Posted August 27, 200816 yr Venecia Wilson - This time I'm Lovin You on Tip Top. Just found one of these - it looks new though, has this been reissued / bootlegged recently? Any help appreciated. Many thanks, Chris
August 27, 200816 yr It was recorded and manufactured in 2000 so it's part of that one and only batch.

August 27, 200816 yr Tony Smith said: Originally an instrumental by Peter Hamilton Generation, Hey Girl on Jamie. It is, but the way it's been chopped up and reassembled to make a new record is very very clever in my opinion. I know you can do it all on computers but you still have to have an ear for it.

August 27, 200816 yr Very, very good.....................better than lot stuff that gets played today or even way back when. 8 hrs X 60 = 480 divided by 2.5 gives you 192 record to play at an allnighter for me to hear this record played that many times would drive me bonkers. Diversity is the spice of life or so I hear. Edited August 27, 200816 yr by Prophonics 2029

August 27, 200816 yr SteveM said: "More" trouble Hey I am being honest with my opinion Steve. I don't like it much. It is allowed you know.
August 27, 200816 yr First time I heard it was down at the local pub on the juke box, certainly sobered me up at the time.....great track, love it to bits.

August 27, 200816 yr OK well it might be sung by a skinny white girl but in my opinion, this is as good a record as any that I've ever heard, I mean that - it's got absolutely everything ">

August 27, 200816 yr Thanks for that everyone. I knew absolutely nothing about it.. I dont think it's too bad, though not my cuppa tea I must say... Now, to get the debate raging: is it worth anything?

Never heard the Venecia Wilson, anyone got a soundclip or is it in Refosoul? Sure they Fuzzy Faced Fake will have it in his massed collection, as he was obviously there when this story was broke or he would not have commented.

(2) Just a recurring nightmare I am having, like most bad dreams it will go away soon. (3) You sent me all the right records, just missed the 2 I mentioned. Sorry I didn't reply last night, I was crying through my beer at my football teams most embarassing capitulations for some time!
August 27, 200816 yr I don't know much about this, but giving everybody the benefit of the doubt, is this a Legal collaboration between Boston's "Little Joe Cook" who I assume owns the "Top Top" label, Philadelphia's "Frank Lipsius" who I assume owns the backing music, and Ian Levine who created the finished work?

I don't like it either, just leaves me cold and i can't get Petula out of my head when i hear it. Nothing against Levine either because i really like 'Wrong Side Of Town'. Pete how can you like Venecia Wilson but not like Joanne Touchstone...

I know you can do it all on computers but you still have to have an ear for it. i agree with you pete brilliant track on first hearing it i thought it was taking me back to a certain place and time in the sixties,not knowing it was an eighties release. if he did em all like this i'd have no probs listening to a whole lp. but the drum loop on most of the stuff drives me mad. kev
