Guest soulmaguk Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Would anyone agree with me that this is Northern. Gregory Washington - Tea And Understanding - BRAINSTORM 169. Also, cant help thinking I heard Rob Smith play this at Brid weekend 2007. Am I right? (refo sound byte below)
Pete S Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I quite liked it but the recording quality is terrible, would like to hear a good recording
Tony Smith Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I bought this record off Ady Pountain for £3 some 20 odd years ago, I liked the sound of it then, still do, wouldn't have ever dreamed of playing it out though.

Soul-slider Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Some nice horns especially halfway through when it gets going a bit. If I stuck on a Northern Soul CD I'd probably put it on as the last track (being a bit sluggish). I'd buy it if it was cheap enough cos I like the horn work.

It isn't an expensive or rare record, it was the horn work that got me, mind you I've always quite liked odd-ball instrumentals. Also thanks Boba for the info

Weingarden Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 i think i remember liking the flip better, "pamela lamour."
Godzilla Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 i think i remember liking the flip better, "pamela lamour." Yo're right Matt - decent funk instrumental - but equally terrible recording or pressing as I recall. Anyway, I thought we were supposed to flip old fogotten Northern sounds to uncover funk gems - not the other way round

Also thanks Boba for the info Know what you mean about having a thing for odd-ball instro's, so many were pushed onto the Northern scene LPs when I was just getting into it:- Grapevine's, Destiny, Jumping at the go-go, Capital Soul Casino.
