Guest martinsbox Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Don't know if there's been a thread for this before, but what IS the slowest Northern tune played at a nighter? Slower than perhaps Tony Clarke's "The Entertainer" or The Tams ultra brilliant, magnificently soulful "Hey girl don't bother me". Modern and cross-over type sounds don't apply. Martin

Guest Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Down and Out....George Freeman Hal Miller....the one Alan H plays 'Blessing In Disguise' ? Mmmmmmmmmmm......yes please !

Guest martinsbox Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Down and Out....George Freeman Hal Miller....the one Alan H plays Ah . . . is there a site where we can get the b.p.m. for these tunes? Nothing could be slower than Tony Clarke, surely! George Freeman is slower than Hal Miller, but I'm sure if they were slower than Tony Clarke, the record would not be spinning! Martin
Guest Goldwax Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Jimmy Ricks - Oh Wat a feeling. Ray Pollard - The Drifter A nice mellow set we could build here.
Guest markmtfc Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Show me the time- Sir Ceasar, pure quality, and as slow as you could possibly get.
Guest martinsbox Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Jimmy Ricks - Oh Wat a feeling. Ray Pollard - The Drifter A nice mellow set we could build here. Two smashing tracks, and both not heard for ages.l Martin Also perhaps Willie Tee "Walking up a one way street" perhaps.
Richard Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Please refer to the pitching up thread...... Just say no to slowies
Guest martinsbox Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Romance Watson. "I'll hold you" by Frankie & Johnny sounds more like a stomper compared to some listed so far. Martin
shute Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 PYRAMID............... OR EVEN........JOHNNY BURTON - COME ON & DANCE WITH ME..BOTH BLOODY GOOD TUNES
Guest vinylvixen Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 'Blessing In Disguise' ? Mmmmmmmmmmm......yes please ! By Jove, White, that's it.... Big Maybelle 'Oh Lord'....Jo Ah . . . is there a site where we can get the b.p.m. for these tunes? Nothing could be slower than Tony Clarke, surely! George Freeman is slower than Hal Miller, but I'm sure if they were slower than Tony Clarke, the record would not be spinning! Martin OK Martin, battle of the beat ballads....George Freeman is almost Funeral March - Tony Clarke is 130bpm compared to this Jo

Big Maybelle 'Oh Lord'....Jo OK Martin, battle of the beat ballads....George Freeman is almost Funeral March - Tony Clarke is 130bpm compared to this Jo Right then, we need a place to stage a 'Slowest of slow' nights to fight this out. The first record to make the dancers stop dancing is the winner . . . and I don't mean by playing pop!! Martin
Gert Mark Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 You can dance to most of these though so ill see you all and raise you Gene mcDanials - Walk with a winner Even Gene himself couldnt dance to it on the you tube clip.

Guest martinsbox Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Can't belive that nobodys mentioned Paris Blues yet ? Just had the nudge . . . How about someones favourite song of ALL time Paris Blues by the brilliant Tony Middleton on Mala. On pure class this just has to be the slowest of all time. Also Mel Britt's "She'll come running back" no mention yet, and not even upbeat on the chorus!! Martin
Gasher Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 DON HYSONG...SOUL SEARCHER..BARD OR FIRE LITE
Garethx Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) Funny that Mel Britt is thought of as a slowie: the percussion and bassline are actually pretty fast. I was kind of brought up on a diet of beat ballads, but many of them make me cringe now, at least in a club context. Must say what an absolutely stunning record the Faye Crawford on RCA Victor is though: absolutely mesmeric and one I've just got to play again and again and again. Edited September 11, 2006 by garethx
Chalky Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Funny that Mel Britt is thought of as a slowie: the percussion and bassline are actually pretty fast. I'm also sat here scratching my head wondering how some of the records mentioned can me mentioned in a thread about the slowest record ever on the northern scene
Guest Andy BB Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Must be in with a shout Both absolutely beautiful (and sloooow). Roosevelt Matthews - You got me diggin you Jeff Dale -Sufferin Pain
Guest martinsbox Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Funny that Mel Britt is thought of as a slowie: the percussion and bassline are actually pretty fast. Yep! quite right about Mel Britt, also The Tams "Hey girl don't bother me" is actually a bit of a stompa come to think of it now. Martin p.s. still think Tony Clarke's "Entertainer" is only about 12.5 b.p.m.
