Best Northern Soul Stomper Of 21St Century

[Ady Croasdell]

Putting my knackers on the line here but I think I've just heard the best Northern discovery since Spencer Wiggins 'Let's Talk It Over'. If you've got tickets for the 100 Club this Saturday, you're in for a treat. I've run it by a couple of knowledgeable geezers here at Ace (Tone & Timps) and they concur. 'If I Had My Way' by Melvin Parker. It's going to give the traditional rare 60s soul stomper fraternity a big boost. I'll put 30 secs on the 6TS site next week.

To be fair, its a bit dozy putting this up when nobody can hear it yet. I got a bit carried away, it really is a stunner though.

[Ady Croasdell]

And you'll dig it Sean, Memphis goes to Detroit style.

[Guest MrC]

is that Maceo & the Macks Melvin Parker?

[Soulman]

You're putting more than your knackers on the line.... more like sack and all... and you go under the banner of 6T's....21st Century.... how very dare you.

Joking of course, I'm all for the new stuff as much as the old. You knock em dead Mr Croasdell just make sure its a 45 and not a 33 rpm 12"... just to confuse things bearing in mind your age

It might wake him up in the middle of my set. It's THAT good!

Let me just say, I've heard it . . . . . and it's awesome!!!

Can't / won't say any more than that.

[Ady Croasdell]

There's 30 secs of it on the site now, Melvin Parker 'If I Had My Way'. Also check out Junior Johnson The Centre Of Attraction another stunning new discovery. Ady

[Andreas B]

label scan?

[Ady Croasdell]

It's a master tape Andreas, unissued.

[Pete S]

Just listened to it.

[Ady Croasdell]

Maybe too southern in places for you Pete, what about the Junior Johnson, not your style either?

I like it, it sounded really good, horns blasting everywhere, just not sure if it's the best

Maybe I'm just too jaded now to get excited over records anymore.

Didn't like the Junior Johnson clip though.

[Ady Croasdell]

It hit most parts for me and was different enough from others to make it special, as with all sounds you really need a few full listenings to assess it but I did think it brilliant first play. Junior Johnson is a weird one but has incredible moments in it.

[Guest keithh]

Ady, that is one of the few tracks that make me say 'I NEED that', my sort of uptempo dancer, love the horns. Do you have any details, where and when it was recorded, who wrote and produced it etc. Any plans for putting it on a CD? (Please!!!!!)

[Marc Forrest]

dont like the junior johnson as well although I love southern, I do like the melvin parker though (as much as your great move to include soundclips on the 6s site now ), not saying its the "best" but its a 7 out 10 in my book ;) the demures by the way is very nice.

[Wiggyflat]

Like them both but the Melvin Parker is right up my street.....
