And of course I won't be rooting for you against Denmark. Cheers to Chris Waddle, Stuart Pearce (1990) and Gareth Southgate (1996) 😘

Larry Santos. The lunatics really have taken over the asylum.  🤔 Much prefer the issue and its probably the  rarest version ... On discogs for £500 .

Some nice pieces on there,and of course not a bargain in sight..larry santos etc!

but i have to say the cavaliers 45,xxxxxxxxxxxxhat is the worst record ive ever heard! The guitar is out of tune,it sounds like a practise run but they said xxxxxx it that'll do! I dont know whats worse the fact some clown has paid 911 quid for it,or the group for releasing an appaulling song on a astonishingly bad recording session! All the band must have been pissed or on something! Bad is to kinda word for that record!

I thought there is something in the sites rules about using bad language.

I agree, its as bad as it gets.

No wonder its rare. Who would have bought that back in the day.

Agreed. Really only a £500 record, but a jolly fine one.

The language is terrible. Larry Santos and Cavaliers should start with capitals. It should read ‘practice’ with a ‘c’ as it’s a noun, the verb being spelled with a ‘s’. Funk has a ‘n’ in it. Don’t should have an apostrophe in it, as should ‘what’s’. Appalling has no ‘u’ in it. There should be an ‘’an’ before astonishing as this starts with a vowel. The ‘to’ in the last sentence should read ‘too’. Apart from that, I enjoyed the thrust of your point.

I thought Joey ' wake up etc'  was way over priced at £ 2.80  although cereal addicts would probably pay three quid for the morning happy tune. Obviously soul fans would be just be going bed listening to Walter Jackson, cheers

Haha. The Cavaliers has the virtue of being a rare and obscure artifact. The Joey Delorenzo not only sucks, not only isn't soul or even remotely soulful, but isn't even all that rare. Rare-ish, I guess: eight say they have it on Discogs.

The Cavaliers track dissapointment is more about it could have been so much better with a bit more effort i think.

Joey D......Great singalonga tune......proper northern soul nonsense. Love it!

Swearing isn't allowed on the site as it causes problems with searches etc.

Currently being sorted - Those who have replied, could you please edit the swear words out of the post that you quoted?

Many thanks.

The only reason the crap that is Joey D is even mentioned is because of its rarity.  If it was £10 it wouldn't even sell.

Big, big spin at The Dome 15-20 years ago. I reckon if I found the dead stock, I could knock them out slowly at £1,000 at first then £500, £300 etc. It’s a real dancer that builds and builds.

It was big before the Dome, Kenny Burrell.  I was at the Dome, it was sh*te then and it still is.

Ah, but it peaked at The Dome. Big venue, Friday night crowd from far and wide, packed dance floor, dancers going bonkers. I was with the dancers - were you with the chin-strokers in the record room? Blue-eyed soul from New Mexico, Freddie Chavez influenced, what’s not to like?

For me it peaked at 'The Ritz' Manchester - That bouncing floor just suited it (Along with my amazing foot work) :huh:

The Dome was ok of course :wink:

Hmm... Freddie Chavez I always loved. The 6 sides of his 3 Look 45's even. Although none equally. 

Joey Delorenzo I never liked. Influenced by Freddie Chavez !? I never thought to hear it that way...

There are similarities in 'sound'. True... But that's all I hear in common between these two artists.

I was with the dancers as well - but not for Joey D, poor disco record not an ounce of soul in it, I think Kenny only played it for a bet ... I asked him if this was the case, he never denied it 😉 .

Joey Delorenzo is not my favourite record and not a great vocal, but it is a good dancer with a interesting production that works in a venue played loud.

There have always been records that please the dance floor, more than the purist soul aficionado.

But I think that's part of the tapestry of Northern Soul!  It's varied with a lot of different styles. That's what keeps it interesting.  

It is a balance between the dancer, who just wants to have a good exciting dance, and the good quality DJ who wants to get good quality tunes accepted.

As long as it's liked and accepted on the Northern Soul allnighter dancefloor, it should be played. 

It's a democracy and the dancefloor is where the votes are cast!!
