Timmie Williams - Competition - Mala

Neither would I

Dean Parish has IMO as good a voice of many a black artist. And Elvis come to that Listen to Elvis doing the gospel stuff..Lord You Gave Me A Mountain and tell me there is no soul in that

And Insult To Injury...three of hers mentioned that are better Than It'll Never Be Over For Me and soulful!!! (IMHO)

Timi's What's A Matter Baby is IMHO as soulful as it gets.

Yes Timi's What's A Matter Baby for a start

Talking of naff groups...what about Black Abbotts complete with Russ

I thought it was a relative cheapie Pete. Must say I have seen it for a ton though. BTW who's got the first best taste on Soul Source???

Original stamped matrix number of a-23115-2 AT, boot a-23116 sp scratched in.

LAst cd but not least is the one from P5OULH (Paul Havekin). Again some class stuff to choose form but in the end decided on.... Garnett Mimms - Everytime- UA As you would expect from true soul legend with a voice to die for, truly great singer and such an under-rated one at that!! The Rays & Hal Miller - Love Another Girl - Amy Fantastic male group soul. You can just imagine Hal belting this out on the street corner with the Rays adding the impressive backing. Roy Hamilton - Reach Out For Me - RCA One of the greatest voices EVER!

I knew I wasn't imagining things and that I had been told who this was years ago. Well I was by Andy Rix...John is John Hendley and no one knows who the weirdest were. Also told that according to Joey Jefferson he became mentally ill and was in a psychiatric hospital and Cal Green hadn't seen him since 1968. He is black as well

Saw the Sweethearts at £200 (issue) on his JM site, didn't think it was this much personally. Sam & Dave £20ish?

I've got the Temptations 25th Anniversary LP from '86. On it is a great previously unissued version Truly Yours.

So you have seen four copies over the last couple of years or so??? Judging by the number of copies of various records on e-bay, Bill Bush, JM Matthews, Bobby Kline, Oxford Knights, Hyperions etc, and the often ridiculous prices they are fetching, I would class Paul Thompson as pretty rare and well worth the amounts stated

Paul Thompson, although not ultra rare it is rare and regulary goes for £500 plus both on e-bay and on lists. Regardless of how many copies of the Soundmasters there was and the prices it was fetching it doesn't come up for sale that often now and whn it does it has been selling for around the £600. Both the above prices seem to be pretty steady so it must be what they are worth now.

Guy Hennigan spin at Stafford. Can remember Saus spinning it as I was often DJing same night as him $100 dollars a bargain IMO Always loved the record since first hearing it.

Fully agree about Weller...he's a pop singer who chooses to actually cover a few "soul" records IMO......and badly at that.

I rate it about £200/£250....could be hard to sell thought as not that well known/popular with todays scene. Maybe time for re-activation. Know that canny Scot Hammy has been spinning it though North of the Border but rarely hear it down here.

That's how it should be IMO, That Other Place is rarer IMO as is Two Of A Kind

No cause I've only a few lps and not many of those are Motown

Got to disagree about White Man Can't Sing...anyone who's seen Dean Parrish will disagree with you There's plenty of good blue eyed soul on the scene..Righteous Brothers, Tony Galla, Intentions..... As for intstrumentals...no soul in them IMO

Had a listen to Dan's tonight and so hard to pick three from this, seriously, so many faves and records thyat have been in my collection (s) at one time or another. Kenny Sheppard...bought for £12 in the 80's off Butch. Andrea Henry swapped for Nat. 4 on Boola Boola Wade Flemmons, shites all over Jeanette But as I have to pick three only here they are.... Clyde McPhatter - Lonely People Can Afford To Cry - Amy Now mine was a pink issue and said Can't and not Can. Covered up as Ernie Andrews - Neither Will I at Stafford, this awsesome slice of mid tempo just oozes soul. Harry & Keyavas - If This Is Goodbye - IPG You can plainly hear the vocals of Harry Starr asking what he's gonna do on his own. Mid-tempo perfection, soul and then some IMO. Bobbie Smith - Walk On Into My Heart - American Arts Epitomizes the 80's soul scene. Seems to be getting popular again and who can fault it, sheer class always shines through. Great cd Dan As are all of the others too

Little Bernie And The Cavaliers - Poor Town - Ascot Cheers

I thought I had audio files of the Law-ton disc but appears not. Can anyone oblige with MP3's??? Cheers

and off the same lp "Serve Yourself A Cup Of Happiness"
