Northern Soul Uk Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Just skipping through my Soul albums and came across this one that i haven't listened to for years. There are 2 tracks that stand out apart from the quite well known 'I only get this feeling', and they are 'Just a little tear' and 'I can't break away' 'Just a little tear' is an excellent Northern track, and 'I can't break away' is a little more funky, but still excellent. I also pulled out the 'Miracles' album 'City of angels', In my opinion one of the best albums ever made, so much feeling in the tunes, and the first track on the album 'Oveture' is out of this world and I'm sure it was played at the Mecca? Let me know if you have heard any of these tracks. Thanks Edited March 6, 2008 by steveluigi Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Let em know if you have heard any of these tracks. Thanks Any chance of a soundbite ? Got a few Chuck Jackson LP's but not that one. Got IOGTF on single & always prefered his version over Dee Irwin's. Agree about Overture was listening to the LP the other day, great one to sit & listen to, sort of a story isn't it. Another track from that era that i played the other day & forgot how much i liked it was 'The Hostage' 1st track on side 1 of Harold Melvin's 'Reaching For The World' album Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I used to have a cassette tape in my car with this LP on one side and the whispers "bingo" LP on the other side and I wore it out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Girthdevon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The title track of the Chuck Jackson LP is a 100% classic two stepper and widely collected for it !! Girf Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Glynn Jones Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I used to have this a looong time ago. I remember I Can't Breakaway was the theme tune to Boone sang by Maggie Bell? Liked a few tracks on this. Just a little Tear was my fave. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jim G Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I used to own this album also Ref the Miracles, Overture was played at he Casino aslo at the same time as Love Machine Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Northern Soul Uk Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) I used to own this album also Ref the Miracles, Overture was played at he Casino aslo at the same time as Love MachineThanks for that, I used to go to the casino and the Mecca round about the same time so that's where the confusion might be. The Oveture track is a monster inst' and def should be getting played again. I absolutely adore the strings section in it, amazing! When I listened to it today after probably 20 years, the hairs on the back of my neck literally stood on end. Top feeling that. Has the Chuck Jackson track ever been played out does anyone know? and if so where and how big it was? Edited March 6, 2008 by steveluigi Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 From the City OF Angels LP, I've always found this camp Latin opus a nice little novelty for some reason. I never said a word, Patrick. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Northern Soul Uk Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) waldo roderick dehammersmith is a great track off city of angels, talk about crap title great song, please someone upload it for our pleasure Great tune, and what about 'My name is Michael'? I think every track on the album is excellent and very atmospheric and there is a story to the whole album. Definately Motown at it's finest (disco) hour. I have listened to the whole album over and over through the years and it still makes me close my eyes and imagine what's happening thoughout the tracks. Even the slow tempo 'Poor Charlotte' is amazing. Overall a stunning piece of musicology and anyone who hasn't heard the album should strive to find a copy immediately. 10/10. Here is one on EBay and there are loads on there, Treat yourselves to some awe inspiring music. City of angels If you buy one and haven't heard it yet, listen to it and let me know your thoughts on this thread. If there is any justice, the thread should run for years.

Mike Lofthouse Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Would it be on the 'Probe' label then as that is what the album is on? Back to back on the same UK Probe 45 to boot. The album also has his version of 'Take Of your Make Up' does it not? great stuff Mike Edited March 7, 2008 by Mike Lofthouse Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest andyrattigan Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 A mate of mine in Ireland has this album. I was trying to get him to sell it to me for ages. The bigger wouldnt budge. Dont blame him great album. Think he paid $1 or 2 for it in the states. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve Plumb Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Back to back on the same UK Probe 45 to boot.
