Hey cheers man. This is a strange video. It got about 300 views in the first year..& it’s slowly been accruing views ever since! Appreciate my friend! 😊
Thanks Keith. I think Funk is attractive to people who like Rock as it shares some of the same qualities (guitar solos, drum solos) and then people get trapped into just equating soul with funk...when in fact there’s so much more out there, I guess a lot of what I showed is soul/pop. You make a good observation!
Hey cheers! Yeah this video just keeps getting views after 3 years..I’m not sure if someone shared it to a soul page or something? Yeah I think all these records ar great& probably 5/6 of them you can get fairly cheaply. Thank you very much. 😊
Ohio Players was every teenage boys favorite band for cover design. Honey is great. Lover Rollercoaster was huge in the US, such a funky song. Parliament is a favorite group. Also KC and Sunshine Band was huge when I was in college. If you haven’t, check out Betty Davis, down dirty gritty funk. Love funk and soul, so darn good. Steve
I have that Jungle Groove LP. That's a £30 record all day long. That 3 + 3 is one of the best funk albums of the 70s. So, so good. You need more subscribers Harris!
Ha,ha, thanks Alan..yeah appreciate it, yeah I was inspired seeing that Donny Hath..LP you had today (Don’t know why I didn’t pull that one out?) I just potter along on here really...I just figure If someone likes what I show they’ll find me eventually (they never do!)it’s what I’ve done all my life! Thanks for watching Alan.
@@Harrispilton22 When I started, I left comments on about 10-20 videos saying I was new and it would be great if you could check me out. In no time, I had shout outs, subs and became a part of things very quickly. There are so many people nowadays though. It's not easy to grow unless you are a young woman or an audiophile...
Hello - I saw you on Charlotte's live yesterday. I like her channel. My favourite soul singer was the late Bobby Womack. After The Facts & Communication are my favourite albums. You could always count on Bobby to do a quirky cover like California Dreaming or All Along The Watchtower ! He was , The Bravest man.
Yeah I like The Poet by Bobby Womack..Eddie Hazel from Funkadelics version of Californian Dreaming is incredible, if you don’t know it get on TH-cam, Yeah I like CharlotteMy main loves are soul & disco & hip hop so I was interested to see what she got..which was as bad as you’d expect for 20 records for 20 pounds!. The days of the bargain are over! Thanks David.
hey Paul, yeah there still some gold out there. Those Isley records are great 3+3 by them is fantastic. AllnAll by Earth Wnd & Fire is another great cheap one.
@@Harrispilton22 Thanks Harris I have just bought kc and the sunshine band on discogs it was cheap and what a album. I used to think 70s soul and funk was cheesey but I love the instrumentation on it. I have got into lots of new music thanks to you. Keep this channel going I love it 😀
@@PJmusic1981 Hi Paul .Thanks so much, that’s a lovely comment.That’s the only reason I do these videos really, hopefully introduce people to a few records. Yeah I plan to keep going, I get a nice amount of views so that makes it worth it, & it’s good fun!
@@Harrispilton22 yeah I think 35 to 40 minutes is the sweet spot. Another awesome album i forgot to mention is James Brown live at the apollo that's only 36 minutes long.
Hi Ed, yeah those Isley’s albums are great...& Cheap! Go For Your Guns is fantastic too, with ‘Footsteps In The Dark’ surely the mother of all hip hop samples. Thanks Ed.
Hi! Nice to see more funk fans in the VC. Hahah, a KC and the Sunshine tape seems a better match for Luxembourg ;) These are classic albums. So good! If I had to pick one it would be Earth Wind and Fire. Cheers. /Paul
Hey cheers man.Just discovered your channel. Wow you go deep on this stuff! Incredible collection!Just subbed. Just bought ‘Platinum Jazz’ by War & the track ‘War Is Coming’ just blew me away. Thanks for watching!
Your volume is set way too low. I listen to your recommendations and then listen to them on TH-cam or Discogs. I have to keep turning you up to maximum while turning TH-cam and Discogs to low.
Hi Tony. Thanks for the comment 😊 These were early days for the channel. In the last year all my videos have been uploaded in qoudraphonic sound, so hopefully the problem is resolved..on the downside you now will require four speakers to feel the benefit.
Hey cheers Dave, yeah I get that comment a few times. I’ll work on it! I’m doing my first video for ages on Saturday, so I’ll fiddle with the iPad 😆 Cheers for subscribing btw, appreciate it 😊
Nowt wrong with the chillis. Specially the first 2 albums. I totally agree about that sly album, straight banger. The only thing better than a bargain Isley brothers album, is a an Isley brothers album with a poncho outfit on the inner sleeve
28 days (of Hot Pants) later ...and survived the trip?! hahah. Joking aside, James Brown is great obviously. I don't own anything by him but whenever you hear a song from him it's time to groove that's for sure. Sweet Parliament poster. My knowledge about Funk is very limited so thanks for this. Will check some of those records out. That Prince I know and it's a good one! Barry White, I only know him from those overly smoochy ballads (and that one Simpsons episode) and didn't know he'd done 'proper' funk some point. Just shows how less I am schooled in the funk genre. Cheers Harris
Funny thing is mate I can’t remember how it goes now! Pro-tip...don’t ever go to Luxembourg City! We drove through it in 8 minutes! Yeah, Funks a bit like Dub Reggae or jazz..you go into it all enthusiastic...& come out with a lot of terrible records!
Isleys rule. Rose Royce. Cold Blood. Tower of Power. Thier stuff Buck common records. Burn all the way through. Fresh and Riot are twins to me. Can t tell the difference. Both kill.
Yes Rose Royce severely underrated. ‘Love Don’t Live Here’ absolute class. A couple of decent albums too.I just think Frexh is a bit tighter than Riot. Riot is good..but I’ve got to be in the mood for it!
@@Harrispilton22 watched the vid again. You are lucky to get Al Green records in closeout bins. Never have seen em here. Belle is killer. All his stuff rules. But Belle is a little different. Al is consistently great. Even years ago never see his records for cheap. Kinda hard to find for such a popular artist. Great vid
@@greenalishi222 tbh Cut out bins didn’t really exist in the U.K. There was a legendary shop in Soho called Cheapo Cheapo Records which used to get container loads of cut outs shipped from America & sell them cheap. I reckon I bought that from there. I passed over records them (late eighties’ that go for £100 plus now! We never could have foreseen the vinyl upsurge!
Rod Templeton was from cleethorpes, which is possibly worse than grimsby. Paid even less than £5 for 3+3 and yes it is fantastic. Summer Breeze. Listen to the Music . Highly recommended.
Cheers for the correction Mark! .Yeah he wrote ‘Give Me The Night’ & ‘Thriller’ as well as the song ‘Off The Wall’ all of which I love. Great songwriter
I have the Barry White LP from my Dad`s record collection. For me it`s nothing special. I kept the 2 LP greatest hits. It`s much better. I can recommend JB Sex Machine 2LP from 1970. It`s real fun and it has definetly the best versions of Sex Machine and Give it Up (Turn it loose). You can check it out on YT. If you got money, than JB Live at the Olympia 71 3 LP`s (also on YT).
Cheers, yeah I might be being a bit generous to Bazza, as I was weighing it up against the fact it tends to be less than a quid!..but I do really like it. Yeah I’ve heard that Olympia album, it’s brilliant. Thanks.
Sorry my friend. I’m on a shoestring budget here! To be honest you’re not missing much! 😂 I’ll give you a synopsis...I waffle on endlessly about a load of soul records.. very little of what I say is of any value 😂
Great video
Hey cheers man. This is a strange video. It got about 300 views in the first year..& it’s slowly been accruing views ever since! Appreciate my friend! 😊
Awesome video!! Finally someone who doesn’t fall to the funk trap and just show GOOD MUSIC!! Absolutely loved your selections!!

