johnnyhotspur 27th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Reggae Jamaica Vol 2 (1973)	I bet you know it Mark, I never heard it before getting this album but the Clarendonians track is a corker.
johnnyhotspur 26th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Phyllis Newman - Phyllis Newman's World Of Music (1969)	'The Party's Over' is a nice Northern Soul dancer.
johnnyhotspur 22nd Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - Anthology (1974)	LP should have a booklet with it.
johnnyhotspur 19th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Reggae Jamaica Vol 2 (1973)	Track B-5 is actually 'The Dynamites - Sweet Mademoiselle'.
johnnyhotspur 12th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Mikey Dread - World War III (1980)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 8th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Prince Far I - Voice Of Thunder (1981)	Just added. RE-track B5. Apart from the 2-Tone stuff coming out during this period, this is the only time I've heard a Reggae artist singing about Skinheads in this time frame!! EDIT: Mikey Dread - Skinhead Skank from 1980.
johnnyhotspur 6th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Ken Boothe - Everything I Own (1974)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 22nd Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Vikki Carr - The Way Of Today! (1966)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 6th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Dennis Brown - Just Dennis (1975)	There is an unreleased version of this LP where Dennis is backed by The Cimarons. All the details here
johnnyhotspur 6th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album Dennis Brown - Just Dennis (1975)	With the Cimarons... [YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 6th Nov 2021		Vinyl Album The Pacesetters - Reggae Meets Pop (1974)	Indeed, Mark. The 45 was backed with 'The Israelites' and credited to 'Pacesetters with Al Barnett'. Nice blog on budget Reggae LP's here.
johnnyhotspur 3rd Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Kiki Dee - Kiki Dee (1974)	Some previously unissued Motown gems on this LP.
johnnyhotspur 3rd Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Collection Of Big Hits Vol. 7 (1969)	Track 1 - Temptations 'I Gotta Find A Way (To Get You Back)' is an alternate version than the one on the 'Cloud Nine' LP. As this is a 'Big Hits' LP, I find it weird that the Temps track was never released as a 45 (either in the US or the UK). Maybe this cut was indeed intended for a 45 at some point?
johnnyhotspur 3rd Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - A Collection Of 16 Original Big Hits Vol. 9 (1968)	Track 1 - 'Loneliness Made Me Realize' is apparently an alternate version than the 45 release.
johnnyhotspur 11th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Sandy Nelson - Boogaloo Beat (1968)	If 'Karate Boogaloo' had been a 45 it would be regarded as a classic on the Northern Soul scene.
johnnyhotspur 11th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Tom Jones - Fever Zone (1968)	What a great selection of tracks. I have this LP filed in with my 'Soul' collection.
johnnyhotspur 1st Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Battle Axe (1995)	The vocal on B4 is Stranger Cole with an update of his 'Rough & Tough' Ska classic.
johnnyhotspur 31st Aug 2021		Vinyl Album The Pigeons - While The World Was Eating Vanilla Fudge (1970)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 31st Aug 2021		Vinyl Album The Pigeons - While The World Was Eating Vanilla Fudge (1970)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 31st Aug 2021		Vinyl Album The Pigeons - While The World Was Eating Vanilla Fudge (1970)	An amalgamation of Rock, Psych and Soul from Vanilla Fudge's previous incarnation. For Northern Soul collectors, listen to their versions of Inez & Charlie Foxx's Midnight Hour influenced 'Upset The People' and The Temptations Motown tune 'Don't Look Back'...blue-eyed soul? Indeed.
johnnyhotspur 16th Aug 2021		Vinyl Album The New Faces - The World Of The New Faces From The Saturday Crowd (1969)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 27th Jul 2021		Vinyl Album The Specials - More Specials (1980)	Great find, MM!! I'm guessing it was a bargain? There's no telling with charity shops nowadays!
johnnyhotspur 8th Jul 2021		Vinyl Album Derrick Harriott - Sings Jamaican Reggae (1969)	Copy just sold for £508 on ebay. Track A1 'Sitting On Top' is actually a version of the Temptations' 'I Gotta Know Now'.
johnnyhotspur 9th Jun 2021		Vinyl Album Timi Yuro - Something Bad On My Mind (1968)	The only way the monumental 'It'll Never Be Over For Me' came out in the States.
johnnyhotspur 24th May 2021		Vinyl Album Bob Marley And The Wailers - Rasta Revolution (1984)	Basically a re-issue of 'Soul Rebels'.
johnnyhotspur 20th May 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jackpot Of Hits (1969)	The track B3 'Hugh Malcolm' is actually omitted from the LP, there are only 5 tracks on side 2.
johnnyhotspur 13th May 2021		Vinyl Album Frankie Valli - Inside You (1975)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 13th May 2021		Vinyl Album Frankie Valli - Inside You (1975)	Also came out in the UK on Mowest 7007. 'The Night' is a slightly different cut on this album than the UK 45.
johnnyhotspur 12th May 2021		Vinyl Album Dave And Ansel Collins - In The Ghetto (1975)	[YouTube Video]
johnnyhotspur 12th May 2021		Vinyl Album Dave And Ansel Collins - In The Ghetto (1975)	Review No less than 6 tracks off this album were released as 45's on Creole's 'Rhino' label during 1972/73 so I can't help thinking that Trojan put together a hotchpotch of 70's tracks as an attempt to cash in on the groups' success. Trojan had already put out the 'Double Barrell' LP so it seems like they scrambled around for other tracks to put on this second album. 'Stone In Love' did make it onto a Trojan 45 (Maxi Trojan TRM-3002). It's still nice to have 'Smooth And Sort' (singular on this LP!) on a Trojan label. One nice surprise was 'Power To The People', another version of Shacatac, which I love, and has a slightly heavier chunkier feel, great! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
