Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Ian i think i'm right in saying it was 75ish that you went to New York to work with Herb & Brenda Rooney along with the Exciters and this was your first footing into writting and producing records, Did you have the songs before you went of where they just of the cuff and how did you first get on in the studio? Steve J It was February 1975. I had two cover songs on mind - Love You baby and You're Gonna Make Me Love You. I had the entire musical riff of Reaching For The Best in my head, to sing to Herb Rooney. I had even learned to play the piano part prior ro arriving in New York. Of the first four songs we did, only "Suffering" was not pre-planned but was created by Herb Rooney from scratch. In 1974, I was so horrified by Simon Sousan's early recordings that I vowed to do better, and I believe I did.
KevH Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 ====== yes ian RESIST! can you remember Ian dj'ing at Wigan circa '75/76?
Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 It's not just that James, some of us actually like to listen to what Ian's got to say because he has more knowledge about soul music than anyone I've ever met. He set up this particular topic so that anyone who wanted to have a pop at him could do exactly that and I think he's handled himself with some decorum. And also, Pete, so the people who cared, and who matter to me, could have a chance to correspond with me and ask questions.
pikeys dog Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 rather than both of you carry on your recent exchange maybe work better if both leave it as it is or if can't leave it, carry it on via pms mike Sorry mike already posted a response. As already stated, I'm going to leave it now as I think I could really mentally rip Mr Levines character to shreds, but it would be far too easy, and would make me feel like I'd bullied the fat spoilt only child at school.
Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 It may be of interest for readers on here to know where you got the inspiration for The Exciters "Reaching For The Best" from? In 1974, Simon Soussan put out a record list through Brian Phillips. Top of the list was "Reaching For The Best" by Bob Relf. Described at the greatest Northern Soul record ever made, and much better than "Blowing My Mind To Pieces". £35, but make sure you send a second choice alternative as there was only one copy and it was first come first served. Loads and loads of poor innocents sent in their £35, only to get fobbed off with some second rate second choice. So I decided to make sure there really WAS a record called "Reaching For The Best". Ten years ago, when we filmed him and his health was good, we should have actually made it for real with Bob Relf.
Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I'll second that Pete, except the bit about the Carstairs LOL..... Ian is one of the most knowledgeable people about Soul Music that I've ever met too. He's ALWAYS been controversial and outspoken as long as I've known him and even his best mates will acknowledge that he can be a pain in the ass at times. Once you get past the shameless self-promotion and arrogance, there's a guy who knows more about Northern Soul then 99.99% of most people. Plus he's being remarkably well-behaved this time around IMO. A few years ago he'd have been immediately banned..... I was. In December 2000.
Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Just woundering how Ian went from Mecca DJ to producing records in the USA Two reasons. As I already said, it was a need to show that Simon Soussan's cruddy tracks weren't the only way forward. And I felt I could do better than a lot of the original Northern stuff we were discovering in 1975, after the golden years of 1973 and 1974 had eaten through most of the classics, and new Sixties discoveries in 1975 weren't a patch on the previous two years findings. Not after the 4000 records I found in Goodwill in the summer of 1973. When the Mecca crowd heard "Reaching For The Best" and then "Your Magic Put A Spell On Me", there was no politics, and they simply loved them.
Wiganer1 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 can you remember Ian dj'ing at Wigan circa '75/76? == Not me kev,, didnt get to the casino til 81 ive got his one of his wigan spots on tape tho from 73.

Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Ian I just rejoined this site after many years and b*gger me what do I find but you falling out with peopole again. I knew you slightly back in 1976 from the Highland Room and the Ritz. I remember well a couple of occassions in the Ritz where I talked mates of mine out of giving you a hard time (which was a hobby of many "stomper" fans of the time.) It was not just about the music you chose to play (Colin and Neil never got the same stick) It was about you. You are not a very nice person, you are an egotist, and you could start a row in an empty room. Has it never occurred to you that other DJs such as (for example) Richard Searling could play NY Disco and later Jazz Funk without suffering the abuse you did. The reason why is so so simple. No one I know of who has met Richard has a bad word to say about him because he's a nice person without ego. Turning to your music, you've certainly churned out a lot over the years with very little critical chart success! Some (probably about 10) are IMHO excellent but you delude yourself about the overall quality. You think of yourself as "the one" who came out of a Northern Soul background into the record business when you are one of a number and not even 1% as succesfull as Pete Waterman. I'm not even sure that writing and producing 3rd rate music is even as laudable an occupation as compiling albums on existing modern soul material which several of your contemporaries moved into over the last thirty years. Finally I think that one of the reasons you have turned up on this forum is to publicise your latest output. You certainly try to manipulate the reviews on Amazon - one reviewer has given five stars to everything you've ever done but never reviewed anything else ! Anyway you'll be pleased to hear I gave it the one star it deserves https://www.amazon.co.uk/Northern-Soul-2008...1657&sr=8-1 If my music isn't to your taste, you have no right to interfere by going into my own domain and attempting to put others off it. You've sickened me more than anything on the previous eight pages of this thread, and if I were free to speak my mind without getting banned, I would tell you exactly what scum I think you are. I cannot find words strong enough to express my loathing for you. I would quit this forum now, if I hadn't had other messages of support. I do not want to be anywhere near people like you. You do not exist in my world and I pray you never will. I can handle the criticism and the slaggers, but you are just beneath my contempt, and the hatred you have just engendered in me already knows no bounds. I need to stop here before I say what I really mean. But I will be vigilant.
chrissie Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Just my opinion, about his personality, and it's a personality that is pretty hard to ignore. And to pretend his postings are not as much about him and his ego as they are about the music would be foolish, I'd suggest. He loves it, and he's called it on. Or am I wrong? Again I have to agree with you, my god James this is the third time I have agreed with you in 24 hours, must be a record (45, Demo original of course ) QoFxx
Guest SteveJohnston Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 == Not me kev,, didnt get to the casino til 81 ive got his one of his wigan spots on tape tho from 73. That must of been one of the ealy nights at wigan Mark would like to hear that at some time.
Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Think you are spot on Ian. However, I'd suggest that the views of one of them on todays soul scene are more valid, simply because he's actively involved. Ian Levine could keep the majority of us happy for months I think, simply by recalling record trips, meeting/recording artists etc. These type of threads by others are some of the most interesting on here. I hope he gives that a go. Someone with his knowledge can only be an asset to SS. I am interested in the music. I always have been. I am interested in the history of the soul scene, the artists, the DJs and the whole genre. But sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but I have zero interest in most of the scene the way it is today, having become a collector's scene rather than a dancer's scene. No time and no patience for it at all, and no desire to visit a club that would refuse to play an Ian Levine production. My "Strange World Of Northern Soul" told the history of a scene that was vibrant and mattered, a scene when people really did love the music, a scene of Les Cokell and Tony Jebb and Colin Curtis and Russ Winstanley and Richard Searling and Kev Roberts, and, yes, me too. It was fabulous. In 2003, I watched Soul Sam clear a dance floor at the Ritz of over one thousand people in one swoop, then play an even more obscure record to follow it, to a completely empty floor with not one person dancing at three o clock in the morning, and I realised it was all over.

chrissie Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I could grow to like you, Chrissie, even after all the bad things you said. But James is just a misguided youth and underneath it all beats a caring heart..................well ok he has been known to believe his own publicity but you put him to shame in that, one day James will take his tongue out of his cheek where it has been firmly fixed for some time...................well I hope so. I don't dislike James as a person, infact I quite like him and enjoy the spats we have but you really seem to think that you invented northern soul and we actually need you back but hey, guess what, we don't. The scene has moved on helped by characters like James, all be it misguided sometimes, but it isn't the scene of the 70s anymore. OH and by the way, I hate the carstairs as well QoFxx

Guest Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Some like authentic,fragile,not note perfect,sounds. Note perfect ??? Go back and listen. They were done on a cheap budget and there are lots of less than perfect notes. I didn't even progress to 24 track till I went to Chicago in July of that year.

In fact, those who resent the music I make neither need me back nor want me back. But I grew to learn that not everyone on Soul Source thinks like that, and I have many good friends on here too, and I am thankful for them. I isolated a thread with my name on it, so those who weren't interested in me or my music would give it a wide berth. And I have refrained from posting on other threads to avoid controversy. In principle it seems so so simple. The opposite seems to have happened. Can't we just let this thread be used by those people who are GENUINELY interested ???

Maybe I did do a second spot then, in November 1973. My first spot was the first week of October, but Russ has always maintained I did two diferent spots a month apart, not just one. If this date in November is correct, you may have just proved this. And my memory of only doing one is wrong this time. I think this is quite fascinating.

The general ethos of the scene is the Underdog syndrome,whether it be 60's or modern. We all like to think we're the first to acknowledge a record,to hear it for what it is,to lift it from obscurity,to make it our own. Is the scene not built on records that sold f -all.? Recorded by artists who generally made nothing out of their talent. I don't like being told ,"this is soul,buy it". ps- no need to vent you anger on me in your "bold" font.
