Souljazera Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Let just remind our selves how good the original is absolutely....
Godzilla Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Just cos it costs 500 quid don't make it no better than the fantastic original, get real mate TOO RIGHT pretty rubbish to my ears too..very nine times out of ten!!!!! Can't tell who your replying to. If it's my comment, well I am real and I said it's a nice version - not better. I just think it's a nice version and the fact that it's rare is a bonus. It'd still be a nice version if it was a tenner. Are you seriously saying it sounds like Muriel Day though? Godz
Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Ignore them Mark, it's a great version. Any chance of a scan please? Godz ...my back is broad...can't scan the label lads - my house is upside-down for the moment due to buliding work - if anybody wants to have a closer look, I'll have it in my sales box @ Soul Revolution tmrw tho? Nice to have caused a bit of friendly debate tho... MRez

Peter99 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I don't care what anyone else says. The Blue Sharks is the bestest - it matters not that it is rarer. It is just better!
Bigsoulman Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I don't care what anyone else says. The Blue Sharks is the bestest - it matters not that it is rarer. It is just better! COBBLERS!!! :angry:
Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 COBBLERS!!! :angry: Cobblers bakc!! blue sharks so coool.
Godzilla Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Cobblers bakc!! blue sharks so coool. Agreed Ken. What on earth is it about this record that's causing people to be rude to strangers, use "angry face" emoticons and so on? Strange. Godz
Guest Gavin Page Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Agreed Ken. What on earth is it about this record that's causing people to be rude to strangers, use "angry face" emoticons and so on? Strange. Godz Yep all quite odd ? Nice little version
Bigsoulman Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Agreed Ken. What on earth is it about this record that's causing people to be rude to strangers, use "angry face" emoticons and so on? Strange. Godz Twas only a bit of banter and my angry face is no worse that you're avitar Mr Zilla
John Parker Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 WHATS BAD ABOUT THE RECORD ? VOCALS? ORCHESTRATION? PRODUCTION? NOT ORIGINAL VERSION? THERE OFTEN SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSION IN DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN GOOD OR BAD WHEN WHAT IS REALLY MEANT IS LIKE/DISLIKE/NOT TO MY TASTE ETC I LIKE BOTH VERSIONS ALSO THINK ITS IN BAD FORM TO RUBBISH A RECORD THAT A FELLOW SOURCER HAS UP FOR SALE-- WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE IN THE LOOK AT YOUR BOX FORUM SO THERE
Guest melandthensome Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) I remember when this was first played and not a bad version at all......Its a very special record that can out-do an orginal cut on anything in my view.. I prefer the Velvelettes but as I said this isnt bad. mel Edited February 23, 2007 by melandthensome
Godzilla Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Twas only a bit of banter and my angry face is no worse that you're avitar Mr Zilla - I'm cute!............... Or so Mrs G tells me anyway. Mind you she says I ain't put much weight on too...
Godzilla Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I remember when this was first played ... When was that Mel? I remember someone (Sam?) playing it in the late 70s, probably at Wakefield Unity if memory serves. Godz
Guest melandthensome Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Godzilla I think it was around '77 mate If Im wrong someone will tell us....

Godzilla Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Godzilla I think it was around '77 mate If Im wrong someone will tell us.... Cheers Mel Was it Sam? or were a few people playing it? I've just remembered that I had a record with a blank label that I stuck a Letraset Action Transfer of a blue shark on and stuck it in my sales box for a laugh. Loads of people were like "is that the blue sharks - how much?" What an idiot I used to be Godz
Guest melandthensome Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I cant remember who actually first spun it Godzilla sorry mate at the time I was frequenting the casino and Samanthas as well as other all-nighters.So it could of been anyone at that time......sorry I couldnt be of more help to ya.....too many red n browns mate mel
Godzilla Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 .....too many red n browns mate Is that like Brown and Bitter...
Guest melandthensome Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Just who were THE BLUE SHARKS?
Platters 81 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 this was one of Soul Sams aberrations..about 75/76......he got a fair bit of stick for it as i remember...popular on the dancefloor but not with the record bars......it was crap then and its crap now...imo........
Platters 81 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 incredibly he would play this and then play Jimmy Raye .........
Guest Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Wow - I never realised this 45 was such so contentious!! Thx for all of yr contributions folks - this one is now sold and many thx to everybody for having a lively debate on this... Best...MRez PS - Is it really THAT bad a version? My God!
