Posted July 27, 200618 yr 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, 200618 yr by ♫ Soulgirl ♫
July 27, 200618 yr 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, 200618 yr by ♫ Soulgirl ♫
July 27, 200618 yr They'll lynch you for calling it crossover .. That's only allowed to be applied to 70's stuff apparently. Great track btw.
July 27, 200618 yr 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
July 28, 200618 yr 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!

July 28, 200618 yr Karen you can class them anyway you want , for me there TOP .My all time favourite soul group
July 28, 200618 yr 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

July 28, 200618 yr 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
July 28, 200618 yr 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
July 28, 200618 yr 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.

July 28, 200618 yr Quote Karen 101 - Ain't Gonna Give You Up / Am I Losing You Oooh, that might be one for me to source.... only because the Karen label seem to be as cheap as me Edited July 28, 200618 yr by ♫ Soulgirl ♫
July 28, 200618 yr '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.
July 28, 200618 yr 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
July 28, 200618 yr Cheers for that... I have heard it before Was it the same lead singer throughout their career?

July 28, 200618 yr 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.
July 28, 200618 yr 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?

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, 200618 yr by ZTSC
