Craig Strongman 13 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Chill boys! I tend to dig out cd's that I havent heard in a while, and chnage my mind about my current favourite........nowt wrong with that! So today its Cryin in the night by The Monitors, and im not just digging up obscure no one has heard this before tracks, but, if you havent, have a listen, its PURE Motown!

Charlie 11 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'm chuffed - It's a bonus track on my 'Elgins meet the Monitors' CD. I just played it and you're right - pure motown - so is 'Share a little Love with me' also on the CD - jusy playing it now! It's a lonely Nottstalgia without Pete's Vespa - Come back mate!

Craig Strongman 13 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Just found another Monitors track on tinternet, its called "Since I lost You Girl". Rather good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie 11 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 That's my favourite track by them - and they don't do too badly with 'just a little misunderstanding' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just played "tell me its just a rumour".....not the Isleys version though....The Funk Brothers.or whatever pseudonym they used at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete C 2 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Only seem to have two tracks by the Monitors..I Can't Get Along Without You and Words both on A Cellarful of Motown vol 2 and by the way thanks Craig. pete c...still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie 11 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have all three Cellar Fulls and there is some great stuff on all of them. I also have two called 'Mod fave raves' They both have motor scooters on the front - one is a lambretta, the other is..........A Vespa! A Vespa Sportique in fact! !! Do you have them Pete? They kick off with Barret Strong doing 'Money' The Monitors appear with 'Number one in your heart' and there is also the Contours version of 'Just a litle misunderstanding' Which I had never heard till about '72 when a guy I was sharing a flat with, on Gregory Bolevard, had it in his collection. It became one of my favourites straight away! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Strongman 13 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Obviously being in "The Trade" Ive got all the cd's mentioned here, I have to admit though, I dont think "Cellar 3" is as good as the previous 2, with the exception of The Spinners track. PS, it was a Sportique that I had my accident on back in 66 when I was far too youing to be even riding it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
