What's the deal with this group? Sylvia Striplin a group member and produced by Royers. Rare too, I've heard. Are there any 12"s?Thanks in advance.

    They have two 12"s that I know of, "Ladies Of The Eighties" and "Turned On To You", both dope. Their LP is tough to find, and very worth it.

    The LP has been re-issued on vinyl and CD. I think the original was on Uno Melodic. OK disco joints, but I would not spend a lot of time trying to track down an OG.

    JP, I am a BIG Roy Ayers fan and enjoy his productions, but I'm just not that crazy about this LP. I'm listening to the Eighties Ladies LP right now. "He is mine forever" is a cool slow joint that has a heavy Roy vibe too it and "Turned on to you " is a dope song with nice horns and percussion. The rest of the LP is pretty standard disco for that era and never really impressed me.

    The track "turned onto you" is sublime.

    On a semi-related note, how can I tell if my Ethel Beatty 12" is a reissue or not? It's on a red label.

    The slow cuts are real dope on there. Could even be called "modern soul". I like the Striplin better as a album though.

    The red label is legit, but as for etching #s I don't know... I'd go with the tried and true, jacket smell, density of marks, overall look/weight of the vinyl... I don't think there's a reissue of it but I might be wrong
  • Secret_ChimpSecret_Chimp 915 Posts
    Hmmm, yeah. I think it must be the real thing. I'm feeling that "I Know You Care".

    Is that Ethel Beatty track It's Your Love?

    OK, I can't seem to find this anywhere after looking. Have you seen it online?

    No doubt.

    Except for "Cash Money" (Roy Ayers).. that one pretty much sucks.

    That's the b-side to the one I have. Dope tune. You can really hear Roy Ayers up in that mug.

    Turned on to you was re-issued last year on Smith & Co, see here:

    ...so if you're not a snob and just want the track on a decent sounding cheap pressing, there you go...

    I have the bootleg. I'll look when I get home and let you know any identifiers.

    How's the sound quality on that particular Charly CD? I've been extremely unimpressed with the horrible sound quality of 99% of their Curtom reissues.

    Yeah, Chan... "He Is Mine Forever" is the only thing I really play on that album. But for me it's worth it just for that (gotta admit I only have the re, though... I'd cop an OG if I caught it fairly cheap, but if it was going for anywhere near three figures I'd have to pass).
