds like George Lemons moonlighting on vocals

I agree ... sounds a bit blue-eyed ... it's from her '66 LP How Do You Say I Don't Love You Anymore which is a mainly MOR which I bought blind years ago.

There are a few other half decent tracks if you like beat ballads:

[Soulstrutter]

Only just come across this track from last year ...  It was on Soul Togetherness 2019 CD so I assume it has been hammered by DJ's ... if not it should be!

Can buy it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Giving-Remixes-Terri-Green-Project/dp/B07RF9FH3Q but looks like digital only or whole 'What A Feeling' album on CD? 

https://www.discogs.com/The-Terri-Green-Project-Giving-It-Up-Night-To-Remember/release/14363969

The Terri Green Project ‎– Giving It Up:

P.S. The other side is a decent remake/rehash? of Shalamar's - Night To Remember.

UPDATE: Somehow missed this ... it IS on vinyl released 29th Nov 2019:

... and 2 standout tracks from their debut LP Gimme Something Real from 1973 are well worth checking out:

Have You Ever Tried it (also on 45)

Ain't That Good Enough (LP only)

best track in (for once) an underwhelming album in the series (imo), listened to the LP tonight and it's too laid back overall, they need to return to the old formula from the first 3 LP's in the series which have stood the test of time

[Guest Shufflin]

massive fav right now, glorious mispress

I was listening Keep On Climbing to my ipod at work earlier this week, I was blown away, I said that I need to get it,

when I went home, I did a search and I realised that I already have it, it is in the Capitol Northern Soul box set, what a lovely surprise 

The intro of this

Immaculate cut from Lamont. His 70's albums are first rate..

Nice one 

 

[Westender]

Another one slightly out of left field. Susan is essentially a blues artist but with a hint of soul and country in her repertoire (check out the Tedeschi Trucks Band). She's just really good........

 

[Rick Scott]

Couldn't Agree with you more, this is one of my favourites from them, Class and then some......

Nice one fella. I've had a '66 version of this song by Brenda Lee for ages, and I knew I had heard the song somewhere else. Now I know where.

[Westender]

The O'Jays in great form. Love the way Eddie phrases the lyric. The harmonies are, of course, sublime.......
