Hey there Do you have any more info on this CD or any other ? I've a vague recollection that a CD matching this description was available from Goldmine, but i've never been able to turn it up. Thanks Mick

Help wanted! Has there been a various artists CD released, with content of rare Northern Soul, sourced and compiled exclusively from rare album only tracks? I would be great full for any feedback. Best Mick

The "diggers" strike gold! After 40 years of trawling second hand and charity shops without turning anything up worth a light, I can only say good on ya! Nice one! Mick

LP only? 42 years and still a learnin folks! Sorry 'bout that. Mick

Another personal Fav: Four Tops "Save it for a rainy day"

Gayle Winters blue eyed effort: You don't have to be in love

Some nifty pieces there, always been a big fan of the Buddy Miles, Johnny Bristol produced Lp. The Dorothy Moor was new to me. Nice one. Mick

Some great tracks have come to light on this thread. try this Swiss Movement "The Grass is Greener", the album comes with the excellent pedigree of David Van dePitt's production. Also check out "come round here" I must say that the Gladys Knight track from Feelin Bluesy escaped me, despite owning it, so soulful:

How Many Versions Of "open The Door To Your Heart" ; Ecky thump! Didn't know that there were so many versions I hadn't heard of. This is not including the pop versions by the like of Amen Corner and Chris Farlow. Keep em coming guys. As a matter of interest how do you attache sound files to a Forum response? Best Mick

Hi all I would be interested to know how many versions there are of Darrell Banks's classic tune. this is Gloria Lynns: Gloria Lynne - Open the Door to your Heart - Fontana US Best Mick

The Underdogs - Mo Jo Hanna - VI[P Blue Eyed I know but this is certainly a mover.

Re : Gene Townsel tracks Don't know if this is a legit reissue on 45 ? The LP is much saught after and costs an arm & a leg! Mick

I hope that this works. Extracts of classic interviews by Richard from his CFOS

Great Stuff! Keep em coming. Mick

Quality 45's produced in 1970's and 80's, that may be picked up for less than a Tenner.

I ain't laughed so much in a week! nice one guys, keep it up!!!! Cheers Mick

the flips pretty good to, as I recall mick

Does anyone know of a CD compilation of LP only tracks issued a few years back? If so Title,Lable and availability would be great! Thanks Mick

Re Al Green A million to one - From the Can't stop LP - Does it for me Go To: /more/soul-library/al-green-a-million-to-one-i-cant-stop-lp

Re jimmy James Great choice Jezz. Best track on the New Religion LP in my humble. Nice one! Mick

RE : New Sounds Turbo LP Lovely crossover sounds, nearly bought a copy from Kin Bee on P.Vine , but skipped because it was a pricey for my pocket. Nice one! Mick P.S. Thanks to Doog for his input on the "My love is your love^track. During the early 80T's I pestered Dave Evison to play it on his Signal show, Which he did eventually but without any reaction. I spotted today that both versions are on the new Isley's Motown CD anthology, along with most of the other then previously unreleased 70's MFP and regal Starline material.

Was that a US only release until the UK EMI Starline LP ? Thanks for the response.

ISLEY BROTHERS BORN TO BE BAD MFP LP file:///C:/Users/MICKSW~1/AppData/Local/Temp/image.bmp

Hi all Motown are of course well represented with a number of LP only tracks under this thread. 24 Hours is a classic - I also note that someone else has posted refos of Edwins War & Peace tracks, including the underrated "she should have been home" Earlier in this thread The Isley's My Love is your Love was also highlighted. Does anyone know who was responsible for breaking this tune? The LP Tamla Motown presents The Isley Brothers on MFP,is not rare as such, but was a bit of a surprise at the time of release (from memory about 1971) since it included a number of quality previously unreleased tracks. These included My Love, Born to love you and sad souvenirs. Some of these have not received the credit that they deserved, for instance Born to Love You was covered by a number of motown groups including the Temps, however the Isley's is in my view the best version. An alternative mix of My Love was also made available as a bonus track on a 2002 CD release of the This Old Heart of Mine LP. For some strange reason in the early 1970'S EMI put out a number of previously unreleased Motown tracks on their budget Sounds Superb and MFP labels. These included Kiki Dee's excellent version of "I'll try something new" , the Isley's and Jimmy Ruffins' "born to be bad" . There was also a great stereo version of Mary Wells greatest hits which included a first rate version of "when I'm gone" . If anyone picks this up I'd be interested to know the history of that particular version , in particular where else it was released. Any feedback on these comments would be appreciated. Up until now there have been some great suggestions and tracks posted under this thread. Thanks Mick
