Pete S Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 It's known to the police, they are trying to arrest the f*cking singer
Guest Dan Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) cheeky bugger some nice voices on it Edited June 21, 2005 by Dan
Craig W Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Your version is booked at £1200 in The Tim Brown guide. In my opinion nowhere near as good as The Marvellos effort which starts really slow but builds into superb tune. Hope this soundclip works.
Pete S Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 cheeky bugger some nice voices on it link When it started I thought it was a Gerry & The Pacemakers b side...
Dave Moore Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Your version is booked at £1200 in The Tim Brown guide. In my opinion nowhere near as good as The Marvellos effort which starts really slow but builds into superb tune. Hope this soundclip works. link Tim needs to "wash his ears out!" Wouldn't let someone in the house with it never mind let it in mi rekkid boxes!. The Marvellos pisses all over it. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
Guest Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Mick H. played the Vashons at our club in May 2004. It's an OK tune I guess, but not quite good enough IMO. £1200? Many of these guide prices seem based on what the authors at one point or another forked out for the records as unknowns/obscurities, and the listed values do not seem to reflect any real market value based on supply and demand. A copy sold on ebay a couple of weeks ago for a few hundred. The 'northern' side is acceptable but mediocre IMO. I actually much prefer the 50's/early 60's doo wop sounding flip (the top side is very doo wop too of course), musically more enjoyable and with a stronger and much more soulful vocal performance. Bum, bum, bum, bum, deng, deng, dang, dong, doo wop is great, very strong vocals. I am serious.

I'll give you a goldfish and two balloons.
Craig W Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Ill give you a bag of doughnuts and a scan of the Marvellos 45

Soulsmith Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 not a fan of secrets records-wise col! what do you think to it though? link Mixed thoughts on it. Like it in some places but not others. Sounds better after a couple of plays. Col PS well impressed by Craig's avitar though. That if I'm not mistaken is the legendary 'Johnny Seven' A true weapon to behold.
Guest mattmale Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Singer and backing ok, but that guitarist needs shooting.
Craig W Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Col PS well impressed by Craig's avitar though. That if I'm not mistaken is the legendary 'Johnny Seven' A true weapon to behold. link You are right Col. I had one when I was young. Fetching nearly as much as rare soul 45s on Ebay nowadays https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW
Guest Dan Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks all Christian, can't say i like the b side but it takes all sorts i spose Craig, you're having a giraffe, it pisses all over the marvellos (which is very good in places, good in others but dreadful in most) Pete agree the intro is a bit suspect but the harmonies are nice Must say 1200 quid seems a lot though

Guest Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks all Christian, can't say i like the b side but it takes all sorts i spose Please note I do not consider it any kind of northern! The vocals are far superior and it is just better music, the top side is just a standard nothing-special-in-any-way-sort-of-tune, pretty dull even, whereas the flip is at least a bit of fun. I like real doo wop actually, it is very good sometimes, very strong vocals and harmonies, even if it is not what I want to hear when I go out. I think you should sell the record and buy something better.
