Discovered this many many years ago on the first Phil Spector box set - what a production and what an amazing vocal performance. Probably way too fast for NS consumption but brilliant anyway.

Yeah it an unreleased version. The best one has got to be Sam Williams, but off the Grapevine 45 - as far as I know, it's the only time it's ever appeared in it's entirety, it's 30 seconds longer than the 45 or any compilation appearance. The B side is a great version of You Don't Mean It by Towanda/Gloria Barnes, which was also recorded by...Ohio Players

Thanks for the comments mate. It is the artistics that you want. The first time on CD the cream of Northern Soul from one of the greatest SOUL labels of all time.

No it's not mine, it's an acetate that a friend of mine bought off Pat Brady about 12 years ago, he's still got it and won't sell it. Think he paid about 100 quid for it!

It's dead easy to make instrumentals, you just need a stereo version of a track and a karaoke program which you can download off the net. Maybe 1 in 10 will work completely, but most of them, you can hear the vocal in the background.

I've only had purple and silver mate so that might be a rare one anyway...they've always been styrene

Why, were you gonna send me an obscene message

Alright, ten quid then, no more though. If I've got one you can have it for ten quid.

Hardly worth it is it Steve, it's only worth £3 anyway But as far as I know - never booted

There is, but it's a Simon Soussan special, he did it himself..

Don't know who this is but it's fantastic, when the beat kicks in, awesome.

The one record I've always wanted to hear as an instrumental is I'll Always Need You by Dean Courtney. They've got a full orchestra in there, and with that beat on top, it would be the best ever...after Bari Track, Exus Trek, Frantic Escape and Cigarette Ashes...

Not as good as Sam Williams...don't think it's on a cd though

Well not quite, it so nearly worked but I just couldn't get rid of all the vocal - not that it needs getting rid of - but this track had a great string section and I thought it would sound nice as an inst, so I had a bash at it

Justin Timberlake vs Ini Kamoze. Not bangin but pretty cool

Totally disagree. Put two separate things together to make a new entity - I wish I was clever enough to be able to do it. Plus they go together really well.

This is Paul Simon with an acapella version of Is She Really Going Out With Him and presumably a Bill Withers sample, this is the best of the lot and I promise I won't do any more unless asked to. Better find some northern now I suppose

Tell her she rules mate

This is great but I don't know what the vocal track is.

Please define bangin and I'll see what I can find...I've got about 150 of these bootleg mixes on the pc

Actually this is not that hilarious, the first 20 seconds are though

It was the only other 'soul' related one I've got...

Wendy I'll keep posting them til I'm told to stop, please check out the next one, Rebel Without A Banjo, it's top stuff. I've also got one of the Muppets theme mixed in with that rock track Gay Bar which is a scream but I'll spare you that

Rebel without a banjo...Public Enemy vs Deliverance. This is hilarious, honest, well it is if you like Public Enemy and Deliverance. Hey theres not much going on and some of these are very clever!
