hi y'all,

I really luv:

Skip Jackson & The Shantons - I'm On To You Girl (Dot-Mar)

just wondering if there are any similar-sounding 45s around?!? cos this one got a special groove, that's a bit different to most of the x-over 45s I know...imo!

thx in advance for your help!

cheers, m.

I think Eldridge Holmes "Lovely Woman" on Deesu has a similar feel to the Skip Jackson record.

Hi Matt, take a look in the crossover thread in the audio section, packed full of great tunes. Hope your well.

Ps.I played Skip, when we djayed in Hamburg.

Brett

I don't know if it is the groove or the vocal similarities that you're after, but many of the beach scene tunes has got a similar groove to the Skip Jackson and Matt Brown tunes posted above.

If it's the groove you're after, try these:

I might be miles off ofcourse...

Chico Lamarr -what do you think I am?

Pricey but brilliant Women like it harder ! Milton Parker

Hi Matt

Check out recording by Johnny Gilliam, many of his early recordings have the X factor

What Price by Nathan Williams on Lime records ?

Im confused Brett ...i though Matt was asking for similiar tunes that sounded like Skip Jackson??

Nathan Williams is without a doubt a great crossover record ,but sounds nothing like S J imho

Hopefully catch you next week if we both manage to get to S.O.N

Brett

Doh..!

No worries Brett..i was'nt offering my bed to you ..don't think Jo would appreciate it ..especially after her comment at Leicester to you

just to add I think the swet soul flip on skip jackson is very good making it a worthy 2 sider

also hoping to make the 29th all nighter if all things go well. Nothing sorted yet as usual usually a last minute job

VERNON GREENE - LOOK AT ME ,LOOK AT ME- MINIT.Ta Ray

Another with the same sort of feel is Ronnie Shannon - Sweet games of love, maybe a bit more 70's, but a stunner

I have an uncredited acetate that sounds just like it. It's gonna be my Skip Jackson cover up! :0)

Don't split hairs...as long as it plays on a set of decks then.

Frog down...I'm a house basher.lol

Frog down...I'm a house basher.lol

Frog down, huh!

Seems to me that I'm only about as good at transferring records to PC format as you are at laying bricks, mate!

Sean

Sean

Lol....a monkey can lay bricks frog up Sean, that's the easy way.

Don't think they even make em with frogs in anymore ,for obvious reasons....people laying em frog up,using too much muck...costing firms, so they had to go !

Shame cos they were nice and light in the hod

I'm 'old school' Nev.

British Standard Codes of Practice BS 5628 -3 The Use of Masonry and BS 8000-3 Workmanship on Building Sites state that "Unless otherwise advised, always lay single frog bricks with frog uppermost and double frogged with deeper frog uppermost.

And them old blue Engineering Bricks, back in the day, weren't lighter in the Hod mate, believe me...

Anyway, all that said, I'm not uploading me acetate so bugger off.

Sean

OK Sean. Agree to disagree and no probs on the sound file.

Back on track with the music and one that you put me onto,that i never realised existed?

The Bobby Burn on J M's auction looks stunning

Hi Nev, I remember when me and Sean played at the first EMS dayer about 4 years back, I saw a Bobby Burn on eBay the same week, I told Sean excitedly about it, he listened intently, then just leaned towards his record box and produced his copy to show me..LOL..

. Ps that went for 4 figure US dollars...

The gamble copy fetched more than four figures on ebay late last yr in $$$

In terms of similar-sounding records it might be worth looking into The Impressions catalogue as they genuinely invented this type of bouncy harmony dance soul with "Little Young Lover" in 1961-2 and continued to make records in this vein throughout their career. From the Skip Jackson timeframe a great one is "Wherever She Leadeth Me" on Curtom.

How about, Little Milton..So Blue (Without You) Checker. Sounds very similar to Skip to these (cloth) ears!

Blake

Little Milton is awesome & cheap as chips! Nice one!

Check out Joe Murphy's version as well, it's another good take on that tune:
