The Soul 45

Posted

This might be interesting. We just did this on another music board with LPs & ended up not even being able to find a common artist let alone single LP on a board of collectors with seemingly similar tastes. If we can't get a common 45 then it drops to common artist & failing that common label. It's interesting because things that you think are a give in are not kept in the collection by some people because they are either too common, or not representative of their favorite sound. Let lots of "I don't own that" followed by "how can you not own that" ensue :D You have to currently have the 45 in question filed, pressings don't matter so long as you can find it on 45 in your collection.

I'll get the ball rolling, does anyone here not have:

The Supremes "Baby Love"

The Temptations "My Girl"

???

ps. if you don't collect 45s please don't say no to everything just to wreck it like I think some people were doing on the other board.

I get this Steve :lol:

With Quantum theory your records can be in two places at the same time. Although I understand that by rights if you use it to move a record through space instantaneously you have to destroy the original :D

It's just the animal cruelty that gets my goat.

Well I thought my copy of the Mixed Emotions was in my play box when in actual fact the t*** who nicked it probably has it in his. :D

So that's now

Marv Johnson You got the love I love

Supremes He's all I got

Elgins

Isley Brothers

Mark didn't comment on Isleys and Elgins but I have the feeling... 4 Tops may be "What is a man" and I don't have that

ROD

Yes he has but we are trying to find a common denominator throughout all collections although it is less likely if you only collect one type with just a smattering of the other.

The loss of the Carstairs is a huge blow as I'd convinced myself everybody likes/has it except Pete Smith.

Still we've learnt some things along the way foremost amongst which is to ignore completely the next "good idea" from NZ.

ROD

Hi I am back, been out all day, and taking a while to catch up,

Shame I had the Carstairs,

Also got Elgins & Isleys, hes all I got

Not got the others.

P :D

Clearly you should have smashed it first :D

So it's Elgins and Isleys, I would find it hard to understand why a vinyl collecting black music lover wouldn't have these commercially massive, cheap as chips 45's,

If we get really stuck I like that idea (Mace's?) of going for any version of Wade in the Water.

And that woulda been a belter of an idea.....had I happened to own a copy of any version which unfortunately I don't.

As you have your scientific head on have you drawn any conclusions, other than that most of the contributors shouldn't be allowed out on their own, based on the data provided on this thread.

I haven't myself but I thought I'd drop it in your lap in return for posting the Top 500.

Yes I agree with what I assume is the point you're making that because of their status they're overlooked by the cognescenti. OK we don't have to hear them everytime we go out but these should be in any self-abusing soul fan's collection so he can flick through them with his other hand.

ROD

They are overlooked, and rightly so in the main, as I said everyone must have liked em once (maybe still do but not when out) and they are that common that it's pointless trying to sell em on, so should really be tucked away somewhere in all collections, IMO

Supremes He's all I got

Elgins Heaven

Isley Brothers This old

Current Live

Can't believe it's taken 10 pages to get to these 3

I can't believe I came in at the death and got 2 of the current faves.Only thought of The Elgins because I heard it on radio 2 today and thought how great it still sounded .Feel bad about Rod's Carstairs choice tho ' as I do love it and wish I hadn't sold my pink Red Coach copy .Best,Eddie

In honesty Eddie for a while we were sidesteppin Motown, as Mark had mentioned he didn't have any,

Just playin Elgins now, and it's still on my Profile as my fave :D

The Supremes "He's All I Got" is the flip to "Love Is Like An Itching...."

I only collect US Motown DEMOs so we'll have to scrub that one too chaps as it's a double sided Demo.

My apologies.

I will however submit a substitute if that's OK:

Olympics - Baby Do The Philly Dog - Mirwood/Fontana

Tell me it's just a rumour - Isleys?

Shoot, I feel bad for creating this monster now. Do you reckon we'll find one? Or do you want to drop to common artists?

Gosh, this is fun.

Haven't been posting regularly because of time difference. I usually chek the site when all of you are sleeping tight so...

If I'm not wrong, there's no 45 left, so here are some suggestions:

Major Lance - Um Um Um

Precisions - If This Is Love (dunno if it's been done)

Carl Carlton - Competition Ain't Nothing

Marvin & Tammi - Two Can Have A Party

The Artistics - This Old Heart Of Mine

Back to basics...

cheers

Edited by mark.b

Really sorry, but I do have Marv Johnson (the b side threw me!)

Dont have the Precisions.

P :thumbup:

That *** pocket surfer is so slow, missed a few posts!

What about eliminating the Grapevine series? 101 to 147 (got all those)

Edited by paup-ine

I can't be bothered to go through 10 pages :wave: , but here would be my suggestion...

Otis Redding - Dock Of the Bay.

well i'll knock that one straight out - not got on single :yes:

p.s. Rod will be miffed with you for not doing your homework. (if you dont know what i mean, go back and read the first 9 pages :hypo: )

Welcome to this complete waste of time as was your suggestion.

We've already worked our way through top 500 [see post 213] and the new Top100 [see post 395] which appears to be the 100 45s least likely to be owned by anyone.

There have been others but as you're from down South in affluent Staines I wouldn't expect you to go through the entire thread but no doubt you have a Polish maid who could do that for you.

ROD

From what I can see there are no 45s up for consideration despite now trawling as far as Mexico for inspiration.

If paup-ine [what kinda bloody name is that!!] wants to go through the Grapevine releases and put those forward that would be a new start although Im sure it will end in the old way.

Remember though Porcupine that some of those Grapevines would have already been included on US labels in the previous suggestions so you will have to exercise a modicum of discernment and organisation in submitting your list. Two qualities sadly lacking so far.

For your information..She's Latvian. :hypo::wave:

It doesn't matter what label they are on. The idea is to find a record common to all so it can be the original, boot or re-issue.

I've not got Bynum 45 so that's out anyway.

So are you saying you haven't got any of the Grapevine releases on any other labels apart from the Bynum 45.

ROD

Yes much cheaper and bigger-breasted on the whole with the extra bonus of forging closer ties with those from behind the old Iron Curtain whilst the wife is at the supermarket.

Yes and she's probably got more NS 45s than you evidently have. As Porcupine hasn't reported in as yet do you want to put up say 10 NS 45s that you do have.

Unfortunately not the Lovelites.
