Well I think that all tunes are tailor-made. Tailor-made for a particular market at a particular time. All the great, wonderful and varied music that we listen to on our scene were made with the soul (sic) intention of appealing to potential music buyers at that time. They were (mostly) not made just for our scene.
So I don't have a problem with 'em. Good music is good music, and bad music is bad music. And it's all in the ear of the beholder anyway.
I've got a tailor made that I did. I'll post it up one day. It's not northern or soul at all but does have northern roots, and sold 3000 copies in Benelux!
Cheers
Phil
