I know you love the slow jams with falsetto so you would absolutely love the complete side two which consists of "Go On And Cry" (around 8 minutes long), "How Does It Feel" (11 minutes plus...long), and "We Go A Long Way Back" (around 5 minutes long). All three of those slow jams got regular airplay in my area back when they were popular. I already had the 45 of "We Go A Long Way Back" but I had to have the album for the other two great slow jams which I like much better than the title cut.

I had never heard anything from side one. I love the first track which is an uptempo funky track (I can't think of the name of it). Anyway, it was produced by The Isley Brothers. The last track on side one is an uptempo funky jam too which sounds very Isley Brotherish. The two middle tracks on side one made me say...."Next". Anyway, it's a pretty good album.

you rock for that Natalie album
that's probably my fav album of hers
between that one & Thankful
I looooove "Your Eyes" from there love
oh GOD... I used to play that song everyday LOL
when I first found that album
what's your fav Natalie album?

and FOXY.. YES YES YES!!! OMG
we used to have the 45 for "Get Off"
and I could tell it was a favorite
of my mama's or my sister's because by the time
I got a hold of it (in the early 80's)
it had so many crackles & pops & skips
OH MAN... that song takes me back
to my old neighborhood
and my "lunchbox THRILLER MJ record player" cool
how is the rest of the album?

I picked that same BLOODSTONE album up
maybe a month or so ago...
hadn't spun it yet...

great dig!!! cool

The Commodores!
The first concert I EVER saw was the Commodores back in '84....
We were on a marching band trip, and went to Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ after the competition. Our band director let us stay for the concert... headbang
My friend Pam & I had a thing for JD Nichols and made a corny-ass sign that said, "Lionel who?" lol

Ahhh the memories.... cloud9

Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

Pretty good. I love bloodstone's how does it feel. I remember listening
to it on the radio back in high school and it was long but i didn't know
11 minutes long. I got a double live natalie cole album on a vinyl dig 4 years
ago for 50 cent and the album is in mint condition. I have those two commodore
albums. Check out say yeah and i like what you do on natural high. I know i
don't have to tell you anything about the commodores sky blue album but
squeeze the fruit will always be my baby although it's too damn short. mad
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

This is the album I'm looking for!! Can't find it anywhere.Everytime I go on a vinyl dig,I immediately search for this album.It's extremely rare.I got all of their other albums,but this one,which was their third album,is the one I desperately need.How is it? I'm only familiar with the first single "Eyeballin".

I have this album on vinyl too.Contains her big hit "I've Got Love On My Mind",which is my favorite Natalie Cole song.This album was recently placed on a "twofer" CD,where it is paired with her debut album 'Inseparable'.I gotta pick that up.



Gary's Gang - "Keep On Dancin'" 12 Inc



headbang headbang headbang headbang

I have this 12" version on one of my disco compilations.It is HOT!

Without question,this is the Commodores' best album.This album is so good,it's ridiculous.So many amazing songs here! "Brick House","Funny Feeling","Heaven Knows","Zoom" (can you believe that this great song never became a single?!),"Funky Situation".Just when you think the album couldn't get any better,they save the best for last: "Easy".

There's a store near me that has a big back room full off vinyl in crates. I need to take a day and go searching. I haven't done that in a while... U've inspired me! biggrin

Yeah,this thread inspired me to go on a vinyl dig too lol

I'm contemplating myself
on going after work on a dig
funny thing is, I have so many records
from previous digs that I haven't
even touched yet...
there's a certain thrill I get though
from going to "da wrecka stow"

some people like golf
others like the gym
I prefer D.I.T.C (diggin in the crates)
cool

True...
I just bought a stereo that converts vinyl into mp3 format or burns onto CDs. I still have to figure out how to use that thing!

lol


I have my record player
hooked up through my computer
so I capture the audio that way
only problem is, that particular model
I guess it's not really meant
to carry much wattage... but
it only has "highs"... and little bass
so I have to take an extra step
of using the equalizer & shit...
so it's a tedious process
but worth it... cuz other vinyl rips
are either shitty or hard to find

I did a quick dig
@ the flea market
during my lunch break

I'll post what I found when
I get home cool

you MUST hear "Get Off" (the song)
remind me to shoot that to you

I'm sure you've heard it
and maybe didn't know
what it was...

it's on the opening scene
(the 70's bday party)
on the movie Set It Off

I will check into that

but I'm positive it's nothing
I can do manually...
it's just a cheap lil record player
I bought from RITE AID (aka K&B)
for like 40 bucks... I'm thinking
it needs to be hooked up to
a receiver with an equalizer or something

You never heard "Get Off" by Foxy? A massive disco/R&B hit in 1978.

I had a vinyl dig a few weeks ago. I found so many I didn't realize we had such as:

a John Travolta record!!!!
Barbara Streisand (how dare they!!!)
Wham's first album
a Fleetwood Mac record
Ritchie Sisters
Dirty Dancing
Saturday Night Fever
Hot Chocolate

45 singles like:

Don't Leave Me This Way
Love to Love You
something from Barry Manilow

there are certain records I remember listening to as a little kid that I already knew we had such as Like a Virgin, Heaven on Earth, lots of Beatles songs and a few disco singles, I even remember finding a don't stop till you get enough 45 a few years ago dug away and being so happy about that. But I guess I never really thought about what else we have and didn't find them all until now!

Actually, this is the album I was disappointed with. I've only put the needle on each track and listened to a few seconds of each song, but I didn't hear anything on the entire album that caught my attention.

I never heard of Stargard until about a year and a half ago on the "Lunchtime Oldies" and thought it was The Pointer Sisters. I know you've heard Foxy's "Get Off" but probably don't recognize the title.

Most definately. Something that will give it some power and the option to add bass rather than just making a weak generic recording.
