Rodders22 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I like a record called HEAVY MUSIC by BOB SEGAR AND THE LAST HEARD. Played it out a few times to a good reception from the crowd, been told it was played at casino early 70s. This raw type of northern soul seems to be in demand to date. Soulies can't believe it when you say Title and Artist. I like it anyway. Any more out there. Rod 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) That was a record I'd heard about in the mid 70's but, exactly as you say, I was put off by the artist and title, turns out it's pretty good. When they did it they were like a Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels blue eyed soul group from Detroit. A bit of "Mony Mony" going on in there as well.

Steve S 60 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Although the song title is innocuous enough, you wouldn't expect much from a group called John and the Weirdest. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

You'd expect it to be typical US garage punk circa 66. Well I would anyway. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Thanks for that Pete, agree with similarity with Mitch Ryder.I read somewhere that in a interview with Bruce Springsteen he had said that Mitch Ryder was his inspiration with the Detroit Garage scene. Going back to off putting title's what about ALL THE DUDES WHERE DANCING BY THE MOB Again ,not a bad record ? It's a 70s thing. Rod Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Peter99 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I thought I'd have a second bite at the question. So, can this record really be described as "raw northern soul"? Not to my ears. It would be stretching it a bit to try and define is as "raw northern" - but soul music. Just saying like but you're pulling my leg. Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Funnily enough, I just mentioned this is another thread, but Lou Pride's "I'm Comun' Home In The Morn'un" totally put me off 'cos it sounded like the sort of title a redneck shitkicker would use, so I abbreviated it to "I'm Coming Home" - James Lewis mainly because the original title was too much of a mouthful.......

purist Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I bought a record from Sousann after the usual "ignore the title" spiel back in the 70's. I knew it wasn't really right for playing but i agreed with him that it has "something". Maybe 20+ years later rummaging through some old boxes I found it out again, covered it up and had decent success with it at Albrighton. The proper name was something like - "They Had A Party At The Watergate" and how corny can you get, it was by "The Revealers". I bet old Dickie Nixon thought it was a peach , ahem, I'll get my coat Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest db121 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I think unusual names for records are great no problem.Mind you when your searching for a track by The Gay Poppers it does attract unwanted attention Heavy Music use to get played at The Wheel with The Human Beinz around 1969/70 and other Mitch Ryder stuff.

Guest sharmo 1 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Peanut duck sounds a bit twatish Hawaii 5 o also , theme from joe 90 although I love the program and theme would put me off these titles would put me off further investigation. Also despite the time of year I'd not like to investigate loneliest Christmas tree, this also sounds judging by the title one of those tracks aimed at the suicide at Christmas type mob.
