Guest gordon russell Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Interesting thread peeps. I'm gonna get slagged for this but I don't like that 'The Harvey Averne Dozen - Never Learned To Dance' Normally gets played a couple of times a night at the moment and fills the floor but don't like the lyrics "Never learned to dance, grooving with romance" What??? It comes across as a really cheesy song to me. Every bodies got certain records the majority like but you don't and you can't seem to understand it but there you go this is one of mine, don't shoot me i'm sorry (and a young un still learning) it,s actually........ "never learned to dance....in my underparnts" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest allnightandy Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Anything to do with the commercialisation of our scene Including : Anything produced /written by Ian "Molten Mix" Levine as he used to call himself Barbara Pennington Evelin Thomas L J Johnson anything 12" Any other manufactured soul records aimed at the unknowing of the time Betty Baker and the Jaxi's ,Wigan's Ovation, (I'll let Tommy Hunt off) Just this once ! suddenly discovered instrumentals to popular vocals , suddenly discovered vocals to major instrumentals etc Just about everything that would make someone a profit and Devalue our music i also hate all these look-a-like bootlegs that infest E-Bay which i have complained about many times but E-Bay like the revenue too much sorry about the rant !

Simsy Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 F£ck me, what was that,, No person could tell me they have heard that record played out, no way never..... No person could defend this???? Close the thread now, we have winner for sure... I think my boy John Manship went to the time & trouble to load that turd on YouTube together with a scan etc. Some effort for this utterly foul turd! Flipside is of course much much better, it could be a different group. But this Hermans Hermits effort .... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest allnightandy Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 IF ever you get chance to re-listen, Barbara Pennington's song 24 Hours A Day is absolutely superb, was back then, sounds even better now. It was manufactured /written by Levine for the purpose of making money as were most of the others i mentioned . You could say Billy Ocean would tick all the boxes for northern soul at that time and it was not manufactured for the scene It came from a time when certain people were exploiting the scene for what they could get out of it i saw Barbara Pennington live at the Casino back in the day also Evelyn Thomas and L J Johnson .They were typical mime artists I think Evelyn even managed to get on top of the pops. This stuff might sound alright to you but it was the reason me and many many more left the scene. The true northern was being replaced by manufactured music and anything original and new would be hammered to death , bootlegged and on sale at russ's record hut up stairs within two weeks it was a terrible time which almost killed of northern completely !
