This is off a UK Doctor Bird 45 and I know I sold it to someone on here and I think I remember who...not saying this is great or anything but that there's a lot of this sort of thing waiting around to be found

Wait a minute though, this isn't Soul, I've listened to many, many things similar at "Blues" clubs in Sheffield for the last 25 years ....it's easy on the ear but i would never wish to play or...buy such things.......Look i'm not having a go here....but this is a Soul Forum....not a Rocksteady/Bluebeat etc site.

Can see where you're coming from with this, quite an 'early soul' beat/ feel to it.. wouldn't play/ want to hear it though, not because of the Jamaican sound but cos it's, erm, dull :thumbsup:

Not bad at all Pete in fact very nice , would probably sound better with a few listens.

By the way I'll put up a soundfile of that Starline 45 I played to you down the phone a couple of weeks ago which you reckoned could be played at a soul night and see what everyone thinks.

I'd play it, no question. :thumbsup:

Put a sound file of Glen Miller up "Where is the love" or Phylis Dixon "Make me yours"....see what happens!? :)

There was a white label Jamaican soul thing about a few years ago, think it was called "More than words can say"?, any ideas Pete?

I'm doing this project where I'm putting every single track I've got on cd, 45 and Lp onto the pc then I'm going to transfer them to dvd and flog them, obviously, but the last one I did (with that last track on) also had the Glen Miller and Phyllis Dillon tracks on so if you really want them putting up, no problem.

Don't know the track you mentioned, sorry

Pretty good if you ask me,your right in a way about it being N/soul, music with no

bounds box`s etc,whoever said northernsoul sould be all about soul.... :thumbsup:

easy on the ear and pleasant enough, but that's as far as I'd go.

Yeah like I said, no claims to greatness, just that if I had a good look I'd probably find a lot of things like that, just found one on Port O'Jam label that sounds a bit like Stand By Me, pretty good, Lloyd Robinson..

The song you mean is on JA Bronco Boris Gardiner - More Than Words Can Say, great tune, a-side is one the best Rock Steady tunes ever, a cover of A Groovy Kind Of Love

I´ll try to put both sides here in this forum the next days

I have no info on it at all - it just turned up on a cd.

I like it.

That didn't come out in the Uk mate - came out twice in Jamaica, on Wirl and also Bra...so that will be very hard to find

Wouldn't have got past Motown's Quality Control dept :lol:

Lacking in something (a 4/4beat?)

Seriously though a good tune.

I've had it for 6-7 years and never knew who it was!, heard rumours that it was covered up on the northern scene a few years ago :lol::lol:

I think its by Arthur Willis & Soulful Dynamite?

Arthur Willis sounds like he might have been a sheet metal worker from Barnsley.

Soulful Dynamics - that was found by a lad in the States and ended up with Barry James who passed it onto Andy Rix

Loved 'More Than Words Can Say'

It has all the ingredients of a N/S tune, but doubt it would ever gain acceptance.

Didn't like the other record.

Just my opinion.

I've played it a few times and told people it was Glen Miller!, mostly positive feedback on it! :lol:

He had another great double sider that came out on UK High Note/ JA Bronco Bobby Sox To Stockings/ Lucky Is The Boy (one Rock Steady, one Soul), nice voice for a keyboard player who hit the UK Charts with Elizabethan Reggae

nice one. Hope it's rare coz I paid bucks for this!

turned up twice on Ebay this year, but like most of the original jamaican vinyl both singles were in terrible condition

PETE,

HAVE YOU HEARD A TRACK OFF LEW KIRTONS " JUST ARRIVED " LP

CALLED " ISLAND GIRL ", RIGHT UP YOUR STREET.IF SOME KIND SOUL COULD

PUT A SOUND BITE UP.

Posted

not a big fan of ska, having grown up in the era when every other dickhead was wearing a pork pie hat and a harrington

but some of this stuff is brilliant

agree with brett, not sure if it's northern soul

i'd love to find a bar where they were playing this sort of stuff, great drinking music IMO

"The Hurting Is Over" - Arthur Willis & his Soulful Dynamics (Mars La Tour)

Probably only two known copies - in the hands of Butch and Andy Rix.

There's another JA white label mid-tempo 45 doing the rounds - "I Love You" by Lloyd Robinson.

Also, is anyone aware of the Warren Schatz original of "Soon Everything Is Gonna Be Alright" (covered by Third Time Around)? A JM list from 1985 claims Schatz's version was only ever issued in Jamaica, on the Wild Flower label. Is that right?

Wonder if thats the one I mentioned above Gene. Actually no, thats rubbish, my one was by Lloyd Richards who is actually 'Richard Ace'.

I've got all Lloyd Robinsons JA releases (discography) in front of me and nothing with that title - I've got an I Need Your Love, thats the nearest I can get.

Yeah thats an excellent track. I also didn't like Groovy...probably because over familiar with the song

No, it wouldn't be "I Need Your Love" Pete - that came out here on Blue Beat in '63. Worth mentioning that "Need Your Love" is actually not a bad calypso/soul cut in itself.

Wonder what the correct title is for this mysterious Lloyd Robinson white label? Had a snippet of it on a sales tape from Johnny Fingers a few years ago, and it's either late 60s, or even crossover to the early 70s.

Any clues? Wonder if it is actually Lloyd Robinson, give that the credits were probably handwritten?

BTW Pete - another mid-tempo JA track comes to mind - "Land of Imagination" by Prince Buster on Blue Beat (the B-side of "The Appeal"). Have you heard it?
