RobP Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 The Precisions - If This is love (I'd rather be lonely) What an intro, pure magic.
Guest kev such Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Melba Moore - Magic touch First real northern track i ever heard in 1982. When i hear it i just stop and think THANKS, for getting me started in this amazing way of life. Thanks for reminding me iks. Regards Kev Such
RobP Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Hi Kev, I was going to make reference to the RE in my above post (battling to the dance floor, first in and last out etc) but held back.

Soulfool Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 The Intro's - Stop, Look, Listen - worth a mention, but best of the lot - The Magnetics - Lady In Green

Colin Wood Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Four Sonics - Easier Said Than Done, one of my all time fav intros and top atmospheric toon. Usually gets a spin in my set when I'm DJing. Another goodie Rotations - I Can't Find Her. Colin.
Chalky Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 The Mello Souls - We can make it - Mello. Not only has it a great intro but then crash bang wallop into one of the best Northern Soul records of all time.
Rbman Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) I must agree with a couple of others...Landslide has a fantastic intro but i also love the start to Sweeter Than The Day Before, The Valentinos..............Ooooooooooooooooooaaaaargh Edited April 8, 2007 by Rbman

Guest Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) two from me,the gypsies,its a woman s world and the nomads,somethings bad... Just a few that , when I first heard the intros of them , I knew my auditory senses were in for a treat ..... The Invitations " Skiing In The Snow " Bob Relf " Blowing My Mind To Pieces " Chuck Wood " Seven Days Too long " Tony Clarke " Landslide " Roy Hamilton " Crackin' Up Over You " Spellbinders " Help Me " Impressions " You've Been Cheatin' " Little Anthony " Better Use Your Head " Lou Johnson " Unsatisfied " Billy Butler " Right Track " J J Barnes " Please Let Me In " Jerry Cook " I Hurt On The Other Side " Frankie & Johnny " I'll Hold You " The Sapphires " Gotta Have Your Love " Yvonne Baker " You Didn't Say A Word " Malc Burton Edited April 8, 2007 by Malc Burton
Guest Dirk Tiggler Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 There's tons & tons to choose from but I'll go for Jimmy Frazier - Of hopes & dreams & tombstones (only 5 second intro but it gets me on the floor in a instant) then something of a longer intro, Youngblood Smith - You can split. I reckon the O'Jays have had more memorable intro's than most but I'll stick with the two I've mentioned - Happy Easter Ade
