If the Vietnam stuff is included how about these? The Dynamics-Lights out-RCA The Hesitations-Who will Answer-Kapp Jo Ann Garrett-Little Brown Letter-Duo THe Supremes-Bill, When are You Coming Back-Motown Donnie Elbert-Mr Peanut Goes to Washington Kev

I'd put in a demo copy of 'Job Opening' and a picture of Colne bus station. (On a cold afternoon). Kev

Hope it wasn't an expensive one Phil and I hope you get it sorted. Kev See Damage Limitation.

Kiki Dees also cheap as chips on Sounds Superb. Great Album. Lots of Motown Covers and Deon Jackson etc. Well worth £4.69 incl. P&P

Anyone got a clip of Marvin singing 'Baby I'm for Real' and 'Stepping Closer to Your Heart' as I've never heard these versions. Thanks Kev

Which album Tony-I've got a thing about the Supremes at the moment. Can't stop playing 'Mother you, Smother' you off the Supremes sing Motown at the mo.

Damage limitation.

Law of the Land Joan. I once bought a w/d copy of The Dynamics 'Yes I love You' Top Ten off Matt Simpson down the 100club for £15. About a month later I was strapped for cash and sold it to Mr Brady for £150. Told matt and to compensate sold him some reords from my box at cheap value. Everyone's happy. Me him and Pat. Do you get it now? Kev

Wish my cd burner was working AArrrggghhhhh! Christmas soon. Kev

Another great Smokey Robinson and the Miracles-Just Losing You- I've only managed to pick it up on a Sounds Superb album so far but take my word its 'hairs on the back of your neck' kinda tune.

Is it just me but doesn't the later Smokey version of 'I'll try something new' sound better than the Miracles early 60's version. Kiki Dees version is also outstanding. What a vocal! Kev

Hey Ian I was reading the Pinnacle thread and you seem to know a bit about the business. I've read 'Death of Rhythm' & Blues and 'The History of Stax records' etc etc but could do with more info. What would be the market coverage of say a The Tempests, Maxine Brown, Chuck Jackson or Garnet Mimms album as opposed to The Miracles or The Tams etc. Any ideas??? Cheers Kev

I haven't come across that one yet-but Aretha has done so many good songs-one of my favourites lately has been 'I'm in love'. Kev

I don't think that's a fair comment as there's lots of 60's album tracks that have 'goodies' i. e. Leon Haywood 'Got to be mellow' or The Metros 'Do the Pied Piper'. The Shades of Blue 'A Way to Love' All phonomenal tunes. But you're probably right in the respect that albums in the black record market were not compiled in large amounts until later in the sixties, with the probable exception of the bigger soul labels like Stax and Motown. But surely Wand/Capitol/RCA/WB and others had there share of the market. Anyone got any more info please? Kev

Thanks must check that one out again. Kev

Why not split the cost then no one loses out. seems the right thing to do to me. Kev

Hi Paul Didn't know you did the album trail. Nina Simone's version of House of the rising sun is also awesome. builds and builds into a crazy thingymijiggy. Kev (You heard from Oscar lately? (Give him a ring)

Here's a few more from me to open it up a bit more. David Hudson-I've got a feeling-Waylo The Hesitations-Human-Kapp The Four Tops-Bits and Pieces-ABC Donnie Elbert-What Can I Do-All Platinum The Originals-Take This Love-Fantasy Margie Joseph-He Came into my life-Atlantic Aretha-Daydreaming-Atlantic George McCrae-Never Never Girl-TK Barry White-You're So Good You're Bad-PYE The Escorts-Look Over Your Shoulder-Alithia I know some of these came out on 45 as well but all great tracks IMO Kev

Great. Thanks Andy glad somebody bit. Wasn't sure if coz of the albim thread some would wide bearth it. What album is the Willie Hutch on???? Always loved his version of Jesus loves me yes I know from the Mark of the Beast albun. Kev

Just thought as the ballads thread seems to be doing so well. And not knowing if this has been done recently as I'm a fairly new member. What about favourite mid tempo/ballad album tracks. Now I know that lots of folk are 45 only kinda people but most have a few hidden lp gems somewere and I suspect that a lot have lots. Any chance of sharing them? C'mon folks I'll start with the first five. Shirley Brown-When you really love somebody-Arista The New Sound-Everybody wants to be free-Turbo/P-Vine Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers-Who Are You-Source Anita Ward-Cover Me-TK The Moments-Lady in Blue-Stang.

I'm off for me tea.

Don't care if it's underground or not me as long as I meet decent people and the music has been through quality control.
