Kick it off with 'You dont mean it' Towanda Barnes.

Can listen to this over and over but could never do it justice on a dancefloor.

Roscoe & Friends - Broadway Sissy get a bit frantic at times!

Remember speed kills, and I'm not talking velocity!

Shake - British Walkers... fast and then some... real full on stomper... blinding

Was just a moment ago racking my brain for fave Tempests tracks... and came to think of one of my fave REALLY fast tunes. "Can't Get You Out Of My Mind". Have a listen:

Also, Fredrick Knight's debut disc, "Steppin Down" on MAXINE, is just slightly too frantic for the dance floor (as I experienced this past friday... ):

Another fantastic frantic track is International Kansas City Playboys "Everybody's Goin' Wild":

I played theTempests 'Can't get you out of my mind' track out last night.

Even pitched it up 2 notches. Nobody batted an eyelid, Camden freaks.

Great tune. Surely impossible to dance to

The Magicians "Keep your hands off my baby" Villa..........1000 mph!

BH

great tune Blake - anyone got an mp3 of this?

Old one but Night Owl (Bobby Parish is it?) used to be able to do half of it ... don't even attempt any of it nowadays

Feel the Strollin' beat in this version Mandy

HAS 2 B

CODS/SHES FIRE

HEARD THE PHANTOM JANITOR(DOWNBEATS) THE OTHER DAY.CANT REMEMBER HOW IT GOES NOW.SO ILL PUT IT IN JUST IN CASE IT WAS FAST

Agreed 100%.

Shouldn't this be rarer than Frank Wilson as there is only one known copy???

This starts to look a bit like my wants list... Anyone got spares of Barbara Christian "Not Like You Boy" and Eskew Reeder "Better Believe In Me" that they'd like to sell? Thanks in advance.

[/

i got spares on both those titles, drop me a line if you still need em , sometimes i spin the eskew reeder even at -2 it's a tad sharp but proper northern soul !quote]

The Orlons "Spinning Top".. Could never dance to it and had forgotten just how good it was until I was reminded via one of the Talcum Soul comps

attachmentid=7330

Once upon a time I could dance to this, but same as Mandy not now, Love to watch others though. Oldie, yes, but still holds a special place in the heart...

Another fantastic frantic track is International Kansas City Playboys "Everybody's Goin' Wild":

Or Big Maybelles Quittin time. Reminds of the old days at Ace Club in Gothenburg. It had to be this fast. That Belgian collection with Int City Playboys, King Coleman - Hang it up , New youk city baby was the hottest CD to have . Great days those back in the 90´s...... ^_^

Alex Patten - No more dreams is maybe a bit tricky to dance to or ?? Only heard it when I´ve played it myself so not much chance to try it on the floor

Alex Patten - No more dreams

great tune

Whata bunch of wimps! The Orlons, Towanda Barnes, Vel-Vets.... Too fast???!!!

When you'd popped a dozen Dexies, these tunes were mid-tempo floaters!
