Need Help Please


Recommended Posts

Help wanted!

I have just remembered one of the best (in my opinion) Northern tunes ever, and I was wondering how hard it is to get hold of?

Marke (Chris) Jackson - I'll never forget you'

I know it was released on 'Jamie' records, but did it ever get copied or pressed up on any other label?

I can't imagine being able to afford, let alone find an original copy, so a booty will do fine if there were any, and it's one of those that I have never had a copy of in the 30 odd years of collecting

WHAT A STUNNING TRACK :thumbup:

Thank you.

There's a Jamie 2nd issue on Manship's for £20.... but a 1st issue is not much more, or shouldn't be....

Interesting career, Chris Marke Jackson.

He lived in the UK for a while, during the Soul City (label & shop) years and recorded a coupe of things for Dave Godin's ill fated 444 label (you may have seen the recent Manship auction for an unreleased acetate) but after a bust up with one of the Soul City guys he was shown the door.

Having been affected by his 'Northern Soul Scene' success, he returned to the US and went on to have a massive writing hit for the Tymes... with "You Little Trustmaker".

Eh?

I always thought that was Billy Jackson? Of Franky Beverly, Yvonne Baker etc fame. In fact I'm pretty sure it is. You sure that was Chris Jackon Sean?

Both sides are great ! Classic Northern Soul!

Play this regularly at home when the mood takes, brilliant tune this. Deserves to be revived big time, as the tempo and style is just right for today.

The UK Soul City release has a different flip to the US Jamie "Forever Ill Stay With You"

One of the unreleased 444 releases is "Since Theres No Doubt" which has the same backing track as Total Eclipse on Right On " You Took Our Heart..." ..if my fading memory serves me correctly.

I find it hard to understand how anyone who's into Northern, could NOT like this track. I think it is very close to epitome of the Northern Soul sound. I'd love to hear an instumental of it, has the backing been used in anything else?

The best

Easy, some people dom't like squeaky voiced falsetto singers, simple as that!

You love it, that's fine, I can't find anything in that takes it above very average and if I never heard it again it wouldn't upset me.

It's called personal choice and we're all allowed one.
