Wondering what are the best LP/albums featuring LP only northern soul tracks?

I'll start with Hesitations - Soul superman LP

Edited May 28May 28 by SHEFFSOUL

I've got this Chuck Bridges and the L.A. Happening L.P. on Vault, for this great track that never came out as a 45rpm.

"Head Over Heels"

Edited May 28May 28 by Solidsoul

This gets my vote 👍🏻

Cracking lp only tune

LPs very sought after these days and nobody sells it once they get it cause it’s great

Has to be The Tempests ...

Is there a bad track on the whole LP nope but you know it's these two 😊

Then there's this beauty ....

Betty Everett

Then you got the wonderful Maxine Brown

Too kind sir , whilst there are a few individuals left on here that have encyclopaedic knowledge of these things I just have an internet connection and access to a great thing called Google.

It's in fact Soul Source's own extensive archives and sites like Discogs and similar like 45Cat that have all the relevant information ...

I'm your Pimp" by the SkullSnaps on GSF was originally only on the USA SkullSnaps LP in 1973.

It was bootlegged/pressed on a 7" single in the 70's for the Northern scene on GSF.

It might have sneaked out on some foreign release or recent reissue, but in collectors circles it would be considered as LP only, to be an original.

Another great LP track.... The lovelites were a great group with so many great records

But this comes from their LP

I was referring to the "All of a sudden" track mentioned , sorry for the confusion regarding the IYP bit ...

James Brown - Why did you take your love away from me

About five or six months ago Tim Ashibende did a radio spot (possibly on a Dean Anderson show) playing album only tracks, and they were all excellent, and new to me. If the show is still online. it's well worth checkng out.

Here's just one of them. The Spellbinders - That's The Way You Make Me Feel

Cheers, I'll have to check that out. I know "Turn Me On" and another track from the RCA album were good.

Here's the other track on the Exciters album . . . Movin'Too Slow

great track but sound quality not so great..i think WDYTYLA came out on a Iranian EP..again sound was poor

if anyone can shine a light or post a link to the Tim Ashibende podcast that Mick Holdsworth referred to earlier (NOT the recent one with Dean Anderson feat Mike Terry interview) probably 5/6 months ago, im sure a few including me missed it..tia

Hi Elvis, the link I used was from Ckalky's own page on the media section of this sight, but those links are only valid for a short tim, and the link from that show is dead.. You might try searching for Tim on Mixcloud as the show will be there, it's just the external links seem to expire all to soon

Natalie told me thar Tim was on Deans show last Thursday and that he played some LP only tracks. I haven't listened to it yet, but it looks good.

Here's the link to the recent show. As said, it's not the show from six months ago, but a new one..
