Guest Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) I listend to some tunes today and it struck me that Garfield Fleming "Don't Send me Away" is very similar in many ways to "I Got It" only, dare I say it, a better and more soulful tune IMO. I think they should have gone for a more serious and moodier approach with Tolbert instead of that 'happy happy' easy sound that the girlie vocals and "The Hustle" bits create. It's good, but doesn't really grab me and it could have been much better if they had followed my advice. Gotta build myself a time machine it seems. Edited March 24, 2005 by Guest

Only on the soul scene is telling the truth a crime!! link No joking mate, I have had three calls from Her Majesty's finest Soul Police this afternoon making "enquiries". I gather that the matter has now "fast tracked" up the chain of command to Deputy Commissioner Barnfather no less, who in turn has demanded written statements be on his desk by 09.00 Tuesday, in time for his next submission to "Manifesto". Can't say I didn't warn you there.

As discussed in that other thread a week or so back, thinking it was late sixties promted a "yeah it's allright" response. We then found out it was early seventies. Edited March 27, 2005 by Ian Sims

Many 'old modern' sounds were played at Wigan and other northern venues in the late 70's and early 80's (at least that is what I have been told by older and wiser people), and to my ears they are basically northern, at least as far as the beat is concerned.
Guest Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 wow Pete big of you to admit it How old's Mel britt (the record)? I know it's 70s, but just how 70s? link Not sure, but I think Mel Britt is from 1971, which makes it 34 years old, practically a new release.
Steve G Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Not sure, but I think Mel Britt is from 1971, which makes it 34 years old, practically a new release. link I thought it was more late 60's judging my the matrix number But I could be wrong - I have been wrong on this tricky thread once before. So Pete S would presumably also like things like the Aristocrats, in fact the uptempo "Mecca" type sound, when the Mecca was "cutting edge". Good, I thought for one moment that anything post 1969 was "condemned", I am glad it isn't.

That way it stays within the definition of a "soul" record, which it most certainly is.

Simsy Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 God yes. OK just to stop you keep asking me about this, some 70's tunes I liked/like Indeed, have antagonised you enough Mr Smith. Just low grade banter, nothing more. With a 'the only good modern record is etc..' signature is a bit of a statement on here and well you know as I do those seventies sounds that sound a bit sixties and so on. I wonder truly though how grey the area is between seventies northern soul and modern northern soul? Soul Joe Clements - Ever Ever (PLEXIUM) 1969. Now that's a lick just before the seventies but by golly there's no mistaking that for that modern rubbish. Big void between the best dancers, 6t's up tempo beat and seventies/modern shuffling nonsense.
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Pete if only i had listened to you earlier i would have saved myself the effort and expense of going up to an Orwell yesterday, thereby missing one of this years best events by far, i really should listen to your opinion more often and the do the exact opposite You tasteless git even the boy Jordi did all right
