Mark B Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 never heard it before how good is it perfect northern. mark
boba Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 never heard it before how good is it perfect northern. mark their track "the wiggle" is almost identical except that they say "the wiggle" instead of "the penguin" at the chorus. It also came out on Jerk records.
Chalky Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 never heard it before how good is it perfect northern. mark it's very good....can't say I knew it either. Anyone got a full sound file? and one of the Sam Williams This I Know?
Guest Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 link to Sam Williams & Larks https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction/all-auction i think Chalky maybe confused you the title is "This I know"
Guest Dan Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 That is such a beautiful record (apart from the middle eight). Never heard it before. I normally hate 'dance' themed songs but I have to put this right up there with the Pretenders' 'Temptation Walk' - also on Jerk. I don't have it to hand, but are their connections other than the label? The vocals sound similar. And anyone know what the Pretenders should/would go for btw?

Pete S Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I'm thinking you lot are easily pleased, I only listened to it 1 minute ago and I've already forgotten it, it's exactly the same as The Jerk except slightly faster.
Dave Abbott Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 That is such a beautiful record (apart from the middle eight). Never heard it before.

I don't have it to hand, but are their connections other than the label? The vocals sound similar. No doubt wrtitten by Don Julian (the Larks) and Jerk label owner. I was on a website the other day (which i can't find now) looking at the stuff he had written and it was quite amazing how many songs he wrote relating to dances. if he were alive today he probably would have been recording "Doin' the iPod Shuffle" and "Can you X-Box" amongst many others. this 'penguin' is a great record
Guest Dan Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 just had a look at dave rimmer's site - seems to suggest temptation walk is b/w a song by the larks (baby my love)? have to say i think that's not the case on my copy of temptation walk as far as i can remember. will check if i remember. are there two releases?

I'm pretty sure The Pretenders were Don Julian's Larks under another name. Great record though.
Guest Netspeaky Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 We all missed this one on ebay. https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?...nr=110144085281 Andy K from Chester has been playing this out for the last couple of years.
