    that's because you're listening to the wrong side. "so good to have you home again" is one of the greatest sweet soul sides of all time.

Good news Kent anniversary does absolutely nothing for my ears or soul.

Mello Souls - "We Can Make It" - A dreadful tuneless noise !!!

Reminds me of the quality of the cassette recordings I used to make at venues in the 70's.

Very difficult to interpret the tune.

Regards Bob

Ken> No way! Good News is like one of the best soul records ever!

Hope you are well btw mate. :thumbsup:

Yeh fine mate and same back :thumbsup:

If you like it good,but happened to mention it to Micky Cruise at the weekend and he agreed with me so 2 of us don't like it !

Most of them ! IMHO

this is definitely true for me, but mainly because I'm not coming at it from a "northern soul" collector. A lot of those tracks sound generic and boring (and often terrible) to me. But I can see how they would be important to other people who danced to them and how individual records are historically important to the northern scene.

Agree Boba , but don't you think sometimes rarity overtakes Quality , just because a record is rare doesn't make it good.

I can understand people paying big bucks to finish a collection of labels because there is always that elusive number missing.

Hey , this is ' The Strange world of Northern Soul ' :lol:

Cheers

Swifty ( who has no rare records at all !!) but I love what I've got) :thumbsup:

I agree with this also

J T Parker, Papa Bear and his Cubs, Trannells, William Powell, that should stir it up a bit.

Mick Perrins

Hadn't heard PapBear ...... , surprised on first hearing, sounded like "rock and Roll Part 1", but then got marginally better.

Only my opinion of course

that's because you're listening to the wrong side. "so good to have you home again" is one of the greatest sweet soul sides of all time.

We often forget that that records were made of two types, i.e an uptempo number on one side and a more mellow side on the other, throw of the dice I would say, if one don't work the other might. A lesson picked up by the UK distributors in so much as Footse/seven days too long. One is sacrificial.

Antelects - Love Slave... I am going to get bang in trouble for this ..... :yes:

Kind of thought it was ok initially, but whereas some tunes grow on you and become firm favourites, others have the opposite effect, this falls in to the latter.

Timi Bleedin' Euro - It'll Never Be Over For Me - can't be too soon for me !

Jackie Day - "Naughty Boy" - Nought out of ten more like !!!

Mello Souls - "We Can Make It" - A dreadful tuneless noise !!!

the flipside is just...marvellous. sweet harmony with a good dance beat. top.

...a few I cant see the attraction in

scorpio & his people

hector riviera chance for blablabla (maybe just a case of cant hear it ANYMORE)

sandi & the matues world

h. andrews tired of being lonely

the flipside is just...marvellous. sweet harmony with a good dance beat. top.

Joey Delorenzo - Wake up to the sunshine,, This record is so awful I'm not going to give it any credit by making snide remarks. Like if she 's got any sense she'll stay asleep,

Or at least pretend she is still asleep until Joey has got the message..."Help you to see into the night?" What is he a bleedin carrot?

Jd bryant , I won't be coming back,think its awful

I agree with you 100%. :yes:
