Mal C Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Mel Britt. your on your own dude.... Not easy this, as you have to extract records you may not like that much, that actually are quite good, from ones which are musically BAD, and of course I hate them, so here goes.... deffo Joey Delorenzo, dreadful record, some others that are very expensive but crap: Jerry Walker — Mr Limp, LIMP in deed...... Ted Wilson both sides, utter crap... mans out of tune...!! Scott English - You made a man of Me, dreadful vocal..Guys a Pub singer, Righteous Brothers Band - Rat Race, WHY??? The Cammotions - Motown, really bad record. dont care what anybody says... Romeo Rand - I'm Coming In, why anybody would pay the money this normally goes for is beyond me...worst record on the label.. Marva Jones - I Got Your Number (634 7589), is a truly awful track..that The Four Vandals aint much better.. Angelenos - (Down In) East L.A - nah... The Magicians - (Just A Little) Faith And Understanding, this vocal is really bad.. Inst is I'm sure you will agree brilliant... Zu Zu Blues band - Zu Zu Man, Crap... beyond me.. much like Wombat - I'm Gettin' On Life, contrived, and dreadful drums...and folk pay good money for both discs.. Tom Storm & The Peps - That's The Way Love Is, just so depressing, really depressing record.. Tobbie Bowe - I can feel him slipping away - God awful vocal, and people pay two/three times more for this that Mamie Lee??? I'm sure there are more....

Mal C Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) thats it, I'd forgotten Joanne Touchstone — Walk softly, not surprising as her singing on this track is Truly awful, she sounds drunk to me... Actually the backing track I really like.. while were at it, dunno about this one, Gwen Douglas - The Picture, there is something about it, but parts of it make we want to jump out the nearest window, thats bad isn't it..

Jedpurkis Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Did anyone mention 'Night of the Wolf' by the Al Foster Band yet? I can't be arsed to go right through the thread(sorry).

Hill868 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The one that really does me in the Frankie and the Classicals "What Can I Do"- her voice is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for me. Also- "Moonlight Music In You" . Can't agree, classic, tho' very dated 60's soul sides, don't ever hear them out anyway, so no point in slagging them off ?

Popular Post Quinvy Posted March 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2014 Wow! I can appreciate that he's not the greatest singer in the world, but the record has the storming Detroit backing track and the classic pause for the hand claps.
