I divide my records into Northern (6ts) and Modern & Crossover (Basically everything else)... I mean 'Channel 3 - Sweetest Thing' the ultimate record that covers both genres right, too Modern for a 6ts only bod, but an oldie 7ts track for any folks that listen to anything past 81 say, when the sound changed again...

You should really do a top 500 on this, but here are some Biggies that you all know I expect allot of these are Mecca and Morcombe Pier spins, so folks like Shaun Gibbons, Carl Fortnum etc etc Curtis Anderson - The Hardest Part - Not first but Keb was spinning this 2003/4 Klas - Let’s Make Love Tonight LaRom Baker - You're the Best - Arthur Fenn Millie Jackson - You Can't Stand The Thought Of Another Man Loving Me - LP originally, but picked up by the 100 club crew for sure in the 9ts.. Pages - Heartaches & Pain Betty Wright - Open The Door To Your Heart - Played by Sam Judy Freeman & Blackrock - Hold On - Richard Searling, I think Masterpiece - Love Affair Mighty Pope - If You Want A Love Affair - Butch Charles Johnson - Never Had A Love So Good - loads played this, but I rememeber Richard Searlings name being attached to it. Bobby Sheen - Something New To Do - Dave Thorley Lifestyle - Katrina Tony Troutman - Whats the Use Tony Drake - Suddenly 24 Karat Gold - What Does The Future Hold Lee McDonald - I'll do Anything For You Stevens & Foster - I Want To Be Love Mixed Emotions - Gold of My Life Eric Lomax - Seven the Loser The Oggletree Brothers - Gonna Keep a check on yo Natural High - You Make Me So Very Happy Odessey - Battened Ships Jan Jones - Independent Woman - discovered/played by Ian Clark Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got E.S.P Fantastic Johnny C - Dont Depend on Me Norma Jean - I've Taken Over The Ad Libs - I Dont Need No Fortuneteller and these are all bubbling under tunes... the list goes on... Ecstasy, Passion and Pain - Ask Me Joshie Jo Armstead - I Got The Vibes The Modulations - Your Love has me Locked up Greg Perry - Come on Down Nolan Porter - Ohh Baby

and this, given this is one guy right...

Follow this guy on YT, you might enjoy his stuff, he's really good, all for the most part shot in his spare room, you will love his James brown....

Polydor Down Under if its of use...

I’ve noticed allot of member locations, i.e, the written location on the profile do not match the map... mine doesn’t, the pin is bucks, but I live in Wales... unless the location feature maybe helps with spammers like your recent Indian post Mike, it's fun, but I don’t think that map is all that necessary.

Ralph, the USA release of Porgy and the Monarchs suffers dreadfully from distortion on 'Think Twice' on the Styrene copies they did, whats' the Italian press like? Malc

To open this out a bit but stay with the top 10/20 format, I found this online I hadn't seen before, slight change to LP tracks, andf all with 'Diana', we like Motown Lp tracks on here... and some great photography! Ian Philips is obviously a big soul fan! So, keep em coming and I'll pubish a Soul Source Fans top 10 for the Supremes.. which will EXCLUDE 'Nathan Jones' ! sorry that song has gotta go... https://ianphillipssite.wordpress.com/2021/08/06/the-top-10-albums-by-the-supremes-with-diana-ross/

ohhhh corker....!

From pillowy pop to foot-stomping beats: The Supremes’ 20 best songs – ranked! from the Guardian. You know its a traffic driver given it's linked to the Guardian Music channels, but overall a bit vague in that they seem to have listed a few post 1970, i.e without Diana, but called it 'Supremes' so I guess that gets round that... no mention of any of the early tracks 'Buttered Popcorn' et al, I guess 'No Hit Supremes' tracks don't cut the mustard here, and no pictures of Cindy Birdsong or Jean Terrell, or any of the later members of the goup. That said, I'd have added the following tracks, You've Been So Wonderful To Me, He's All I Got, & Take a look Inside, which I guess are less known the general public, but still very very good songs. Any body up for re doing this list, and what would you add? https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jun/06/from-pillowy-pop-to-foot-stomping-beats-the-supremes-20-best-songs-ranked
