Guest in town Mikey Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 ================= most would hate black power but i dont know why meself got a lovely white demo at home but cant play it anywhere? link James Coit was great in its day.

chrissie Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Records that were once massive but no one would dare play out today because they are so terrible. I'll start: THE CHERRY PEOPLE - AND SUDDENLY link Probably about 70% of my boxes from 1974 - which some sod borrowed in about 1982 and i never got back will have to try and rack my brain cell - Paul Fry N Wales where are you I wan't my boxes back!!!! (not for the vinyl but those schweppes crates are hard to get hold of now)
Paul R Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Records that were once massive but no one would dare play out today because they are so terrible. I'll start: THE CHERRY PEOPLE - AND SUDDENLY link At the weekend I bought a cut price CD that had a couple of tracks that I didn't have(on CD). The main reason for buying it was, yes, you got it The Cherry People . and the CD was only £2.99. Also another version of the Sapphires Slow Fizz with alternative lyrics, what's the story? I hadn't heard it before. Paul
Paul R Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Adding to the original thread though. How about Wombat "I'm Gettin' On Life" I remember Chris Bloor from St Helens apparently having one of the only copies at the time. Wouldn't play that again!
Little-stevie Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Always thought James Coit was ok myself,one of the first records i bought and have alaways kept it...It says in the bible(top 500 ) that this tune is no more,would like to hear it out just once more to make my mind up..I have give it a spin at a couple of nights but they were not places where the soul police would go Murial Day..."nine times out of ten"..Now that is a record from the past and for the past..Would like to know if anyone heard it get a play in the last 25 years..Now that is sh"te indeed...
Godzilla Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Records that were once massive but no one would dare play out today because they are so terrible. I'll start: THE CHERRY PEOPLE - AND SUDDENLY link Samantha Jones - Ray of Sunshite I don't think you should allow instrumentals in this thread cos it makes it too easy (Dizzy, Witchunt, all the Sousan stuff etc). Sure will be interesting to see who dare admit their Guilty Pleasures though. I was going to start with Present - "Many's the Slip" but I still have a huge soft spot for that tune. Godz
Pete S Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 =-======= he is black aint he? what about gerry robinson - sugar dumpling on MGM link I never even heard of that...was meant to be records that were once massive - sorry if I missed out on that one

My front room, it's Mr smirnoff and that slapper Stella he brings they always keep wanting to hear it at about 2.30 in the morning.

chrissie Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Hear this played out at least once a month Stevie, still goes down well in places link Heh!! didn't see you at the last gig in my front room!!!!!!
Godzilla Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Astral Trip- Mystic Moods.....ooh that's nasty :angry: link This is what I mean about not counting instrumentals. Astral Trip is a great tune (in a kind of action / adventure theme sort of way) but just has nothing to do with Soul music. Godz
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Elvis - Rubbernekkin. (Was this really poplear)?? On a personal note The Professionals should never be played again, it replaces Epitome of Sound, as the track that gets my 'overplayed-goat'. But after not hearing it for about 10 years, I might not be too annoyed if somebody did play You dont love me, once in a while.
Gary Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Heh!! didn't see you at the last gig in my front room!!!!!! link To be honest there were probably more there than where this got played

I hadn't heard it before. Paul link The alt. vocal came out a good while back and was played on an unissued acetate at Stafford first I think (but don't quote me on that) and then via a CD import, which I brought and still have of the sapphires greatest hits (and obviously the unissued acetate!) Great version that i spin every now and then at the Plinston to much scratching of heads
chrissie Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 To be honest there were probably more there than where this got played link Yeh three of us, Me, Mr Smirnoff and Stella (Artois) - the slapper, all was well until Stella got all girlie and wanted "It May Be Winter Outside" Felice Taylor, Mr Smirnoff kept demanding "The Snake" (which i only have on a compilation - honest) so I played it he did a spin and then a back drop knocked his head on the telly and that was the end of that - said that venue had a crap DJ.
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) Samantha Jones - Ray of Sunshite I was going to start with Present - "Many's the Slip" but I still have a huge soft spot for that tune. Godz link Still love both of these, and given a few glasses of ale, would possibly dance. Always associate Present with the Oddfellows. Maybe because its on the Leicester video. Dang! dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah dah,... Is it stuck in yer head yet? Edited March 29, 2005 by in town Mikey

Godz link Ah, didn't read your bit about instrumentals-good point as most are crap and/or not soul music (IMO of course, this is a democracy..) OkayI'll go for Gentlemen and their Lady-Like her ( both the vocal and the instrumental versions..).

chrissie Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Quality I've got a Bsc in love-ology Only record I ever requested at Yate. link Seek therapy, I'm sure it's only a form of chauvinism by proxy and can be cured!!

Serves me right, I suppose link Ah, I bet you got up tho didn't ya? If I'd known you liked it I'd have let you have my copy-unfortunately I gave it to Chris Carr a couple of months ago as he said it reminded him of trips to space
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Seek therapy, I'm sure it's only a form of chauvinism by proxy and can be cured!! link I did go for therapy, but some Richard was sat in the room. I noticed she wasnt doing the hoovering, so I told her to fetch me a cheese sandwich, and on the way back, tidy herself up a bit. Didnt see anyone else and still they sent me a bill the size of the Ivory Coast's national debt.

In science as love as a kid, I have an IQ of 100. Took me ages to figure out what he was on about. Needn't have bothered really. On a separate note - Rita Dacosta - Don't bring me down. That record most certainly does bring you down
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Lucky Charms - Tied to your heart Main Change ? - Sunshine is her way link Is everybody going to choose records from my Northern Soul top 500??

On a separate note - Rita Dacosta - Don't bring me down. That record most certainly does bring you down link You're right. I was trying to hear it in my head, but a colleague was explaining how she hung her washing out last night. It hasnt stopped raining all day here in South Wales. I was glossing over (It took her about 15 minutes to tell the story) and trying to sing the song to myself at the same time.

Pete S Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 Lucky Charms - Tied to your heart keith Jewels - Togetherness Main Change ? - Sunshine downright nasty...... link Glad I missed out when that Lucky Charms was being played...have to say I have a soft spot for The Jewels myself, reminds me of some of best ever nights at Wigan at a time when I could keep up with it easily, although as a record it's a bit of a row. Keith made a few good pop records and there's a good beat ballad on the B side of one of his UK mercury singles. Finally Main Change, never heard this out but it's irritatingly catchy, shame about the bit in the middle.
Pete S Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 Elvis - Rubbernekkin. (Was this really poplear)?? link I've never known it to be popular or ever heard it played. The first I ever heard of it was way back in about 1976 when John Manship had it on one of his UK lists and referred to it as a Torch spin. A lot of records get started that way...

How about Wombat "I'm Gettin' On Life" I remember Chris Bloor from St Helens apparently having one of the only copies at the time. Wouldn't play that again! link Yeah probably never hear that get played again, I like it but only because it reminds me of the 'early days' and our youth club where it was played off an emidisc...Catacombs monster
