mrs soul Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It was woody,s all time want for years and when he managed to get it some years ago, it made his soul heaven, we both love it, and it gets played out at every opportunity, we all have different tastes on this scene, and it would not do for us all to be like sheep, so no falling out we never thought it would go for as much as it did, however, if a collector bought it, then price don't matter , for as woody always says to me, a record is only worth as much as you are willing to pay for it,and always believe in your records, and I think they are very wise words 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulfuljules Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Are the Southern Artists and Bell pressings equally rare or is one of the two rarer, less common, than the other? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-r Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Are the Southern Artists and Bell pressings equally rare or is one of the two rarer, less common, than the other? I could be proven wrong, but I think there are more copies on Southern Artists flying around, making the Bell press rarer. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I love it to bits. Sounds white and poppy like hell but soooo catchy. One I'm sure I'll never get tired of hearing.

Guest in town Mikey Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Happy memories of getting back to my home town after the Leicester allnighters, sitting at the traffic lights by the post office and singing this to myself while watching a pretty girl working on her market stall.

Gary if anyone has ever championed white Northern sounds it's me, I've got absolutely nothing against blue eyed Northern at all, I love stacks of it, I just think this particular record is f*cking rubbish that's all, black or white never ever enters into it as far as I'm concerned.

Gene-r Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 If truth be told, it's a record I've always loved since first hearing it in 1989 when Gary Spencer played it covered up as "I Love You Just The Same" by Lee Otis Valentine.

Pete S Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Well, never in the history of Soul Source have I been so outvoted on a record - there's only me on the entire site who doesn't like it!

pikeys dog Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 maybe you had to be there . Ah, that old Chestnut. IMO this is one of the worst records ever played under the banner "Northern soul" - another being "Lady In Green"- which is also popular in some circles (but so are Gimp masks). As stated it sounds like a bunch of preppy college boys doing a Glee style lash up of something that was once a Soul record. It's lacking in any musical "bollox". To summarise it's got nothing that appeals to me, and therefore IMO belongs in the shite can. If you "Had to be there" then i'm fcuking glad i wasn't.
