johnnyhotspur 15th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Brenda Holloway - Hurtin' And Cryin' (1965)	WOW! If only...
johnnyhotspur 14th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Costello And The Attractions - Get Happy! (1980)	Break-In Master: If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's actually part of the sleeve design. Obviously omitted from the US release.
johnnyhotspur 11th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Leon Haywood - The Mellow Mellow (1967)	Track A4 'Baby Reconsider' is a different take than the released 45
johnnyhotspur 7th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Marv Johnson - I'll Pick A Rose For My Rose (1969)	No USA release for this album. Wonder why??
johnnyhotspur 5th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album The San Remo Strings - Swing (1972)	Comments/review on the back cover attribute the release of this LP (in the UK) to the 'Northern' crowd.
johnnyhotspur 30th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album The Monkees - Instant Replay (1969)	Cheers for that, just looked it up. A different take on it than the Monkees version but yeah, great stuff! You can't go wrong with Goffin & King.
johnnyhotspur 30th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album The Monkees - Instant Replay (1969)	If someone ever asked me "did the Monkees ever do any Northern Soul?" I'd have to say I doubt it, however track A3 comes pretty close.
johnnyhotspur 30th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Parade Of Pops Volume 12 (1979)	Saw it in a charity shop (where else!). Had to get it out of curiosity for the 'Gangsters' track. Rhythm is quite good, vocals are a bit of a let down, would help if the singer knew the actual lyrics! Starts off with someone indistinguishable but it's not "Bernie Rhodes knows don't argue", there's a couple of other mistakes but they just about pull it through.
johnnyhotspur 30th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 8 (1969)	3 not bad efforts for Skinhead Reggae lovers. 'Wonderful World, Beautiful People', 'Return Of D'Jango' and 'The Liquidator'. Not bad versions, I particularly like 'Return Of D'Jango' on this one.
johnnyhotspur 26th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs - The Best Of Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs (1967)	Track A6 is a version of Jay & Techniques' 'Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie' but I couldn't say who recorded it first?
johnnyhotspur 9th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album The Maytals - Monkey Man (1970)	Just added. Track A1 'Peeping Tom' differs from the 45 released on Summit
johnnyhotspur 9th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album B. J. Thomas - Tomorrow Never Comes (1966)	Just added. Track B2 is a Northern Soul dancer that differs from the released 45's on Scepter and Pacemaker. This album version has added horns and girlie backing.
johnnyhotspur 9th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Chuck Jackson - Goin' Back To Chuck Jackson (1969)	As suggested in the notes, the track listing on the back cover is out of sync. However, the UK issue has all the right bits in all the right places. Just added the UK Stereo copy.
johnnyhotspur 6th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Marvin Gaye And Tammi Terrell - Easy (1970)	I once had a home made tape cassette of rare and unissued Motown stuff with the track 'This Poor Heart Of Mine' titled as 'Situation Desperate'.
johnnyhotspur 6th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Frankie Valli - Inside You (1975)	This album's version of 'The Night' slightly differs from the UK 45 and from the 'Chameleon' LP.
johnnyhotspur 26th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 45 (1975)	[YouTube Video]

johnnyhotspur 24th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Duke Reid's Golden Hits (1969)	Mine too. It's not surprising really because they messed up on the 45 as well!
johnnyhotspur 24th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album The American Revolution - The American Revolution (1968)	Lydia Marcelle recorded 'Come On And Get It' a year earlier and that's a NS dancer.
johnnyhotspur 24th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album Gail Wynters - A Girl For All Seasons (1966)	There are some great Northern Soul tracks on this album.
johnnyhotspur 15th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album San Remo Golden Strings - Hungry For Love (1967)	Previously issued on 'Ric-Tic'.
johnnyhotspur 23rd Jan 2022		Vinyl Album The Big Town Boys - The Big Town Boys (1966)	The tracks 'Eternally' and 'The One For Me' were also both recorded by The Charmaines. You can hear the whole album here.

johnnyhotspur 30th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Jimmy Ruffin - I've Passed This Way Before (1974)	Worth buying. 9 previously unreleased tracks.
