I flipped this thing over a month or two ago realizing I had never checked it out.."Love Made me Blue"
some things:
Senay "Gerdek Nerde" turkish fuzz bomb lady pop...with a drum break wah wah bukkake flourish at the end
Mutantes "Top Top" fucking goofball tropicalia, killer guitar solo, b-boy drum and bongo breakdown, helium vocals
Ann Robinson "you did it" top shelf sister soul
Alice Clark "You got a Deal" I had only known of her mainstream LP until I heard this 45...raw, hittin sister soul for the dancefloor, great
Hank Ballard "Blackenized/Come on Wit it" both sides of this winner are killer
Dave Pike Set "Soul Eggs/Raga Jeeva Shwara" side one kinda needs to be pitched down, but it is a cool ass sleazy listening vibes and fuzz party, while the flip is another sitar groover a la "Mathar", although you wish you could of snuck in the studio when they were mixing this and turned the reverb off the drums, they get blurry towards the middle of the record
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas "Show Me the Way" HARD ass girl group number, heavy dood
Tony Joe White "Groupy Girl" yes, because of the show here I have been listenin' to the swamp fox a ittle more than usual and this a real tough one of his...firing on all cylinders on this one.
"you went away you made me whole world empty/you took your pretty face from me/you made me feel so good things you do/and all my love im giving up to you/chocolate lady, aw girl, come back to me"
sounds of naptown - love is the answer/sweet music : hot damn! gotta thank yoder for this one. "love..." is a beautiful melodic and hypnotizing ballad. unfortunately for the vocals they are recorded incredibly low but the music is in your face. when those piano keys start getting loved i lose it. "sweet music" is one of the rawest, blaxplo film, speeding car chase, bboy floor rocking, drum exploding, siren sounding funk instrumental. upgrade please?!?!
newcomers - too much going.../whole worlds a picture show : theres nothing overly amazing with this record but i LOVE both sides. makes me feel good... a ballad and a dancer... who can ask for anything more?
apple and the 3 oranges - true love.../down home publicity : in my funk days i loved playing DHP for that country down home funk that they were laying down. however as i moved on from funk to those lovely ballads ive fallen for this double sider once again. i love those tracks where they dont just sang to you... they talk to you first and tell you whats on their mind before breaking it all down. does anyone have a copy NOT stained?
myron cephas - its your life : ill modern soul from alabama. hes got three 45s that i know of. i love them all.
scientists of soul - baby baby i love you/be's that-a-way sometimes : sometimes you need that simple guitar and group harmony to make the sun shine. i really dig the strong lead. the flip is a nice midtempo northern track.
james t horn - glory bound train/your life depend : sick northern soul sounding gospel. god music that will have your finger snapping and toe tapping to the beat. beautiful ballad on the flip. out of buffalo ny.
majestics - key to love : thanks to dante for upping me on this one. put this track on my wedding cd before i even had the vinyl. telling you this is one of the best tracks ive heard in years. the vocals kill me. real mellow at first and then the band comes in with this drummer and guitarist for the hook... and its over for me. wow...
olatunjas spirit movers - my life has been nothing: i had this sitting in a box in my storage a few months back and i brought it home to give it a spin. it really blew me away. piano, electric guitar, male and female vocals, and its about jesus saving a man during open heart surgery. AWESOME! dr jesus yall...
enchanted five - try a little love/have you ever : nice northern dancer with group vocals. "have you ever" is a great soul song. wonderful tune with piano, group harmonies, and a fantastic lead.
metaphors - come on back/you have everything : this is in my top 10 favorite 45s. both sides, vocals and music, are perfect to me. i love the sadness in their harmonies but nod my head to the splash of drums, piano and guitar behind them. its not even sung that great... and i think thats why i love it. its fucking brilliant...
ha. That's actually the song I've been listening to, but could only remember the name of the A-side. Tough, tough ballad.

This is a funk song about Hound of the Baskervilles??
If at all possible, an MP3 would be more than appreciated!!
(obsessive-sherlock-holmes-collectro-family-member-related)
I'll swap you a sweet Ronnie Bird MP3...
Better. It's female-sung, Hammond-drenched cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid."
In German.
I always thought this was a Willie Cobbs original, but I could be mistaken. Also Bo Diddley has a track called "She's Fine, She's Mine" that is nearly the exact same song. Which came out first, I'm not too sure about. My favorite verson may be the female fronted Kim & Grim's.
meat and potato's florida funk. i guess jazzman's doing a re of this soon.
*Continental Express Band - Struggling to the Top / Lady on my Mind (MOONRAKER)
d.c. late funk, fucking awesome and almost totally unknown it seems. the ballad has some ruthless falsetto shit as well. lotusland may reish this.
*TSU Toronado's - Got to get Through to You (ATLANTIC)
the perfect sound i look for, stellar group soul that becomes a dancefloor funk bomb at about +3.
*George Smallwood - Touching is my Thing (Smallwood)
this dude, vocally, could hang with any of the greats. i guess you have to be good to pull off lines like 'i like superstars and sports' and make them sound soulful.
*Keither Florence and Associates - Future / Free
gorgeous modern soul on one side and pharmaceutical instro on the other.
*Grace - Inside Your Dreams (KEF)
mixed group freakbeat dancefloor funk bomb from NYC. anyone else ever seem this one?
*125th St Candy Store - The Tables are Turned (UPTITE)
for the ballad tossers.

45 Favourites I've played out lately:
Wynder K Frog 'Green Door' (Island) Up-tempo hammond cover of the hit Shakin Stevens made popular. This version has few lyrics, but the original is a song about a straight guy trying to get into a lesbian nightclub.
Mighty Joe Drake 'Get Out Of My Life Woman' (Kapp) Uptempo version of... with no break! Great garage/beat-group with screaming vocals.
Julian Covey & The Machine 'Sweet Bacon' (Island) Similar ilk to the above records in sound, amazing electric guitar on this dancer.
The Beuna Vistas 'Here Come Da Judge' (Marquee) Uptempo, mostly intrumental heavy funk cover of this hit... "veeery interesting"
45 Favourites I've been listening to at home:
Jimmy Tate 'Please Come Back' (Mid-Tune) Dante charted this in an early issue of Big Daddy. Glorious horns at the intro, solid bass at a hip-hop tempo, sweet backing vocals... soulful r&b.
Chris Craft & MF Doom 'Hooks Is Extra' (Shaman Work) This is the Spark-the-Sound EP with a Doom production on the flip. Both songs are magic.
