Four Voices - Your Love Is Getting Stronger & With A Lonely Heart.

Lots of really good suggestions above too such as the Admirations, Jack Montgomery, Billy Hambric, Dena Barnes etc - very tricky to pick the best of the best, so just fortunate you can listen to two for the price of one... now where have I heard that one if it’s not too late to mention it, or picture it in a sleeve...

I don't claim these are the greatest ever but they are wonderful double siders and certainly my taste in Soul and in the tradition of a dance record and a ballad on one disc. 

Tyrone Davis Running a losing race / I tried it over    Sack

Bobbie Jean Bland I'm satisfied just loving you / Do it    Sack 

I tried it over and Do it are just wonderful Soul music in my opinion.

Soul Source has been my number one website to follow for many years.  It's great to see the faith still be shared.

When I started on this journey over 40 years ago there was no Internet, but everyone shared the knowledge and helped one another.  It's fantastic to see that after all these years we still have Soul Source and each other.

For all the younger generation and people just getting into soul music, this is a great place to be.

As we would say back in the day.

Keep the faith ✊

Keep em coming folks, thank you

Lonnie Russ Say Girl / Something For My Love Kerwood

Tales of a recovering vinyl junkie.  Years ago I was at the 100 club and there was a copy for sale and I knew it would be a long time before I saw another and had to have it.  The wife was really concerned as I said if I don't sell enough records tonight to buy it I'll offer my car lol.  I did get the record and didn't have to part with car lol

Definitely, great to see both Admirations/Aspirations quoted.

I think Harpo (when he had his original collection) and Ted both had the rarer Aspirations.

As time has gone on there maybe more?

Both sides pure quality 

I played the B side a few months ago as a request at the Spitfire Club. A couple of people came up to enquire what it was.  As you say, pure quality.

Maybe not in the same league as Jon And The Weirdest – Can't Get Over These Memories / No Time or Jackey Beavers – I Need My Baby / Love That Never Grows Old

But two very good sides - Billy Kennedy – This Is A Groovy Generation / Sweet Things

Broadways Sweet & Heavenly Melody/You Just Don't Know

Jerry Williams If You Ask Me/Yvonne

Shirley J Scott Goosepimples/Lonely Girl

What's evident from the responses is you could have a tidy half price collection if you concentrated on double headers!

It’s fascinating going through the thread, a proper mixed bag of quality soul. Anyone just getting into soul music, look at the posted suggestions, get on to YouTube and play them, guaranteed you’ll be hooked.  Then find them, buy them and enjoy them.

Some of the popular suggestions in no particular order –

Darrell Banks – Open The Door To Your Heart / Our Love (Is In The Pocket)

The O'Jays – Hold On / Working On Your Case

John And The Weirdest – Can't Get Over These Memories / No Time

Admirations/Aspirations - You left me / I want to be free

Billy Hambric - She said goodbye/ I found a true love

Jackie Beavers - I need my baby/ a love that never grows old

Cashmeres - Showstopper /Don’t let the door

Dearly Beloved /Do You Believe It - Jack Montgomery

Bernard Williams – It's Needless to Say / Focused On You

My Kind of Woman / You're my Mellow - Edwin Starr

Show Stoppers - Ain't Nothing But A House Party / What Can A Man Do

Larry Atkins - Ain't that love enough /Lighten up 

Ruby – Feminine Ingenuity / Deceived

I used to have a blank white label test pressing you could drop the needle on any side and be guaranteed a monster.

Used to be known as Billy Kennedy until stock copies were discovered........
