    Apologies to those who thought the debate a little 'sterile' however, I think a lot of interesting/worthwhile points came out of the thread. The seventies track for me is just awesome and if a few more people now are more aware of it, thats a really good thing. I shall retire from the debate slightly bruised but happy. Col

    Fair point. But when I point out that you are a Country & Western expert, they will beleive there is at least hope for me.

    Me, on a wind up? No, just a little gentle teasing really. Both records are of course 'just fantastic soul records' But it has to be said that the sixties record is "like a cake thats been left out in the rain......and you'll never get that recipe again." Whereas the seventies tune is "a souffle, thats still rising"

    But, it sounds like it was recorded in a broom cupboard. Clearly thats not right.

    The following similarly titled Four Tops records when compared together prove almost conclusively that seventies soul is far superior to sixties soul. Four Tops - Can't Seem To Get You Out My Mind - the sixties track, has everything that a good northern soul record should have. But its strangled by the 4/4 beat. Soul in a straight jacket. So dated. Four Tops - Just Can't Get You Out Of My Mind - the seventies track. Move on a few years & WOW what a tune. Much better orchestration & flowing vocals. Just shows you how much soul evolved in a decade. Case proven.

    I am pleased to say that Col The Soul is alive & living in Fleet, Hampshire. Last seen dancing around his living room to Lil Major Williams - Girl* Although a number of events have conspired to prevent him getting out recently, I am confident the issues are short term. Col * I am reliably informed that in the very near future he will be grooving to Paris - Sleepless Nights & Herby Brown - One More Broken Heart

    Reminds me of paintings by numbers. Oh happy days. Well that was until the day they confiscated all the paintbrushes. Something about potential weapons, I never fully understood it.

    When looking for a replacement car & the first thing you check is the sound system. And the car that you actually buy is the one with the factory fitted uprated Bose speakers. Happened to me last week

    I never went to the Mecca. And if they played stuff like this, I'd say that I had a lucky escape.

    I prefer the Alan Partridge version.

    Did you get either from Iain Stewart? Only ask as I remember him acquiring one around that time. Iain was fantastic at acquiring records, but rubbish at hanging onto them.
