wasnt this a played record in the early 70,s, and isnt it russ and his mates, came out on uk i seem to remember

absolutely right played at blackpool mecca, covered up as eddie foster i think and i also think it came out on the obscure evolution record label which also issued the fashions "i o u" and a track by otis redding but cant remember the title of that one....and i'll be entirely honest,....i cant recall ever hearing the record but always remember the B & S adverts carrying this track. wouldnt know its value and certainly as its not been played for literally 20 years or more in any djs set.

Is this it? I can't believe The Black Abbots got played !!!

Everyone should be ashamed :lol:

Edit: I notice Mike Hughes name is on the credits whistling.gif

That's not it Paul, Lord knows what that one is, but "The Painter" is more uptempo than that and although I personally can't stand it, you'd never know who it was in a month of sundays and it's much better than the one on that video.

Black Abbots "The Painter" was deffo played out. I certainly remember it around 1974ish and have a feeling I had it at one time blush.gif

Brady has one on at £75 and there's a circa 1 min sound clip if anyone wants to take a listen

Seeing the label now I remember I did have one, got it off the market I reckon.

I'll let this go for the right price... yes.gif

It's always disappointed me that this was not a cover of Joy Division's "Atmosphere"...

...or vice versa.

Sorry Rob , but I cannot remember it being played at The Torch ...... but I did tend to be " distracted " now and then whistling.gif

Damn you Rounce , I now have a mental picure of Russ Abbott mincing about and singing the JD song , which will no doubt stay with me for most of the day laugh.gif

Not saying that's a good price Pete, just saying that's what Brady has it listed for.

If Patrick can get £75 for it , good luck to him . Personally I would not give 75P ......

Is it classed as Club Soul or Northern Dave ?

I'm a great fan of "Burnley Is Babylon" by Russ Abbot (as Wilf Bumworthy), it's a next cut to Marcia Griffiths' rocksteady classic "Feel Like Jumping" believe it or not...

So the lister of the acetate in my original post is absolutely correct and I was laughing for no good reason blush.gif

I listened to the sound clip on PB's site and it doesn't sound like Russ and his mates, but if it was a UK release I doubt they would have chosen/been able to use the same name as a well known band.

Maybe it was one of the other band members doing the vocals as they probably started out as a serious band and then realised they could make more money clowning about. So I'm sticking with my story that Russ Abbot got plays.

Edit: I've just checked wikipedia and evidently Russ Abbot formed the Black Abbots in 1977 so it probably was a different band if "The Painter" got plays in 1974. (Why am i researching The Black Abbots FFS!) Gutted!

That all said it is still a sh*te tune!

.... and this is a souless thread which is probably teetering on the brink of freebasing :lol:

We had better be wary for slagging off " The Painter " , as it may be the Bees Bollocks / Dog's Knees to someone .....

This is now becoming an obsession! blink.gif

I've just listened to both tracks (the vid I posted and PB's sound clip) and the lead singers sound the same.

Should I edit wikipedia?

:lol:

Edit: Here's a [link to a biography of The Black Abbots] which states they started in 1969 and were initially a serious band.

So, one and the same band - I rest my case

Less of that Burton. These things can get out of control and as soon as we know it every crap record will be called a Northern Dave. :ohmy:

I'll never be able to go out again unless I change my name to Marmaduke or summat

Best,

Dave (for now) :smile:
