Kick it off with 'You dont mean it' Towanda Barnes.

Can listen to this over and over but could never do it justice on a dancefloor.

One of the best records I ever heard. Reading this put it on the decks and dance in a hectic manner across the room :yes:

Can't really think of a Northern Soul Record that's too fast to dance to. :rolleyes:

ok i've been wracking my brains for ages about who sings this, but it's the fastest thing i've heard but brilliant and practically undancable.. so here are some lyrics if anyone can help me out.

old stafford sound i think, rough tough 60s soul.

title i think is 'not like you boy'? female vocal, very fast, nice female backing as well

starts with 'The way he kisses me, and holds me tight... he tells me in the morning everything's alright... i ask him if he loves me, he says i do.. baby i love you..'

chorus is.. 'but not like you boy..aha yeah..not like you..'

any ideas? i feel a twat not being able to remember it.

I think that one would be:

No Ifs, No Ands, No Buts - Mae Young - Karate

Great tune, and for martial arts fans it looks superb as a white demo.

An excellent fast record (obtained from a very old Soul Bowl soul pack is:

Lee Tillman - She's The One I Love - Whit

I assume everyone has got one of these? Not listed in Manship's guide???

Donnie Burkes "Satisfaction Guaranteed " !!!!!!!!!

And I just love that spoken intro on the record " Ladies and Gentleman...........Donnie Burkes " !!!!!!!!!!

:thumbup

This is one of the records that got me into this wonderful scene, i had it on a tape that was lent to me back in the late 70's, i had to physically tape the cassette by placing another recorder next to the speaker of a mates cassette player (did you understand that!)...Anyway i loved this record to death...i eventually got it on a Pink "demo" from Richard Domark....the flip is actually my favoured side all these years later.

On a side note..i was in Camden many moons ago, and i was in Jazzmans store, when i saw a copy of the Donnie Burks LP...on asking for the LP, "Jazzman"..after looking for an age through about a million LP white paper sleeves behind the desk ..... told me "Sorry but i'm afraid i can't find it" wink.gif

Brett.......

PS..i eventually got the album. thumbsup.gif

Another supersonic one (as well as super-soulful):

Sunlovers - You'll Never Make The Grade - Mutt & Jeff

Anyone manage to dance to this, or even play it to a full (and presumably very hot!!) dancefloor?

:unsure: Gary Rushbrooke and Keb seemed intent on killing dancers even in the early '80s! Can remember these palyed in this order:

1. Vondells - Hey Girl You've Changed

2. Naturals - Don't Just Stand There

3. Gordon Keith - Look Ahead
