Mark B Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I still have only got spyder turner from all that is listed. but then i dont collect motown so thst discounts all of them mark
Godzilla Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 "Move on up" Sorry no. Bobbins!! ROD You won't believe this but I had a bet with myself that the first person who said they didn't have a copy would be you, Rod. Not sure why either - have you stated before that you're not keen? Bedtime now so maybe I'll find out in the morning. Godz ps - you're wrong, clearly

Not sure why either - have you stated before that you're not keen? Bedtime now so maybe I'll find out in the morning. Godz ps - you're wrong, clearly Again not Northern really [so you wouldn't expect a NS fan to have it] and more suited to it's place on the album. Even then there are better tracks like "We are the people darker..." and "The makings of you". ROD
paultp Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Surely everyone has Ace Spectrum I have Spyder Turner I would have had a Troy Dodds if the postal service hadn't lost it
Modernsoulsucks Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Surely everyone has Ace Spectrum I have Spyder Turner I would have had a Troy Dodds if the postal service hadn't lost it Im afraid you can forget modern or 70's as containing the common denominator as I for one have only a handful and Ace Spectrum isn't amongst them. ROD
Pete Eccles Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Reckon the most probable generic 45's will be the 'northern' motown types, things like 'a little misunderstanding' - Contours, but I'm probably wrong as usual,
Mace Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Not sure I fully understand the rules to this game....but I'll chuck into the mix.... A version (albeit any version) of 'Wade in the water' Reckon that's the winner.....
Kris Holmes Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 ok, to tidy things up, just reply to the ones you don't have & if someone else has already crossed it off, you don't have to. obviously you have to have a ok sized collection to play (whoever said they only own 1 45 is possibly not helping...). I'll have to go through the posts I missed today to try & decipher what 45s are still active & what is out. ps. I did go on ebay out of interest to search that Spyder Turner but couldn't find any....... maybe it isn't as common as it once was (or I screwed up the search)... :-)
Kris Holmes Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 You absolutely have to be thinking generic for it to work, ie. think of a 45 that should appeal to most regardless of it being northern or standard. From what I can work out, the still active ones are: Showstoppers - Houseparty Bettye Swann - Make Me Yours Contours - Misunderstanding how about Barbara Acklin - Am I The Same Girl?
Godzilla Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Again not Northern really [so you wouldn't expect a NS fan to have it] and more suited to it's place on the album. Even then there are better tracks like "We are the people darker..." and "The makings of you". ROD Really? I'm sure you remember Dave Evison playing Move On Up as a 'reactivated oldie' at W*g*n. Whether it was actually activated in the first point is a moot point maybe, but I certainly recall hoovering up copies rom Oldham market after he first played it and flogging them in the bar the following week. So played at a major venue, danced to and demand enough to be bought and sold in the record bar yet not NS? However, that's just an observation and I guess the argument about definition is just academic in this context if you don't have a copy. More to the point, nz45s - If you have three records still in the running why add another?

paup-ine Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Can't say as I can even remember what Ann D'Andrea sounds like, never mind owing a copy! Here's one Tome! P Not sure i am doing this thread right now, so: I have not got Barbara Acklin. Edited March 30, 2009 by paup-ine

Modernsoulsucks Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Edwin Starr SOS c/w I Have Faith In You? That's already discounted Gareth. Mark b and Trevski don't appear to have any of those earlier listed. So we need a new title. Bobby Hebb Love love love? Tony Clarke Landslide?

Bobby Hebb Love love love? Tony Clarke Landslide? That'll teach me to read the entire thread. It would seem from the fulsome praise that it's receiving on other areas of the site that the record which unites this sometimes disparate scene (and would appear to be in most collections) is none other than 'Elusive' by Babe Ruth. "Who knew" as the yanks are fond of saying.

ROD Think if Bobby and Tony are the only 2 still live is it not best that no more are added till these 2 are discounted? Saves on the confusion, Pete E
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 How about Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up? Who's going to be the first to say they ain't got one of those? ...Me. Still waiting for a US copy to turn up at a Rounce-friendly price. Never owned a UK Buddah copy, always used to play it off the LP...

I did go on ebay out of interest to search that Spyder Turner but couldn't find any....... maybe it isn't as common as it once was (or I screwed up the search)... :-) Maybe it would be a good idea to say what qualifies as a limit to the minimum size of a record collection. The smaller the collection, the unliklier it is to contain a record, no matter how popular. I've been surprised by the fact that certain 45's are not in peoples collections and also that certain records I don't have in mine appear to be popular amongst others. Good game, though

Premium Stuff Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Bobby Hebb Love love love? NO Tony Clarke Landslide NO That's the lot then I think How about ... JJ Barnes - Please let me in?
