Ann-Margret shakes on this LP cover from Oscar Records (South Korea)! A compilation of American pop and soul hits from the sixties – Wilson Pickett, The Supremes, James Brown, Johnny Rivers, The Animals, etc. Ann-Margret graced many record covers across the globe for three decades. Sexy sells and no one was sexier in her prime.

A beautiful alternate cover from Japan. “Sounds Like The Flirtations” Deram Records (1970) Here’s their greatest hit “Nothing But A Hearthache” A Northern Soul dance club favorite.
Although they never recorded for Motown Records, the Flirtations should have, because they sounded like nothing so much as a more energetic version of the Supremes, and by all rights, this exciting vocal trio should have been continually at the top of the pop charts during the late 1960s and early 1970s. They did have a big hit with 1969’s “Nothing But a Heartache,” a record that has had an enduring shelf life and actually might be better known now in the 21st century than it was 40-some years ago. An American singing trio who relocated to the U.K. in 1967, the Flirtations recorded an album, Sounds Like the Flirtations, and several singles for the Decca imprint Deram Records before leaving for Polydor Records in 1972. This set collects the Deram album and adds in four additional tracks from the same time period to make an ideal introduction to this fun group. Among the gems here are the undeniably classic “Nothing But a Heartache,” the bursting-with-energy “Need Your Loving,” the autobiographical “South Carolina” and the why-wasn’t-this-a-hit “What’s Good About Goodbye My Love,” but everything here falls into the same groove, with upbeat arrangements, spirited singing and insistent, racing and almost unhinged horn arrangements.

Rufus Thomas “Crown Prince of Dance” Stax Records A great double-sided cover of the “prince” in full flight and resting on his deserved throne. From 1974. Enjoy “The Funky Bird” here! (A follow up to “Do the Funky Chicken” from 5 years earlier!) In the lyrics Rufus says “I’m going to jump on him with both feet” – seems apropo of the cover.

We’re looking for a series of French LP compilations of classic Atlantic soul acts doing rock and pop covers. Like Wilson Pickett doing Love is a Beautiful Thing, and a soul/horns version of Sunshine of Your Love, that kind of stuff. The covers were illustrated, no photographs. Can any of our French “cover lovers” help us find any of these? Perhaps even send a photo? Thanks for any info!
