Geeselad Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) collected soulful house since 1989, and I bob Sinclair is one of the worst examples I've ever heard.

Popular Post Ian Dewhirst Posted March 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2013 Got played in the modern room on Friday night at Prestatyn and went down a storm, different story when you hear these tracks loud 'n proud whilst being appreciated by an up for it dance floor Damn right it did and everyone, hipsters, modern soulies and old soulers included stampeded to the floor. I was there watching it happen @ Prestatyn 'cos I was curious how the DJ's would get that floor going. When "Tribute" came on I was there tapping my foot and smiling with a general sense of goodwill to all mankind, as was everyone else. It's an infectious, commercial, catchy and happy slab of dance music. It has exactly the same appeal as the Brother's "Are You Ready For This" in being infectious and appealing to a wide audience. A good vibe record which packs the floor and gets a nice equilibrium going with most crowds, whether they know the record or not. "Tribute" was the perfect record for that crowd on a Friday night (along with "The Way You Love Me" - Ron Hall & The Mother Funkas). I honestly don't know how people can slate this record. This track gets the worst press of all time - "too cheesy", "a disgrace", "what The f*ck does that French b*stard know about real soul" etc, etc. But records like this, which people actually want to dance to, are the lifeblood of this scene. If you have 800 people in a packed room on a Friday night, believe me, they're not going to be into the aesthetics of analysing the merits or rarity of a tune. No sirree. Leave that to a Sunday lunchtime or Tuesday evening session with a bunch of old blokes comparing dead wax scribes. On a Friday night of a major weekender, they wanna dance. I actually applaud the DJ who played this last Friday, since most DJ's wouldn't have touched this with a barge pole due to credibility issues (on the basis that there's no point in being uncool by playing a piece of cheese by a French house producer when you can play something 'credible' for the chin-strokers). He made the right decision - the vibe of the whole place was electric and this was the record that lifted everybody. I was kinda surprised that he had the guts to play it and equally surprised with the brilliant reaction. People love this record. Dismiss it at your peril.

Ian D Ian, I still hate it, but you defended it so well you should have gone into law, you been watching suits? For me I think the reason I hate it so much is down to it just being too 'up' and I like things a little on the blue side personally, soul and all other genre's have to by slightly bittersweet to appeal, Thats why I love Ron hall, hell I used to dismiss everything on Motown as just pop. in fairness to the original poster, its a little off putting to a casual user to be so negative about something thats obviously liked by many, so, sorry, but I still makes me cringe.

Jim G Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 In answer to the original post you will have to either; 1. Make your own MP3 from your vinyl copy (real easy), or; 2. Download it form a dodgy source as MP3. (There are one or two of them out there) or; 3. Ask one the kind SS members to rip it for you an email it, or; 4. Rip the MP3 from a You Tube video (real easy) As for the second debate about it's validity to be played out I think that it should be separate topic. I love it (and own the 12 inch copy), and for me it is no different to say Blackpool Mecca playing The Trammps "Disco Inferno", Crown Heights Affair "Galaxy of Love" etc. (which is did) amongst the rare stuff. It is just a record that has found it's place in the weird and wonderful scene we all enjoy. And, it is way better then some other pop stuff that gets played under the label of 'Northern Soul" (e.g. Benny Troy, Rueben Howells, etc.) Just MHO.
