Loved that track for many years Rich, was the first to get me into JB's more soulful side that he showed in the 70's, When I posted that to Youtube UMG evntually put a "copywright" on it, but still alows it to be played, as you can see. Thing is the flip (JB and Lyn's great duet of the Burt Bacharach "This Guy This Girls In Love") UMG "copywrited" it but won't alow it to be played at all? and UMG with some of the other JB's I posted block 'em only in Germany? Strange world of Youtube! steve

another double sider LMNOP's with "I Need You" and "Calling" https://youtu.be/nJvFB__3EQY https://youtu.be/rVD2edG8eTU steve

new one here, really like this, spot on mate! steve

Agree Martyn about Juanita's "Baby Boy" (good choice Rich) really rate the sublime flip too "You Knew What You Was Getting" "baby boy's right up there for me with the best of Ric-Tic Golden world stuff steve

These amonst so many rate at the top of the list for me.... Eddie Parker "But If You Must Go" (the 45 version) Smokey 007 "Please Don't make me Cry" Birland Carl Hall "You Don't Know Nothing About Love" Loma Bill Brandon "Rainbow Road" Tower Freddie Hughes "I Just Found Out" Janus Joe Hinton "Don't Tell Her The Truth" ABC Dunhill Tony Owens "Wishing Waiting Hoping" Soulin ...tis so hard picking a most soulful when you're trying to suround yourself with the most soulful music you can find. the true beauty of it all is there is always something new to hear steve

Really classy midtempo soulful sound from this Nashville cowboy? Charlie McCoy "My Baby's Back Again" Think Charlie's first work included playing harmonica on Roy Orbison's "Candy Man"? Often wondered if it is indeed Mr McCoy taking lead vocals here? https://youtu.be/L9AqQb02r7w steve

Darrow Fletcher! the man!! love anything I've heard be him, all superb tracks for me steve

Got this "accidently released" gem of a track on the flip of "My Heart Cries For You" how I wished Musicor had meant to issue it! Would have loved to see the writing credits, it's gotta be Teddy Randazzo hasn't it? steve

think the "Special Rush Reservice" was Columbia's way of re pushing a failed demo with the radio stations kind of second bite at the cherry for a disc that they hoped would do better?? Cracking track that Tymes record btw... how I wish they had put their version of "Way Of The Crowd" (off the same Lp) on the flip... now what a cracking double sider that would have been! imho steve

Always rated this the flip to Junior McCants "The Boy Needs A Girl" pleading lyrics bout his dying girlfriend from the pen of Churles Spurling steve

Top Tune Bull & The Matadors that man Richard Pegue with a great arrangement steve

Today's little Chicago double sider and a real cheapie too! Joe Murphy "It's A Weakness" and his version of "So Blue (Without You)" Both sides co wrote by none other than the Dells Chuck Barksdale along with Wade Flemons and some geezer named Barrett Strong? https://youtu.be/0pyiASWvGVI https://youtu.be/Pa4FDA1zdkQ steve

todays's double sider Don Hart on the Detroit label Cool School with "Keep On Holding On" and the down tempo flip "I Can Make It" "Keep On Holding On" also got released as "Soldier Comin Home" on the same label. https://youtu.be/LDrmLT2LJxk ..just love this side.... https://youtu.be/ZgcC3xzYULQ steve

fav side of this Flip to "Cold Letter" steve

With you all the way on Kelly Bros superb version, my fav by far! perfect crossover tempo too https://youtu.be/OJVbUs3YenI steve

Todays little double sider... Lee Williams and the Cymbals "Lost Love" and the sublime "Peeping Thru The Windows" https://youtu.be/baho6vog9F0 ..really into this side of late https://youtu.be/nwSukxkoPAY steve

Had Fred Hughes "Oo Wee Baby" on VJ tucked away for years Dave! just pulled it out for a listen to tother side... Superb mate! another that must have slipped me by Nice one bud! steve

Love all the Royalettes tracks, esp. the ones with Teddy Randazzo, always thought they were Teddy's girly Little Anthony Underated track this one mate steve

both the Hip 45's are cetainly produced by Herb Sadler steve

always rated it myself too steve

would that be "I'll Be The One" Bob? steve

Pete is that the Timmy & The Empires unissued track off Kents Ben-Lee cd? sure I heard Dave Thorley play an acetate of it on his radio show yesterday? steve

Classy track martyn, and got a great beat ballad on the flip too imo "You Never Should Have Loved Me" amazed at the £75 guide price mind! always thought they were bout £20? steve

ya welcome martyn, nice to return the favour mate steve

always been a fan of Lenny Welch, lovely track, He's also got another great mercury 45 "Wait Awhile Longer" which always seems to slip under the radar? (got a great ballad flip too with "Darling Stay With Me") With credits like Carl Davis, Gerald Sims and Riley Hampton. it has to be ok! will maybe post it up later in week steve
