Pete S Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 JAMES COIT - BLACK POWER A lunatic escapes from an asylum and somehow finds his way into a recording studio. This is what results. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. J.C. MESSINA - TIME WON'T LET ME This guy sings like a neanderthal man chewing a hedgehog GEORGE LEMONS - FASCINATING GIRL Arranger: hey, I know what would improve this record, let's get a couple of violinists in to add some sweetness. What, we don't have any violinists? OK, you two binmen over there, pick up those fiddles up and try and keep in time. Oh and George? If you could sing like someone's just kicked you in the gonads, that would be great. JIMMY DELPHS - DANCING A HOLE IN THE WORLD Jimmy, we've got some good news and some bad news for you, you won't be able to dance a hole in the world any more because we are going to have to amputate your feet. But there is some good news...the guy in the next bed wants to buy your slippers. Oh, and also, congratulations, you have knocked the Birdie Song off the number 1 spot of worst record ever made. So a good day all round. THE TOPICS - HAVE YOUR FUN The band play one tune, the singers sing another. Utterly inept. BUDDY SMITH - WHEN YOU LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE The first line of this appears to be "wwwwiiiibbblewillllbbbwibble", apparently sung by Joey Deacon in a language not yet discovered by western civilaztion. I've never heard the rest of the song because it bored me to sleep after 10 seconds. Music to watch paint dry by.

Well ones with bad taste anyway. The ones you listed have always been sh*t. except for Put Me In Your Pocket which is quaint.
Trev Thomas Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I haven't got them either. JUST SO HAPPENS IVE ACTUALLY GOT GEORGE LEMONS
Guest Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 JUST SO HAPPENS IVE ACTUALLY GOT GEORGE LEMONS Why ? Is it to scare cats away or frighten the local kids with? Derek
Soul Shrews Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I had one last list, you ought to read the lists I put up! Sorry Pete, am actually on self enforced vinyl stavation regime at the mo' what with a US trip comin' up, thats why I've not been scouring record lists lately. My previous post was then somewhat flippant. BTW 'ow much was it? And er 'ave you still got it? Cheers Paul

Pete S Posted September 3, 2006 Author Posted September 3, 2006 i bought the james coit promo - a bargain. great for framing. I have to say - that is a pretty rare white demo - others may disagree but it's the first one I've seen. Another really nice and I think extremely hard to find white demo is E Rodney Jones - r & B Time, which by strange coincidence is on my list next week (or it was til I sold it earlier). Dead rare though...looks great too. A lot of records look better than they sound.
Trev Thomas Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Best condition possible then Derek too true,, believe me, if it was playable it would have been sold years ago

Pete S Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 WHAT!? Still no mention of Larry Houston or Danny Hunt... I've run out of expletives to describe the hideous Larry Houston I'm afraid. But I don't think I know what the Danny Hunt is.
Sebastian Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) I've run out of expletives to describe the hideous Larry Houston I'm afraid. But I don't think I know what the Danny Hunt is. I just remembered some "sales talk" on one of your old lists from about 5 years ago... I actually still have it here somewhere... ah, found it: DANNY HUNT - WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR LOVE AFAIR - DYNAMITE EX- £5 LARRY HOUSTON - LET'S SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER - HFMP EX £5 No wonder Wigan was dying on it's feet when this crap was being played. Aswith most 70's soul records, this and the one above it ought to be melteddown into something useful. Top stuff. I think I bought both of those records from you from that list and that's probably why I remember it. Love that Danny Hunt 45, recently dug it out again and can't stop playing it.

Chalky Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 No wonder I couldn't remember ever having it. Must have been made as a bet. Mortimer and Randolph Duke are commodity brokers who enjoy a little wager now and then. For the latest bet, Randolph believes they can take a common person and make him a successful soul singer. They choose Danny Hunt, who unfortunately sings like a fish. sings like a fish you've a way with words Pete I'll give you that

Sweeney Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) You've already highlighted my top contender for the worst record ever played on the scene (Fascinating Girl, although his version of Uphill Climb to the Bottom is EVEN better, if you see what I mean). My second 'favourite' is Penny Gold - Lindy Stevens (Decca). I don't even think Lindy's mum could like this. Truly shocking to think this was played out and even made it onto a Kent LP.

