Spike far too many to metion spike but one i do keep hearing at the moment that makes my ears bleed is the instrumental to Lou Pride's - Im Comin Home In The Morn'un, drives me feckin bonkers
April 11, 201114 yr I remember Levine playing an alternate version of Cajun Hart`s "Got to find a way" about 10 years ago at a weekender and also on Searling`s Sunday show. He announced that it was a far superior version, no idea who it was but it was utter shite and an insult to the original. Edited April 11, 201114 yr by Guest

April 11, 201114 yr geofrey meteliko.........................it wo terrible. other side was opera i think dave thats the one ive heard, strange tune
April 11, 201114 yr The apparently german-only version of Cliff Nobles "love is allright" by the Johnson Brothers is horrible. Complete talent-free singer with very amateur-ish backing. THAT makes your ear bleed. Will post it in RefoSoul soon far too many to metion spike but one i do keep hearing at the moment that makes my ears bleed is the instrumental to Lou Pride's - Im Comin Home In The Morn'un, drives me feckin bonkers You mean Southwind Symphony? I think that's a brilliant version. But as they say one man's Helen Shapiro is the other man's Lavern Banker I remember Levine playing an alternate version of Cajun Hart`s "Got to find a way" about 10 years ago at a weekender and also on Searling`s Sunday show. He announced that it was a far superior version, no idea who it was but it was utter shite and an insult to the original. Isn't the sh*te one the first and/or original version?
April 11, 201114 yr You mean Southwind Symphony? I think that's a brilliant version. But as they say one man's Helen Shapiro is the other man's Lavern Banker yep thats it ...sounds like the Southwind Symphony were pished when they recorded it
April 11, 201114 yr Anything by the California Raisins, they are my pet hate. Also, a song I picked up at a car boot, "Baby I Need Your Loving" by the Fourmost, (a 60S Merseybeat band) sounds worse than me on Karaoke and thats hard to beat !!! Not worth the 10p I paid for it thats for sure!!! Edited April 11, 201114 yr by Girl Dancer

Spike Was it ever supposed to be a soul sound? thought it was only played (or given to be played) as a wind up ?
April 12, 201114 yr Was it ever supposed to be a soul sound? thought it was only played (or given to be played) as a wind up ? I agree Mike, no one ever claimed any of the records above are soul records. Plenty of non-soul played on the northern scene including Lenny Gamble. I don't think the original question makes any sense.

TBH Cajun Hart ain't much better !!!!! but not as bad as Bill Bush - "I'm Waiting" I'm waiting for somebody to tell me why it was ever played - it's pants !!!! Edited April 12, 201114 yr by epic
April 12, 201114 yr Buster Jones-Just A Little Misunderstanding Spring The worst thing about this is I bought it after hearing it played at The Winter Gardens.............I blame Stella.........Artois Cheers Martyn Edited April 12, 201114 yr by hullsoul

April 12, 201114 yr Its an uphill climb to the bottom - by Two people on Liberty (Unbelievable version (crap!) another one is Bo Donaldsons version of "Girl dont make me wait" Its so bad!
April 13, 201114 yr Anything on the casino classics label. lol Even Gerri Granger .......But can see where your comming from
April 13, 201114 yr Even Gerri Granger .......But can see where your comming from Well Gerri Granger's good but yeah some stuff on that label is shite.
April 13, 201114 yr Best and worst version on the same record: YOP / Jimmy Fraser Hopes, Dreams bla bla..... Instrumental, pants, cant believe this was the side that got played originally..... Vocal, oh YES! Edited April 13, 201114 yr by mark w.
April 13, 201114 yr .... and you can add Audrey Slo to that, but in reverse! Edited April 13, 201114 yr by mark w.
April 13, 201114 yr onbe mans meat, I love Bill bush. tis ace to these ears. One man's meat indeed, Cajun Hart would be in any all time favourite top 30 I ever did. Used to be number 1 for a long time. Bill Bush is ok. Geoffrey Metliko is shocking. Helen Shapiro is fabulous.
April 13, 201114 yr Even Gerri Granger .......But can see where your comming from Especially Gerri Granger, f*cking awful record, always was, always will be.
April 13, 201114 yr George Lemons - Fascinating Girl (Yip, a pure lemon!). Five Royales - Catch That Teardrop (Dirge) Tommy Navarro - I Cried My Life Away (Country AND Western!) When these are on it's fag break time, (and I don't even smoke!) Regards, Dave

April 13, 201114 yr Well now the topic changed from covers to any old crap, i'll go with cath-e-drells .
April 13, 201114 yr Anyone remember the Tragic cover of Bobby Diamond's ---Stop,by non other than Billy Diamond on Soul Stop label.Now that could equal Tony Blackburn any day
April 13, 201114 yr That cover of Just Bros sliced tomato's on disco demand takes some beating I thuink you just picked the winner! With Bok TO Bach on the B side I think. Also a terrible version of Tainted Love by The Jezebelles on the same label.
April 13, 201114 yr I remember it well as being a Leighton Buzzard c/u as Tommy Hunt, awful record! Geoff Metaliko that is! Edited April 13, 201114 yr by Tony Smith
April 14, 201114 yr Sharonettes- papa-mow-mow..........................ooh hideous tune, probably one of the worst "Northern soul" records ever
April 15, 201114 yr Author I agree Mike, no one ever claimed any of the records above are soul records. Plenty of non-soul played on the northern scene including Lenny Gamble. I don't think the original question makes any sense. If it don't make any sense to you don't get involved
April 17, 201114 yr The Sounds of Lancashire! got to agree with one, we had a DJ play this at one of our do's, me and Eddie Hubbard just looked at each other in horror
