Popular Post Goldsoul Posted August 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2014 A Wigan Casino monster back in the day, Sue Lynne's bubbling intro 'Don't Pity Me, Don't Pity Me.... set dance floors alight in the 70's. Recorded in London in 1969 for RCA with 'Yesterday Man' Chris Andrews at the controls, Sue recorded 3 singles for the label. Born Susan Vanner, she left the music business after a short career with RCA. Developing as an actress, Sue starred in several motion pictures including the James Bond epic 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. In fact she is best known as 'the log cabin girl' underneath the loins of Roger Moore. In later life she married the son of Ken Todd, who is best known as the restaurant entrepreneur in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills along with his wife Lisa Vanderpump. So all turned out good for Sue instead of the usual hard luck stories. As with my recent chat to Muriel Day, Soul.....nah.

Pete S Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Manchester's Steve 'Siz' Sale discovered it apparently. Dave Mac claimed that he and Siz both found it on the same day in different parts of Manchester, met up later to see what they'd found and both had the same record! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MBarrett Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 This record has obviously given a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. BUT I sometimes judge records by what I would have thought if I had heard them in the 60s when they were released. This would definitely have been laughed out of the door/frisbied out of the window. Sorry - just MHO. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dave Turner Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Obviously one of those love it or hate records. For me, it's a "Jesus, let's fook off to the Mecca" Edited August 13, 2014 by Dave Turner Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve G Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 No minority, it's a corker of a late 60s Brit pop record, and for that I love it. But I'll throw a beer can at the first DJ that dares to play it at a soul event these days. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

purist Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 In my life I've sold a very small number of records from my collection, certainly a lot less than one percent of all the records I've bought, so I like to think of my boxes as a vinyl black hole ("once it goes in it doesn't come out") but this is one that got away, twice. I had an average copy and let it go twenty plus years back, because I got a unplayed copy. The trouble with having unplayed copies of records is there's a tendancy to not want to play them, so I stupidly let it go thinking I'd get myself an average copy to play. That was maybe ten- fifteen years ago and I still haven't got hold of a play copy. Yes I know I should have kept the unplayed copy until I'd got the next one in my hands, but I used to see it all the time, and considering the flood of boots/reissues I'd have thought a copy would find its way back to me. As I approach 50 years of collecting records I wonder if I'll ever get it right......... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve L Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 We've all got our own personal perspectives on these things, mine's from the point of view of a green 17 year old hearing at Wigan when I first went and for that reason the record will always have special place for me. I still like it and don't see any reason why you can't enjoy this and still be blown away by listening to Butch or Andy Dyson. Soul or not, I don't care 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul or not, I don't care It's a matter of taste (opinion) Steve, there's loads of pop stuff that's been played that I have enjoyed hearing out, especially at Wigan with the atmosphere but this one just grates 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
