johnnyhotspur 9th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Pyramids [Reggae] - The Pyramids (1968) | Great LP, of course this group became Simaryp and had a hit with 'Skinhead Moonstomp'.
|
johnnyhotspur 9th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumSimaryp - Skinhead Moonstomp (1980) | Re-issue from 1969.
|
johnnyhotspur 7th Jun 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumPrince Buster And The All Stars - I Feel The Spirit (1968) | Track A6 is actually titled 'Time Is Catching Up On You'.

|
johnnyhotspur 6th May 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Swingin' Medallions - Double Shot (Of My Baby´s Love) (1966) | Track B3 'M.T.Y.L.T.T' (More Than Yesterday Little Less Than Today) is a great Northern Soul dancer that echoes the brilliant 'Someday' by The Tempests, another LP only track.
|
johnnyhotspur 1st May 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumChris Farlowe - The Art Of Chris Farlowe (1966) | Track A1 misspelling 'What Became Of The Broken Hearted'.
Writing credits on some spell 'Richard' instead of Richards.
A Great LP with some Northern dancers, especially love the Darrell Banks' track 'Open The Door To Your Heart'. The Stones' 'I'm Free' actually becomes a NS dancer!

|
johnnyhotspur 24th Apr 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumWalter Scott - Great Scott (1967) | Poor Walt, one of Pop's tragedies.
Great album though!
|
johnnyhotspur 1st Apr 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVikki Carr - Vikki! (1968) | 'Everything I Touch Turns To Tears' is a great NS beat ballad ala Barry St.John.
Strangely, this track was left off the UK release. Pity because the UK public would have appreciated that more than our US cousins.
|
johnnyhotspur 30th Mar 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVikki Carr - Vikki! (1968) | 2 tracks that stand out for me are 'So Much In Love With You' and 'A Bit Of Love'. Both are in the Soul/Pop vein. It's a pity they omitted 'Everything I Touch Turns To Tears' from this UK LP, it's featured on the USA equivalent though!

|
johnnyhotspur 19th Jan 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Ventures - $1,000,000.00 Weekend (1967) | I'm presuming that's a transistor radio stuck to her ear, or did we have mobile phones in 1967? ;-)
|
johnnyhotspur 15th Jan 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumCharlie Rich - The Many New Sides Of Charlie Rich (1965) | This LP and this LP both released in the UK on Philips titled 'Fully Realised' as a double album sometime in the 70's.
|
johnnyhotspur 15th Jan 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumCharlie Rich - Arkansas Traveler (1974) | 'What's My Name' a great R&B number!
'Stop Thief' another R&B dancer that would go down well with the NS crowd.
