Happy Feet

I think it's not ignorance , it's tempo that we where after , nowadays I'm loving the much slower pace , so I am giving a new lease of life to half of my collection, that I wouldn't have 20 yrs. ago except the blatantly obvious ones I mentioned above. Plus at our time of life , late 60s its nice to dance to with a partner instead of solo , if you wish to .

I think I'm slowly understanding the ethos , of the Lowrider spectrum , You could possibly squeeze in sounds like Ray Pollard, The Drifter , Jimmy Radcliffe, Long Ater Tonight Is All over , perhaps this is why these tunes are gaining in price and becoming harder to locate cheaply on original copies ?

Would this fall into the category of Lowrider, cheap as chips or not , due to value and availability ? Love it .

Released in the normal way no mention of Northern Soul , then discovered by the Northern Scene , released and then remarketed for the Northern Scene and then the Genie was well and truly out of the bottle . Which puzzles me , why do these people do this kind of promotional exercise when they must surely know the outcome ?

Really , did he have to wear a red jacket too ?

Or maybe in one of those " Will It Catch On " previously mentioned events , where you could just walk off the dancefloor & pop to the W.C. until the next tune came on . After washing yours hands & putting your headphones & padded gloves on & returning to the dance floor .

Another 50 yrs too late , would it have been spun @ W.C. probably

It may , maybe if the Alnighter was in a built up area like the Torch was , or under a block of flats or in a mental institution ( am I allowed to say that ) as a recreational activity. The first 2 instances given padded gloves and carpet slippers a must , to damp down the sound of hand clapping & stomping , the 3rd usually built in the middle of nowhere , so it wouldn't matter

Is this a download or physical 45 vinyl release at the moment , have searched & can only find a March date for the 45 ?

It's surely all about musical taste & mood , not remotely weak & most would probably have been the A- side when first released , age & maturity of the listener may also play apart too . The Cods , I'm A good Guy great dancer probably played 1st at The Twisted Wheel , nowadays I can quite happily play "Pretty Baby ", lots of records of the same era , the slower side never got a look in and now becoming much harder to own , the strange world of Northern Soul eh

Hi Zanetti x , Have pmd , Dave

I bought a Harold Burrage, Mountain Of Soul , M-pac , supposedly a Charly release last week , for £5.50 clearance sale , arrived in a white sleeve , instead of the usual brown Charly cardboard sleeve , looks exactly the same as a Charly product , good sound quality , looks the same but it looks and feels suspect , maybe I'm just being spooked .

This a copy currently on eBay £ 157. There's a definite difference in the label , and dead wax , but here is the label ,

If it is a boot , there are none doing the rounds , eBay etc , at least not yet !

Thanks Douglaschip for the above post , I didn't watch Top of the Pops , so have never seen that performance. I do recall Jools Holland had a gig I think at the Royal Albert Hall , including Sam , Eddie Floyd , Booker T , & his Orchestra etc , but Sam didn't perform " Plenty Good Lovin " which was a great surprise at the time and disappointing.
