Ady Potts Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 It's one of those records that you listen to at home & it sounds a bit of a mess, but when you hear it out in a big hall on a good sound system it sounds the bollox. I love it. 3
Harrythedog Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I used to have this, and got it off Shifty for £750.00, and it really is a hard record to find. Personally i loved it, basic production and a raw gritty sound, I know iam in a minority here, as the Pinchers used to love telling me, but its one of my all time favourites and it was a sad day when it was sold.
Pomonkey Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I have the BNF, perfect record for a club love it, all 3 versions get played at Dig Deeper but that's because we can't help ourselves, predictable seeing the same old folks here saying it's too shouty for their tender ears and old knees, still have a strange memory of seeing Jimmy Burns doing his version live but at such a slow pace it sounded like a country and western song, ah well. 1
Tony Smith Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 that was when,in the late 80Ts ? (I first heard it on tape mid 80Ts)never saw a copy anywhere and no one even mentioned its existance...and this was in the period when The Cairos was a £1 record.... Yes, and I know the whereabouts of at least 10.
Corbett80 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Sometimes i have wonderful dreams where i'm at an infinitely massive record fair and there's boxes of Cairos for £1. And i've got huge dungarees on with giant pockets full of £50 notes. 1
Pomonkey Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The fashion crime on-the-spot fine for you wearing dungarees in public exactly equals the imaginary wad of sovs so you'd still not be able to buy any even in your dreams. 1
Harrythedog Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Brand new Faces, Stanky.... What next? Loni Jones
Popular Post Dave Pinch Posted February 24, 2015 Popular Post Posted February 24, 2015 So what's the point of this thread then. I ve got a very rare but lousy record.. well done....who cares 4
Labeat Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Jimmy Burns re-surfacing, don't know about that but it's certainly one of the "Rarest" of the rare
Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 What Pottsy said...what PhilT said...but I still wouldn't want a copy! Outrush Greeeg used to play it at the CapitolSC and still has a copy. they're out there.
Dave Pinch Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 The hokey cokey would sound great over a big sound system...still doesn't wash with me 2
KevH Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 The hokey cokey would sound great over a big sound system...still doesn't wash with me So if i've got this right,you're not keen on this record Dave. 2

Outrush Greeeg used to play it at the CapitolSC and still has a copy. they're out there. Oh no ! didn't know Greg has a copy, I was down at Solid Hit Soul last Friday (brilliant night by the way lads) and Greg was guesting there, would have gone up & asked him if he'd play it if I'd known !

Ady, you could have asked Stuart Tyler - he used to play it at Solid Hit Soul when I was part of it, and may still have it. Edited February 26, 2015 by Gene-R 2

Soul Shrews Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Remember Sam playing it at the time Jimmy Burns was big for Richard Searling. Was it justa question of being played by these DJs because they didn"t have J Burns ? Cheers Paul
viphitman Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I friggin love Brand New faces !!! Great gritty street level sound I love to swing my legs to !!! Hmm, just type in Jimmy Burns, Al Williams and you get more sales on ebay/popsike then BNF !!! Add to that manship and private sales/offers .... It doesn't mean much but you just never know how many copies are around for sure !! There are many silent big ticket armchair collectors in the UK as well as dj's and collectors who like to show off a little !!! Anyway, I love it even if it would cost me a tenner But a save guess would be it's not as rare as Don Gardner ;) Edited February 27, 2015 by viphitman

Garethx Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 The harmony ballad side of Brand New Faces is actually pretty good. I think the vocals on the dance side are supposed to be deliberately off-key in order to add to its 'hipness'.
