Tony - wasn't this originally a Dean Anderson spin (before Keb)?

He was also playing Shirley Edwards on Shrine around the same time C/U as Rita & Tiaras

Yes, remember Shirley Edwards covered as Rita & Tiaras (in fact I think I still have it on tape somewhere listed as that!

Wasn't Jackson Bros on a Kent compilation LP in the 80s?  That New York one.

Jackson Bros was played at Stafford as a cover-up.

No idea when it was discovered or first played, but

the best new 'northern sound' I've heard so far this decade

is without doubt Locations "Mr.Diamond Man". Very, very

soulful IMO. Not really sure how 'well known' this is among

the average soul fan, but I've heard both Andy Dyson

and Kitch playing it.

Cheers,

Compared to what people paid for MOR rubbish like your avatar J.D.Bryant -

I would say this is a bargain :yes:

When you think some people are prepared to pay £1200 for Timeless legend then £2000 is a snip for Statten!

And, at the time, Joey Delorenzo split the scene right down the middle. Love it or hate it, everyone had an opinion. Which in my book makes it worth at least a mention.

I love it BTW :D

link

You can mention it as many times as you like.

I hate it with a vengence.

Its never getting in

:(

Col.

That book, some sort of horror story?

Patrinell Staten is a weak record IMO, mainly because she 'sings' very poorly, I always very quickly press the skip button when it comes on on CD, it does have some atmospheric qualities when you hear it out loud though. All black people obviously can't sing well, there are countless crap soul records by black artists, indeed I presume that most soul records ever made are bad records, just as most records in all other genres. JD Bryant is bombastic MOR BS IMO, a poor record, like many on Shrine. I like the Locations, a nice lo fi group soul record, but I don't really think of it as northern personally.

I thought smileys were for joking and such? I was not joking, I mean every word of what I wrote. Here is one anyway if it makes you all feel better. :wicked:

Believe me, I have asked myself that question many times. :D Of course most black records ever made are shite, how could they not be? Most records ever made in all genres are shit. The whole idea of rare soul is to look for records which are rare "not only in quantity, but also in quality" as someone put it. I don't mind if a record is common as dirt on the ground, as long as it is "rare in quality". Think about it, just how many of ALL black american soul, R&B, etc. records made between say 1960 and 1980 are REALLY GOOD? 25%? 10%? 5%?Or less? My bet is "less".

I've only ever heard the flip one time on the telephone. Don't

really remember it as a 'deep soul' record though, but it was some

time ago. Would love to hear it again; can anyone supply a RA-sample?

Northern or not - Mr. Diamond Man is a killer soul record IMO.

Records that have such an impact, like them or loath them, at least get people talking about the music.

I can remember the letters pages in Blues and Soul being extended so the Northern Soul fans could fight over Ladies Choice. Should it or shouldnt it be played. Not the best record, but at the time by far the most talked about.

Same with Joey D. Not the best, but it got the dancers dancing, the chin strokers stroking, and the anti white fascists were apoplectic.

It was anoraks at dawn, I'll hold your button badge...the pins can be dangerous.
