Jon Buck likes playing April Stevens. Unfortunately I dont like listening to it. So if your reading this JB please please please do the decent thing and smash it to bits.

Ah don't say that, I've got a mint demo I need to sell!

p.s. Don Ray is fantastic

Agree totally with Pete on this one - never get tired of that one.....

p.s. Pete, but I also think JC Messina is fantastic (from a dancer's point of view)

King bloody Mosses - i got that feeling (my ears are bleeding) - utter utter sh*te record that should not be played at all, end off.

Lady in green

Ringleaders (great group soul but way overplayed and overpriced lead me to hate this record)

Independant woman

and for the last two a couple of the disco records i've herd lately that i have know idea or wish to know who they are.

[Rugby Soul Club]

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

It must be a chin stroker thing but I'm dying to know what records they are.....

[Bazza]

1.Lady in Green Magnetics

2.Lady in Green Magnetics

3.Lady in Green Magnetics

4.Lady in Green Magnetics

Tied for 5th and 6th spot Lady in Green Magnetics

When I first heard this I thought it was truly awful but some posters on this site seemed to rate it highly, thinking I was perhaps being hasty, or missing something, I listened again, it was even worse the second listen and, so turgid, I could not bring myself to play it all the way through, same day some kind soul sends me six mp3s by email and this crap was one of them, it haunts me.

Flip it , the other side is a great underplayed track.."heart your made of stone" brilliant tune

Lady in green is tripe

...Must be a Wigan thing with you and Pete - as someone who went there only a few times, all that I hear in 'Born A Loser' is a mediocre pop song with a dance beat, sung by an equally mediocre Country singer with no soul credentials whatsoever.

In a three way battle with Brian Hyland and Gary Lewis (both of whose Wigan-era pop stompers were considerably better IMO) , Mr. Ray was definitely 'Born The Loser'!

I never even thought about his voice, I just thought it was a handy little song with a great chorus!

Oh one other thing, I never heard this played at Wigan, I'd stopped going when they were playing this one. I actually know it originally from the Lafayette in Wolvo.

[Little-stevie]

Nine times out of ten......................No ten out of ten, shite white pop record..

Nah dont associate Born A Loser with Wigan Tone, when was it palyed there as I stopped going mid 79 until early 81 - cant remember it being played beffore that mid 77 up to mid 79, or 81 onwards. First heard the tune around 86-ish I suppose

Love it!!!

Always heard that at Maximes Morecambe in the late 80s.

Sometimes I wish I could go out and not have to listen to all that black rubbish they insist on playing at Soul clubs these days...

[Ernie Andrews]

This one is for Pete S

Do the Pearl Girl- Matta baby (The Vocal) HAHA

I cant believe me & Pete Had a bidding war over this on ebay. Shows how mad you can be when you want something no matter how crap it is!

It's not crap, it's a GREAT instrumental dancer

[Guest Polyvelts]

I'll never forget you - OJays

and

I'd think it over - Sam Fletcher (not Harvey Ave Dozen, thats awesome)

Overplayed - I hate them.

[Guest Spinning Vinyl]

Cant believe nobody has added

Human Beinz - Nobody But Me

Pants of the skiddiest kind

[Guest Ollie Lailey]

Jackie Whatsherface - Naughty Boy

bloody gets on my tits.........

I really cant stand that record...........my nightmare would be a U2 cover of it.

also in the same vein Mickie Champion - What good am I (without you)

arghhhhhhhhhhh its stuck in my head now!

[Pete S]

(Bobby Kline is) Absolute barrel scraping nonsense, it's another one with a hideous tune and crap lyrics and the Mike Sammes Singers doing backing vocals. Agree with Mr Soul as well. Awful.

NOW THIS BOY DOES KNOW A BAD RECORD WHEN HE HEARS ONE

CITY LIGHTS - JERRY NAYLOR ... Oh Dear Terrible record

What a brilliant idea

Wouldn't use "James Coit", still love it, but you could use some old pop records & stick on some photo copied lables of rare tunes !

I suppose you could apply it to all sorts of records, be great for pubs & clubs.

Take the idea to the "Dragons Den", you could be a Mill'yunair by Christmas

[Soulie_girl_80]

going to say just 1.. i never liked reparata and the delrons - panic..

Hi Ken,is there a Motown,version with Vocals, I thought it was a myth, or do you mean that Lavine Crap

[Guest Bogue]

Don't think any really make me feel that bad, but 6 that i never really took to are :

Footse, the thread running about it now brought bad memories of that one, but like some of the other records mentioned i don't really class it as Northern soul anyway.

Narbay - Belive it or not -

Velours - I'm Gonna' Change - Should like it really has it has all the ingredients of the Oldie sound that i prefer, but it just never jelled with me.

Baja Marimba Band - Along Comes Mary - yuk

Barbara McNair - You're Gonna Love My Baby - Again, i wouldn't say i dislike it with a vengence, but i just never found it as thrilling as most others did. Just think it takes an awful long time to get going.

Don Thomas - Come On Train - Yet again don't hate it, but it was such a popular sound but did nothing for me.

So in summing up, i suppose Baja Marimba Band is the only one i really dislike
