Popular Post pikeys dog Posted July 28, 2012 Popular Post Posted July 28, 2012 Already had a couple of Bobby's mentioned, but I think this is his most under rated 45.... 4
Wilxy Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Ultimations is magic too! Does under rated automatically = cheap? It's almost a case of inverted snobbery at times it seems whereby once the 'rare' tag is attached and/or something is expensive it's automatically deemed by some to be sh*t lol. Anyone with a bit of commitment and one ear has always been able to build a collection of quality original records without going bust haven't they? For me, the thread also underlines that its not necessarily about trying to be 'progressive' all the time either. Looking back pays dividends too I always think A very good point Phil, particularly with reference to "inverted snobbery", and whilst certainly not criticising the rare element with regards to playlists in general, it only goes to prove by virtue of a lot of the 45's featured, that there are many great records that stay under the radar purely because they are deemed "cheap"......Great thread once again I might add Edited July 28, 2012 by wilxy

Quinvy Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 This thread highlights just why most soul nights and allnighters are rubbish. Appart from a couple, these are records that should never be played "out" they're simply not good enough to get people excited, and dancing. That's why they are cheap. 1
boba Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Looking at both threads (underrated and overrated records) and looking at the people who like or hate certain records, I think part of the problem is that people are using two different criteria to judge the records. Obviously this is not an absolute split and the only criteria people are using, but I think some people are judging records as "northern soul" tracks and others are judging records as "soul" tracks. These are obviously two very different things. 1

They are cheap because they are not rare !!! There are plenty of overrated records that are expensive - plenty of records been played on the scene that are simply "not good enough" - that never stopped them from being played !!! 9

You're right to a certain extent Phil.But the remit for this thread is "Underated",in any genre.? These tunes aren't meant to represent a soul night or allnighter are they? Horses for course and all that Phil.

Appart from a couple, these are records that should never be played "out" they're simply not good enough to get people excited, and dancing. That's why they are cheap. Didn't think you went anywhere anymore Phil? The topic isn't about what should or shouldn't be played at a soul night or an all-nighter, just simply under-rated records, for whatever reason. And since when has cheap = crap? Not everyone is driven by rarity and value. Some of the worst records played on this scene are expensive. Pure snobbery from many promoters and DJ's. I can't understand why some feel the need to come on every topic and complain about something that is supposed to be a bit of fun. 5
Reg Scott Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I knew that Miss Madeline was in the Young Folks, but only having her version I didn't realise it was the same recording. ATB Tony Yep same recording but the plus side for the Miss Madeine 45 is the flip "Behave Your self' another nice track.. 2

Quinvy Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Strange that..........I thought the thread was about under rated records from a played out perspective? Hence people saying things like "never hear this played these days" How can a record be "rated" if it isn't played out? On my comment about price, you have misunderstood my point. There are many records out there that are very common, yet have a very high value, why? because they are fantastic and everybody wants to own them. Occasionally, a cheap record gets a few plays and bang, it has a reaction. Said record disappears and the price goes through the roof. It's the same record it always was and is still a common record but everyone is looking for it, so it becomes hard to find. I like a cheap record as much as the next guy, in fact there are a lot of "big money rarities" that I wouldn't give tuppence for. The fact is, there are too many people Dj'ing who don't have any taste, and wouldn't know a dance record if it hit them in the head. And that Chalky is why I don't go out anymore. Try and remember it's supposed to be a DANCE scene. Edited July 29, 2012 by Quinvy 2
Popular Post Pete S Posted July 29, 2012 Popular Post Posted July 29, 2012 Strange that..........I thought the thread was about under rated records from a played out perspective? I didn't think that to be honest, just thought it was about underrated records full stop. Here's a rare one that is totally underrated and absolutely fantastic 4
Chalky Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 There are plenty DJing with taste playing dance music from cheap to expensive but you wouldn't know that not having been out for a long time? You speak as though you know better than anyone else? Too many of late seem to like nothing better than drag a topic down in my PERSONAL opinion. Like I said this topic is a bit of fun and simply about the music so just for once can we leave the the politics about DJ's and promoters with no taste for another topic. 2
Citizen P Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Yep same recording but the plus side for the Miss Madeine 45 is the flip "Behave Your self' another nice track.. Thought I said that T

Guest Matt Male Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Because they're cheap, less people know them as they haven't had the exposure - duh. It was a rhetorical question Pete.

Reg Scott Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Jesse S...Slaughter? Yep Guy at Stafford, Lee Valentine cover up. The Jesse S, to my ears, is just about perfect for the more progressive venues and certainly a 45 favoured in Europe - great tune..
Jumpinjoan Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 One that had bypassed me till about 3 years back & was chuffed to bits to pick a m- promo up for $20 off the net. ..... Thought I read somewhere it was a 'Torch' tune initially? ...... As you say though Joan... Fantastic! I'll take your word for it because despite appearance to the contrary the Torch was waaayyy before my time
