Quite an exciting, well produced record that deserves playing IMHO... maybe not three times a night though. Not completely my cup of Earl Grey, because as Ady said it is more early 70s in style than 60s, and not in the same league as Joseph Webster.
Harry, musically the scene is on its arse! For every forward looking event like Lifeline, 100 club, Burnley, DKOF etc that attract up to a couple of hundred lovers of the music, there are 25 oldies/"ATB" events EVERY weekend which each attract 100 lovers of nostalgia. And heaven forbid anyone should play a bit of R&B! On a recent "Lookbacks" thread, some goon was lamenting the fact that The Champion and Afternoon of the Rhino were not played instead of "southern soul", which meant the sort of records you tend to hear at the aforesaid nighters.
Good post from the pulpit there!
Which Sharon Jones record do you mean? I haven't had the nerve yet to play 100 Days, 100 Nights out.
Did you mean out-weighs?
Interesting post that, because a few of us long term punters on the scene, a lower species than you serious collectors, I know, would not agree with your view.
