https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEOTwvJZ8cc

boxedjoy, Thursday, 16 March 2023 21:38 (one year ago) link

both Lil Louis albums are tragically absent from Spotify (which also means that of all his big (club) hits only “French Kiss” is there).

I will add:

58) Lil Louis & The World • I Called U (But You Weren’t There): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to90wwlr9LY

59) Lil’ Louis & The World • Club Lonely (ft. Joi Cardwell): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqLmmM_sXH8

68. beanie sigel - purple rain ft. bun b


weird, is this because of the dramatics sample or something?

not too strange just bad audio (brimstead), Friday, 17 March 2023 22:32 (one year ago) link

the greatest song ever recorded, “All Night Long” by B.B. Band

Great song, but there's a literally a spotify link in the YouTube video, unless that link doesn't work in the UK:
https://open.spotify.com/album/18aIJdcujTg1dZVbbAfbst

MarkoP, Monday, 20 March 2023 13:20 (one year ago) link

Oh wow! Didn't see that. For a long time it wasn't on Spotify, I guess they finally figured out their shit. Thanks!

Tracer Hand, Monday, 20 March 2023 13:34 (one year ago) link

xps to brimstead, i assume so, haven’t read anything about it

beautiful tune, it's on spotify here
https://open.spotify.com/track/228f8Tz9O03JDw5swOEZLN?si=c02551e4a3dc44c6

this was a great idea for a thread

corrs unplugged, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 08:21 (one year ago) link

^ alas, not in the US! Wonder what's up with the licensing.

Terrycoth Baphomet (bendy), Tuesday, 21 March 2023 10:52 (one year ago) link

I think glenn's explained it elsewhere but it always baffles me that you'll often see albums where just one of the tracks is greyed out because of some sort of licensing issue

groovypanda, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 10:55 (one year ago) link

69. the folk implosion - natural one

Not on Spotify but also kind of on Spotify, at least on this strange covers album where I guess the idea was to try and sound as identical to the originals as possible (with the emphasis on try)

https://open.spotify.com/album/3bT7oB4a1R9ZYqHQjXmWAb?si=H67EB5OHSRKzenhZv0e9gw

nashwan, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 11:24 (one year ago) link

Vernon's Wonderland not on there but Wonderer is which is just a re-titled identical version (I think)

groovypanda, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 11:29 (one year ago) link

oh thanks I never knew, seems like Wonderer was the original title in fact..and there's even a vocal mix (not sure I wanna hear that tbh)

nashwan, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 12:17 (one year ago) link

It's on volume 1 of the Orb's remix comps

Vol. 2 rather - the only playable thing on that being the Art Of Noise remix

nashwan, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 12:24 (one year ago) link

Oh god yes that was a big thing back then wasn't it, where some great early 90s trance track would get a re-release six months to a year later but this times with (usually female) vocals on: Children, Eugina, Offshore, Groovejet etc etc xp

groovypanda, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 13:23 (one year ago) link
