I'm human too - clifford binns - carrie album track 12218 refosoul

Who told you - clifford binns - carrie album 12217 refosoul

In 1987 James Hendricks operating out of Nashville, Tennessee released an album on Carrie entitled 'Sounds Of The Sixties'. Featuring 11 tracks it included 2 from Clifford Binns "Who told you" and "I'm human too". Have these 2 cuts been released anywhere else? Checked the recent LaBeat CD from Grapevine but there's no mention. Copies of this album came into the UK and were sold through lists quite cheaply, seem to think they were all in plain white card sleeves (like my copy is). Haven't seen a copy for sale in years. "Who told you" is a great slice of moody empty Detroitness whilst "I'm human too" is quite nice in a bouncy kind of way. onwards, derek

Tha man that I am - ohio players - capitol album track 12216 refosoul

Seem to think it was Paul Johnson from Bolton that siddled up to me at an all-nighter sometime in the nineties and said "You need this Derek" and handed me an Ohio Players album. It was taken home on approval and played several times. I convinced myself it was a monster in the making, a sorta cross between Ann Sexton "Gone too long" and some thing else I've forgotten. Came across it again last week and Mmmm isn't it amazing how the passage of time damps down your excitement levels. Then it was awesome now it's only average. Ohio Players "The man that I am" found on the Capitol album 'The Ohio Players' (SM-11291), the one with green, red and black zig zag stripes on the front cover. Previously released as 'Observations in time' (ST-192). Damn does that mean I've got a re-issue! Oh the shame of it...... derek Think PJ charged me £8 for it

A well known record dealer who's already been mentioned in this thread has a copy of this album for sale at £75. derek

Aint got no love - van mccoy - sss album 12011 refosoul

Just another dress rehearsal - van mccoy - sss album only 12010 refosoul Chris Bartley on vocals?

I seem to think I've rambled on about this weird album many times over the last few years on here. And now with the inclusion of sound clips we can discuss it further. But first check the dreadful front cover - oh dear Released in 1976 on the Shelby Singleton owned SSS label out of Nashville, Tennessee. Featuring 10 tracks sadly most of them are instrumentals but not of the expected disco kind more like completely forgetable fillers. Strange? But tucked quietly away are some decent vocal tracks, the best being the gorgeous "Just another dress rehearsal". Despite the album's cosy title none of Van's friends even get a credit or mention anywhere. See informative rear cover - dig those boots I've always been lead to believe it's Chris Bartley singing away on the two above named vocal cuts, whether I've just been repeating parrot fashion what I've been told or read I don't know, but on "Just another dress rehearsal" even with my cloth ears that does sound just like Chris. Also my fog of a memory tells me this cut was or has been played covered up many years ago on the northern scene - anybody confirm? Just to be different my copy is on Australian SSS - same as Bri Pinch's copy And I agree with Andy's suggestion that it was probably a "cash in" release that was suppoused to ride in on the back of "The Hustle" which was massive a year earlier. Looks like it didn't. John Manship currently has on auction an acetate by the Van McCoy Strings performing the - stupendous unissued - instrumental "Dress rehersal". I'm unable to play the soundclips on John's site so cannot comment - is it simply the instrumental to the vocal version contained on this SSS album? I suspect Simon Soussan would have beefed up the instrumental wouldn't he? Can anybody compare and confirm? It's all good fun, derek If I get time/chance I'll try post up the other 2 tracks as favoured by Andy and Bri.

hey up Chris how's it going? Both records have sold so it's been a good day all round. onwards, derek
