I'm sorry, I don't get it.

Just thought it was a more positive thread than looking for the worst of records. Wasting my time again I suppose.

Perhaps you should have put a time stamp on it

last 6mths or last 12mths for instance, even some of the latest discoveries get up your nose if you hear them too often.

[Guest veep1296]

Three to start:

Ace Spectrum - Don't Send Nobody Else (Never tire of it ..one of THE best ever records from the 70s in my humble opinion.)

Pat & The Blenders - Just Because (Never tire of this ...just that little bit different..)

David

[Ian Parker]

Run for cover - The Dells

[Guest]

Anne Sexton - You've been on too long

[Wiggyflat]

What Kind Of Lady-Dee Dee Sharp when they should be playing The Producers

It Really Hurts Me Girl-Carstairs when they should be playing the instrumental

Im Comin Home in The Mornin-Lou Pride when they should be playing the Southwind Symphony

The Snake-Al Wilson when they should be playing Kevin King Lear or even better Harvey Fuqua

Ace Spectrum-Dont Send Nobody (when they should be playing Holdin On)

The idea was to list records that are considered played out that are actually really, really good. Not to list records that you're sick of hearing.

Why am i bothering to explain FFS

Two more;

Ruby Andrews - Just Loving You - Beautiful tune!

Bottom & Company - Gonna Find a True Love - great tune but reached a stupid price for some reason, a 25 quidder all day long.

Attention span is the issue you're raising here.

[Guest WPaulVanDyk]

Moses Smith - The Girl Accross the Street. - i wouldn't ever get tired of it.

Jimmy Ruffin - He Who Picks a Roses another song i think is really good yet played out a lot

I've never seen Bottom & co on a list, or in a box, for £25.00 in the near 20 years that people have been playing it out as a 'modern' record. And I've seen a lot of boxes and lists during those years.

But you're right, it's a great tune. And I honestly don't think it's 'overplayed' it the way that some of the selections in this thread are.

We should definitely add Corey Blake to the list IMO...

They're all good aren't they, otherwise they would never have been popular and hammered relentlessly in the first place. I even include stuff like Wade In The Water and Beggin' in that category even though I'm sick of hearing them.

i think it depends where you go surely? i have heard the Mello Souls more than those listed here (no not tired of it).

and some people want to hear the same stuff - i was in a 'rare' room at a niter recently went downstairs to the 'big' room where 'Jeanette' was just finishing and loads of people clapped - it that sort of encouragment that needs stamping out!!

I agree on Ruby Andrews - a great soul record that for me i NEVER EVER want to hear again; the NS scene has 'killed' it.

Have to agree on Ruby Andrews great record, just don't want to hear it for a long time, same can be said about "Run For Cover" how can you not like a Dells Track, but it's time RFC was put away for a fair few years.
