    That album is sooooo damn good. So glad I picked it up. To be honest, I'm pretty surprised I didn't read about it here first.

    I read about it on a few blogs in early Dec but didn't get a chance to listen until now and I'm totally

    so good...

    O, you definitely seem to be a sucker for this kind of sound. First thing I thought of when I heard it was Bobby Reed "Time is right for Love", which you've of course championed a lot. Of course the Bobby Reed is much more polished in the recording, but still... this has a similar tone, with the treble clef piano chords & harmonizing vibraphone and the really heavy downbeat. are those guitar chords hitting on the downbeat in the Little Ann track?

    ...2:10-2:30 just kills

    Ha, well, I was born in Michigan so maybe it's in the soil there.

    Word, I just realized that as well.

    BTW: I never check my twitter feed. I just have it hooked into facebook so that I can update both at the same time.

    The whole album is great, and the vinyl sounds really good.

    Very latte pass really. Little Ann was found by 2 English guys from the northern soul scene Tats and Gilly about 10 years ago working in a motor factory in Detroit after they flew over to meet Dave Hamilton. Ady Croasdell at Kent then released many of the tracks on the album on 45/CD and flew Ann over to perform at Cleethorpes weekender, she was great, and very little, and very friendly and couldn't believe it was all happening. Sadly she passed away before this album was released, i'm sure she'd have been overjoyed to see it happen.

    Is it me, or is this record mastered kind of poorly? My copy is really noisy/poppy.

    sounds extremely similar to the backing track of another Dave Hamilton production that actually was released:

    JT Rhythm - All I Want is You - Palmer

    also - a vocal of 'Sweep It Out in the Shed' was released by Tobi Lark on Topper

    Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

    Yeah, I was reading some of the background on her and so...NONE of her material was ever originally released before those Kent comps?

    Also same backing as unreleased track by O.C. Tolbert - "You Got Me Turned Around," which is available on Dave Hamilton's Detroit Dancers Vol. 2 compact disc.

    It's because of the original recordings were like that. Anybody who has heard other TCB releases such as the Barrino Brothers 45, can hear that Hamilton wasn't running the best in recording gear at that time. I actually haven't heard the vinyl yet, but it can't sound much worse than the tracks KENT sent us in the first place.

    Speaking of Little Ann, can somebody please tell me where this track comes from? It sounds like an alternate take of "One Way Street" but I don't know what it's from. Comp perhaps? It's probably something obvious like the b-side of the Ric Tic single.



    Help me please

    I actually didn't have any issues with the sound quality on the Timmion LP. I don't remember hearing any pops.