Loved this video. You got so many good albums into 13 mins, now I've got something to look out for.

Definitely love those Parliament albums and that Earth wind & fire all n all classic collection 👍💯🎛️😎🎸🎛️🤘
Ronald you are a man of taste! 😊
@@Harrispilton22 thank you and so are you sir definitely I love your music collection indeed👍🤘🎸

I would have included Betty Davis...haven’t got any vinyl of hers. Funkier than a mosquitoes tweeter!
Yeah and I was one of those teenagers well I should say kid cuz I was a kid when Ohio players came out but I love women even then
I have that Jungle Groove LP. That's a £30 record all day long. That 3 + 3 is one of the best funk albums of the 70s. So, so good. You need more subscribers Harris!

Great classic soul from decades ago.
Hey thanks Tony. Yes you can still pick some seventies Soul up cheap too. What a decade.
@@Harrispilton22 ,I have some

@@toneyisaiah3556 man I love 60/70’s soul. Where are you in the world Toney?
I live in Alton,IL
Sir.
@@toneyisaiah3556 BLimey ,that’s Miles Davis Country!..& you’ve got the Mississippi...I bet it’s lovely Toney
Thanks Harris I wanted to get more into 70s funk and soul I will give these a listen
hey Paul, yeah there still some gold out there. Those Isley records are great 3+3 by them is fantastic. AllnAll by Earth Wnd & Fire is another great cheap one.

@@Harrispilton22 also just got into Ann Peebles she is brilliant if you don't know her. Alot of hip hop groups sampled her.
Great stuff. My favourite Parliament album is the clones of Dr funkenstein. All killer no filler. Short songs and only 9 tracks.
cheers Gary, yeah most of these albums I showed are only 30-35 minutes. Always a good sign imo!
@@Harrispilton22 yeah I think 35 to 40 minutes is the sweet spot. Another awesome album i forgot to mention is James Brown live at the apollo that's only 36 minutes long.
@@garyrobinson8665 yes! I bought James Brown ‘Revolution Of The Mind’ which is Live at the Apollo part 3. Much better than I expected.
Hi Harris, amazing selections there! Am with you on that Prince & his 1st album too (For You). Can’t go wrong with any P Funk or Isleys from the 70’s.
Hi Ed, yeah those Isley’s albums are great...& Cheap! Go For Your Guns is fantastic too, with ‘Footsteps In The Dark’ surely the mother of all hip hop samples. Thanks Ed.
@@Harrispilton22 ice Cube! I only just discovered their 1980 album “Go All The Way” with “Here We Go Again”.. that track is so good.
Sir, Have you heard of the
album Just Outside Of Town
from the group Mandrill?
It's definitely a classic album
by the way.
" Fat City Strut" is a
favorite of mine.
KC and the Sunshine Band kicked ass live. Skin Tight is my favorite Ohio Players album.
Yeah, I would loved to have seen early KC live. All those bands like early Kool & The Gang had absolutely great musicians
I'm loving your videos Harris well done amigo
Cheers John..where are you in the world?
Actually John we’ve chatted before I think? You’re in the UK!

Great choices Harris but the audio was v. quiet and I was at top volume level.

Actually Freakey Styley by the Chillis is a 7/10 album for me..not bad at all. Their version of ‘If You Want Me To Stay’ is great.
