Seven Days Of Loving You Author Article

Not read this before. Good catch. ;-)

Regards,

Dave

Great read, always hated the record, but the story is great

Love the record, another great little story.

Nice catch!

Definitely 'of its time' but I have a real soft spot for "Seven days" - long time ago now but I was so chuffed to get a mint 'real one'!

An interesting read, and I've always loved the tune, definitely a 'guilty secret'.

Nice find, Mike...thanks for sharing

Well, I love the track...catchy lyric, thumping backing track and an accomplished vocal performance to these ears...and I don't feel guilty in the slightest

Loved it from the first time I heard it in the 70's...it has that secret ingredient that makes it Northern Soul

Sold it once, regretted it, replaced it (courtesy of a soul-sourcer) and this copy will remain filed under "P" for years to come

The track is pure pop pap, no soul content at all.

As are many 'northern classics' but didn't we enjoy ourselves to them when we were young? I know I did.

And?

I love the backing arrangement!  The vocals I could do without.

You cheeky monkey young Turner! I sang along to Kelly Garrett today too - the epitome of southern soul! 

I trust you are keeping your chin up mate...

Trying to keep it up mate, the chin I mean 

What do ya mean "Young Turner" ... 8 months older than you, was sucking a tit while you were still a tadpole

As for the Kelly Garrett you're in serious need of therapy  

I really don't remember this as being over poppy, blue eyed yes but still soulful I thought. Probably haven't listened to it without stimulated ears so need to dig out CD and headphones and give it a proper listen.

Definitely an iconic Northern record surely.....

Loved it back then. I always remember it as a late on type of record, when I'd decided to slope off before the end of the night, it'd be johnny vanelli I'd hear on me way out. That's my memory of it, anyway. Heard Gary Spencer play this when he returned to the decks in the late 80s, early 90s. Sounded a bit strange alongside stuff like Howard Guyton, The Hy-Tones and Bobby Sheen... Things had slowed down.

Lovely story and Ady's kind touch with the author great.

He sounds like such a whitey!

Like it though.

I must be beyond therapy, then

Dom DiGimario kindly sent me two photos for the site but I can't see how you add photos!

Ady,

There should be a button stating "attach file"? Bottom left of the screen.

Is Johnny Vanelli  the same guy that recorded an album for "Kent"?

Yes as this is the cover of the LP that Dom sent me. Ady

Thanks, it didn't show first try.

Great track and it's not pop, it's Northern Soul.
