johnnyhotspur 27th Mar 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumLinda Kendrick - Linda Kendrick (1970) | Combination of MOR pop standards and blue-eyed Soul, the first 2 tracks fit nicely into the latter.
Personally, I'd have used the back cover image for the front.

johnnyhotspur 25th Feb 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumJeannie Brittan - Gentle Explosion (1968) | Not a bad album. A mixture of Folky Pop, MOR and Blue-eyed Soul. 2 Northern dancers are 'If I Could Only See You Once Again' and 'Starting Tomorrow'.

|
johnnyhotspur 14th Dec 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumKing Kong [1970s] - Funky Reggae (1974) | Quite a decent LP really.
Good rhythms which sound like the backing band could be The Cimarons.
|
johnnyhotspur 3rd Dec 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumRay Charles - The Incomparable Ray Charles (1970) | 'I'm Lost Without You' is a great R&B stormer!
|
johnnyhotspur 25th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Motown Chartbusters Vol.6 (1971) | 2 versions of this LP exist. One has an alternate take of The Velvelettes 'These Things (Will Keep Me Loving You)'. Apparently when Motown UK realised, they withdrew all copies and pushed out the one with the standard cut.
|
johnnyhotspur 25th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumUpsetters - Return Of Django (1969) | My copy actually has 'Live Injection' listed where it should be, on the sleeve and on the label.
Must be 2 pressings?
Added scan of my copy side 2.

|
johnnyhotspur 9th Nov 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumDerrick Harriott And The Crystalites - Psychedelic Train (1970) | Just added.
I think all of these tracks were released as 45's on Song Bird during 1970 except 'The Loser' and Walk The Streets' which were on Island a few years earlier.

johnnyhotspur 30th Oct 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumTommy McCook And The Supersonics - Greater Jamaica (1970) | Not sure about the 45 but thanks for pointing out the 'Moon Invader' differences, Stampkool. Also thanks for adding a good load of Trojan albums to this sight, it was lacking a lot!
|
johnnyhotspur 6th Oct 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe T-Bones - No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In) (1966) | 'Hole In The Wall' is a great, atmospheric track that would go down a treat at NS nights here in the UK. As good as George Stone / Packers.
|
johnnyhotspur 28th Sep 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumCilla Black - 'Sher-oo!' (1968) | Cilla does some Northern Soul time with 'Yo Yo'.

|
johnnyhotspur 10th Aug 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Cimarons - Skinheads A Mash Up London Town 1970 (2019) | Trojan should have had this LP in the bag, it's all their output anyway.
|
johnnyhotspur 10th Aug 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumMillie - Time Will Tell (1970) | Sleeve obviously also taking the mickey out of that old saying 'get back on the banana boat'.
|
johnnyhotspur 8th Aug 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Ever-green Blues - 7 Do Eleven (1968) | Great LP!
2 standout tracks for me (as a Northern Soul collector) are the Jackie Wilson dancer 'I Don't Want To Lose You' and 'Because I Love'.
