Keamus Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Apologies just two from me today. Played Chris Bartley’s - ‘The sweetest thing this side of heaven’ yesterday for first time in years.

The Ultimates, You're My Lady Sounds great, I have to admit I've always found 'Girl I've Been Trying To Tell You' just a tad too sweet for my ears, but I like the other tracks on this Lp... 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' sounds like a crap title, but it’s a great song... I see 'Have You Ever' which is class.....as listed for this LP, but it seems to not be on certain label releases?? Graham International, Tsg records and a P-Vine reissue... is this a gospel Lp? * The Enchanted Five – Have You Ever (That's What It Means), its a comp with the same title, not the Ultimates as Ive said above Edited January 23, 2023 by Mal C Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mal As you asked, the Gavin Christopher did gain a 45 release, and a nice track. Took me a few years to find that Arnold McCuller on 7'', bit of a cult following as a new release, having said that Robbie Vincent played it on radio 1 when it first came out. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There was a Arnold McCuller for sale on here some years back, was a few hundred quid I think, cheap really. Obviously I missed it.. I'd love a Gavin Christopher 7", if anybody has one?

Popular Post Candiman Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 10 is impossible but 20 LPs should be doable, or so I thought... Here are just over 20 that I don't think have been mentioned before, followed by a good few more that already have been mentioned but are also essential so need to be listed again. Back To Oakland – Tower Of Power Ask Rufus - Rufus featuring Chaka Khan Jean Carn s/t Diamond In The Rough / Is It Because I'm Black / Back For A Taste Of Your Love- Syl Johnson Super Dude I - Don Covay I'm Just A Prisoner & Candi (1974) – Candi Staton Love Sign – The Counts Rockin' You Eternally – Leon Ware Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get - The Dramatics Lady T – Teena Marie Have You Heard This Story? - Swamp Dogg Clones of Dr Funkenstein – Parliament Get It Out'cha System – Millie Jackson Light Of Worlds – Kool & The Gang If Loving You is Wrong I Don't Want To Be Right – Luther Ingram The Five Stairsteps - 2nd Resurrection Is It Still Good To Ya – Ashford & Simpson You Send Me – Roy Ayers Innervisions & Talking Book – Stevie Wonder Dreamer - Bobby Bland The Pointer Sisters s/t Barrabas s/t I Love The Way You Love – Betty Wright Acoustic Soul – India.Arie The ones that have already been mentioned: Relight My Fire – Rhetta Hughes 3 + 3 – Isley Brothers Last Days And Time – Earth, Wind & Fire Rufusized – Rufus The Show Must Go On - Sam Dees What Am I Gonna Do - Gloria Scott What Color Is Love – Terry Callier With Love From.. The Lovelites What's Going On? - Marvin Gaye Caught Up - Millie Jackson I Can't Stand The Rain – Ann Peebles Pieces Of A Man - Gil Scott-Heron Higher & Higher – Jackie Wilson The Poet - Bobby Womack His California Album - Bobby Bland Compilations are usually excluded I know but I just have to mention these: Motown Chartbusters Vol 6 (the first album I ever bought) The Best Of Norman Connors And Friends. Of course by the time I have also considered other genres – Rock, Jazz, Jazz-Funk, Reggae, SSW I'd be well over a 100! 3 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
