Nice post Mr Rez, love reading these record hound tales. Cheers Paul

Yes they do and they dance to it very well too. To see a popcorn crowd getting down on the floor is truely a sight to be seen. Have been lucky enough to experience this a couple of times in Belgium in the last couple of years and have seen live Don Gardner, Baby Washington. and Barbara Lewis to boot. Cheers Paul

Yes and wasn't her live version of "Sweet And Wonderful" with the late great Nathan Heathman singing Glen Jones's part the business during her last tours? Cheers Paul

"Start The Fire" should go down well too Cheers Paco

Not in the US according to her discography in "In The Basement"no 27. I'm sure Simon will let us know if it got a UK release Nice track which I'd completely forgotten about (shame on me) thanks for posting it up Steve Cheers Paul

Sorry Steve can"t do sound clips, but I can tell you its on the "Jean Carn" LP her first Philly album. Cheers Paul

The strange world of Philly soul eh Mr brat? Cheers Paul

Cant get enough Jean Carn tracks if you ask me. How about "Time Waits For No one"? Cheers Paul

Nice one Mr brat!

Wouldn't mind one meself Richard have they got any more> Cheers Paul

You're absolutly right Mr G I apologise unreservedly just dug my copies out and given them another listen. It was the "HUH, HUH" chants that put me off in the first place so just put 'em at the back of the cupboard and didn't give them another thought untill this wonderful thread. Must apologise to KarlM here too, hope I didn"t put you off buying one. If I did and you go back to the store and they're all sold you can have my spare copy free of charge. Sorry guys! Cheers Paul Woosnam

Hi Simon I"ve got another Johnny Williams 45 "Slow Motion" says 1973 on my Dutch (Epic) label. I'm sure I've got a US copy somewhere too. No idea who he is doesn't sound like the "Something Kinda Mellow" (Babylon/Polydor) one to me but I may be wrong. Could be the guy who recorded for Twinight? Cheers Paul

Yes Tone I have The Family on pale blue never seen a multi coloured one either. Prefer the other side myself "Nation Time" written by Gamble/Huff, sonds like an embryonic "We"re on The Right Track" Ultra High Frequency in places to me. Writing credits on that one go to Norman Harris and Allen Felder tho. Talking of instrumentals do you know if "Strange" by Tradewinds (Triumph records) is Philly? Its a Norman Harris arrangement. No address on my copy just says dist by Pip records Cheers Paul

What about all those people dancing to ska ...........with a soul soundtrack? Cheers Paul

Yep nice record TONE I have a pale blue label and a "normal" North Bay label design. Any Ideas? Cheers Paul

Yes Dave love the German promos too. No picture sleeve but I find the labels most attractive. Cheers Paul

Oh Yes! and "The Best Love"
