Many great double siders of the same style but whats your favorite double sider of different styles? Two of my faves are

Len Jewell....All My Good Lovin' (Northern) and The Elevator Song (X-over) Pzazz

Sam Nesbit...Black Mother Goose/ Chase Those Clouds Away Amos

Loads of styles to choose from deep,funk ballads etc so whats yours?

Blake

Edited September 14, 200717 yr by chalky

Tunes for 'different scenes'?....

Oscar Perry - I Got What You Need /

Come On Home To Me (CHOOON!!)

Eloise Laws - Love Factory/

Stay With me (CHOOON!!)

Steve

two that spring to mind,

Big Maybelle "I just can't wait any longer/Quittin' time Rojac

Beverley Shaeffer "even the score/where will you be boy"

two totally different styles on both discs,both breathtaking in their own way

Mick

this is terrific good choice.

5 from me.

Innersouls "take your time / thoughts" Plemmons

Walter B "Before I fall in love / mans way of life" Sunshine

Lon Rogers "My girl is a soul girl / too good to be true" Ramco

Barbara Hall "Big man / broken hearted" Tuska

Buddy Cantrell "Ain't no good / why did you leave me ?" Tuska which leads appropiatelyt to WHY did I sell this grrr.......

Any chance of a sound clip of the Barbera Hall

Cheers

M.

I seem to recall seeing Dave Halsall's copy and the label being "Emandolyn" - does that sound about right?

Don't know about an alternate flip to the Lawton 45 - be interesting if anyone knows more though.

The flipside to "We want freedom" on "Emandolyn" is "Don`t ever hurt me" same as the "Lawton" 45 but it`s not that title on the label it`s something else,can`t remember at the mo i`ll dig it out latter and let you know.

Dave f..............

Ike Lovely I want it all / You're my bad habit Capitol

Al Gardner Watch yourself/ Just a touch of your hand Sir-Rah

Two great raw boned dancers with beautiful deep ballads flipside. An odd one has to be the Bad Boys - What took you so long/ You're not alone anymore.

Topside an OV Wright soundalike and the flipside like Del Shannon on the dancing powder.

Cheers

Ha Dave you got one as well have you?

Yes Steve, you don`t turn down quality 45s like this when there offered to you as you know ,

Dave f..............

Right just dug it out,the flip side is called "When he slowly moves away" but it plays "Don`t ever hurt me",

was told the history about this but can`t remember the full story,i`ll have to have a chat with DH when i see him next,

also what`s strange is that it`s got a "Bendo Wright Associates" distributers label over the title.

Think they all have that on em Dave.

Seem to recall the story was that Ernie Campbell pressed up some promos, but never distributed them. By the time old Dave Hassle found him he had 25 left and Dave got them all. I've never seen or heard of a copy that didn't come from Dave so it's fair to say the rest were probably trashed. Dave never got any Nurons off of him either

I thought DH got some tapes from Campbell or his son with some unissued stuff on and one of the tracks was

"When he moves slowly away",so Dave got the 45s expecting that track to be the on the 45s but due to some pressing plant mix up it ended up being "Don`t ever hurt me" instead,i think Dave also said that Campbell Jr found these 45s tucked away somewhere in the studio when they were doing some new building work on the studio,but then again i could be completly wrong .

Dave f.....................

Hey John, your last played clip "The Magic Is Gone" is my old Sunny & The Sunliners cover up (Bradford Queens Hall days).

Must have taped it for you nearly 25 years ago?

Wierd huh!

Think I'd have a seizure if I tried to shake a leg to it nowadays!

Sean

Hmm, it did sound familiar... I think I recall the tape it is on - still got it somewhere

Thanks for the info on the Rotations 45 also guys

Stronger than her love/Settle Down The Flirtations

Blake

Has anybody mentioioned Jaibi on Kapp?

the Northern 'What Good Am I' backed by the sublime Deep soul of 'You Got Me' -one of the finest tracks ever!

and staying with Larry Banks ...

Kenny Carter - 'Got to get myself together' b/w 'Showdown'

both championed by the late Dave Godin of course

Mike

here's one that is completely different in style..............

Capitols 'Cool Jerk' / 'Hello Stranger' Karen

hello stranger what a fantastic tune always play it

hello stranger what a fantastic tune always play it

Barbara Lewis version is an all time classic - pride of place yellow London demo. "Sho wop de wop doo wop"

AS ALREADY MENTIONED TOP ONE FOR ME WOULD BE ..MARY WELLS,DEAR LOVER/CANT YOU SEE..

A COUPLE OF COMMON BUT NONE THE LESS GOOD TUNES..

GONNA MESS UP A GOOD THING/JERK LOOSE...FONTELLA BASS&BOBBYMCLURE/OLIVER SAIN

ITCHING IN MY HEART/HES ALL I GOT....SUPREMES

So Many Of These Blake, but for me one of my all time favourite double siders is

Just Don't Pay/ I Don't Wanna Leave You - Debbie Taylor

What more do I need to say about this?

Nuff Said!

Bully

YOU CAN'T CHOOOONS

Moses Smith on Cotillion has not been mentioned yet, so:

Moses Smith - Come on Let me love you / Keep on striving / Cotillion

Also some lesser talked about b sides that I reckon are great:

Oretha Barnes - Never loved nobody / Waiting for Joey / Coral

Clara woods- Your after my guy / Old & Grey / Imperial

Clydie king - soft & gentle ways/- He'll always come back / Imperial

how about..betty everett - love comes tumbling down (uptempo r n coupled with people around me (smooth x over) they sound like they were recorded 10 years apart

Must say I've not seen it very often... at any price, but do recall Craig having one on for £300+ years ago.

That Mary Love on Elco got two pressings, slightly different takes...

Double siders for me would be:

Pearl Dowdell "Good Things" / "It's All Over" (Saadia) - storming funk backed with crossover perfection

Roosevelt Matthews "Tighten Up" / "You Got Me Digging You" (King) - ditto

Good topic!

Surely this subject can't be addressed without menitioning this mind bender...

The Golden Toadstools - Silly Savage (unrelenting R&B madness)

- Golden River (countryfied soulful lushness)

I'd post soundclips but I'm at work

Just off the top of my head ,

TOMMIE YOUNG - HIT AND RUN LOVER/TAKE TIME OUT TO KNOW HIM - SOUL POWER

(x/over and gospelish type )

LILLIAN DUPRE - SHEILD AROUND MY HEART/HIDE AND SEEK - D-TOWN

(mid tempo/xover and stomping northern)

THE TECHNICS - CAUSE I REALLY LOVE YOU/A MANS CONFESSION - CHEX

(

I think the 3 best funk/xover 45's have been mentioned

Pearl Dowell

Herman Hitson

Ray Frazier

these I'd still take the 1st cut mentioned but I was happy for the bonus side when I bought them

Wilma Scott - Its a mean old world/ Smokin - ballad/R&B

Bernard Drake - I've been untrue/ Natural thing - xover/funk

Honey &the bees - Love addict/I'll be there - funk/sweet soul

Winfield Parker- Brand new start/ Shake that thing - ballad/funk

ET White - Gotta find a true love/walk on woman - sweet soul/funk

Fantastic Epics - we do it all up in here/lets get together - funk/xover

Dolly Gilmore - Sweet Sweet Baby/ Dont you know you're the yes - Dove - Funky dancer b/w fantastic x over heaven

Charles Mintz - Running Back/ Lucky Guy - Uplook - Ditto

Russ

Bobby Sheen

Sweet, sweet, love / Dr Love
