Guest soul_hull Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 my modern-soul-loving buddy cannot see any reason why i love this track, at all, but it completely does me in any lovers / haters?
Simon T Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 my modern-soul-loving buddy cannot see any reason why i love this track, at all, but it completely does me in any lovers / haters? Love it. One of a very of those 80's records with the drum machine backing that I actually like. Reminds me of Rocky City for some reason.
Catriona Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Love it. One of a very of those 80's records with the drum machine backing that I actually like. Reminds me of Rocky City for some reason. Me too. I blame that Robin Salter,(even tho its probably not his fault). I played it at a disco thing in a local club recently and they didnt know it x

Soul Shrews Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 my modern-soul-loving buddy cannot see any reason why i love this track, at all, but it completely does me in any lovers / haters? Niether love it or hate it myself, its an OK kinda 80's dancer, but Mr Wu will always be a top man for me 'cos he wrote that nice Jean Carne song. Cheers Paul
Them Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Me, of course, like it. It's one of the best 80s dancer from Atlantic at that time. As well as Bridge, Ze-Brass, Deep... killer choonz for both boogie and modern crowds.
Guest modernsoulfox Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 LOVE LOVE IT ! THIS TRACK IS JUST AWESOME
Soulie_girl_80 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 looooveee it! heard it for the first time about two months ago.. just know a few 80s songs like this.. if anyone can recommend me a few more please..? it would be great thanks! ana
Guest soultempo Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) So many of the big 80s boogie tracks, that many of us grew up with and loved at the time, are now beginning to sound dated IMVhumbleO ... However ... this one is still very popular with the late 70s/early 80s crowd ... ! Def. sits comfortably at the more classy end of that era ... ... with the likes of Gwen McCrae's (USA 12" version, not UK) of Keep the fire burning, etc. ... Edited December 2, 2006 by soultempo
Guest Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 my modern-soul-loving buddy cannot see any reason why i love this track, at all, but it completely does me in any lovers / haters? Absolutly love it. One of the better releases on Atlantic. Perhaps interesting to know... Larry changed his artist name into Larry Woo and formed the group Modernique in '86. A year later they released an LP (also reissued on CD in Japan 2-years ago) though the materials on the LP sound far from what Larry recorded in '84.
Guest andyrattigan Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Stunning 8ts Soul Dancer that. Its on Kent's "So Soulful 7ts". Great CD compilation. Just picked up the 12" of Skip Mahoney and The Casuals- Running Away from Love. Anyone know it? Awesome tune
Guest Dodger Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 looooveee it! heard it for the first time about two months ago.. just know a few 80s songs like this.. if anyone can recommend me a few more please..? it would be great thanks! ana https://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZlettie65 Got another pretty good Larry Woo and Modernique 12 for sale in amongst that lot.

Guest soul_hull Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 according to this website yer right - i love both tracks 100% by the way, no more games and let me show you. https://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Been%20Missed%204.html info is about half way down.
Sebastian Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 If someone here has got a 7" copy of "Let Me Show You" by Larry Wu for sale, please PM me.
Richard Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Just picked up the 12" of Skip Mahoney and The Casuals- Running Away from Love. Anyone know it? Awesome tune Not sure if it's the same on the 12" but personally prefer the album version, the intro of the LP version sounds smoother to me as on the 7" it has extra sax on it. if i get a chance over the weekend I'll upload the lp version for you

Steveh73 Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Larry Wu - an excellent 12 IMHO By the way, the B side of the Skip Mahoney 12 - And Its Love is excellent also. Cheers Steve.
Richard Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 By the way, the B side of the Skip Mahoney 12 - And Its Love is excellent also. That's also on the LP
Simon M Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 my modern-soul-loving buddy cannot see any reason why i love this track, at all, but it completely does me in any lovers / haters? How about Larry's lable mates .... Bridge " Baby dont hold your love back" Atlantic just as good IMO !!
Guest Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Firstly, love the Larry Wu track, and absolute classic, picked my copy up about 5 years ago, it's the US 12" with instrumental on the B side, I believe the promo 12" has the short vocal version on the B side and was told this was harder to find. Also the Bridge track is another monster and deserves to be played again. I have the US 7" demo and UK 12", and it's on that so soulful 70's CD comp too which is fab.
Jason S Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Talking of Bridge, the previously unreleased LP that Fish put out in 2000 still sounds so good. So many killers on there Are they the same group as the Atlantic lot?
