I won't vote on it though. What about 'Along comes mary' 'Baja Marimba Band'.
Steve G Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Another Mr Levine special L J Johnson - Your Magic Put A Spell On Me. How fast was that???!!!! link Can we not dismiss all of the "Levine" productions? A couple were "reasonable covers" such as Johnny Bristol "Man up in the sky", but by and large as a genre we could largely write them off - couldn't we?

Guest Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 you may think that the records mentioned in previous threads as garbage.But i can say that current records like kenny thomas frank barlow and a host of modern and r/b are just as bad or if not worse.Probably thats why alot of people are off the northern scene is because they dont play tunes like wombat/babe ruth/destination unknown e.t.c .Everybodys different.
Steve G Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Come on then tell what Nsoul is then,yes i do like rock records this aint one of em,come back Ken link Not feeling inclined to open up that old "Pandoras box" about what is / isn't "Nsoul" at this time of day. Glad someone likes it though, and I bet Pete S probably does too - I just don't class it as "credible" for the rare soul scene, and I don't think I am alone. Thought it was a joke when I first heard it at "Wigan" in 1980 - my opinion has never changed on it....God I hope it's not in the process of being "revived"

Thought it was a joke when I first heard it at "Wigan" in 1980 - my opinion has never changed on it....God I hope it's not in the process of being "revived" link Yeah I love it but hand on heart I had no idea it had been played as 'northern', I have it as a garage punk record and one of the best, especially the organ solo must be a Russ spin! But yes, great record, not a northern sound though
Steve G Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 fantastic record! link I have one somewhere, I'll give it another listen based on your expression.
Guest Soultown andy Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Rubber kneckin played at casino 1979 by Dave Evison,it was also Dave that started to spin Lightnin strikes,brave lad our dave .
Pete S Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 I have one somewhere, I'll give it another listen based on your expression. link I think a lot of these records don't stand up in the cold light of day - but when you used to hear them played out, loud, they took on a different guise altogether. I mean, you couldn't listen to something like Broadway Cissy at home because it's a mess and doesn't make sense, but at Wigan it sounded incredible..
Steve G Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 fantastic record! link I've just "relistened" to the Del Rays Inc again for the first time in years and "reappraised" it. Don't agree that it's "fantastic", but I do wish to "delete" it from my previous list, as it's not bad. Is this allowable?
Steve G Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Rubber kneckin played at casino 1979 by Dave Evison,it was also Dave that started to spin Lightnin strikes,brave lad our dave . link He has played some most "bizarre" records Andy - "Paint it black" was also one of his "finer moments in soul" I seem to recall.....as I recoiled in horror from the hallowed Wigan dancefloor at 7.15 one Sunday morning....but we cannot mention that, as it is an instrumental.

Ged Parker Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I think there are so many brilliant records that could never make a come back. Most of them because they have never gone away. Sometimes, no strike that - all the time I wish some of them would disapear for 5 or so years then perhaps they would elicit the special responce that I get when I hear some fantastic tune I'd nearly forgotten
Guest martyn Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I think a lot of these records don't stand up in the cold light of day - but when you used to hear them played out, loud, they took on a different guise altogether. I mean, you couldn't listen to something like Broadway Cissy at home because it's a mess and doesn't make sense, but at Wigan it sounded incredible.. link I listen to Broadway Cissy at home,played it earlier.I mean, where else am I likely to hear it (or astral trip,The Jewels,Babe Ruth et al)?
Guest the dukester Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 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... link M.DAY PLAYED AT SOUL 99 SCARBOROUGH FEB EVENT 2005, WAS IT CHRIS KING, YOGI, MICK OR ADY???
