One of my faves on the label. Far superior to the Honey & The Bees version in my opinion (released as "Baby Do That Thing").

I seem to recall from the dusty recesses of my memory that Kenny Gamble's "Chains of love" is the label's rarest and also a brilliant record. Weren't the labels blank on the release (which makes a scan less exciting than it might be)? :shades:

:unsure: Yes I know the pic of honey n the bees is the josie one.....okeh :D

Roger.....

how the hell are ya mate :shades:

mel-o-delphia

ps

I sold my blank labeled 45 of 'the jokes on you' to joey dunlop last year.....still wish I didnt....As ever gave it away as usual......good mate though :unsure: I had it for over 10yrs or more and when collecting Arctic years ago was after the jimmy bishop no1 and jeeze its shtie...Still got a few though. :lol:

pic is Jimmy bishop with honey n bee's......

anyone got a sound clip of BILLY FLOYD - MY OH MY/TIME MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?,,,thanks ,,KEV.

The Ambassadors "Ain't Got The Love Of One Girl" sounds great these days and appears to be drying up as a cheap single.

Edited by garethx

and the rarest tune on the artic label is

CINDY GIBSON STEP BY STEP

a killer tune

The Ambassadors "Ain't Got The Love Of No One Girl" sounds great these days and appears to be drying up as a cheap single.

BRILLIANT TUNE AND GETTING ELUSIVE ,MY FAVE TRACK BY THEM IS THE BRILL BEAR WITH ME[uPTOWN]BUT GREAT GREAT STUFF ON ARCTIC.

BAZ A

For me one of the best outings on the lable is Dee Dee Barnes - Do What You Wanna Do - Arctic 138 the old Michelles cover-up for Russ from '77 -'78 at Wigan. It also one of the demo's that was double sided thumbsup.gif and the flip (I'm yours and You're Mine) is a nice tune for playing at home.

such quality tunes.....I am supposed to be working, but can't stop playing tunes from this thread

MONSTER TUNE! Yes, my copy looks like crap, but it plays like a dream and cost me $10 so... :thumbsup:

Seb is the soundclip from this same copy? I think I sold you this one a few years ago, it was totally destroyed if I remember correctly, but if this is the same copy it plays amazingly well!

Thanks to all for the clips/scans, one of my fave labels, even in Philly many of these have become very very hard to turn up these days, for sure.

Hi djr/Dave, hope you are well!! thumbsup.gif

And agreed on "A Lady's Man", not sure why I love this one so much but after hearing it tons of times I never tire of it, TOP track. Still a pretty easy one to find, fortunately.

Ain't Got The Love Of One Girl - ambassadors - arctic

16059 refosoul

I absolutely love this track. I actually bought it a few years back for "Music", and somehow misfiled it.....a few months later I was thinking about selling it and flipped it over. One spin and I knew it wasn't going anywhere.

Hello Haim, I'm doing well. I hope everything is well with you.

And boy are you right, Arctic titles are tough to find in the Philly area these days....

Seb is the soundclip from this same copy? I think I sold you this one a few years ago, it was totally destroyed if I remember correctly, but if this is the same copy it plays amazingly well!

Yes, that's the copy I got from you and yes, the soundclip is taken straight from the 45. :thumbsup: It really does look like TOTAL hell though. It's one of the few issue copies as well that I've seen of "Love Addict", seems to be mostly demo copies around.

such quality tunes.....I am supposed to be working, but can't stop playing tunes from this thread

:thumbsup:

And that's what it is all about brill tracks from the Artic label...some i am familiar with, others...hearing for the first time ... :thumbsup: .....Thanks to all the posters so far for sharing part of their collections on here...greatly appreciatied....looking for ward to hear more....keep going troops...sooo much fabso muso still to be played off this label i'm sure.....Delxx

and the rarest tune on the artic label is

CINDY GIBSON STEP BY STEP

a killer tune

I'll agree with that Mick :thumbsup:

Yes issues are pretty rare it seems, I think I've only seen two or three including yours....and all the ones I've had have been really rough. I'd love a clean one for myself, I'll find one one of these days......there's gotta be a few more hidden away somewhere in Cheesesteak City.

Canadian Arctic :thumbsup:

they're on nice vinyl but labels are nowhere near as pretty

It may or may not be as pretty but at least the Canadians know there are no penguins in the arctic :thumbsup:

CINDY GIBSON STEP BY STEP

a killer tune

I'd agree and as someone who used to collect the Arctic label until I gave up trying to find "Chains of love", I'd wager the B side of this is pretty good too! I used to play Step by step at Southgate a few years back, to good reaction. Might dust it off for revival - think it cost me £40 :thumbsup: . Steve

Plenty more Arctic's to be listed folks so keep going. :thumbsup:
