and sometimes who plays it..................... QoFxx

I just play it and sod em all I think they have come to expect a little of 60ts girlie pop/soul from me at Blue Skies and would be suprised if I didn't play any. Both the above are great tracks and should be played but unfortunately not in my collection YET!!!!. QoFxx

60s girlie stuff is my thing predominantly soul but other stuff as well, and I rate her up there with the likes of Dusty but as you say, with better choice of songs whe would of been so much bigger than she actually was. An amazing voice. QoFxx

At the Top of the Stairs - The Formations Blowing My Mind To Pieces - Bob Relf Bok to Back - Fathers Angels Queen Of Fools _ Barbra Mills to name just a few more..............brain ain't working too well tonight QoFxx

I think its a great 60s pop record and but as you say not a soul record and love to hear it played at the right time and in the right place which is not a soul night. I am a big advocate of 60s girlie pop and this is up there in that context with some of the best. QoFxx

Crossover maybe QMPxx

Simon you just aint getting it . Just cos it's girlie vocals doesn't mean that it fits the Mamsey Pamsey label, Mamsey Pamsey has to have soul and tends to be mid tempo. i.e. Terri Bryant - Geni, Ch Chi - If your gonna love me, Halos - Just Keep on Loving Me, Maxine Brown - Seems You've Foresaken My Love, Fontella Bass - I can't rest, Darlettes - Lost, Honey Cone - The Day I Found Myself, Dusty Springfield - What's it Gonna Be, etc etc etc. I must admit I hadn't heard for years when I posted earlier but now after listening again I rate this as 60s girlie pop, and would not play it at a soul night but from a 60s pop angle I think its ok and slightly better than 9 times. So the official rating from me and Bearsy, cos he looks up to me as the font of knowledge of all things Mamsey Pamsey, is its 60s girlie pop (which I quite like in the right place at the right time) and not Mamsey Pamsey.........so there QoFxx

It is very much as Mamsey Pamsey (girlie) record but I just couldn't resist a pop back at Si the Disco Bunny (private joke). I do quite like it but on a more serious note to me it it more of a £30-40er and wouldn't be prepared to pay much more than that at the moment. QoFxx

Not a favoirtie of mine, OK but not worth that sort of money, maybe a tenner You still haven't quite got the hang of the Mamsey Pamsey thing have you QoFxx

JUst looked and his neg feedback has been removed................................but not showing any feedback withdrawn QoFxx

I'd rather you told me where I could pick up a copy of Carol Fredricks for a tenner On a more serious note James, you said in your reply to me that money wasn't the point it was the quality of the tune, well that may be so in your case but I think the record is ok but IF I had £2500 free to spend on vinyl this wouldn't be my first choice as there are other records I prefer..............just down to personal choice, no probs with anyone spending vast amounts of cash on records they like. QoFxx

I think if you read a following post of mine you will see that I said that I do listen to modern soul at across the board nights, and do spend the odd hour or to in modern rooms. I have no prob with this as I think it is good to experience other music in the same way I will always take time to listen to Ska and RnB etc, but I still do not see funk and house as the same as modern soul................I am obviously missing the point somewhere but try as I might I can't seem to work out where. I am trying to highlight the difference of what I see as modern/disco from house and funk and to me there is a vast difference. QoFxx

and funnily enough he has won on every item he has bid on, and by the items, doesn't look like he's particularly a rare soul collector. I suspect you wouldn't of won it any way James as it seems like he has put in ridiculous amounts on every item far exceeding what they are worth, to ensure winning to stitch the account holder up. There is also only feedback for a couple of the items he has bought over the last week or so. not one of my favorite records but heh, as I have said before, each to there own. QoFxx

Spot on, and I suppose that's really where my problem is, I am a lyrical kinda gal, if I can't sing along to it my feet don't work QoFxx

ahhh I see not really Baz, still see it as totally different genre to me, but hey each to their own. QoFxx

Well Barry might noooooooo don't post it chrissie fingers.................get off the keyboard NOW!! QoFxx

The thread did interest me as I was intriguid to know what house music had to do with northern/rare soul. And if we all agreed on every thread there would be no discussion just back patting. QoFxx

I think you are a bad influence on him and he must be saved before it's too late..................don't worry Bearsy, I'll save you from the clutches of the evil Disco Bunny QoFxx

I must admit I have been a little forward as a girlie by watching three football matches so far this weekend and I am now watching repeats of Top Gear.........is that aloud or is it a blokes only thing Hi Si, how is my favorite little disco bunny No I shall remove my tongue firmly from my cheek, OK guys QoFxx

OK Helen, Better go and do some ironing, cooking or washing up or summat while listening to one of my clash, buzzcocks or pistols albums and leave the topic of soul music to the modern soul loving members of the superior sex Thanks reminding me of my humble status QoFxx

I know bugger all about modern soul and even less about house or funk or what is played in modern rooms or at modern nights but to me soul is something that grabs your heart, to some it may be more modern versions to me its 60s. You can't make yourself fall in love with a person its just the same, I can't make myself love house or funk. And since when did I have to have a vast knowledge of all things soul to be enititled to an opinion on an open forum. I think I am still allowed my opinion even if it is different to yours. QoFxx

This may seem very sad to most, but I have never heard Soul Sam Djing and I probably wouldn't pay that much attention to what he was playing. Why does everyone seem to want to have open season on peole who prefer 60s soul and keep trying to hammer the point home.....it doesn't do it for me in the same way 60s does, niave, blinkered I may be to some of you but heh its just the way I am . I can't be as totally blinkered to more modern, soul as some of you think as I class "Footsteps" Womack & Womack one of my my favorite tracks of all time, but still not sure I would want to hear it played out apart from perhaps in a modern room. QoFxx

Well it must be a very wide genre, where as I said in an earlier post, I have no objection to the odd hour of what I personally consider to be modern, i.e. 70s/ early 80s danceable soul, but when it comes down to electronic house or funk music I think that is something quite different. To my knowledge I have not heard House or Funk played at any of the across the board nights or modern rooms that I have been in although I may of missed it cos I don't tend to spend more than an hour in there at any one time, but this is only my personal experience. QoFxx

the poo bit wasn't referring to modern as such,but to house, disco, and funk, which in my mind is somethng slightly different. QoFxx

It all sounds like poo to me errrrrrrr does poo have a sound?, if not house/funk/disco would be it QoFxx Not very keen on modern either, don't mind the odd hour at an accross the board night but that's about it. Try as I might to get into it, it just doens't do it for me............................. QoFxx
