When A Dislike Turns Into A Like

[Anais nin Carms]

Wondered if many of you have ever started out not liking a record and then eventualy liking it ?

I had a problem with Guitar Ray years ago I found the record so depressing I just could not appreciate it at all , kept thinking of someone going down into the cellar and hanging himslef with the laundry .... but I now really like hearing it and watching so many others always singing along to it .

Do you have one that made you turn around so to speak ?

I never ever like the Ojays - ill never forget you, Jock used to play it as near the last record at Allanton nighters...it was a monster tune and filled the floor. It's only the last 2 or 3 years that I've come to appreciate what a fabulous tune it is....I absolutely adore it now. It's only taken 20 years..lol

Both me and Paul (MR. C) absolutely hated Sam Williams - Love slipped thru my fingers when Richard first started playing it in 1977, it wasn't until it came out on Grapevine that I began to appreciate it, it's awesome..

Just love the begining up there with Larry clinton

A bit left field but fits in with the dislikes becoming likes.... and nothing to do with Northern so apologies, but I never liked Elvis until about 8-9 years ago. Now I love his stuff. However, never liked the Beatles... and still don't...and never will. Can't say that there's any particular Northern track that I have so disliked and then changed my mind. After all, I've always disliked Tim, Tam and the Tampons , sorry , Turn-ups and will never like it.

First few times I heard 'Suffering wrath' I didn't really get it - and them WHAM! It hit me !

Same with Rae Flores !

Shameful behaviour I know !

Laine Hill - Time marches on

[Windlesoul]

Ed and Ernie (indication) with its frankly rambling bad melody structure or the Q (splurgy all over the place off the wall instrumental break) etc, maybe something about quirkiness that appeals to me (or just my bad taste!)

Always was a belting record... wish I still had it. Then again, wish I still had half the stuff I've had... but then again, would I use it? NO! Therefore I don't miss it (says he trying to convince himself that he did the best thing at the time)

Nope... still sh*t.... - I don't mind the version without all the girly background singing though.

I did used to 'dislike' (hate is such a harsh word) Dave Mitchell & The Screamers - The Trip, but think it's really jolly good now! Never owned one though... hmmm maybe it should go on my shopping list.

There's a really rare, first label release of this, only ever seen it once, on the "P.S." label, dark blue label.

Every days a school day - I never knew that. Just thought it was the Gold MET (?) release - and the black pressing of course

this was on ebay a while ago, i,m sure i asked on here if it was a boot, also sure it went for a tenner or something similar, played it to a few "jazz types" i work with who wanted to know if the weird banging noises towards the end are a trait of northern soul

I recently heard Trickster play Dooley Silverspoon - Game Players on Banbury Internet Radio and that tune has something about it which I completely missed when it was played on release. It's definately one of those which has improved with age. Bought a copy recently for 99p and was pleased to find that the flip is good too.

I don't know about from a dislike to like but these days I can just about stand listening to Sam Fletcher's I'd Think It Over Twice.
