The ones I have heard are good but they are not real, there is topics on here daily which are usually started by "who was " or any "pictures of " because they were real people and people want to know the people behind the record.
Think we know how songs begin and most singers are then putting the emotion into the recording I also know that these records lyrics are heartfelt and are good records but what could have been a great project was marred by the use of fake voices in my opinion.
The human emotion of a singer is what makes it soul and that is what makes the hairs on my neck stand up and amazes me the depth a fellow human can get in to a song. However good an al record sounds it is fake and devoid of the main element a real singer. If this is the future of soul music it is reassuring that the back catalogue is vast and still new sounds to explore.
Loads of people seem to be excepting it, strange thing about this stuff is everything has got a human element except the vocals how bizarre is that soul records without a soul singer (how does that work ) which are not instrumental.
The story of these records is told by Alan Day on the Dean Anderson show dated 31st of October 2024 posted on Soul Source by Chalky, the last hour contains the segment and all the info.
Why not take up the task yourself ? as the guys in Sheffield have done.
Dave was a well known figure in Sheffield as well as a Soul fanatic also a film buff too and was director of the independent Anvil cinema in Sheffield for a time.
So the plaque in Sheffield is worthy in my opinion.
I like so many types of soul music to pick one tune but from a Northern aspect this track sums up the whole package for me it's got attitude, thumping beat a great lyric and sung to perfection - " I,m Gone" Eddie Parker , never tire of hearing it.
Thanks, only came across this record in my box yesterday, no idea I had it I remember the record was given to me by a friend along with some others that were of no interest to him.
Funny I have only been aware of this great record in the last few months after hearing the Latasha Lee version so was surprised to find the Lovations gathering dust in my box.
Could someone tell me if the Lovations " I Don't Want You " on Cap City has been booted
My copy has cc -115 -A " I Don't Want You " 2/9/70 etched in the runout.
Thanks.
Hundreds of cds and apart from the occasional skip on one or two never been a issue and those that have skipped have just been in need off a quick wipe with a lint free cloth, never needed to resort to chemicals but then again I do treat them with the same respect I do with vinyl.
I have though noticed a few that have tarnished in colour but fortunately not impacted on play back.