That was a record that was supposed to be big when I first started going to Wigan, appeared in top 20's etc, but I never actually heard it til it came out on Kent Floorshakers! It's harmless enough...I think it's from a film of the same name.
Modernsoulsucks Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 I've got George Lemons too and it's bloody awful. I'd also like to nominate "Baby you're alive" Styles. Great backing,great back-up vocals and George Lemons moonlighting!! Listening to it now. Terrible!! ROD

Stateside Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Just Brothers - Sliced tomatoes - is and always will be the most mindless piece of **** to be ever put on to vinyl.

Soulsmith Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) i bought the james coit promo - a bargain. great for framing. Heres another idea for James Coit I really can't stress how friggin' easy this is. Set oven temperature of 200F. Put a bowl upside-down on a cookie sheet, whack the record on top, and set it in the oven for about five minutes. Pull it out (use a hotpad or you'll burn yourself!), whip off the flimsy record, and shove it down inside another bowl to mold it. They don't give off toxic fumes or anything, and they don't get melty enough that you see fingerprints. You've only got a few seconds to work with it though, so be quick. I think I'm going to glue some marbles to the bottom to act as legs and use a piece of tape to cover up the hole. Voila! Ultra trendy potato chip bowls Edited September 4, 2006 by Soulsmith

Got to confess to loving 'Lady In Green' here's five though that should be confined to being turned into ashtrays:- 1. Bill Bush - I'm Waiting 2. Johnny Taylor - Blues In The Night (WHAT AN AWFUL INTRO) 3. Mr Soul - What Happened To Yesterday 4. Joe Valentine - I Lost The Only Love I Ever Had (petty he didnt los his friggin' voice at the same time) 5. Bob Relf - Blowin' My Mind To Pieces ........could go on an on really
Nick Hackett Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 sorry andy my old mucker but CITY LIGHTS....WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP. i hate this record more than jehovah witnesses knocking on christmas day!
Guest mrs norman maine Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Don't know what it's called or who it's by, as I've tried not to let it get inside my head. But, here's some clues & maybe someone can enlighten me:Female R'nB.Part of the lyrics go..."to appreciate me baby just knock on wood"...... I think.sounds like Ethel 'there's no business like show business' Merman getting tangled up in her own knicker elastic.ugh!! Sorry, I know you asked for 5, but just thinking about this has put me such a mood... I'd better not do any more or I'd never stop...

Guest Andy BB Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 sorry andy my old mucker but CITY LIGHTS....WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP. i hate this record more than jehovah witnesses knocking on christmas day! Ha Ha You're not alone by any means. Obviously I Love It - then again as a poor little snot-nosed Mod kid all I had was the Kent albums and I used to hammer the Right back Where We Started From album which just pipped On The Soul Side and Soul Spin for me. Meanwhile my friends would be insisting I get away from the bloody decks so they could put something else on (some things just never change). For the fairly expensive record I hate most my vote would easily go to Jackie Day - Naughty Boy
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 God, how I hope never to hear any of these again: 1. Cashing In - VOEH - the most overexposed record in the history of both Northern and Modern Soul. 2. Too Much Love Making - Gloria Scott - She's got a case of too much over-playing... 3. Don't Send Nobody Else - Ace Spectrum - if you can't come yourself, that works for me... 4. Is She In Your Town - Curtis Lee - hope not, otherwise I'm off to 'Your Move' 5. Born A Loser - Don Ray - and still a loser, a record where the only redeeming feature is the run out groove 6. I Love Her So Much It Hurts Me - either version. A once-wonderful record that should have been put out to grass years ago instead of being used as a failsafe by DJ's who don't have the nous to find something less obvious to fill a floor with... TONE :angry:
Pete S Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 4. Is She In Your Town - Curtis Lee - hope not, otherwise I'm off to 'Your Move' Ah don't say that, I've got a mint demo I need to sell! p.s. Don Ray is fantastic
