Guest Dan Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 or do these two records sound very similar? it's like the vanguards were listening to the stoppers on the car stereo on the way over to the studio
Guest Baz Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 or do these two records sound very similar? it's like the vanguards were listening to the stoppers on the car stereo on the way over to the studio Stoppers is far superiour to Vangaurds
Mandy Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Stoppers is far superiour to Vangaurds Both superb records IMO
Mike Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Both superb records IMO sort of connected but often wondered so thought throw in have heard other versions by roddie joy, jaggerz and think someone else who did orig of come back baby? on orig question similar style but not that similar that would pair them both so maybe just you Dan... or maybe just me....

Guest Richard Bergman Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Vanguards for me , The Stoppers version is not even the best imo, Roddie Joy's is I'm sure Pete S will agree as the record is white and dripping in pop Edited November 8, 2005 by Richard Bergman

Simon T Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 sort of connected but often wondered so thought throw in have heard other versions by roddie joy, jaggerz and think someone else who did orig of come back baby? From the Stoppers label, it was produced by one of the writters and so it might be the original version? Weren't Jublee and Red Bird NY labels whereas the Vanguards I think is is Indiana, so doubt there much of a connection between the groups, unless it was the same Jimmy on both vocals?
Guest Baz Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 That Little Willie G version is shite Took the words out my mouth
Mike Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 That Little Willie G version is shite isnt that one a "recent" version, a cd with stuff like "open the door" etc off toh so maybe not
Mike Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) isnt that one a "recent" version, a cd with stuff like "open the door" etc off toh so maybe not just listened now, sure it is think there a similar 70s retro version of it never be over for me on it as well midnighters lead singer innit?

Mike Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Not asa good as Stoppers/Roddy Joy, but I quite like it................................its ok just my opinion.

Guest Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Have got both the Stoppers and Roddie Joy 45's, but only ever seem to play the Red Bird release, remember Joe Dutton had a Canadian demo of Roddie Joy, wish i had bought that now, great 45'. Brett
Garethx Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 The Stoppers was a big record among LA's "Cholo" community, apparently. Latino kids with long key-chains and low-riding motors. This was a big market for a lot of 'rare' black harmony group records from all eras up until the early 80s, when hip-hop seemed to become their music of choice. So as well as the beach music scene there was also a reasonably large Angeleno fan-base for the kinds of records we were searching for too. On the merits of the two records: give me The Vanguards every time. This sent shivers up my spine when I first heard it. Over-familiarity may have dulled its' edge, but, my god, has there ever been more soulful group-singing on a dancefloor smash? I include the likes of the Dells and Masqueraders in this analysis and await the inevitable flak...
Guest Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 The Stoppers is a nice record but I don't think it is very similar to the Vanguards. The Vanguards is perhaps played out here and there, but whatever the case I think it is easily one of the best records to go big on the soul scene in recent years.
