Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 This post should be closed down now.. Its putting Webby out of business I'm sure that the prolific Mr. Webb has a million of 'em in the pipeline,, Stevie. I'd guess you can expect to see "Best Kenny Lynch Lookalike On The Scene" coming up any day now, mate... ...hope all's well in your neck of the woods.

phillyDaveG Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 ...Can't quite agree with you on the "in its entirety" bit, but certainly a classic case of the "two or three great songs" (all of which came out on singles anyway) "and a lot of padding". Not something that can be said about some of the Marvin albums that preceded it. Marvin Gaye was only truly great when he was produced by others - hardly a bad record before 1971, hardly a good one thereafter... Mediocre! Had to laugh. I think you're missing the whole point of the LP. It was never meant to be a mixture of disparate songs, but a collective denunciation of the evils of the world, and as such needs to be listened to as a collection. Saying you can get some of the songs on 45s is like saying you can buy the good scenes of a classic movie on DVD. Apart they are good, brought together, they make a work of genius. I'd also say his follow up LP "Let's get it on" is also superb. So while I agree that he made some great records in the 6ts, his early 7ts output was better IMVHO.

I assure you that I am not missing the point - I've felt like this since I first bought the album on import, the week it came out. "Right On" is an exercise in filling up vinyl, "Flying High In The Friendly Sky" - I don't think so, thanks, "Save The Children" - nice sentiment, dull song. I can see exactly why Berry Gordy refused to release the album at first. "Let's Get It On" offers even more in the way of mediocrity - the a side is a complete waste of vinyl, although the other side offers three of Marvin's best ever songs, of course. Anyway, this is meant to be a thread about "records you don't get". If I "don't get" this one, that's my prerogative. No amount of telling me what I'm missing is going to make me change my mind, if I haven't changed it in the 40 years since I first bought it, is it?

Ian Parker Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) The Snake has to be the biggest load of garbage ever. I've heard worse records. Going back to the thread title -soul records you just dont get (soul being the key word)- - Paul Anka's 'when we get there' is a prime example of an appalling tune, as is Bobby Paris' 'I walked away' .

oldsteve woomble Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm supposed to 'like' 7ts..... But i can't be doing with..... Jan Jones - Independent Woman........ AAAAGHHH - twee twee twee Bessie Banks - Don't You Worry Baby....... (i tried to like it - even bought it twice, but it had to go. And go now - bu-bum) Futures - Party Time Man.........Agony. Leave it out Cyril Agree with Mr H on Tyrone St Germain and a couple of others on his room of doom list..... but Love Stormy Weather?..... Mr H get those lugs washed out!

Sean Hampsey Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Agree with Mr H on Tyrone St Germain and a couple of others on his room of doom list..... but Love Stormy Weather?..... Mr H get those lugs washed out! Think you need to listen again, Steve. Its a massively overrated, pile of poo. I never 'got' what all the fuss and hype was about when it was played, first time out, down at Yarmouth. And I'm sure I never will. There are thousands of better tracks on four quid albums. Yet this tragic example of rarity over quality gets the exposure and exaltation. One of the vocalists is good! The other is piss poor and flat as a Fart. I would have pulled the flat fecker out of the studio and let the guy with the tonsils do it solo! But even then, the song is just as pappy and pissy as they come. It's Loves Stormy Ballocks mate! ...IMO Hope you're both well. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
harpo1 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Rita and the Tiaras, i find it to be totally cringeworthy, yet it continues to be as popular as in the late 70's. Barbara McNeir..Youre gonna etc... i think its tuinal in musical form a dirge...but again its loved by loads Cody Black...i'm afraid title says it all,slow and mouldy, Pep had 'em stuck on the wall as decoration, as they were at the time not sale'able, it aint ever gonna be a 100th as good as "going going gone" Time for me to get going, going gone, but these comments are my personal views so don't get upset if i've dissed your faves, but thats how they sound to me Night Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
harpo1 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Wade Flemons "Janette" yeah, you can dance to it, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere to my ears Spot on mate, i remember when the other place was played, people would come up and say "i found a record by him in a junk shop, took it home on spec, when i played it, it was a shite rock 'n' roll record, fucked it straight in the bin" And thats where it should have stayed Cack of the stickiest form Dean Barlow, remember first hearing it, i am still speechless, pity Dean wasn't Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve G Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Good to see Barbnara McNair being suggested for the dirge that it really is.......never quite got the lyrics either An over-rated piece of Tamla Toytown if ever there was! Love Stormy Weather? Well Mr Hampsey wash your mouth out Sir. Thought this would have been right 'up yer street' especially as it was broken by a young Sir Rodney of Dearglove as I recall. Party Time Man - awful awful awful. Get it off - "Hang the DJ" etc. Judy Street "What" - I know it's pop, but never got why it was so popular - the biggest seller on Grapevine etc. "Band of Gold" Freda Payne - crushingly tiresome - quite happy never to hear this record ever again.

Sean Hampsey Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 And its not in the same league as 'Band Of Gold'. Really interesting thread this. Amazing what some folk just don't 'get'. Rather than a 'slag off' its more about how a record fits with your own expectations - and how you see others waxing lyrical about a tune, but just can't see it yourself. Brilliant Mr Rounce.
