Guest allnightandy Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) there has to be some skeletons in everyone's closet With the commercialisation attempts over the years especially the era at Wigan It seems politically incorrect for these records to see the light of day now so which records do you not own up to liking ? This i love because it reminds me of when they filmed "This England " yet never seems to get plays anymore I have heard people slag it off so ? SOD E'M And this always reminds me of the Casino but i prefere the vocal version ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP0amTbk3EM Edited December 17, 2011 by allnightandy
Prophonics 2029 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Allways liked this Rain With Charity, reminds me of what I like about Northern from a young age. 1

Guest allnightandy Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Isn't this the same as the guilty secret thread that was running a few weeks back though? Don't know mate i wasn't here I tried to log on a few times over the years but it never let me , every time i tried it would tell me that my Email address was already in use not being the best with puters i would leave and go elsewhere but somehow i managed to get on last week
Ian Parker Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I like Charity Brown, i also like 'The Snake' , i like Frank Wilson, The Casualeers, etc etc. all GREAT records in their own right, mostly over played, but brilliant recordings. Like FW or not, theres no disputing that irresistable intro, then a huge rim shot brings the rhythm section in, superb record!
Guest allnightandy Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Again and Again by Judith Durham. Beautiful string arrangement, great vocal, love it. Man she has a voice ! I really like The carnival is over by the Seekers

Guest Richard Du Shon Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Hello to all out there I'm not embarrassed about my collection at all, probably because I'm so new to this scene & so I know so few records compared to 99.99% of you...but I know what I like & take as I find. I'm 51; when I was a teenager I'd buy LPs & 45s but I didn't know what wasn't supposed to go with what. I remember one day I bought "I can't stand the rain" by Ann Peebles (heard it on the radio, just had to have it) + a Genesis LP in the same shop! I got a funny look from the vendor! I was brought up on rock, got into blues & jazz later but always loved soul + reggae singles too. It's only very recently I've become aware just how many great soul 45s there are out there waiting for me to hear them. In the early 80s I got into some UK 60s group who never made it beyond a few 45s (Eyes, Creation, Action, Wimple Winch etc) & was totally blown away; now hearing Northern Soul stuff is like that x 10000000000000! Sorry to hijack this topic a bit but if anyone wants to get in touch & give us a few tips on great records I'd really appreciate it. Don't do vinyl, though...I know, heresy...sold my vinyl ages ago, no room, no money...anyway, enough from me; love to hear from you! Cheers, Richard, Oxford
Guest MrC Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Goodbye Nothin' To Say - Nosmo King & the Javells And Stop - Bobby Diamond two favorites back in the day!! Bobby Diamond is a great record!
Zed1 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 WAIT A MINUTE - TIM TAM AND THE WOTSITS, LOL!!! Naff...........but brilliant to dance to!!! Nowt' wrong with Tim and his Tampons - wish I still had my old copy..... Lots of 'Dance' tracks from those days are now considered naff by the chin molesters, for Eg the 7 Dwarfs and The Night Watch are often slagged off as white pop music but are IMHO infinitely superior to Benny Troy or Ace fookin Spectrum which get murdered on a weekly basis on the scene. 1

Cheers, Richard, Oxford Hi richard I like you also like many types of music but northern soul is at the center of my universe i used to have a mixed tape in the car where the last movement of Swan lake was followed by Paranoid by Black Sabbeth
