Me too I might get a set as well.

I was going to say the same thing

Wot! No Ray Pollard

Darrell Banks is the best version. I bought it on it's Stateside release when it came out and it was one of the records that got me hooked on our great music.

My favourite by Martha and the Vandellas has to be I gotta let you go.

Isley brothers - Behind a painted smile

Always rated The Ultimations-Would I do it over The Prophets-My kind of girl and most things by The Sensations on Way Out

I started collecting in 1966. All that we could buy back then was U.K. issued stuff. As a result I still have a huge soft spot for anything on a U.K. label and will always try to get a British copy of a record ,rather than a U.S. copy if I can. Just recently I have been adding to my Stateside collection with a Tyrone Davis ,Betty Lavette and The Van Dykes.

The Chymes , Take me to paradise . I was listening to this today , without this thread in mind, and heard the line "I fought the war for you". As far as I can make out this is the only reference to the war in the song. Don't know if this classifies it as a Vietnam record.

Joe Tex , I believe i'm gonna make it. The flip side of You better believe it.

Jo Ann Garrett , Little brown letter

My copy is the same, bought as an original from what i thought was a reliable source.

Just heard the Ikea advert featuring the song 'One room paradise' anybody else heard it? Anybody know who's singing it?

Great choices they all bring back so many memories of that summer

Thank's Peter

How about Kool and the Gang , Summer Madness . Maybe someone can post a you tube clip , cos' I can't

Anybody else hear the Graham Norton Show this morning , I couldn't believe it when he played Dean Courtney , I'll always need you . In the past though he has played Mel Britt and other Northern tracks I can't remember. I can't believe Graham Norton is a Northern soul fan , so it has to be the show's producer.

I am an absolute sucker for anything on a British label . I have some of the biggies , but still missing quite a few. I also am addicted to collecting British labels i.e. Sue , Atlantic , Stax , Chess etc.

Willie Mitchell , The Champion Hank Jacobs , Elijah Rockin ' with Soul

For me it can only be Ray Pollard . A voice to equal that of any of the greats .

For me it was always the Isley Brothers - This old heart of mine , mainly because at the time I bought it the single of the title track was unavailable as was, I guess ill always love you ,although I bought it for these two tracks, as luck would have it the whole album is comprised of great material.

Here's my contribution. Eddie Jefferson - Oh Oh I'm in love again. Mel & Tim - Forever and a day

I have to confess that my personal addiction is any soul on a British label,regardless of what it sounds like.I also collect British labels, again it doesn't matter what it sounds like if I need it to complete a series I'll buy it.I also collect general Northern but only if I like it and get it a reasonable price.Never sell anything on the basis that the day I sell it for a fiver it will go massive and be worth a fortune.

Rex Garvin - Sock it to em J.B. Darrell Banks - Open the door Tony Clarke- You're the entertainer Capitols-Cool jerk Billy Stewart-Sitting in the park To this day I only have to hear any of these and they take me straight back to the 60Ts

So far this week Freeman Brothers , My Baby , Soul Mighty Clouds of Joy , Look on the Bright Side , ABC Bobby Patterson , Recipe for peace , Paula
