RogerFoster 13th Apr 2016		The entry for the 2006 UK released Bobby Taylor Anthology CD on The CD Albums World.



Neil Forbes 23rd Mar 2015		Cussincarryinoon02, Cheers! (and also thanks to BandBox244). I managed to record this LP into MP3 format some years ago(timely, as it turned out, because the disc has since been damaged and is now unplayable - awwww!) From those MP3s I burned a CD of the album. My pick of the tracks are "Out In The Country", "My Girl Has Gone" and a longish, somewhat dramatic version of "Eleanor Rigby".



cussincarryinon02 23rd Mar 2015		With a nod to N. Forbes, clearer label scans uploaded (courtesy of BandBox244).



Neil Forbes 26th Jan 2015		After reading that bio on him, I see Bobby Taylor only had the two albums - this solo effort and one with his group, The Vancouvers, nothing else, and the singles? Simply lifts from the albums. Pity. He's a really good R. & B. singer.



Neil Forbes 26th Jan 2015		With two cracks rendering it unplayable, I don't think my copy would even fetch $1.41 Australian!(but I do have it on home-burned CD, so at least, if I want to, I can still listen to it).



Record Collector 26th Jan 2015		The UK issue is worth $141 Used



Neil Forbes 25th Jan 2015		Quite rightly he should be bitter about being denied due credit for discovering The Jackson 5. Bobby Taylor's profile at Motown "wasn't big enough, so it seemed. He was regarded among Motown's "second string" or even "third string" of artists and groups who were signed to either of the company's labels. But that alone is NOT good enough reason to deny the recognition that was due to him for discovering what turned out to be "a major talent" and getting the group signed to Motown. Bobby, even if Motown didn't - and still doesn't - I give you that recognition. Well done!



Neil Forbes 25th Jan 2015		As Maxwell Smart always said: "Missed it by thaaaaat much, Chief!" I'm just now able to get back on the net. My modem was giving me grief. No matter how many times in the past hour and a half I tried to reconnect, it just wouldn't happen - until now, that is. Rather surprised to read Taylor was turned down for the lead vocal with The Temptations(in the linked article) because "he had flat feet"..... really! It ain't the feet that do the singin'!



RogerFoster 25th Jan 2015		Actually Neil, Bobby Taylor was born in North Carolina, although you are correct in stating that he formed his group in Vancouver B.C. ... Allmusic has a biog here. He doesn't ever seem to have got over being replaced in the public eye by Diana Ross as the "person who discovered the Jackson 5" and I've heard recent interviews by him where he is still obviously bitter.



Neil Forbes 25th Jan 2015		The label and rear sleeve of TMS had the title with "Bless'd" rather than "Blessed". Taylor was/is from Canada, as is R. Dean Taylor but the two merely share the same surname. Taylor and his group hailed from Vancouver, British Columbia, the city giving the group its name. Bobby Taylor was actually the one who "discovered" The Jackson 5 but the credit was given to Diana Ross instead, as she had more prominence than Taylor.



RogerFoster 25th Jan 2015		Neil .. Soulfulkindamusic has a discography for Bobby Taylor here. He only had the 2 L.P.s There was a 2CD Bobby Taylor Motown Anthology issued by Universal in The U.K. in 2006 that included both L.P.s in their entirety, plus 22 assorted other tracks, 19 of which were previously unissued. The most "In Demand" track off the "Taylor Made Soul" L.P. in the U.K. would probably be this one, which is very "up" and "bouncy" ....



Neil Forbes 25th Jan 2015		Sorry I forgot to white out(crop) the label images. This record unfortunately has two cracks, rendering it unplayable but I did get to commit it to CD before the damage occurred, so it's not entirely lost. Pick of the tracks for me is A1 - Out In The Country and A4 - My Girl Has Gone. Interesting version of Eleanor Rigby deserves honourable mention.
