Popular Post Jhsoulnotts Posted August 2, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Apologies if this has been done before, perhaps its time to recycle? With all this talk of oldies, underrated, overrated etc, thought it might be nice to look at those records that may be overplayed, overrated, used in adverts/films/remixed/remade and the like, but are just so so so so damn good, that you just dont care! Them records that it wouldn't matter if you heard them zillions of times they would still destroy you like the first time! (even if you are a card carrying upfront newies punter or modern room mover or closet funketeer ) Perhaps your little dirty secret? Here's one of mine, I'm way too young to have heard it played out when it was big first time (79?), but it's a stone cold "oldie" Billy Hambric - She Said Goodbye - Drum (them chord changes in the chorus ruin me everytime!)

Amsterdam Russ Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Why 'dirty secret'? I've nothing to hide in my taste of music. I don't need to be clandestine about what I like. And labels like 'over-played' and 'over-rated'are merely subjective statements. One person's 'overplayed' oldie is the Top 10 fave of another. Each to their own. Couldn't answer your question specifically anyway; there are countless oldies that I still never tire of hearing. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest in town Mikey Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hey Dunc. Good to see you on here bud. Mine would be Beverley Anne - You've Got Your Mind - cos its great out loud. April Stevens - Wanting You. Not heard out in about 30 years I reckon. Pleasantly surprised to see it on Manship's auction. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dean Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 There are many records that my mind tells me I appreciate more, for rarity, obscurity, dancefloor memories, personal memories, hairs-on-the-back-of -the-neck soul shiver, but in the spirit of the original post (I hope) the one that I never seem to tire of, no matter when or where, is Laura Lee - To Win Your Heart. I've never thought of it as my favourite and wouldn't claim it is now, as other favourites have come and gone and some I thought I'd never tire of then have, I don't seem to loose any affection for this record. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Parker Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Al Williams - I am nothing .... we hear this everywhere we go (even at Caliente last friday), but everywhere we go it gets bums off seats. it is quite the most simple recording, guitars, rhythm section and vocals to stir your soul. true brilliance put on to vinyl 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Is soul music just about the union of 2 words, or is it about music which touches your soul and can have a deep meaningfull significance to your life. Could it be about a little boy who lost his grandmother just weeks after buying him a record and how that record touches that little boys soul to this day.

Jaco Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Yeah but I'm pretty sure that that's not what this topic is about Tosspot. These posters are saying that there are tracks that they don't tire of hearing which I'm sure doesn't translate to wanting to hear the top 500 every time they go out. For what it's worth mine would be Wally Cox 'This man'. There you go I've said it. I await my punishment like a man. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
