Don't have one Paul, but as a matter of interest, do you prefer Gayle Adams or the Four Tops version? Andy

No paul please tell me your having a laugh mate Best eightys record on the northen side, Terry Callier - Dont wanna see myself
Guest sydney bridge Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 No paul please tell me your having a laugh mate Best eightys record on the northen side, Terry Callier - Dont wanna see myself lovely choice Baz but from Pauls point of view hes obviously never heard soft cell.
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 what Soft Cell's version of Tainted Love or What. Four Tops good but Gayle Adams or Diana Ross and the Supremes do it better then Four Tops in my opinon.
Cover-up Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I can't stand 80s soul, but for me The Staple Singers "Trippin' On Your Love" is one of the best songs ever. Maybe because it sounds 70s...
Garethx Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Trippin on Your Love was recorded in the early 70s but shelved. Stax (through Fantasy) released the entire album with re-recorded 80s backing: hence the synths on Tripping. Would love to hear the original takes, even if no versions exist with any backing. Maybe Ace have these sessions in their possession? Over to Tony Rounce or Ady Croasdell...

Guest Darks Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 The Dells "Your song" was super massive on the Northern scene early 80s. This was before the seperate room Modern thing had started. Great record but not sure if some of the synth bits sound a bit dated. Another monster was Kenny Burke "Let sombody love you" massive for Richard at Clifton Hall, again a one room venue. This still sounds great. Oh and of course Charles Johnson "Never had a love so good" which took ages to become accepted. Was a cheap Soul Bowl new release for a lot of people. Heard this at Soulgate and believe me after 12 pints of Guinness this definately still sounds great. Flip side is also awesome but is deep soul. One that I think was an 80s release but sounded late 60s was Alex Taylor "Slowly turning to love". Anyone remember this? Regards Alan
Robin S Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 " One that I think was an 80s release but sounded late 60s was Alex Taylor "Slowly turning to love". Anyone remember this? Regards Alan Yes a great "throwback" record. Richard's "Johnny Barnes" C/U seem to recall.
Larsc Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 What about this? Can't remember what it sounds like but I love that label design
Ted Massey Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Keni Burke one of the best ten poundersKeni_Burke.mp3
Sunnysoul Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Loads of great 80's , Tommy Tate "What gives You The Right", Sonny Charles "Put It In A Magazine" , Don Thomas "How Can I Help But Love You" etc etc . Didn't we have a big thread on this weeks ago ?
Guest martyn Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Keni Burke one of the best ten pounders Nice one ! Hadn't heard that for years
pikeys dog Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Jan Jones - Independant Woman This must be one of the most popular 80s tracks, and seen the most dancefloor action, over recent years at least.
