Hi All,

Very surprised this quality 45 acheieved £1577.48

what says you

ATB Steve

Have to say I'm surprised too. Thought it would only go for around £800 top whack.

I'm surprised anyone would pay more than a fiver for that pile of junk...the whitest sounding black record ever made...

It's f*cking crap, if that was by The Association or some clean cut white group you'd hate it because you're a soul snob

Hehe, not quite, all that stuff had been and gone before I came into the scene, That's what all you real soul boys danced to.

Seriously. I love it, you don't. Fair enough. Worth every penny!

It was woody,s all time want for years and when he managed to get it some years ago, it made his soul heaven, we both love it, and it gets played out at every opportunity, we all have different tastes on this scene, and it would not do for us all to be like sheep, so no falling out

we never thought it would go for as much as it did, however, if a collector bought it, then price don't matter , for as woody always says to me, a record is only worth as much as you are willing to pay for it,and always believe in your records, and I think they are very wise words

Well that was a nice reply

Iconic NS.Great dancer as well.Miles better than some of the white sounds that have been readily accepted on the NS scene.

Are the Southern Artists and Bell pressings equally rare or is one of the two rarer, less common, than the other?

I could be proven wrong, but I think there are more copies on Southern Artists flying around, making the Bell press rarer.

I love it to bits. Sounds white and poppy like hell but soooo catchy. One I'm sure I'll never get tired of hearing.

Always thought it was a white outfit and was quite shocked to learn it wasn't.

You're in a minority here Pete, it's a tune and a half..

George Lemons anyone ..?

Doesn't matter - I'm not going to change my mind just because you lot like it !

Hy-Tone Deafs you mean!

BY the way, The Hytones - BIgger And Better - Abet, what a sound that is, now that's a fantastic track, where did they go so wrong?

its a different hytones pete

its a different hytones pete

You sure - both from the same place aren't they?

its a different hytones pete

when Ady C issued "good news" on 6Ts anniversary 45 it was revealed that it's the same group wasn' it?

edit: it's a Shades article that says they're all the same outfit:

Happy memories of getting back to my home town after the Leicester allnighters, sitting at the traffic lights by the post office and singing this to myself while watching a pretty girl working on her market stall.

Great tune. Absolutely love it, and it has stood the test of time IMO.

You sure - both from the same place aren't they?

Yep - the USA!

Pete you constantly make my day with your hilarious comments, I mean that as a genuine compliment, as soon as I saw the thread I knew where it was going with regard to your self, but I couldnt help myself - sorry .................I respect your opinion BTW, but I'm deffo misunderstood, soul snob, I think not, I like plenty of proper blue eyed soul, particularly from the Carolinas, however, like your self I can be quite opinionated & speak my mind, therefore we aint gonna change our mind just cos you dont like it .

keep it up mate

You too Russ, it's only a laugh at the end of the day and you should know by now that I never mean anything nasty. Well I did mean that the record was an absolute clinker, but nothing personal...

Pete,

A lot of white soul music was played in the early years,Stafford played music that was of the right genre.

White or Black, it's a great Northern Soul record, and the world is a better place with it!

Gary if anyone has ever championed white Northern sounds it's me, I've got absolutely nothing against blue eyed Northern at all, I love stacks of it, I just think this particular record is f*cking rubbish that's all, black or white never ever enters into it as far as I'm concerned. I also hate The Carstairs incidentally.

its very wet, hard to believe this is the same group that did good news, now thats a niter record, hats off to him for drawing 1500 quid for it, i wonder if he`ll sell my car for me

But Pete, you're the one who first mentioned the white/black thing in the first place

Come on,admit it, it's a great record!! lol

My name is Dave....And I am With Pete

It's a great catchy pop record - and hard to believe it is the same group that bought the Abet offering and Good News (is it the same?) - but no need for it now

It's a complete bag of wishy washy shite.

Black or White, makes no difference to me - the fact it it sounds like the Four Preps does.

It's a complete bag of wishy washy shite.

what he said...

now we're talkin'

well said that man, wishy washy shite indeed

I like it but feel deep down that somehow I shouldn't

Love this song, I think it's beautiful, if a bit understated. Surprised at the vitriol it's inspiring here! Anyhow, i'm for this track, not that anyone on here should care

If truth be told, it's a record I've always loved since first hearing it in 1989 when Gary Spencer played it covered up as "I Love You Just The Same" by Lee Otis Valentine.

(ducks under the parapet)........

also one of my all time favourites .......... and why the suprise at £1500..... if you know your stuff youll know that this 45 never turns up on any label

Seeign as you are ducking under the parapet and was expecting this I'll oblige

Played a good few years before Gary by Pat Brady. Was a big big record back in the mid 80's and still a good record and no surprise it fetched what it did, still packs the dancefloors.

Well, never in the history of Soul Source have I been so outvoted on a record - there's only me on the entire site who doesn't like it! Have to say I am very surprised, unless there's a frightened few out there. Really though, if we all liked the same thing it definitely WOULD be boring.

There's at least 3 other posts on here , besides yours , mauling the record Pete . Unless you think that "wishy washy shite" is somehow complimenting the Hytones "45" ?. Or have you lost the plot completely ?

Judging by the general consensus, the Hy-Tones is:

Scroll up a couple, Pikey ... Dave Abbott.. George & Mildred ..

Keep yer hair on, might help if I read all the thread I suppose, thought I had!

Its an absolute stunner, stone cold, drop dead gorgeousness of a record & you lot need your ears syringed, I expect it from Pete, I'm suprised at Mr Abbott though.........

Russ

Judging by the general consensus, the Hy-Tones is: Marmite

Yup,

That's scraped from the Devils arse-crack as well.

, I'm suprised at Mr Abbott though.........

Russ

Why?? You know what great taste I have got :-)

Why?? You know what great taste I have got :-)

I think Pikey has been scraping brown stuff from your ass crack mate.......I generally enjoy your taste in the soul n funk stakes David, however in this particular instance you are spouting ectoplasm ..........maybe you had to be there .

Hope you are well my friend

Best Russ

maybe you had to be there .

Ah, that old Chestnut.

IMO this is one of the worst records ever played under the banner "Northern soul" - another being "Lady In Green"- which is also popular in some circles (but so are Gimp masks).

As stated it sounds like a bunch of preppy college boys doing a Glee style lash up of something that was once a Soul record.

It's lacking in any musical "bollox".

To summarise it's got nothing that appeals to me, and therefore IMO belongs in the shite can.

If you "Had to be there" then i'm fcuking glad i wasn't.

maybe you had to be there .

...what Pikey just said all of it

...and also - exactly that was then, this is now and if you read my post i said 'there is no need for it'

which there isnt now

i am good me old matie :-)
