Guest Brian Ellis Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Always had difficulties with instumentals. Sure enough some have a good 'Northern' beat, but soul is something quite different in my view. Has no one mentioned the feckin' Bruvvers, or Eddie Bishop? - oh dear !

macca Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I don't see anything wrong at all with instrumentals. connie clarke my sugar baby used to bring on that unmistakeable buzz at the back of the head. audrey slo on swan was a real floorpacker at the fleet, loughborough, coalville etc. I reckon instrumentals need a major rebranding campaign. admittedly, there was a lot of dross played, especially thru 78, but the wheel, torch & early wigan period ushered in some true scene classics. what I don't understand is this business that it can't be soul if it ain't got a vocal. tell that to the funk brothers or the meters!!

Guest andyrattigan Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Johnny Gibson Trio- Beachcomber Watts 103rd st rhythm band- Brown Sugar Frankie Crocker- Ton of Dynamite Van Mccoy- Sweet and Easy to love Bob Wilson and the San Remo quartet- All turned on Soulvation Army Band- Dancing on a daydream JR Walker & All Stars - Walk in the Night
Maria O Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Maria O played a great one at Boomerang last week and new to me (although I think she said at the time that she had played the wrong side ) The Rotations - (Put A Nickel On) D-9 [instrumental] (Frantic) Yes, well it was my 40th birthday - so considering a lot of my records were thrown in backwards in haste, I did well under the influence of Guiness. I thought it was funny, but Karen gave me a bollocking for admitting my mistake on the mic I don't tend to like instrumentals, but one I keep meaning to throw on early doors is: Movin' On - Larry Brown & Co. It's the flip and instrumental of "Call On Me" by The Dynells on Vent - and good enough to stand on its own (imho). m

Benelew Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Just been reading the post by wiganer1 on the valerie&bobby capers track, although its been touched on before on this site i`m sure, it would be intresting to know your views on instrumentals, and which are your favourite tracks, personally i love em and one of my fav`s is FRANK FOSTER-HARLEM RUMBLE,whats yours? Come on Harry, we all know you're a closet Andre Brasseur & his multisound organ fan!

Northern Soul Uk Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) I have always loved instrumentals both to dance to and to listen to. My favorites are; Van McCoy - Sweet and easy Earl Wright - Thumb a ride Mike Post - Afternoon on the Rhino, and Bubblegum breakthrough San Remo Strings - All turned on Doni Burdick - Bari track Magic disco machine - Control tower (who were they)? and last but definately not least Luthor Ingram - Exus trek (was he part of the large 'Ingram' family that also produced jazz funk in the 80s?)
