Remember getting the pressing in the eighties, probably from robs smiths 50p box and thinking wtf has this got to do with Northern soul, a sentiment I still agree with, tis truly awful.
You didn't say that too me when you sold me a copy in aflex rod. If you you had a mint demo of
'You don't want me no more" for the same price, I was uming and ring over. I've had loads of chances to get Nolan since but Mr Lance has since shot out of my reach. I quite like Three Dog Night anyway.
The reason I asked, it was requested at a local soul night I did last week and it's a massive record at these kind of do's to this day, as our a few others that weren't massive at the big three venues. Unfortunately 'tribute' falls into that category too.
Just wondered, when where and who played this track first. I can remember it being massive around the milleniun but don't recall it as a known tune in the eighties.
Gutted by this news. I was wondering how he was doing, and having heard he was ill a few years back. Had the pleasure of seeing him djing at Hq in the mid nineties, he was shit hot technically and with a taste and insight to be rivaled by only the American originators. Sadly at the moment he contribution is understated.
OK fair point, I understand your perspective, hope you get mine. I apologise for any offence but I think that's how anyone with Northern nounce would se it. Atb. I geese.
Must be great hearing a track like that for the first time, but for most of us it's absolutely hammered to the point that the nails are coming out the other side. I most certainly not what you'd travel a distance to hear.
Seriously I would I thought it's a 'most likely heard" down your grab a gran or grandad with trilby an Fred perry night. Really don't mean to sound arrogant but I'm surprised anyone who's found this site hasn't heard it, esp if from the UK.
A counter point would be my recollection of attending Burnley about 10 years ago, for context burnley was renowned as one of the best upfront nights around. A dj played "a little togetherness". an the two dj"s, I was with, both well Know on the scene. said "that's the final straw I were not driving up here to listen to this". I think just about every track played that night wouldn't scrape the top 1000 but they were both really pissed of about the younghearts.
And to be honest I wasn't impressed myself.
Have to say I can't it changing a thing, too many couldn't care a less, the're in the majority, those who do are not. The ethics of the scene have been exchanged for a kiss me quick hat, to cover the bald plate"s.
Not been out a great deal of late but I'd have to over recent years

Doctor pickles, even though I'm not a big r and b fan, lol.
Don't think there's any professional house djs working off vinyl anymore, upless you count tractor and the like. OK I know spinna will play a breaks set off 45"s but it's not the only format he uses.
