Pete S Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Don't like it, never liked it, it's just lacking in something...a decent song I think. Backing track is great though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Catriona Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) It s a proper soul record of the finest type imho. It was lovely to meet her last year at Northampton , she was singing lead for the Elgins. She s an absolute darling and still has got a brilliant voice. She sang the line" Just like you did me" to us in the bar and said she wished she hadnt papered her flat with those Sonbert discs https://www.livevideo.com/video/C49B5B25A29...-like-you-.aspx From a few years ago!

Dave Moore Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 In my top 5 of all time. Upbeat (Mid Tempo my arse!), great young femme vocal, kitchen sink production. Great record with great memories attached. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Great record with great memories attached. I think although I have a decent knowledge of the scene I fall flat on this subject of mid tempo...to me this track is mid tempo...its not a ballad...its not a stomper...then surely its somewhere in the middle? confuses me so can anyone clarify?

And what exactly is the relation to Tim Tam, why exactly are you classing the 2 records together. totally lost on the connection. Yvonne Vernee is a proper NS record, Tim Tam is a toy town NS record for the plastic generation, or am I missing something??? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

jocko Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Speed dear boy, not quality IMVHO (aka covering my a**e) you would have had to take enough of it to kill a horse to even consider Tim Tam anything to do with this. Thats like comparing it to a Dickies (or whatver they were called) song or Ramones record, in fact they probably have more in common than Bim Bam and the Turn Offs or whatever its called.

Mid-tempo doesn't fall between uptempo and slow, when people say mid-tempo they mean slow, think Bobby Hutton - Come See.. etc.. It's not a hundred miles an hour like The Combinations - Watcha Gonna Do, but Yvonne Vernee is still uptempo. Hope that makes sense. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
