Chalky Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 One of the best Northern Soul records ever discovered, its got everything you want in a dancer. Messy...who gives a f*ck, soul as it should be, from the heart, the group giving it everything and more and not summat practiced and polished in a studio

jocko Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I don't think you could call it a truly great soul record but it's a F****ng fantastically great Northern Soul record, one of the greatest and sorry Epic mate I don't think your rarity argument holds on this, it has a dance floor reaction unlike many other records, majority of whom are unaware of any rarity as they stampede past anyone in their way to get to the dancefloor, I truly believe if you don't get this you don't get Northern Soul, in one of my opinionated statements. Closely followed by the Parliaments Rainy Day for the best dancefloor reaction as an unknown/semi known, and it still has it now years and years later. It probably is my generations Job Opening to be honest for Northern Soul
Bully Boy Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) "If you don't get this you don't get Northern Soul, in one of my opinionated statements" Just One of Your Opinionated Statements Jock.......................... I did not know you were opionated Jock............ In My Opinion, You Ought To Answer YOUR PHONE BEST Bully Edited December 3, 2008 by Bully Boy
Guest Byrney Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I agree with you Kev - when I first heard it I was like woaaaaaah Same here - knocked me on me erse on first hearing the Del larks c/u. Messy as messy thing and that is a part of what makes it blinding, smash the floor up Northern Soul. For me nothing to do with rarity, just a great dance record which you can't half get into on the floor. Been a while since I've heard it out and it had me pogoing at the last 100 club

Been a while since I've heard it out and it had me pogoing at the last 100 club I was pogoing beside you, I just had more balance, slightly! Hope you are wll mate and the old Asthma is getting better, see you soon?
Joefromupnorth Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Fortunate to hear Kenny spin it then the week after and an hours drive away hear it again from Kenny.......sadly may have to wait an age now to hear it again.....sounds like these ,awful in quality some would say have that magic for me and are right up my street !
Guest Bearsy Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 it is a messy raw record thats for sure but bloody awsome i once likened it a bit to Ed & Ernies - Indication, and got slaughtered, why i dont know because both are messy but quality in different ways, ones rare the other aint
Becket Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Eddie Hubbard has a very old Rob Marriot tape without a track listing. I can remember years ago; the two of us listening to it to try and identify the tracks. We both commented at the time "that's Butch's cover up!" Obviously neither of us knew who it was back then. Can anyone shed any light on whether Rob had a copy from that time, probably early - mid Eighties ? Cheers........... Tom. Banbury.

Prophonics 2029 Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) I still can't find any mess, although I have found a reference to his soul brother and some awesome bass brass coming in after the sax break well not right at the end but quiet close. A great backing track well laid out with a cosy echo on the ringing guitar and a well defined bass guitar but very strange sporadic backing vocals. The edge for me is that Silus Phifer's voice its like Al Jolson, rough and ready but a velvet touch. Edited December 3, 2008 by Prophonics 2029
Souljazera Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 NORTHERN SOULFRIC AGRO SOUL....made me love sixties again. ..got bored of all that soppy ballad boring stuff...
Billyboy Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Oh yes top of the pile stuff alright...raw soul with all the trimmings & yet mello' so mello' "its rolled on the thigh of a Cuban virgin" always been one of me alltime fav's.....Definately a desert island disc.

Bjorn Nilsson Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 One of the best Northern Soul records ever discovered, its got everything you want in a dancer. Messy...who gives a f*ck, soul as it should be, from the heart, the group giving it everything and more and not summat practiced and polished in a studio A Northern record can't be too messy! Remember a couple of years ago when (I think) Kitch played it. I was completely worn out when it ended and I was looking for a place to sit down for a while. Then he just moved the needle to the start again. Absolutely fabulous!

Sean Hampsey Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) It's not that I don't get it - I just don't think it's that good. Me neither. I totally 'get' Northern Soul - but don't have the ears for stuff like this. Same with Parliaments on Cabell. Neither very good (IMO). Sean Edited December 4, 2008 by Sean Hampsey
Guest hudsoul Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 brilliant record,,,,perfect nighter record....along with the YOUNG BROS. it does it for me,

Sean Hampsey Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 But Sean your Mentor Tats Taylor likes the Paliaments or was it the B-side "Getting ready for the summer" ? I am Tats mentor. He's my younger (fatter) brother and I taught him everything he knows. If he admits to liking that crock then he still has a way to go! Sean
Simon M Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I am Tats mentor. He's my younger (fatter) brother and I taught him everything he knows. If he admits to liking that crock then he still has a way to go! Sean No your wrong again Sean , this is great NS ,with a crossover flip !! Ask Master Tats
Sean Hampsey Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 No your wrong again Sean , this is great NS ,with a crossover flip !! Ask Master Tats I can't be 'wrong' Simon just cos I don't like it. That's like saying I'm 'wrong' if I don't like the taste of coconut For them wot likes it, good luck to 'em, but its not really to my taste. It' OK, no more than that, to my ears at least. But as it happens, even the group didn't rate it! Sean
Cheltsoulnights Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Messy. The only messy bit is the same old bad sound file that is punted around, I have listened to Kitche's copy out and its a different experience. Bet it sounds great on my system saturday! Are you sure Butch has this?

Stubbsy Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Bet it sounds great on my system saturday! Are you sure Butch has this? Well he did last time I went to The 100 Club !
Sean Hampsey Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 But Sean , if you don't like coconut , why would you be critical of a Thai restaurant's cooking ? I do like coconut, Simon. It was a 'for instance'. Don't like Thai food though. Yuk!
Bully Boy Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 But Sean your Mentor Tats Taylor likes the Paliaments or was it the B-side "Getting ready for the summer" ? Think You May Be Wrong on that Score Simon Tats does love "The Parliments" but you are not talking about "Heart Trouble" are you Rainy Day.......... Tats never said he loves that
KevH Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I do like coconut, Simon. It was a 'for instance'. Don't like Thai food though. Yuk! Sean,do you or do you not like coconut?.For the record.
boba Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 i was reading this thread a couple of days ago and everyone was saying "this is the greatest track ever" and i was getting confused, like "this is soul source, where are all the haters?" I'm glad it's almost back to normal, we still need some "It's total shite!" posts to set things right.
Simon M Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 side "Getting ready for the summer" ? Think You May Be Wrong on that Score Simon Tats does love "The Parliments" but you are not talking about "Heart Trouble" are you Rainy Day.......... Tats never said he loves that
foolish fool Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 side "Getting ready for the summer" ? Think You May Be Wrong on that Score Simon Tats does love "The Parliments" but you are not talking about "Heart Trouble" are you Rainy Day.......... Tats never said he loves that He said he liked the other side Bully , "Getting ready for the summer "
foolish fool Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 My anger clouded my judgement And I saw a red flash When my mouth wrote a check That my heart couldn't cash
Dave Abbott Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 messy?! the backings messy, the brass extremely messy, vocals messy...BUT... don't dissect it - put 'em all together and you got one of THE best northern soul records ever :-)
