Dave Thorley Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Hi Simon, hows things ? hope you are well, favourite taylor made would be :- Barbara Pennington - "24 hours a day" Regards Alan Agree always loved this, but my No1 fav is James Wells-'Baby I'm still the same man' and even better on the 12" played very, very loud
45cellar Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) Quite like reaching for the best. Paul Hi Yes, "Reaching For The Best" - The first version 20th Century Single - The Exciters really did a good job on this .. Superb . I've Heard later versions/remixes - Which vary from not so good mix to tragic overkill mix. A lot of Levines stuff had the customary long intro which nearly always killed the record in my opinion before the Vocal had a chance. This one got everything right. Agree always loved this, but my No1 fav is James Wells-'Baby I'm still the same man' and even better on the 12" played very, very loud James Wells-"Baby I'm still the same man" I have to agree with this one too. Stunning. (I picked this up on a 12" Promo years ago) Edited October 30, 2006 by 45cellar

Guest in town Mikey Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) I'm with Simon. Venetia Wilson is a cracking record. Would 'love on a mountain top' be included in the tailor mades? its one of the tunes that turned my head towards Northern Soul. Edited October 30, 2006 by in town Mikey

Pete S Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Funny cos I hate james Wells, f*cking awful...best of the lot is venetia Wilson, very closely followed by Barbara Pennington - 24 hours a day, and then Barbara again with Running In Another Direction
Guest Baz Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Cant see how James Wells is a taylor made?? sounds more like a 80's soul/funk/dance track atempt thing

Martin
Guest Baz Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Can't see how James Wells is a taylor made?? sounds more like a 80's soul/funk/dance track atempt thing.It all depends on how it's packaged at the time perhaps . . . and I got this the same week as Millie Jackson's "House for sale" both packaged towards the Northern market. A nother way of looking at it, would you class a record BLATANTLY labled as Northern Soul on the label a 'taylor' made as with Val McKenna??Martin I guess your right there Martin, i suppose its a case of IMO i usually tend to see (or hear so to speak) 'taylor mades' as sort of sixtys throw back type sounds, where im guessing James Wells was realesed in the 80's around the same time there was loads and loads of the soul/funk/dance stuff around, so was it made for the northern scene or aimed at the 80's soul/dance scene, if you can see my point
Cover-up Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Best tailor-made? Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators "Feeling Free" - released last month on Finland's Timmion label!!!

Yeh, sure it was!! Although Ian Levine made stuff aimed at the 'Northern' market, he also did some more for the 'High Energy'/'Gay' scene. And yes everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Martin

Pete S Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I really like that Nicole Willis - If this ain't love, in fact I liked it so much I bought it and have kept it in my small collection of all time favourites...I especially like that bit near the end which is reminiscent of The Bottle. Great great track.

Dave Morris Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Hi Simon, How you doing.I'll go with you on Venecia Wilson.Think the backing track is The Peter Hamilton Orchestra - Hey Girl. Remember when Weakspot was released.Those were the days. Dave Morris

