Simon T Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have a copy of it, but have never seen it on any playlist and have never played it out myself. Never played because you don't think it fits a dance floor? What genre is it, soul or funk or what? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Never played because you don't think it fits a dance floor? What genre is it, soul or funk or what? Haven't really had the chance to play it out, plus it sounds a bit messy to my ears. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Here's a soundclip: I've never heard that before. I've heard a lot worse played out. Similar stuff to this used to be played out in the late seventies early nineties. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I've never heard that before. I've heard a lot worse played out.

KevH Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Played it at The ATTIC ,not everyone's cup of rosie,but like been said,,heard a lot worse.On the funky side of Northern and yes,a bit messy,but i like it!!!.KEV. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve Plumb Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Anyone familiar with the record 'What do It Mean' by BoB Smith & The Boo-Kou's on Boo Kou? Has it been played out? TIA I think it may have got a spin or two at Stafford? If i remember rightly, Gaz Kellett recommended it to me in the mid/late 80's! There's a funky dancer on the B side too! Sorry for the blatant plug (well, no I'm not really ) but there's one on me site www.soulmusic.co.uk/rarities.htm Cheers Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pomonkey Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It's well-known (and cheap) on the funk scene, definitely funk as opposed to northern. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
franz Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Played this a few times at the Hip City here in Berlin in the past. I like it too (obviously), a tad messy indeed. But great in a way, IMO. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kev Connellan Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 this got played regularly in the early days of NMD. great choon. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes good old Gaz recommended it to me years ago at Westhoughton CC. Got one somewhere or may have sold it - have tried it out a few years ago but didn't really do owt. Not a bad tune though Cheers Phil Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
