Soul-slider

Can anyone let me know whether Hank Ballard & The Midnghters 'You're In Good Hands' (a King cut I think)came out as a 45 or is just L.P only? Thanks, John

Hey Simon, can I ask a stupid question? I've loved this sound for years but always been confused by the 2 artists, Frankie Karl & 7th Avenue Aviators...... are they one and the same? Or is it 2 different cuts?

Wow! You'd swear you really WERE in the 60s!!

Impressions ....album only I think 'This Is My Country' (Curtom).

'What's That On Your Finger' - Kenny Carter (Stardust) 'I'm A Lover' - Tommy Hunt (Stardust) 'How Do You Feel Now' - Big Maybelle (Stardust) 3 great tunes!!

Thanks Kev but I reckon other soul-sourcerers beat me to it, they are sold out!! One thing though, I did add your last played clip (Marvin Gaye unreleased) to my playlist...thanks for that!!

You're a star Toad! Ordered my copy!

Want this CD and can buy one for £13.99 (that's HMV prices!!)...just wondered if anybody on here can do one any cheaper? Here's hoping John

Yeah, a bit like 'Motown'...just a label like 'Blue Beat' but everything that sounds like that stuff named as that! What's the forum address mate? I'd like to join, do you know a fanzine from a few years back called 'Time Longer Than Rope'? I used to write that. Used to base it on original ska/reggae releases from 1962-1973(ish). John

The recent L.P threads have had me thinking....maybe fellow soul sourcerers can help me match up some L.P covers/vinyl only? There are a few in my collection that need one or the other to complete, this may help anyone else who needs something from my list too! If you can help (or I can help you) please let me know for the following: This is what I have: L.P Covers Only Northern/Motown (no vinyl) Martha & Vandellas - come and get these memories (USA Gordy) Jr walker & All stars - Roadrunner (UK Tamla Motown) Undisputed Truth - (UK TM 11197) L.P Vinyl Only Northern/Motown (no covers) Martha & Vandellas - Heatwave (US Gordy) J.J Barnes - Sara Smile (contempo UK) Various - The Guys With soul (Wand 1002 UK) Various - collection of 16 big hits volume 4 (Tamla Motown TML 11043) Various - Soul train - Philips 9299332 UK) James Brown - Soul Classics Volume 3 (Polydor UK) Undisputed Truth - Higher than High (Tamla Motown UK) Wilson Pickett - Best Of (Atlantic 8151) Three Caps (Capitols) - Dance The Cool Jerk (Atlantic 587019 UK) L.P Vinyl Only Ska / Reggae (no covers) Various - Pain In My Belly (Blue Beat 804 UK) Laurel Aitken - High Priest Of Reggae (Pama PSP 1012 UK) Hopeton Lewis - Take It Easy (Island ILP 957 UK) Various - Funky Chicken (Trojan TBL 137 UK) Various - Straighten Up Vol 2 (Pama PMP 2007 UK) Jackie Edwards - Premature Golden Sands (Island ILP 960 UK) Various - Ride Me Donkey (Coxsone JA) Byron Lee & Dragonaires - Rock Steady (Soul JA) L.p Covers Only Ska/reggae(no vinyl) Various - Crab Biggest Hits (Pama ECO 2 UK) Hyltonaires - Big Bamboo (Coxsone 8020 UK) Hopefully some of you can help match me (or yourselves) match up. Just let me know and how much you want to sell me the cover / vinyl for ok. TIA John.

Good thing about an L.P guide would be that hopefully it'll highlight the best (Northern/dancers/xover) tracks. I'm an avid L.P collector and have many, many rare items, I would love to help out on info if any enterprising person(s) wishes to proceed with such a book. Done myself nearly 20 volumes of CDs on Northern album only tracks....and ongoing!

Nice one on the Bra listings! Mostly soul sounds by the looks of it, the 001 (Llyod & Glen) is a cracking R&B tune! I see they had some mileage out of WAIAD...it's also released #503!!!!

Well, it's titled as Philip James on the UK Island 45. The Bra numbers tell the story really, #201 Philip James ...#602 Blues Busters. Personally I'd keep the Philip James on Soul.

Garland Green album is absolute tops! Mine was £10 (minter, still in shrink wrap) from Canada via ebay about 2 months ago!!!!

How can you insult JESUS like that?!!

Hey Mark! Can you tell him to contact Martin Jol/ Steve McClaren a.s.a.p

Pmd you regarding The Originals. John

Thanks guys. I thought so to be honest. I'll take them with me anyway just to get shot, they're taking up space...for more Northern 45s!!!

Not really a 12" fan (ooh err) so I'm thinking of taking these to Norwich record shop next week to see what I can get for them. Anyone help me out with what prices I can expect? All UK 12" in their own company/picture sleeves EDDIE HENDERSON - PRANCE ON (CAPITOL) AL HUDSON & PARTNERS - YOU CAN DO IT/ HAPPY FEET (MCA) FANTASTIC FOUR - B.Y.O.F BRING YOUR OWN FUNK (ATLANTIC) JERRY MIDDLETON - HEY GIRL (CREOLE) CRUSADERS - STREET LIFE (MCA) RONNIE JONES - SOUL SISTER (MERCURY) LARRY GRAHAM - SOONER OR LATER (WHITE BLANK LABEL) CURTIS MAYFIELD - NO GOODBYES (CURTOM) MARVIN GAYE - SEXUAL HEALING (CBS) BARBARA PENNINGTON - RUNNING IN ANOTHER DIRECTION (U.A) TIA John

Link not working? Not on my computer anyway..

Heard a few years ago that Diana Ross - 'Chain Reaction' & (can't thing of his name at the moment) 'Never Met a Girl like You Before' were played at Northern nights!

Ken Boothe came out on: UK Island JA Studio One (red logo/lettering for original) JA Bra Absolutely superb Rocksteady tune! All with The Wailers 'I Need You' on the flip.

I'll dig my copy out. I need a pic to use as a CD cover so I'll scan it if it's a good un'. Thanks Dave, great mags by the way!

Original is no longer in my possession....but I can tell you it's NOT on the boot! Yay!! Looks like you deffo have a good un'.