Simon Indeed a 'thorny old subject'. Nearly all the suggestions lead back to Ian Levine yet he would be adamant that ALL records are 'tailor made'. Back in the ANS days I made a joke about it and got the following reply.... and if Diane Jenkins 'I Need You' was - it is my nomination!! I do miss that list Mike I abhor the use of the term "tailor made". Why was Diane Jenkins making a record with a classic mid seventies dance beat wrong in any way ??? When all your beloved Northern records were created, they were similarly an attempt by producers and artists to make a sound that was in most cases ALREADY popular. Usually trying to gain access to the market that already loved the Motown sound. Similarly, my own "Twenty Four Hours A Day" was recorded in Chicago in 1976 to be a then current soulful Disco release, and indeed it topped the Billboard disco charts in the US for a staggering seven weeks. As did James Wells' "My Claim To Fame" in 1978. So I put it to you that this is all pure NONSENSE. EVERY F***ING RECORD MADE is "tailor made" for something. EVERY other music scene [House, Garage, Reggae, Techno] encourages its DJs to make new music for the dancers. STILL the Northern scene suffers from the Ponomarenko type cancer that has ALWAYS plagued it. WHY THE HELL CAN'T TALENTED ARTISTS RECORD SOMETHING NEW FOR IT, WITHOUT IT BEING DENIGRATED AND DISMISSED AS A TAILOR-MADE. It truly makes me sick to my stomach, and will eventually cause the scene to dwindle away again, as a sad bunch of seventy year olds pat themselves on the back and gloat at how wonderful they were for ALWAYS boycotting ANYTHING that might have been made with a Northern Soul Scene's dance floor in mind. The ammount of bad feedback Goldmine got over this proves my point. Kev Roberts is very forward thinking, but Tim Brown listens to too many purists. I delivered Volumes Three and Four of that series of my Northern stuff back in August, and, do you know, they STILL haven't been scheduling because Goldmine are scared stiff of upsetting the purist "anti-tailor-made" brigade. As for being a collector, I do count myself amongst the purists as far as collecting vinyl goes, but this subject makes me sick to my stomach. Thank God for open minded collectors and dealers like Steve Jeffries, Steve Plumb, and Keith Williams. And shame on some of you for DENYING the artists a chance to fill dancefloors again. Tailor-f***ing-mades.... HAH !!!!!! Bollocks !!!!!!!! ALL RECORDS ARE TAILOR-MADES

Dave Thorley Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Mike He does make some good points though IMO. Reaching for the best for example, great record to dance to, but never hear it, same with 24 hours a day, can only assume it's because of its history and the fact certain elements of the soul scene would be up in arms, should it be spun. About ten years ago I would always play James Wells-Baby I'm still the same man, at the Ritz allnighter. Would always get a full floor and bollocks to those who couldn't see the soul in it.

When it's background came out, suddenly it was a no no. The record itself hadn't changed, just the circumstances surrounding it's arrival on the scene. I remember someone saying recently judge a record on it's merits, so how come suddenly everyone was required to hate it? Is it really worse than all the records currently played?

Hi Winnie trust you are well, just my take re the four vandals, irrespective of wether i rate the track i think it went the way of lots of records not just because of its origins but because of its sudden availability! What i am saying is DJs whatever their billing status enjoy any exclusivity, look at the unnissued motown stuff a few years ago along with tracks such as carbon copy and voodoo working and more recently catch that teardrop and im waitin, massive reaction records, buzz records if you like! The common denominater? They all fell from premium playlists to an extent when booted or in the case of previously unnissued material pressed in numbers, thus meaning more plays by a considerable amount hence any mileage left in the tracks was driven almost overnight. The second it became known that the four vandals was available to anybody rather cheaply and not on a boot it became a lot less of a travel to listen to tune, and played absolutely everywhere in these parts anyway, which i think would kill it even quicker than the usuall 'boot' theory. a bit off thread i suppose but just an idea, and an interesting subject :- tracks that died a death once 'booted' or pressed in numbers, just thought of another as i type, mayfield singers - dont start none, the list goes on, Pete

As Dave T said in an earlier post, probably better not to analyse things, but on these cold winter nights what else is there to do?
Billy Freemantle Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) Ian Levine doesn't have a point at all.There is a world of difference between small companies trying to hop on the Motown bandwagon contemporaneously, and Ian Levine identifying a few hallmarks of Northern and then rounding up great singers to sing crap lyrics to gay disco tunes.

Small record companies also produced good singers who couldn't get a major record deal, and got them to imitate, for instance the Motown sound, or whatever else was popular at the time. Presumably they did this with a view to having a successful record by tapping into the current trend. Levine did similar as far as I can see? Winnie:-)
Dave Abbott Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 back on track... four vandals for me. northern soul? Yes!
Tony Smith Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) I'm with Simon. Venetia Wilson is a cracking record. Would 'love on a mountain top' be included in the tailor mades? its one of the tunes that turned my head towards Northern Soul. Rubbish!, just dubbing new vocals over an existing instumental and the words make no sense to me. I made TOTP, does that still count since the demise of the darts club??
