Guest Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) Probably one of my favourite tracks has to be I Just Can't Help Myself... Would you say this was a typical crossover from the rocking, steel guitar sound late 50's early 60's to the soul sound later on? And from their almost acopela track Spell On Me....Volumes___I_Just_Can_t_Help_Myself.mp3Volumes___You_Put_a_Spell_on_Me.mp3 Edited July 27, 2006 by ♫ Soulgirl ♫
Guest Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) To the really Northern I've Never Been So In Love Weren't they a versatile band Any advances?The_Volumes___I_ve_Never_Been_So_In_Love.mp3 Edited July 27, 2006 by ♫ Soulgirl ♫
Simsy Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 They'll lynch you for calling it crossover .. That's only allowed to be applied to 70's stuff apparently. Great track btw.
Guest Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Bollox 50's rockin' cross over stuff really turns me on actually
Guest Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 So is this REAL cross over? My Kind Of Girl Volumes___My_Kind_Of_Girl.mp3
Guest Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 The first ever track I ever ever heard though was from that film, The Wanderers! I give you... I Love You. 1962!The_Volumes___I_Love_You___1962.mp3
Tabs Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Sorry Karen but I just seem to knock what you have been posting lately. It's not personal - honest! I Just Can't Help Myself is the best of a bad bunch. The rest can stay where they belong, in obscurity. No soul, passion or feel good factor IMHO. Is this typical crossover - No way!

Wilxy Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Take no notice Karen The Volumes are/were a boss group! Absolutely Del Tee. Tabs is avin a larf My kind of girl is Top Tune, good taste Karen
Mak Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Karen you can class them anyway you want , for me there TOP .My all time favourite soul group
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Anyone who says that the Volumes have "no soul or passion" obviously hasn't heard "One Way Lover", "The Troubles I've Seen" and especially "Ain't That Lovin' You".... TONE

Always been a massive fan of 'I Just Cant Help Myself' and had a copy since late 70's when it was played at the Casino. The flip is of cousre a decent tune too 'One Way Lover' Grant

Dave Rimmer Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 That's interesting info Dave, thanks for that. Originally known as the Valumes or is it a mis-spell? As far as I'm aware, it was a mis-spelt label.
Guest Simon Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I'll back you as well karen, all the tunes i've heard by them are superb 'Ain't gonna give you up' is prob my fave but have given 'My kind of girl' & 'My road is the right road' plenty of turntable action in the past. Simon
Guest Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Cheers for that Dave. As far as records are concerned I usually know if I'm going to like it by the intro... the I Just Can't Help Myself launches into that steel guitar rift and my ears pricked right up Tabs.. I hadn't realised you had knocked what I've posted recently
Guest Johnny Mack Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 If memory serves me right "I love you" saw a release on UK Fontana. If anyone is interested, I do have the Jay Gee distributed release on Chex, "I got love" on Twirl and "Gotta give her love" on American Arts in a sales box somehere - package deal of 75 quid the lot, plus post - if anyone is interested pm me.

Harrogatesoul Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 'Same Old Feeling ' best by an absolute country mile for me. First heard it on a tape from John Powney - and I've loved it ever since. Ricc

Ricc I'm with you on that one Ricc, flip is pretty good to 'The Trouble I've Seen, brilliant double header, oh and Karen one of my favorite groups mate....lol Mark Bicknell.
Tomangoes Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I just cant help myself. I bought a copy for a couple of quid from soulbowl, probably 1979/80. They also knocked out stuff like Joe Murphy - Its a weakness, at give away prices. The truth is it was too soulfull to take off, and was a bit part record. It was up against real beauts like 5 and a penny - you dont know where your interest lies and theme from colourman - Teddy Vann. Im not knocking it, as I was guilty as charged for joining the herd onto the dancefloor, but it was a time when 'soul' was not as big a priority as 'dance'. Ed
Guest Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I don't think I've heard Same Old Feeling... anyone got a soundfile?
Guest Northern Nige Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Go check out www.soulclub.org Enter search for the volumes, hey presto
Guest Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Cheers for that... I have heard it before Was it the same lead singer throughout their career?
Guest ZTSC Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Take no notice Karen The Volumes are/were a boss group! No they were a Karen group (well only once)
bri pinch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 sometimes i don,t think it was even the same group. i always thought the mob who recorded the garu outing, was a different set of fellas altogether........ anybody ellaborate. best bri.
Guest Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 That's interesting Andy - does that mean in that situation one person owned the rights to the name Volumes and could have anyone sing in his group?
Guest ZTSC Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) sometimes i don,t think it was even the same group. i always thought the mob who recorded the garu outing, was a different set of fellas altogether........ anybody ellaborate. Always a debate about this one. I've seen it on Karen 1551 with " Am I losing You" on the flip. I have spoken to several Detroit collectors including Tont Coleby and none of them reckon it is a Karen listing. The Volumes Chex outings are produced by Tony Ewing and Popcorn Wylie . After Chex folded Tony recorded with The Four Voices known for the brilliant "Love is Getting Stronger" Kev J Edited July 29, 2006 by ZTSC
