Dobber Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Off the cuff thought! But why ESPECIALLY in the oldies climate,why does “shook me up” seem to command a lot more money than “crackin up” i personally dont think either are particularly rare either demo or issue! But the shook me up is a dated sound of the Stafford era records that have fallen by the way side,whereas cracking up is top class northern soul and a top oldie! I would think shook me up should command a lot less than cracking up personally? 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I would think shook me up should command a lot less than cracking up personally? Any Roy Hamilton record is great but I'd agree that Crackin' Up Over You is a better northern track. However, it has been reissued in the US and UK and original copies have turned up over the last 40+ years. You Shook Me Up is only available on the first US issue although in reasonable quantity so I suppose it's down to supply and demand. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Shook Me Up is fabulous northern too IMO. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pga1 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Yep, agreed but a dream 45 would be 'reach out for me' backed with ' let the music play' . Calling ADY C. & Kent records, cheers 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Leicester Boy Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Both are superb northern sounds. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Solidsoul Posted July 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2021 I also think "The Panic Is On" is a great record by Roy Hamilton. Slower than the other two, but still excellent. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Windlesoul Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Always reckoned this '62 outing of his was a definite precursor to both those RCA sides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYDjBIcsnYM Edited July 3, 2021 by Windlesoul 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Reckon this is a class down tempo track from Roy 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mgm 1251 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 One of his best…I believe the other side is also popular “She Make Me Wanna Dance”,tho I can’t see why myself… 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Geeselad Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Never keen on shook me, cracking up is class, IMHO. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gaz T Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I love "shook me up" Memories of late 80s early 90s, Its a brilliant stomper. I'm really not sure what you mean about a dated Stafford sound. I Love cracking up too Is that a dated torch sound ? I always felt they were very similar records production wise. Both class in my view 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Alan H Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 The Stafford Sound isn't dated but if people have moved on to 70s and Disco and Soulfull House then yeah Early 60s is gonna sound dated.As for Roy wow what a voice and superb productions on his RCA sides. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'd say elements of the 60's Stafford sound are still just as relevant, other bits aren't. 70's and modern were a big part of Stafford anyway Alan. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yeah what im getting at is plenty of my mates moved away from the 60s sounds onto 70s into disco and now its Soulfull House .The 60s sounds are just too dated for them .Personally im into loads of different styles from the late 50s to the mid 70s.Roy Hamilton You Shook me up is a world away from the Hamilton Movement I like both mind you 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Shane Cosgrove Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Love, 'Shook me up' - I haven't heard it anywhere as much as Cracking Up. Cracking up is a fantastic record but been played to death and to death again. Then again I'm into the big beat type tunes such as HB Barnum - Hurts too much to cry, Little John Heart Breaking time and so on. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
