    Brilliant record!!!! Philly Classic Love the re-mix that came out a couple of years ago - far too long for the niter crowd - but a great tune nonetheless.

    Way Of The Crowd is 2 minutes 51 seconds long. Good version it is to IMHO.

    I love the curiosities this wonderful scene of ours throws up. 1969 - The Twisted Wheel plays records that are possibly 2-4 years old - that is Northern Soul. 2008 - "Anyvenue" plays a record from 1975 - that is Modern Soul. Bizarre!!!

    Seem to think the song contained the words "Spiderman - where are you coming from Spiderman" - very uptempo if memory serves me correctly.

    IMHO Wigan went pretty much downhill after 1975 - can remember Biddu etc. being played - they were just a taste of the shape of things to come.

    Would love to see a list from a year earlier - think the tunes would have been a tad better than Tommy Hunt- Flower Shoppe - Biddu etc.

    Yes - Blackpool Mecca for me. Northern, Modern, "The Last Hour"(Birth of Crossover) Disco & Jazz Funk. The Highland Room did it ALL!!!!!!! & that was before 1977.

    Think most people would agree that the "golden era" for the discovery of the classic northern soul tunes (now sometimes referred to as "played out oldies" in certain circles) was 1971-1974/75. This obviously encompasses Torch, Mecca, Va-Va, Catacombs & Wigan. Wigan did not open until 1973 & was heavily influenced by the other clubs listed above. In 1976 the "oldies" nights overtook the regular Saturday nights in popularity. In fairness I think Wigan clawed some credibility back in 79/80 when Richard Searling was playing some awesome tuneage.

    One time member of The Platters. Loads of the 12 on Ebay at the mo. - plenty of "buy it now" from 4 to 7 quid.

    It's not rocket science - or has that already had an outing (twice)

    Close........ but no cigar!!! See post #27 for further details.

    Think you need to listen again!!!! The line is "Baby please don't make me wait too long" etc.etc. Just after the break he sings "Girl don't ...........don't make me wait"

    "Girl Don't Make Me Wait" - Bunny Sigler

    Probably a disc which helped you - via a computer- to get on sites like this.

    Dusty for me too. Always found Ms Barrett a tad harsh sounding in the vocal & production.

    Not sure of tears - 73/74 or 74/75 when the two different came out (at work now) The first release is on blue Vibration label & the release approx. a year later - on yellow Vibration has a more disco groove to it. Like both versions meself.

    Craig Moerer has a M- copy on GEMM for 75 dollars.

    None of the artistes can ever be described as sad.They are all very competent pop singers (apart from TB) & within the pop genre have a huge amount of credibility - they all have had a degree of longevity in the music industry so you have to respect that. If anybody thinks of these people as soul singers that is fine by me - IMHO they are not.

    The fact that people consider a record by Lulu "fits the bill" is the problem I have with it.
  22. Epic
    I'll make it easy for you Doris Troy - "I'll Do Anything" or Tony Blackburn - "I'll Do Anything" Gloria Jones - "Tainted Love" or Soft Cell - "Tainted Love" The Righteous Brothers - "Unchained Melody" or Robson & Jerome - "Unchained Melody"
  23. Epic
    Listen to Esther Phillips "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" & then listen to Lulu - "Boom Bang A Bang". Then make your own mind up.

    It's nothing to do with colour - I didn't mention the colour of anyone's skin & your remarks are without foundation & I find it offensive for you to intimate my opinion is based on a person's skin colour. Truth is Lulu IMHO is a decent enough pop singer - nothing more - nothing less. One thing she ISN'T is a soul singer. Just to balance the argument - IMHO Tina Turner is a rock singer. Neither of the two ladies music has ever appealed to me - my opinions are based on the music they have made - certainly not on the colour of their skin.

    Lulu Cilla Black Susan Maughan Tom Jones Helen Shapiro Jackie Trent Petula Clarke Tony Blackburn...................... ................. the list gets longer....................& sadder.
