Billywhizz Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 i seen 7 dwarfs. stop girl, on a few listed,started at £150, another listed £175, up to £200, to me i cant understand why, that was a record in the olden days that never got played, and tbh with you, i never heard it play at a oldies night, well the ones i go to. Cheers Billy.
Tezza Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Its a very 'in the 60's' type of record but is still played out occasionally. Personally, love it but not everybody's taste.

In all honesty it gets mixed results. I played it a few times at our club and a few of the older brigade get up and shuffle along but not mainstream enough to appeal to the 'Masses'. Gets a round of applause though and others are starting to play it again so perhaps ... Play and be damned mate " I Am The DJ, I Am What I Play" 1
Lambretta Gp 200 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 i finished my set with it at brid national scooter weekend and it packed the floor some guy came up to me after i played it and thank me for playing it, so now i've started playing it in my sets i've seen it for £100 & £150 you can get a boot of it on pat bradys site for £15

Simsy Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Reminds me of being 17. Still quite fond, though not very soul.
Guest smudgesmith Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I was involved in a car crash with the "7 Dwarfs" One came rushing over and said "Im not happy" I replied "well which one are you then" Sorry off topic ,but Im bored!!
Zed1 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Its a very 'in the 60's' type of record but is still played out occasionally. Personally, love it but not everybody's taste. Likewise I think it's a fantastic track but playing it at you're typical handbagger/fancy dress night would result in an empty floor and much scratching of bald heads - however playing it at a rarer night would result in much scratching of chins so it's not often it see's a set of decks... 1
Thecivilservice Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Yep its a Garage punk record like the Human Beinz - I've never understood why the occasional garage record like these two get picked out and played at Soul dos when there are dozens of identical sounding records that Soul DJs would never play???
MrsWoodsrules Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Funny enough, there were there three massive tunes at the very same time. Stop Pretending, Stop (I think Lou Roberts?) & Stop Girl, all got played on the same sets very often. All very big too. Aid. EDIT just remembered Bobby Diamond.

Exactly this! They never played "Stop Girl" on any of the Soul radio stations within earshot of me in Chicago, nor did they play it on Soul stations in L.A. or San Francisco/Oakland. It has a garage band sound. I doubt that ANY Soul DJ in USA would have played it. But then, Margaret Whiting's NS cut had a pop sound, and would never have been played on Soul radio. There's a LOT more to a vocal/instrumental recording than just the beat (which is why there were a LOT of NS "floor fillers" that I don't like in the slightest.

Wiggyflat Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Absolutely massive on the mod scene prior to it succumbing to sike and freakbeat.In 85/86...everyone had copies............bought mine for £5.....just checked and its an original...

Ive only seen one other copy like mine, from a well established dj on the scene but he never played it. Tezza said in his earlier post he played it mixed reaction, i believe they did re-issues late 70's early 80's with a dotted arrow going through it me thinks. Cheers Billy

Pete S Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Regularly played by Russ Winstanley 77/78? Think it was 78...
Peter99 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 It was a big record at the do's I were at back in the day. Not a huge fan mesen. peter
Soul-slider Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 There was a small discussion about the record on Radio 2 several years back when Mark Lamarr was playing some tunes. He described it as "Garage meets Motown". I love it, and I put the flip 'One By One' on a compliation Garage CD.
Patto Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Think it was 78... Yep 1978. I Was 13 and it was a big youth club spin after the older lads brought copies back from Wigan.Remembe then ordering it myself from SOUL STOP mail order along with Bobby Diamond--Stop.Always Loved Stop Girl and chased an original once but prices now are too high for me,plenty better records can be obtained for the money
