Bitchdj Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 just spinning a few tunes as you do.....i really love the underproduced tracks that sound like they were recorded in someones bedroom..one that stuck out today was.... FABULOUS FOUR - IF I KNEW - SAINTMO...wot a dreadful tinny backing it has but by god do the vocals make up for it ... have you got a fave track that is a tuneless cacaphony until its covered with a fab vocal?? cookie..
Tsu Tomatoes Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Denise LaSalle - Heartbreaker Of The Year. The worst out of tune horn section you'll ever hear, but damn fine vocals

I always remember many years ago buying " Wendal Parker - my love's on ration - Capricorn " which is an instrumental, and a very shakey one at that, very poorly recorded, sounds like it was done in someones potting shed at the bottom of the garden, I still play it at home sometimes to cheer me up.......it's so crap. JM
Guest Richard Bergman Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 The Tornados "Telstar" was produced in Joe Meek's bathroom........

Liamgp Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Percy Sledge's 'When a man loves a woman' has a terrible backing. When Sledge heard it, he insisted it had to be re-recorded - only for the first verson to be released (and become the first 'deep soul' number one record).
Dayo Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Just Ask Me. Lenis Guess (.com) Agree - there's defeinitely something garage like about that one. On the subject of poor recordings, always thought it was a shame that the Fuller Brothers classic didn't have much more punch. Poorly mastered perhaps? Hmmmm..... idea for a thread. I'm off!!!!!
Richard Bayley Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Tomagoes "Really, Really Love You" - doesn't get much more stripped down that that (and all the better for it!)
Paul R Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Leah Dawson "My Mechanical Man" on Magic City. I wonder if that was before or after Choker Campbell was at Motown. Also Lorenzo Manley "Swoop Down On You". I still love both tracks though Paul
Guest ShaneH Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 love its alright - jesse james (i think i have the title/artist right there ) that one always sounds really tinny too. weird production. i also believe a lot of your big 70s fans dislike the 60s stuff because of the production and not neccessarily the song. i have friends on the modern scene who tell me this. Shane

Md Records Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 James Bowens And His Agent With Bill Smiths Hitch Hikers - Baby I Want You - Roosevelt Lee Badly produced, Noisy, raw, messy, but for some reason I love it.
Guest Soulfood33 Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 I always remember many years ago buying " Wendal Parker - my love's on ration - Capricorn " which is an instrumental, and a very shakey one at that, very poorly recorded, sounds like it was done in someones potting shed at the bottom of the garden, I still play it at home sometimes to cheer me up.......it's so crap. JM This was to my knowledge the first time (1977-ish) a Northern Soul collector (can't say who) erased the vocal of a Four Seasons STEREO LP recordings, were put it on cassette tape posted it to Bob Cattaneo and out pops 500 neat looking 45s . That could be the reason it sounds so bad.. but a pair of great instrumentals on a great design label.
Dave Morris Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 How about The Styles - Baby You're Alive on Modern.Backing is all over the place and slightly out of tune in places. Dave.
Chalky Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 i wouldnt consider them to be proper friends. for a start they live in chesterfield and they like y2k or whatever its called nowadays. shane who are they in Chesterfield Shane?
