Blimey, some of my favourites not doing very well today, Manifesto is a very unusual but ultimately brilliant sound, what a dancer, and the COD's record is just magnificent.

It's crap. All versions are. Except Harold Melvin's.

In my opinion, obviously :D

But you used to like the Jewels Pete..... and as I've pointed out before - that IS crap! (In my opinion of course) :lol:

Agree with many, but several eye openers , lou pride? frankie love man crocker ?MEL BRITT?magnetics? its beyond me.... personal hates include joey lorenzo, the present ,per so nally, any thing levine has touched.true that some stuff is probably only ok due to the memories , for me zola is acase in point. i,m well sick of the majestics too, never understood the appeal of the carstairs neither.

Yep, well remember going to Torch on one occasion, scored some sulphate, first time we'd seen it, couple of wraps, I'll swear they only had two records they played that night....Times a wasting and a tune I can hear in my head even now, but not enough to identify it, might be love you baby or self soul satisfaction.

Bad records, having bought a copy of Wombat, off fleabay, but on spec, not having heard it but seen it mentioned on another site, I'm inclined to agree :-

How did get classed as Northern?, I've relegated to back of record box, waste of greens as far as I'm concerned, anyone after a near mint copy PM me with a reasonable offer.

CHECK OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF DANCE DANCE DANCE, GREAT SOUL

At least he had a go, he documented all of those artists, half of them have died since and if he hadn't done it, there'd be no record that half of them even existed. I don't like a lot of the backing tracks, the drum samples etc but that film gets better every time you watch it, seriously. I watched about 2 hours of it last night so it's still fresh in my mind, and I was one of, if not the, biggest detractor of the film when it came out.

Ian Levine should be knighted for his services to soul music on the basis of this film alone.

Barbara McNair "Your Gonna Love My Baby" & Tobi Legend "Time Will Pass You By"

Altough I like their other stuff the above two tracks are total depressing dross ! :facepalm:

 

Also have to agree with a earlier post about Pookie Hudson, sounds like his pissed.

If your gonna get slaughtered and then try and sing leave it to a professional Like Dean "Little Ole' Wine Drinker" Martin :lol:

Reggie Garner - Hotline

 

 

 

I still get a thrill every time I hear this record, reminds me of saving up my paper round money for weeks to buy my first ever made to order Emidisc - Hot Line with Lou Pride on the other side.  1975, 15 years old with the whole world in front of me...

i think a lots of these dislikes are based on the fact the listener has heard them far too much (understandable to a degree if you've been listening since mid 70's)..but honestly some are not crap as often cited!!..and i think some are jumpin on a bandwagon..it seems Frank Wilson is fave to be maligned..

What - Judy Street. Despite its popularity I consider this to be a totally naff sound. A must have for the all wedding DJ's in the land to compliment their "northern" collection siting nicely alongside Needle in a Haystack and Ghost in my House. I cringe with embarrassment when the 10 minute SOUL slot at family weddings typically throws this crap up and all the pissed up dads get up doing their bit by dancing out of time to what they consider to be classic northern soul. What a load of b*llocks!! And as for being rated no. 37 by Kev Roberts in the definitive Top 500.... Each to his own I guess
