mischief Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 The Interpretations(Coming Out Of Hiding) link Ok stone me, but I really like this...
Guest Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF X FACTOR STEVE SUNG ON THE FOUR VANDALS ONE PICTURE'S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS/NO NO NO GIRL? link Whats the story behind the Four Vandals, never heard of them before
Rich Buckley Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Whats the story behind the Four Vandals, never heard of them before link Four Likely Lads, original line up hailing from Sheffield - Brett, Mark Etheridge, Blade For Life (Steve Manion) and Shane (hopalong) Think sort of The Beatles meets The Full Monty and you'll get the picture

That'll now be TWO CRUNCHIES "owed" to you Nob Jockey :Fck_off_by_nulltarget:
Guest Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 is this bullshit...cos ive just listened to it...its awsome...and is there a single....when was it recorded....if its true...that bloke as gone right up in my estimations....... here it is https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Four_Va...usand_Words.ram
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 No bullshit Dob it's Steve Brookstien all right and an Ian Levine production, pretty sure it did get a release as well. It's certainly been issued on a couple of CD's John
TheBigO Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 (edited) For my sins I like 'Wrong Side Of Town' despite Mr Levine's finger prints all over it. It's just a pity we had all the very dubious and silly games played over it by certain people who should know better!!! That said, ceratin people should also be gratful Mrs Osbournes not a northern Soul fan - can you imagine what she'd have done with them and their....you get the picture Edited December 13, 2004 by TheBigO
Guest 71TRSC Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Its certainly on Allnighter 3 GSCD144. But dont be downhearted the rest of the cd is rather jolly good.
Markw Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Hi everyone. Wake up and smell the coffee......it's a pile of poo! You all know that really.
Guest in town Mikey Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Aye, but that Venetia Whats er face track is really quite good.
Jerry Hipkiss Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Aye, but that Venetia Whats er face track is really quite good. link Yeah but that's Steve wotsisname as well - just with the vocals sped up Jerry.
Winnie :-) Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Hi everyone. Wake up and smell the coffee......it's a pile of poo! You all know that really. ========= Isn't it a matter of preference though? Personally I think it's not bad, and very danceable. Can anybody tell me (honest question) was it released to chart....or was it aimed mainly at the northern fraternity? Winnie:-)
TheBigO Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) :angry: I think you'll find winnie that it was aimed at ripping off certain DJ's by passing it off as an original 60's 45 - hence the deft hands of Boxing Ginger Taylor at Stoke! No amount of spin doctoring can change the fact. Sad really as it is a good record IMHO (although ripped off Dan Folger chorus!) * Thats 'Wrong Side Of Town' I'm talking about by the way - anyone seen the film clip that goes with this? Edited December 14, 2004 by TheBigO
Guest Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Sad really as it is a good record IMHO (although ripped off Dan Folger chorus!) link
Chalky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) He (Steve) is that good, he was booed off stage t'other night , not once, not twice but three times forgot the words as well He also said according to the radio that skeletons in his cupboard will ruin his career I bet his career doesn't get off the ground, he'll sink faster than the titanic Still a million quid ain't bad I suppose for a Karaoke singer Edited December 14, 2004 by chalky
Guest Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Dissagree, I think we are going to see him in the charts a lot. And yes, I loved wrong side of town, perfect dancer for me. But I do not in anyway agree with the way it was sold to the scene
Winnie :-) Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Dissagree, I think we are going to see him in the charts a lot. ============ There may be a little bit of interest in him initially, but when you consider the other winners of various talent shows.....I don't think it will last too long. Winnie:-)
Chalky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Judging by his appearance Sunday (I think it was) he won't last very long
Tony Smith Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Aye, but that Venetia Whats er face track is really quite good. link Oh no it isn't!
Chalky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Oh no it isn't! link I agree Tony, the backing and the vocals don't even sound like they belong together.
Guest in town Mikey Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Oh no it isn't! link Oi Widow Twonky Oh yes it is.
Chalky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) I agree Tony, the backing and the vocals don't even sound like they belong together. link Reminds me of Petula Clark too Edited December 14, 2004 by chalky
Tony Smith Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I agree Tony, the backing and the vocals don't even sound like they belong together. link Thats because they don't, inspite of what Tone-deaf Mikey says
Guest in town Mikey Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I have only heard it in the vacant Rocket Halls, but I quite liked it. I accept my charge of being tone deaf. But you really should hear my singing. Actually... no you shouldnt
Tony Smith Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I have only heard it in the vacant Rocket Halls, but I quite liked it. I accept my charge of being tone deaf. But you really should hear my singing. Actually... no you shouldnt link Played in an empty hall is where it sounds best!
Johnny T Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I have only heard it in the vacant Rocket Halls, but I quite liked it. I accept my charge of being tone deaf. But you really should hear my singing. Actually... no you shouldnt link Bleedin hell Mikey don't back down so easy mate...... s'only Smiffy.... you could 'ave 'im easy (mind you e's right..... proper shite that record!)
Tony Smith Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Bleedin hell Mikey don't back down so easy mate...... s'only Smiffy.... you could 'ave 'im easy (mind you e's right..... proper shite that record!) link Thank u mssr Timllin

Guest Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 i wonder if steve x factor has a northern collection.....instead of being paid off levine,he gave him a load of records....
Chalky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) Chalky where was he singing then? link I forgot, it was someone on the radio saying what happened. He was doing an appearance at a night club or summat like that I think. Edited December 14, 2004 by chalky
soulAdequateNP Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Reminds me of Petula Clark too link Probably because the end bit of the chorus is a direct clone of "Downtown"...also the earlier part of the melody is borrowed from Trinity "We Love The Pirate Stations".
Pete S Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Oh no it isn't! link Oh yes it is. If it was by anyone else but Levine people would still be raving over this. Fantastic record.
Chalky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 If it was by anyone else but Levine people would still be raving over this. link Oh no they wouldn't
Guest Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 But please don't tell Dave, it's his christmas present
Ady Potts Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Oh yes it is. If it was by anyone else but Levine people would still be raving over this. Fantastic record. link So are you saying you prefer this tune to the Chuck Cockerham, that you refer to elsewhere Pete?
Tony Smith Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Oh yes it is. If it was by anyone else but Levine people would still be raving over this. Fantastic record. link Sorry Pete, you´re dead wrong there!, I always loved Peter Hamilton(inst.) and played it regularly in the early 90´s when it was largely forgotten, on hearing the vocal, instantly hated it, tailor made rubbish! See me after school!
Tony Smith Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Oi Tony, leave my baby Mikey alone link OK if you insist
Guest Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Steve is the lead singer of The Four Vandals and The Interpretations(Coming Out Of Hiding) link soddin hell i never knew that .....i like that too Davie
Dave Abbott Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 But please don't tell Dave, it's his christmas present link spoilt me xmas surprise :angry: ...but yipee . I love the record, hate the lies surrouding it, but its a great record imo.
Guest hammy Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Oh no they wouldn't link I think the version by Elaine Paige is better. Hammy
Guest Jamie Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Oh no they wouldn't link I'm not jumping on the bandwaggon, but I don't like the record. And I made my mind up after listening to it before I knew all the background to it. It just sounds like it should sit one of those CD comps 'Northern Soul For The New Millenium' type thingys, which should read 'Manufactured Bontempi Pap Northern For Supermarkets'. It just does not sound right, even with the benefit of hindsight. Just my two-penneth. J
