billb Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Surely no one is actually considering playing this out are they? Or are they already? I'm not judgin' it but it got played on Friday at Denton and filled the floor
Guest ScooterNik Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Surely no one is actually considering playing this out are they? Or are they already? Original 7" vinyl...... sounds like the marketing division are on the ball at EMI or wherever?
Guest Gogs Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I'm not judgin' it but it got played on Friday at Denton and filled the floor i bought a copy but thought i might wait 10 years or so to play it out, may just change my mind
Guest edsuede Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 have you seen this https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUFFY-mercy-7-Vinyl-...1QQcmdZViewItem there are at least 3 buy it now copies on at £1.75 Wonder why the bidders didn't just order it from their local record shop like I did - £2.99 and came in on the day of release. Perhaps the bidders don't have a local record shop that can get vinyl - certainly (in my experience anyway) alot of the national chains like HMV won't even order vinyl for you now! When I collected my copy last week I did get a buzz buying a brand new chart 45 in the 21st century! Never expected to be doing that!
Guest Rob Glover Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I'm not judgin' it but it got played on Friday at Denton and filled the floor We've have been playing it @ The Buzz for the past 2 months (got a nice promo 7" sent us) and it fills the floor everytime. Still the average age of the crowd is somewhat younger than most events I admit. Don't knock it just because it's new and not recorded in a chicken shack back in 67' The Buzz Feb 2008
Ian Dewhirst Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 have you seen this https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUFFY-mercy-7-Vinyl-...1QQcmdZViewItem there are at least 3 buy it now copies on at £1.75 There's a huge business in supplying stuff that some of us can easily get to others who cannot get stuff quite so easily. Plenty of people now live in towns with no record shops and many shops no longer stock vinyl so it seems like a good idea to me. Also, we're now living in an age when it costs more to go to the shops with petrol, parking, queues, traffic violations, parking enforcement plus the time, so for many people it makes more sense to just stay at home and get the stuff delivered to their door. Less stress all round. Best, Ian D

Gone are the days of browsing and picking up something you werent expecting and finding that something extra special

Best, Ian D totally agree with you but the point i was trying to make was why pay £10.50 when other sellers had it a lot cheaper or are the days of "shopping around" a thing of the past.
Simsy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I'm not judgin' it but it got played on Friday at Denton and filled the floor Bloody hell, there's 'across the board' but that's stretching it!

vaultofsouler Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 maybe we should name and shame .... Don't know who by.... was just told of the venue in Notts.... The person realised what he'd told me and became a little sheepish about being there ....
Stuart Bower Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 .... Don't know who by.... was just told of the venue in Notts.... The person realised what he'd told me and became a little sheepish about being there .... Went down to a Notts venue last Sat night Mark-didn`t hear it there..Mind you, we did arrive around 8.30..
vaultofsouler Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Went down to a Notts venue last Sat night Mark-didn`t hear it there..Mind you, we did arrive around 8.30.. T'was week or two before Stuart.... but if it's the "next big thing" for the area.... you never know for next time pal ....
Spacehopper Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 wasnt there but understand from a mate it filled the floor at a night in northampton too... as for ebay buyers being thick often see new bootlegs going for more than dealers are selling them....also samantha jones pic sleeve was 20 odd last week when jm has it for about 15 i think...
Ged Parker Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Was played at the last Preston Grasshoppers to a good reaction from the floor I've been told.

Chalky Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Don't knock it just because it's new and not recorded in a chicken shack back in 67' The Buzz Feb 2008 because it's not new and recorded in a chicken shack is why I got into Soul and Northern Soul not records that are number one in the pop charts....two or three venues on here I won't be going to in the near future Edited March 11, 2008 by chalky

KevH Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Was told over the weekend that it also got a play at a Notts 1 or 2 weeks back .... Some people .... But apart from the buyers what about these "players" .... thank god we were not on ,1 or 2 weeks back Mark .You should know Notts is the hotbed for hotboxing,and i thought Notts would get the blame for something,not been blamed for at least........oooh...3 weeks . See you soon MARK,BUT WON'T BE BRINGING DUFFY.(IS AMY OK THO'? )
Wrongcrowd Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 wasnt there but understand from a mate it filled the floor at a night in northampton too... Certainly not on the play lists for Creative..... .....it doesn't belong there. Not being judegemental.....each to their own
Guest woznotwos Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 ......theres another good tune out aswell, bit harder to get hands on but check out gabriella cilmi , sweet about me..........i prefer this one to the duffy track .........................i'll get mi coat
Paul Shirley Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 It was new when I first heard it in 1966 and it got to number one in the pop charts and it's probably why I got into soul? Four Tops - Reach out I'll be there but I'm still not judgin' I'm gone, man, solid gone." couldent agree more mate i first heard aretha franklin back in 69 or somthing like that with loads more top soul singers that charted they where new then or new to me aniway, if a record sounds good on its own merits i couldent give a monkeys that its not been discoverd by some tw,, trying to make a fortune out of it put it this way if amy winehouse had been around in 1967 making exactly the same records as she is now every bugger would be dancing to them now on this scene
Paul Shirley Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 and just for the record am not that keen on it ` lol

Four Tops - Reach out I'll be there but I'm still not judgin' I'm gone, man, solid gone." If I wanted to hear pop records like D*ffy I'd go to local night club. If I wanted to hear Reach Out I'll Be There (again middle of the road pop) I'd listen to radio 2!!! There are 100's of great real soul and northern soul records from the 60's to the present day that many ignore for the likes of pop crap like Duffy
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I have a copy but won't play it out and if you have to pay more on ebay for one why if you know your local store can get it cheaper. HMV here in Peterborough stock all new releases on vinyl usually £1.99 and have some back stock copies of older songs ie 6 months old etc. Not sure how it is for ordering vinyl though

Very few James B records I listen to and I don't know when Spencer Davis was last played at a Northern venue and to be honest it shouldn't be, it's not what I want to hear anyway. And Duffy wasn't recorded in 1975 so it's all hypothetical really. Said what I want to say, this is just going round in circles.

Duffy is a good Lulu sound-alike with a nice enough soul tinged pop track - but that's all - let's get things in perspective.
Prophonics 2029 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 IMO nothing like Lulu. I hear she is Shaking Steven's daughter? so whats next Green Door 2008.
Ernie Andrews Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 on a serious note there are some great new records that are played out. One is - Tuomo , Dont take it to hard. Came out last year but absolutely brilliant. If your basing it on that its in the chartsd then we shouldnt play most motown records or Landslide or many others including b-sides of major hits
Guest Gogs Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 another case of madness https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NORTHERN-SOUL-ISLEY-...1QQcmdZViewItem Mr Manship has it for a tenner

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 There is no connection to Shakin Stevens with Duffy. it's rumours. maybe they are friends or has some connection she goes out with a family member but they are not related. Duffy is pop music and why should we put her in the same line as someone like James Brown, Jackie Wilson and so on who are soul singers. It not matter weather if they have had charted hits before and sometimes appeal to a mass audience they are still soul singers
Spanner Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I don't think I am missing the point, not my point anyway you and others are IMHO by resorting to chart records that have absolutely sod all to do with northern soul apart from the use of dancers and a dj to warm thew crowds up when there are loads of good recortds totally ignored from the 60's to the present day that should be played instead of resorting to chart dross.
