Haydn Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm afraid I have to disagree with this Daz, it's a bastard to tell if you don't know, one of the ten hardest I have looked at them side by side, the boot is flexible vinyl, bevelled edge and wide run out, these were noted even before I looked at matrix and label.

Benji Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 IMO many mix up proper instrumentals and instrumentals that are just backing tracks of well known Northern Soul records. I really like the proper ones whereas the latter ones don't do it for me most of the time. Don't know if this was already posted but it's one of my top favourite proper instrumentals. They hardly can get better than this one. Chaumonts - Now you've gone. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jordirip Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It's a truism with music that people who dont particularly like music tend to focus more on vocal, particularly lyrical content.

Geeselad Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Hand on heart Geese it sounds bloody awful to me and totally soulless. For me soul comes from the voice, the emotion the pain the love etc etc etc this sounds like a tune that is played along to a silent movie where Charlie chaplain is being chased by the key stone cops which are played by laurel and hardy lol that might make a great video, lol, but bearsy I'm mystified why, for some, soul has to be attatched to the human voice, as plaintive as it can be, certain instruments, strings, horns, guitar, piano can all resonate just as deeply. i just heard Miles Davis, 'summertime' on R2, again if thats not soul oozing from horn, what the hell is it? you'll proper think I've lost the plot now! but just listen to it, and that sound he creates makes me ache in a way that just means soul to me. otis had it, janis had it, Jimmi Hendrix and billy holliday, christ even lou reed had soul. Its not a genre for me its a feeling. and you cant attatch it to a style date or even the human voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh2QN1OoXvg Edited October 29, 2013 by geeselad 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Remember Scrub Board distinctly as one of the first "Northern" records I ever bought! It was on the B side of something, "Zing" maybe? So that was around for maybe a year and then someone found the vocal on the LP and it became so popular that they put it out as a single, and "Scrub Board" was forgotten.

spot Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I know it sounds cheesey now Pete, but back then I thought it was fantastic. Same goes for Susy's Serenade. No one will admit to liking it, but it was massive back in the day. Oh and Bubblegum Breakthrough, Footsee, Brown Sugar etc, etc. Ps. Just remembered one that was huge and I've never heard it since the seventies. Van McCoy- Soul Improvisations pt.1. I used to bloody love that at the Mecca. Hey Phil how are you,good I hope. I'm in total agreement, Instrumentals were massive back in the day, Mike Post - Afternoon, was hugh & rammed the dancefloor. I still love em but it wasn't about being Soulful, it was the dance beat & the handclapping that brought them alive. I understand what Bearsy means, I dislike R&B but there's exceptions to this rule. I still love to hear Mike & Ike - Sax on the trax, Mike Post - Bubblegum & Total Eclipse - 6 O'Clock plus Afternoon still raises the hairs on my neck. I must say that Sam's new "Prove yourself a lady" although not bad isn't a patch on the vocal & sounds great when sang along with your own wording in your head. The problem was that the infamous Simon tried turning everything into an instrumental,as did others & it basically killed it. We all loved & danced to a lot of stuff we're reluctant to admit to nowadays. Spot. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I agree, the instrumental can purvey that special something that sends you rushing to the dance floor just as much as a vocal record can. Butch's Sound of Philadelphia springs to mind.
