Had to stop the car and rest the camera on a low stone wall when I saw this down in the Cotswolds in August this year. These have been on the camera since then and the first time I've looked at them on the laptop.
I've also farted around with them on Lightroom. No idea what I'm doing though!

After seeing Russell's great water photo it reminded me of one I took of water going over a weir in the Lake District.
I love the monochrome effect.

I agree, although I have seen some records where the apparent "B" side is the one that is issued as a demo. Prime example would be Bettye Swann -"The Boy Next Door" as the demo to "Kiss my love Goodbye" Although a quick Google search shows up both as demos!
But that's Atlantic.
I first heard Ten Percent at the Ritz in Manchester and have always enjoyed his amazing vocals, especially on "Gonna give my love away" and "Pick Me". Even bought the Locker Room album too, which has some great tracks on it.
RIP Jimmy
A side issue, I know, but on the "What's Going On" album pull out sleeve notes, it says that tenor Saxophone is played by George Benson. Is that the well known man, or is there another? I know many musicians can play more than one instrument, but I never had him down as a sax session musician. Maybe because this was before he made it big as a solo artist.
It also credits Bob Babbit as well as James Jamerson as a contributing bass player.

I had a bit of a british release seventies evening after everyone went to bed. But was on the wine by then!

Don't know if this has been covered before, but there must be quite a few artists that sound like other artists.
Just been playing this and thought how at the tme of its release, it reminded me of Curtis Mayfield.
I can think of quite a few other records that have that effect
Like Corey Glover Little Girl sounds like Al Green
Any more?
The writing on the Lovelites always made me think it was done as a last minute thing before being pressed. Come on girls, just stick your names on this label
This wasn't my actual first list, but the only one I have left. Record Corner and Selectadisc were the first I ever remember.
Don't know what the significance was of the underlining, but I do know I missed some bargains.
