The sun is shining bright through my window, which I've cracked open a bit to let the breeze in. The toddler upstairs is running around while its two moms yell after him in Spanish. I'm reclining in my leather Ikea chair, not planning on getting up for awhile except to switch records.


It's that time of year.

i am LOVING this. Shig, you get the mix in the player and i'll take care of the bourbon sours...we'll watch the sun go down and laugh about days gone by (that we did not share together).

shig,

Try that!!
Its hard for me to appreciate the subtle beauty of this track, cuz I keep wincing when the dudes wander out of key with each other... the tortured vocal is a tad reminiscient of the Mitch Mitchell single though, which is a personal fave...

This thread sent me digging through some 7s I had set aside for myself... and I came upon Jato Vondel - We'll Join Together on Gregory. Fucking killer!

A personal favourite (wish I was at home so I could listen to it right now, actually):

 

[SoulOnIce]

I need that Montclairs LP. The 45's are real favorites.

I'm a junkie for the Paula label, as well.

Yes my favorite album from this group. Their cover of Wiliam Bell's I Forgot to be Your Lover is soooo nice.

Don't know if I'd count this as sweet group soul but nonetheless its a neccasary must in any good soul collection

heres another another album that I think is beautiful

Dude - Mad Lads are sweet soul pioneers!

Although, I don't know that album, so maybe it
gets all funky. "Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Lads" LP is some
sweetness. This cover of Forgot to Be Your Lover
sounds very promising...does it keep the guitar lick intro?

yeah they are sweet soul realness on other LP's/ 45's but this album has that funky/ Norman Whitfield type vibe to it. Not all tracks though but enough for me to warrant giving it that description.

The conver of IFTBYL is almost totally reworked. I'll post it in real headz for you later on

[soulcitizen]

the tracks aren't "covers" at all but merely padro just moaning, smooth-talking, etc. over the original versions.
the clip posted above is just harry ray's "ride your pony girl" with some light padro breaths and weird ly-altered stereo imaging.
a personal mixtape committed to wax if you will.

thanks for your replies that's the question i asked, if anyone knew anything about the record - P

 

[bull_ox]

the VAN DYKES, on Bell/Mala...

I caught a comp LP from the early 80s w/a couple unreleased tracks that was great, may be rare cuz I can't find anything on it...

also:

have the STYLISTICS had a single mention yet??

them, along with the DELFONICS, CHI-LITES, O'JAYS and Harold Melvin/BLUE NOTES are all real popular for a reason...... and SO NECCESSARY.............

 

[Mjukis]

It's the one used by M.O.P (not that this album needs to be verified by samples and shit, but whatever -"Warriors" maybe?). Gone - the promises of yesterday is my shit too. It might be bittersweet group soul more than anything else - someone start a thread.

 

[holmes]

What about The Dells, The Dramatics, Fantastic Four, The Cruisers, Detroit Emeralds, Spinners, The Gliders. Did anyone mention The Intruders? These groups all have some nice smooth 45s.

 

[parsec]

Been listening to the Temprees and the Softones alot lately.
