Like I said it's always personal and it's only your own taste that counts (and I'm always wrong ) BTW I really like 'love Your Love Is Fading' and 'Your Love Won't Let Me Be' by Lou so it's not about him at all just the choon - I'm trying to slowly back away from the naughty step Martyn.

Guest Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Well I've never rated Lou Lawton's 'Knick Knack, Patty Wack' I'd like to forget it. My forgotten gem - there's a few but narrowing down to two I'll select Sharlotte Shaw's 'Say it to me' and this one by Marvins Sims. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Clee93 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) Think this is a pretty cool little question... Personally can't stand Judy Street - What (soz.) & I've been playing the flip of Nev Wherry's old spin from Cleethorpes & Sheffield KGB, Flamma Sherman - Where is he, for ages now. I don't even know if its really ever been played cos I'm too young to know. Properly off kilt for traditionalists I'd imagine but is a power dancer once it gets going that hardly anyone I've spoken to knows... Surely this must have been played at the Pier & the Winter Gardens??? I think its hardly known cos it has a 45 second intro and a long outro which might have put people off playing it out.

Personally, I think Judy Street & Where is he by Flamma are same type of crap, they both lack any edge and just sound like dodgy pop. Is the side i've linked the one you're referring to as terrible or the side Nev used to play, out of interest? The flip on the Flamma tune that I’ve posted is absolute overlooked quality though in my eyes. I will say once ‘Where Is He' gets going, albeit not very good... It does have more merit to my ears than Judy Street ever has. Edited September 13, 2023 by Clee93 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I remember seeing it at £5 on discogs, then a week later cheapest was at £20. Loads of good cheapies get overlooked, all of the time.

Greedy Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I'm really enjoying reading people's replies to this thread. I've always said that if everyone enjoyed the same records that it would be like listening to the same lp,tape,cd on permanent repeat very very boring. And whilst talking too quickly often outside a niter at 3am I've often said that for some reason every record will have its time and place on the scene. Like Judy Street was mentioned. And we can all think of a tune that would make us run to the dance floor at 2.00 o,clock in the morning and dance our arses off to, whether in the 70s 80s 90s 0r 2000s. But now we would cringe to hear now. The one record that I could easily forget was one I bought as a cover up.it was Gary Rushbrookes, lord Sitar and the Boltimore Marching Band. For some reason I have never sold it . Not played it for about 30 years, but it makes me cringe when I hear it. And as for the forgotten I love to hear things I haven't heard of for years, and when you hear them they bring back the Time and place and emotions you were feeling at that Moment... my current one is the O Jay's, I'm so glad I found you. Takes me back to being a 12/13 year old and dancing to it at school disco's on a Friday night 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
