Added a couple more.

Remember buying Pamela and never really paying any attention to the B Side.

Mick H plays his out and has for many a year now. If anyone knows the background I would put money on Mick.

George, A man after my own .. I did the same thing, sold mine 30 some years ago to pay for 'Family' Really miss that one. First track to really grab and hold me. Good look with your search. Tezza PS: The Nomads as well arrggghhhh !!!

Quite an aggressive stance ? I do not have to qualify anything to anybody. If you know your History, as you say, then you will be able to answer it yourself. We are not talking specifics or just the good stuff. All artists, whoever they are, produce some rubbish and amongst it we find a little piece of heaven. Motown is a prime example - Because it's Motown doesn't mean it's great ! As for Genre, there are many genres of Soul music and I am not tying it down to a specific wether it be old, new, Northern, anything. Not going to get into an I am right and you are wrong type of argument. Difficult enough to put into words exactly what one is trying to say and it will always get misinterpreted. I, for example, don't understand what you are asking ? Or your use of 'wtf'. Don't like the use of abusive language despite it being hidden within a TLA. Take care and have a great day.

Awesome statement !! As you can see I didn't bring up the subject or mention 'great'. Didn't tie it down to a specific time or genre either. Interpretation is a wonderful thing. Have you a spare seat in your prejudiced heaven or are there specific criteria you must adhere to before membership is permitted. Wherever your Soul takes you this weekend have a fabulous time And remember, not everything on Google is true XX

Standing in a corner with my head hanging - Lol ! Point taken Mike

Undoubtedly they were mostly an opportunity to cash in on a trend. That's where some of the, shall we say, less acceptable attempts were born. Despite that though some artists/companies with a little integrity did covers as they loved the music and not just as a quick buck generator. It is done by so many others in different genres yet not really spurned. How many Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Dylan covers are out there but seem to be accepted readily. But that is taking us away from the idea of the tread which isn't talking about generalisms but the quality that does lie within.

Dismissive in that very statement. " Hi. I said they were nice tuneful pop records " - Not taking each record on its merits we immediately presume, looking at the wording, that they are all nice tuneful pop records. The colour thing was brought up by Jim not yourself. British seems to be a big no no though.

My Mum used to Tap her feet to Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke !! Lots of sweeping statements being made with no qualifiers. So now we must dismiss stuff because they are White, British and liked by your Parents ??

True Pete. Don't know what came over me - I'll get back to my Lonnie Donnigan CD !!

Have we mentioned Dusty anywhere on this thread ??

I've had my say so now everyone can sod off ?? Very sporting of you old chap.

Although the particular record Pete talks of isn't one of my favs ( entitled, as we are all, to his opinion ), Black Origin ?? Cannot believe that Colour has been brought into this. Yes its predominantly a Soul Site but how many White Origin Soul Records are out there. We have a thread running on here asking for peoples fav 'White' Soul Artists/Records. Didn't realise Soul was protected by some invisible semi permeable membrane ??

We had Glen Miller at ours, and such a nice guy too. Whatever happened to him ?? Can't honestly recall what we had at ours. Whatever it was it was deffo OVO !!!!!!!!!!

Wayne Gibson - Under My Thumb

Yes but he wears corrective shoes.

The Spandells - Say No Girl

Same here. Always believed it to be an original copy. Never big enough to justify Booting i should imagine. Can't see why though, lovely voice, quality track IMHO.

Cats Eyes - Life Dark and Moody

Just made enquiries about this and may be able to afford it if anyone has one for sale - £ ??? Not 100% as will depend on price. Needs to be in good nick as will get played out.

If I won the Lottery next week and could afford to, how much would I expect to pay for original copies of :- The Ivorys - Please Stay Gene Toones - What More Do You Want Jon and The Wierdest - Can't Get Over These Memories The Admirations - You Left Me If I did win the lottery next week the first thing I would do is buy Chesterfield Football Club !! If I got 4 Numbers I'd take my Wife out for a Chinese as well.

I have asked that whilst walking down the 'Aisle' With my Coffin I want 'Samba Pa Ti' by Santana 3 others :- The Yum Yums - Big Thing David Bowie - When I Live My Dream Sam Cooke - You Send Me
