Illusive Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Never imagined I'd say this but Mr Jefferies has produced another 45 version of a classic side, and I love it !!!!! (No I haven't been bribed or suffered a knock on the head). The Unsung Wonders return with a contemporary version of The Hamilton Movement's "She' Gone". Now I can see the queue forming of people wanting to hit me with a baseball bat for giving this exposure, but there it is. Kevlar suit, flak jacket, riot helmet and shield all firmly in place. I'm sure Mick H will be at the front of the queue 😜 Merry Xmas Gav Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Had it been Gwen Mccrae or a lady of similar ability then things may have been different enough to take notice. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Well I guess you can't get rarer than making a record yourself. All I would add is that this particular record is not better than the HM, and the singer is not the best I've heard, but that's only my opinion!

In my humble opinion as a musician, the only time you should cover someone else's record is if you have a completely different take on it or you can smash the original to pieces. Just my two cents. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
perux Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thanks gents Lee here to be honest I just do it for the crack to see if i can pull a band together and make a record. the best feeling is when you here everything live in the studio.

Frankie Crocker Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Couldn’t get past the first few bars...best filed next to Wigan’s Ovation. The vocal is weak and warbles. Not sure what the purpose of this cover is as it is so musically inferior, it surely won’t be a club-hit or a commercial success. The Hamilton Movement track is a great slab of uprising dance music that just builds and builds, a real gem. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If you're producing this kind of music with a band(sorry, i'm under the impression that you're also the producer here and not just a band member) I would highly recommend that you read Gabe Roth's 'Shitty Is Pretty' essay on producing Soul and Funk tracks. I reference that particular essay all the time myself and its like a bible to me as I'm also a musician and producer ,its definitely worth checking out if you haven't come across it before.Its in two parts and it's pretty long but its brilliantly written and I've found it indispensable as a guide. Its also pretty damn hilarious too at times.There's a metric ton of advice in there when it comes to recording and obtaining the type of sounds that make for producing great, and most importantly,authentic sounding Soul and Funk music tracks. Apologies as I don't have a link to the article right now ,but if you Google it you will find it easily enough. Happy reading. Soulsides.

Just been on your website and I must say it is FAB, easily the best one out there and miles better than John’s, Pat’s and Tim’s... At £15, this unsung offering is a real bargain and I would urge seasonal splurgers to buy now to avoid spiralling record price inflation. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
