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"

    Harvey Averne - Never Learned To Dance and as mentioned The Tempest, that takes some beating without a doubt.

    Harvey has a 7" 45.

    Marlena Shaw I just want this feeling to last.

    Skullsnaps I'm your Pimp/All of a sudden ( same album)

    Willie Hutch lucky to be loved by you

    These are 3 I have that I can think of, off the top of my head.

    Skullsnaps has a 45 release.

    Sorry if I have it wrong someonetold me that im your your Pimp was Album only and the 45 was a reissue? If wrong I stand corrected. I know my hang up with you is a 45 as have one of those..

    Thank you, did not know that, love this site for all the info people have, 😀

    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 ... wink

    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.

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

    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.

    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..
