Never got the analogy between NS and Hardcore, where is the soul in Hardcore for a start? The punters into Hardcore were basically like the divs that flocked to the Casino after TOTP's. They missed out on the early and best days of house and rave and never really got its connection to the soul scene that was already there in there first place. All of the guys that got me into going the Hac ect were ex soulies, the link was far more trasnsparent than the perceived cultural link the author alludes to.

sold one on here last year, £60 ish if i recall correctly

The more I look at life, the more I get the feeling that the vast majority of people don't really love music that much! They just want to be fashionable. Go with the dictated music industry fashions, so they look young and trendy. the increased feminisation of society has compounded this, women love compromise and this leads to mediocrity in all fields They call Bruce Springsteen the Boss, even though he is a overhyped poor singer! he probably acknowledge that himself, his main talent is as a song writer. and he's a genius. 'got a wife and kids in Baltimore, jack went out for a drive and never came back.'

There are excellent exceptions of course!

Personally many of these retro soul efforts already sound stale and formulaic, it's like acid jazz all over again.

Interesting tune, unusual production and very atmospherric, could image this getting plays.even if he does sound like elvis!

Transplant the same kind of unheard artist's from the 60's to now and they definitely wouldn't be releasing there low budget but creative recordings on vinyl.

I've made a similar piont about mods.

liked it when first heard, but as with most pastiche's they quickly fade into parody

Always liked this version myself.

its like Shirley Bassey, if she couldn't sing!

That s really good, IMHO, be really interested to know who it's by myself. Where did you come across it? and to the above post, my mum told me, 'if you can't say anything nice, STFU.!'

Often wondered about general collectors as you termed and them, just how many UB40 collectors, for instance, are out there and would they want read an article about Madonna, of they didn't collect that artist?

They'll go wild at all those incontinence pants.

A very well informed and interesting read, thank you.

Just realised my 'cosha' and was most definitely not kosher.

that's the one- absolutely crap!

No, sorry it was by far worse than that turd!

Just searched again, really can't see it on YouTube, but it's rayt bad! And it got played loads around Stoke nighters at lightwood Road , twice a night, it rammed the floor!

To give you an idea it made this version sound as good as bari track, or sister Lee.

Going back to my youth two that I loathed would be, doug backs-kept on dancing, and Howard guyton- I watched you slowly slip,. I don't mind either nowadays as both are only heard occasionally, mid 8ts however they were absolutely hammered. the worst sound from that era would have to be that instrumental version of Frank will wilson, that somebody knocked up on a bontempi organ. The anyone remember it? Can't find it on tube but used to have the it on a tape.

Saw her myself lf about 29 years ago, her voice is knackered but her heart and skill as an entertainer allow her to carry off, still made me cry when she sung 'no one there'

Martha really couldn't sing, but on some tunes she can just about carry it.

All the acetates look cosha, could the ordinals be a Canadian issue? The Larry Williams is a little dodge, never seen a vinyl pressed okeh before , but I know nowt.

I'd say, realistically both lp and 45"s on original formats are accepted. But 45"s are generally more desirble: there louder and more convient to play as well as just being collectable.
