Guest Russ Smith Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Black Power.... When did you last hear this played out ? Also, is there any truth in the rumour that James T is playing it covered up?
Guest martinsbox Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Black Power.... When did you last hear this played out ? Also, is there any truth in the rumour that James T is playing it covered up? Phoof . . . years ago. A record from my teens.
Guest Matt Male Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Remember this from youth club days. I know the L looks like an I on the label Russ but isn't it James Colt not Coit? Lots of these youth club sounds could do with a revisit, Mickey Lee Lane - Hey-Sah-Lo-Ney anyone? Edited July 5, 2007 by Matt Male
Wiganer1 Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Remember this from youth club days. I know the L looks like an I on the label Russ but isn't it James Colt not Coit? Lots of these youth club sounds could do with a revisit, Mickey Lee Lane - Hey-Sah-Lo-Ney anyone? ===== ive always liked black power got a lovely white demo in my Wigan box.... did a topic on this once on SS.. still the one record that gets the 'stompers' going!!
Tomangoes Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 It went absolute massive in its short life, one of those played 5 or 6 times a night along with Cal Tjader - Soul Sauce, oh and Dust my broom, and shake a tail feather, and bread and water and..........................oh I will be here all day if this carries on. James Coi(l)t, deffoe a soul pack toon, that got rejected first time round, then again so did 'of hopes and dreams' etc. Glad they got picked up eventually, hardly very soulfull but gets the toes tapping. Imagine a blue eyed soul artist singing 'White Power', they would be in jail by now. Ed
Guest in town Mikey Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 I always thought it was Coit with an i. Too fast for us old guys today?

Markw Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Black Power.... When did you last hear this played out ? Also, is there any truth in the rumour that James T is playing it covered up? So, is James playing this?
Guest rachel Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Black Power.... When did you last hear this played out ? New Century Nighter, Manchester, Boxing Day 2005.
grant Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Phoof . . . years ago. A record from my teens. remember the 1st time it got spun at wigan - think it was RS - absolutely superb, everyone was raving about it
Boogaloo Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 So, is James playing this? I bloody hope not. It was rubbish then and it's still bloody rubbish now. Even if it is a very catchy tune. I'd put it into the same category as Lover 'Delights' - catchy. yeah but soul, never. Only difference between the two.......... about £700
okehgaz Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Memory playing tricks or was "black power" always followed by Joe Tex "you better believe it"?
Boogaloo Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Memory playing tricks or was "black power" always followed by Joe Tex "you better believe it"? Probably followed with Tim Tam and the Turnons. Ohhhhh, happy days, eh?
Guest Ste Brazil Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Black Power.... When did you last hear this played out ? Also, is there any truth in the rumour that James T is playing it covered up? I played it in a Funk set to a load of younger studenty types at a club in York a year or so ago, they loved it! I first heard it at our local (predominantly) Mod youth club at the start of the eighties...you can get it for about £2.00, the original or the re-issue! Ste.
Guest Ste Brazil Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 not my cup of tea........ Not really mine either, although still have a bit of a soft spot for it - probaly never play it again, yours for a tenner if anybody wants it! Ste.
Pete S Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 remember the 1st time it got spun at wigan - think it was RS - absolutely superb, everyone was raving about it I think it was Keith Minshull who played it first - as Warren said, at exactly the same time as Tim Tam and James Coit. I think he originally played Tim Tam as a joke as he originally dedicated it to Lewi (this one specially for Lewi - just asked me for it) who was a regular (from Runcorn or Warrington I think) and no doubt hated it

I think it's awful and deserves a good mashing up with a hammer - "Pete Carstairs Stylee"
Baz Atkinson Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 THE FLIP IS BLOOMING GREAT ,FAB MEMORIES OF BLACK POWER.STILL LIKE TO LISTEN TO IT NOW AND AGAIN. BAZ A
Pete S Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Pete Out of interest do you like this? I think it's awful and deserves a good mashing up with a hammer - "Pete Carstairs Stylee" God no, it's sh*t
Guest gibber Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 This was my first ever white Demo. Cost me all of my paper round money at the time £4.
Guest Matt Male Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 I always thought it was Coit with an i. I think you're right and i was wrong. Just typed both into google and Coit vs. Colt is about 5 to 1. No definitive answer though. Just spent the last 29 years thinking it was Colt
arnie j Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 id defo buy an original at the right price, anyone selling let me know please
Guest Trevski Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) "M'gowa black powa!" Just listened to this again, after 20 odd yrs... Still as s**t as I remembered! Edited July 6, 2007 by Trevski
