Dave Rimmer Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Bloody hell that was brave (although I have to admit to having a soft spot for it myself). Admitting that on here must surely be as tough as standing in your lounge at home as a misunderstood teenager, looking your mum and dad straight in the eye and saying "Mum, Dad, I've got something to tell you". Ahh yes, but how many, as soon as they read the post immediately sang the chorus in their mind.......I know I did ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest KEN-SOUL Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Carstairs - It really hurts Pete Smith Wigan at its best MY MATE AT THE NITERS USED TO SAY THE CARSTAIRS WAS "TOO SLOW" TO DANCE TO? AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APOLOGISE TO PETE FOR CALLING HIM "MAD". SORRY PETE, I DIDN'T MEAN MAD I MEANT BONKERS! IT'S NOT REALLY FAIR TO CHOSE ONE RECORD, AS THEY CHANGE THROUGH TIME: "WHEN YOUR LONESOME" "MEAN IT BABY" "CRYING OVER YOU" "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" "I CAN'T SEE HIM AGAIN" "WHERE I'M NOT WANTED" "IF THATS WHAT YOU WANTED".......

Soulfreak Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Trippin' On Your Love - The Staple Singers.

Ernie Andrews Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 crackin up - roy hamilton, just a pity theres not a version by elvis as for non soul u2-one non soul lp bat out of hell Bat Out of hell was produced or mixed by Todd Rundgren who played on some tracks and co-wrote some. The Title Bat out of hell -came from a song in the Album by Todd rundgrens Utopia(Adventurers in Utopia) "Shot in the dark" Last verse last line - Mama took off like a "Bat out of Hell" Just some useless musical information that I need my arse kicking for!

Freebie Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Despite what it says in my profile (Never had a love so good-Charles Johnson), I think the one record that would keep my spirits up on a desert island would be "I love her so much it hurts - The Majestics", a fantastic intro and upbeat tune that you just couldn't help to feel lifted by.

JOHNNYBETCHA Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 like a rolling stone - bob dylan This old heart of mine - Isley Bros [ the record that got me into this feckin glorious mess ] pete lyster This Old Heart Of Mine was probably the record that got me into it as well - first heard it in the King Mark disco in Newquay in 1968 on holiday and I was hooked, line and sinker - them fellas cost me a small fortune! I could have bought me a castle with the money i've spent since then! If youre like me you change your mind as the years go on - I remember creaming myself over the Invitations and getting blown away at the Catacombs by That Beatin' Rythmn but if I had to choose it'd probably be The Marvelettes I'll Keep Holding On - has this got the shortest intro ever?!!

"I don't know where I'm going, don't know what I'm gonna do............etc. Great record to dance to to top it off. I just hope once I turn up at this desert island I can find a turntable!!!!
