And what is a Northern Novice? I will perhaps concede that it's a great Northern record. In reality, it has very little to do with soul music - unless of course you're a Soul Novice.

Fantastic loud and in a venue...proper dancer, just my opinion though.

Four days to go so what will be the top bid,???       https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-PARLIAMENTS-this-Is-My-Rainy-Day-CABELL-115-Getting-Ready-For-Summer-N-SOUL/182058019676?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D35828%26meid%3Da70d3908c90c4e96be28b9fb422203b8%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D24%26sd%3D182061209955

I'm sure lots of people love it. I think it's a nasty, horrible mess.

A stunning tune. Not one for Northern Novices. Like a fine wine, one to be contemplated then savoured. Real gritty records of this rarity are few and far between. Sets the floor alight on the rare occasions it's spun in public. Looks as though it will fetch a tidy sum.

Soul music has to be soulful, otherwise it is just Black Music. If it is soulful, it's probably got that special something that someone, somewhere will like. The Parliaments is heavily Doo Wop influenced RnB but brilliant because of this. To the Northern Novice unaccustomed to an immense range of quirky tunes, the record may appear unfinished. Whatever the story, it's a great dancer, a treat to listen to and a fine contrast to the up-tempo Motown-like tracks that hooked us when we were starting out.

I probably would have danced to it back in the day - with some decent marching powder.  :hypo:

Does absolutely nothing for me today but taste is just like opinion - we're all right! :D

I can't think of another record in recent times that caused the interest this record did whilst it was covered up by Butch.  It was one of those records that made travelling worthwhile.

Yep - waiting in anticipation for 'The Masqueraders' to be played. Oh and that sort of OK. ... Mighty Lovers ;) ;) ;)

I love male group records and this is up there with the best of em, not saying The Mello Souls ever ran out of legs or ever will, but this came along albeit covered as The Masqueraders at just the right time

It oozes pure Soul up there with Williams & Watson as Rufus would say "I feel so un-necessary"

I recollect seeing the Parliaments on a list of your all-time favourite tunes a little while back...

Hey up Chalky - now there's a great idea for a thread?   Best Ten Records made big by Butch.

Easy one.

1-10 Mello Souls

11-99 everything else.

(However, Diane Lewis c/up might sneak in at 10)
