I ain't the seller! Just thought someome might like it, it's a great girlie sound https://cgi.ebay.com/Mary-Sneed-When-I-Was-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Brady must have got it off Alan Rhodes because he was playing it at Wigan 2 years before Brady was on there

Thats the girls who were on X Factor I think - 3 black sisters from Luton or somewhere like that - they were good!

I'm on the fence here mate it's nothing to do with me, I just thought it'd be an interesting debate, I don't like it though when people save up a years worth of viciousness and spend it all on attacking I.L., especially when there are better targets around. Bogue for instance

They ran out of time and went overbudget so ended up using some people they knew from Doctor Who Fanclub or something like that

It must be really heartwarming for someone to spend 6 months or a year of their life trying to create something that people can enjoy and then see it ripped to shreds in the blink of an eye. I can never figure out why a lot of people show so much hatred and venom towards the producer in question when a simple 'I don't like it' would be ample. I agree with many of the points made but why so nasty? p.s. I'm sure Ian will get the last laugh - one of these will go global and sell millions, another will be a northern monster, it's happened before, it'll happen again

To be fair, those graphics were done for a reason - I didn't understand at the time - it was to cover up the reality of the backgrounds and rooms that the singers were actually in. Bobby Sheen's abode being the prime offender.

Karen if you read this, I still need your address!

That was sort of what I was trying to say. The Nicole Willis record is also, pretty obviously, played live and done in one take (well thats what it sounds like to me) like records used to be recorded way back before even 4 track recording. Listen to any Shrine record, they are all played absolutely live and it's one of those takes that got used as the finished single.

You're right Nev, I forgot there were two! Thanks for that.

The Thrillers is a bootleg (or official "pressing") done by Soul Bowl circa 1975 same time as they did things like Bernard Williams, United Four. I'd ask £10 tops for it personally though it is quite hard-ish to find.

Okay 95%, I'm sure you still like a bit of the old stuff

Well at least I got a reply, it just said "if you say so" so I wished her good luck

Depends how you look at it. Half of the music you love, I think is sh*t.

I don't remember it! Honest.

Well The Shadows were called The Drifters before they were called The Shadows and they released a track called Driftin'...doubt if it's the one youre after though!

I think they do use 'live' musicians don't they? Might be wrong. I'll find out.

I told her it was worth a fiver...

Well I don't know what to think, I quite like a lot of these tracks but there is a certain familiarity about them, whether it's the fact that some are based on original records (I heard the van dykes, chuck wood and holly st james for a start) or the fact that a lot of the track sound similar. But what I would say, if Ian could get the sort of sound that they (Timmion records) got on that Nicole Willis record 'If this ain't love I don't know what is' then I think he would have a lot of success because that record (nicole willis) sounds like it was recorded in the 60's. Ian's stuff sounds contemporary because of the way that technology is today. Using those facilities you're never going to get that live drum sound we know from our 60's records.

https://www.myspace.com/northernsoul2007 Northern Soul 2007 Just wondering if Gwen Owens knows about this (or cares) - this is Just Say You're Wanted And Needed isn't it? I'm just not sure there's a big enough market for this stuff. The purists won't touch it and it doesn't get enough exposure to crossover to the pop charts. I admire the guy for keep on trying but if it were me, I don't know...
