Tunes You Dont Like


Recommended Posts

Baby Sugar I love You - Prince Ella & Sydney Jones on Prince.

Sam used hammer this back in 76 & it used to drive me crazy.

Played it off the NS Story Vol 8 the other night & thought bugger me, it's not that bad. A real tub thumper.

Has this record remained rare?

I don't care for any version of the old Peggy Lee "standard" FEVER (Little Willie John) - whether it's her version, Jazz-Funk (Ronnie Laws), Latin (La Lupe), Reggae (Keith 'Junior' Byles or Susan Cadogan) or indeed, LWJ's original :lol:

Thats just f**ked up. How can you not like LWJ's original? :lol:

I sold one last year for 250 or 300 quid, though it books at 500 or so, doubt if anyone would get that for it

Ketty Lester- Some things are better left unsaid

(Or as I used to call it SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNPLAYED)

and I know its sacrilege to say this but I hate DOUG BANKS- I JUST KEPT ON DANCING.

I liked it for years and then one day I heard it and I just hated it and have ever since.

His voice really annoys me and for some reason it has a country kind of feel to it.Not my bag.

another overated pile of pants is ARIN DEMAIN- SILENT TREATMENT

Each to their own!

Do you realise that's an entire nights play list at some Soul nights?? :P:D

The Flasher by Mistura ft Lloyd Michaels. When I first heard it I almost throw my iPod away. WTF is this thing and how did it ever got played on the northern scene??? Then I listened to it over and over again. I love it now. Actually, when I always play it to people who doesn't know anything about northern soul and they love it to.

If I ever make a movie, that's definitely gonna be in the soundtrack :D

Bloody i-pod?? If we'd have thrown our recording machines away, we'd have killed someone, them personal tape recorders were bigger than house bricks!!!! Youth today, you don't know your born!! :D:D

Agree with Joe, most are just over exposed & so sound tired, hide 'em away in a darked room for a couple of years & they'll sound fresh again, unless it's R&B then just leave 'em hidden away in a darkened room, fullstop. :lol:

Take care,be safe & don't go downstairs at Middleton, It's EVIL,

Patience Valentine..If you don't come or whatever it's called...brrrrrrrrr ph34r.gif:lol::P And that will never grow on me!

I didn't used to like Barbara Mason that much.....I know!!! And now I've come to realise that it's probably one of the best records I'll ever hear. I don't know why I didn't take to it originally, I think I thought it was a bit tinny and one dimensional. And then one day I heard it out at a venue and it sounded like Northern Soul really should - lots of stops and starts, a great vocal and a fantastic melody. Great stuff :D :D

I didn't like Roger Hatcher - Sweetest Girl in The World. Couldn't understand why mates had paid thirty five quid for it, which was the going rate at the time. Thought it to be repetative twee crap. However over the years I mellowed on it and found a soulfulness that I hadn't appreciated before.

L Allen - Can't We Talk It Over. This took a few years to grow on me - "tell me tell me tell me" Oh give over! laugh.gif

The thread that Joan initiated about playing records you don't like had a few titles dotted around but how about you didn't like either at first hearing or even for ages but then you had a change of heart perhaps. To kick it off:

Tear Stained Face - Don Varner

Didn't like this from the day I first heard it (think it was the Casino) until many years later when Mark Bicknell played the original at home on his hi-fi and I heard the 'farting' background horns for probably the first time. It was clean and undistorted and sounded fabulous and I absolutely love it now.

Mick

Troy Doods - Try my love. Didn't get it, don't get it, will never get it, break or burn every copy.

Chris L :yes:

I don't know why.

On the Northern side, the first tune that springs to mind which has me reaching for the switch is Don Thomas's COME ON TRAIN

I can only assume you've not heard the Chicago Cubs version 'Pennant Fever' on Chess (IIRC, can't be bothered going looking, may be Cadet?). Stay well clear.

still cant satnd jackie day naughty boy- so f-ing boring.

Facinations - girls are out to get you, always thought this was utter turd, herd it on a decent sound system, completly different record!

with regard to the four vandalls, i was not around on the scene when ther was some sort of issue with this record being an undiscoverd record from the 6ts........dont want to piss on anyones chips, but how did anyone think that this record was actualy any good, and an original......it sounds terrible, so obvious modern recording techniques were used....dont get it AT ALL???

heartache souvenirs?? my good, this is one of the best records ever.........

Rosemary (What Happend) - Richard (Popcorn) Wylie

the epitome of absolute cack

look up the word 'cack' in the dictionary and you will find 'Rosemary (What Happend) - Richard (Popcorn) Wylie' as an example

now I will probably have some idiot tell me that I am 'probably on the wrong site' & that I don't like soul music :ph34r:

35 quid??? OMG I think I payed a lickle more... It's a lovely track, so I won't get upset over what I paid for it

Jock Mitchell´s "Not a chance in a Million" on Impact

I used to hate this when I first heard from a tape, it dindn´t sound Soul to me, until I first heard it in played at the 100 club and was absolutely trapped by it, I love it since....this would bring another good topic: records that sound awful at home or car, in a CD or MP3 player, but are brilliant in the right place: allnighter/soul night, with a good sound system and high volume...

When I first heard Prophecy's 'Rain In My Life' I thought it was awful - the gasping delivery sounded like Marvin Gaye's constipated younger brother in the throes of an asthma attack. But on revisiting recently, what a grower! I don't even hear the ridiculous intakes of breath any more, just the desperation that the guy's girl mustn't leave him. Can't stop playing it. And squealing along with him :thumbsup:
