Simsy Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 laughs... cool is what it is... Yeah well 'crap' may be a bit harsh for dear Danny, but any record with a £900+ price drop, warrants half a mention on a thread like this - maybe .. 1

Dazdakin Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I still like that Ones mans meat, and all that. Your not on your own, i know a lot of other people that also like it, but it has always gotten on my tits to be honest, but hey ho i actually quite like Joey D, but can't abide Epitome Of Fookin Sound - Where Were You is quality though!! Daz. 1
Guest MrC Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Yeah well 'crap' may be a bit harsh for dear Danny, but any record with a £900+ price drop, warrants half a mention on a thread like this - maybe .. Wasn't the price drop more due to a load turning up though, hence it not being the rarity it was? Still sounds like a grands worth of record to me (am I still allowed to call the one in my box an £800 record?)
paultp Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Yeah well 'crap' may be a bit harsh for dear Danny, but any record with a £900+ price drop, warrants half a mention on a thread like this - maybe .. I was really pleased when loads turned up, I could afford and get a copy. Beautiful tune. I hope loads of copies of every record I want are found 2
Northernjordan Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 whats people opinions on the fife piper? Never heard it played out, so dont know how it goes down. I know it was a classic, im tempted to play it out. But wondered what people thought. 1

Personally - don't like it, don't get it really, but like a lot of these records, it was of it's time so in 1968-70 era it was such a huge record and who am I to argue with our Wheel-going ancestors. 1

Ian Seaman Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Danny Moore kin awful sound !! although i do keep one somewhere but i do like Joey Delorenzo which wasn't a Wigan tune as don't think it was played/found till the mid 80's ?? Ian.

Pete S Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I like it. So do I. Not particularly as a "Northern" record. It's just a great 60's record.
Tezza Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) So do I. Not particularly as a "Northern" record. It's just a great 60's record. Invokes memories and imagery of Ready Steady Go or the such. Can see the Girls in their short Black and White Quarter Dresses and Boots bouncing along to it !! Edited December 7, 2012 by Tezza
Northernjordan Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 weird one that, its was a massive record, But I only heard it played at scooter rallies and the Outrigger in Brum, Its not Crap, but its a pretty boring track.. m I quite like it, but i think its because i quite like a lot of 60's garage and punk. And it does have that vibe. I do sometimes think it drags a bit, i think i will play it, but fade it out early.

The import version is the better version to me, a different singer The vocals on this are believe by Jenny (Janita) Haan but due to legal reasons another lead vocalist was on the UK release
MrsWoodsrules Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I always liked at Babe Ruth at Wigan to be honest, bit wierd or 'progressive' & questionable if its even soulful, in fact, lets be honest, it's not soulful at all, but it was catchy & belting out though muffled speakers to a packed dance floor, then it did the job in 'that' atmosphere at 'that' time. I say the same about a lot about things in life, history, morally or political, it's unfair to retrospectively judge anything with the benefit hindsight with 'todays' standard & apply it backdated. Aid. 1

SOULCENTRAL Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I would have had said The Burning Bush... The first time i heard it, i thought what the hell is this crap? How did this get plays? Yes it does sounds like The Monkeys on some acid filled trip, but it really is an infectious 100mph tune. I actually quite like it the more i listen to it... :ohmy: :ohmy: 1
Guest Matt Male Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 If you haven't heard Interplay for over 30 years, and it comes on, unexpectedly, loud, in a decent room, it brings back those teenage years and that makes it sound great! Wasn't there a big thread on here about this very record some time back? No, I did hear it relatively recently after 30 years and it still sounded crap. Come to think of it, even when I was a teenager I thought it was crap, so it probably doesn't belong on this thread 'Used to be cool, now crap'. One record that was absolutely massive late Wigan was Peggy March - If You Loved Me. Would anyone spin that now? (I still like it btw).
Pete S Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 The import version is the better version to me, a different singer The vocals on this are believe by Jenny (Janita) Haan but due to legal reasons another lead vocalist was on the UK release Don't like that import version, vocals way better on the UK original. Never even heard this import til the early 80's.

Love Elusive, again it's the memories thing. Train back from Wigan singing along to it on a tape player. I'd still dance to this every time.
Northernjordan Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 :ohmy: :ohmy: I may grow to hate it with time... Maybe its a teenage thing?

Andyj Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 With people talking about The Fife Piper, Cochise, Interplay etc just wondered what makes a good instrumental? I mean people slag Interplay but Condition Red is still regarded as cool, and although I quite like that track I've never been a big fan of instrumentals myself.

I mean people slag Interplay but Condition Red is still regarded as cool, and although I quite like that track I've never been a big fan of instrumentals myself. Good question. I generally hate instrumentals as well, for me soul music is all about the vocals as much as anything else, there are a few I like though. My favourite is Little Sonny - Wade in the Water. I think an instrumental needs variety with plenty of changes, not just plod along all the way though. I suppose I like it because Sonny makes his harmonica sing. Edited December 8, 2012 by Matt Male
pikeys dog Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Yer ears must be painted on. Always was and always will be a great record, even if it was only a quid a copy. 3
