Butch C/u - Jean Carter

[Guest marco]

This is one of the few records that would benefit from having the vocals removed & being turned into an instrumental dancer (the vocals are that poppy and crap).

Can't say its a track I'd ever want to listen to away from a nighter venue, much better sticking with sumat with decent soulful vocals for real listening purposes.

 

I tend to agree with you - but boy does it (and she) sound good when you're blocked on the dancefloor at a nighter!

[Corbett80]

Flying headbutt allnighter northern of the highest magnitude

[Soulhawk1960]

Just listened to it for the first time and I love it 

[Arthur Fenn]

     no

yes is the ultimate tune ever,but never brings it to Berlin,maybe this July he will,

yeah, remember Mick when he turned to us & said "you expecting an oldies night" kin brilliant! only one person on this planet could say that  , oh! & for me Jean is one the all time greats, energy & atmosphere thats why we travel

[Guest giant]

I'm guessing this was done without him knowing, snide trick that IMO.

 

snide is understatement ,no doubt someone snide will do a carver  from that youtube clip.

[Kev Cane]

I do think some have a tendency to think that we're all influenced by the rarity of a record rather than its content, which in my case just isnt true. I've heared this said of records like Buddy Smith and the Prophets (Shrine). I had no idea of their rarity when first hearing them, just that they were both utterly amazing records.

Not a big fan of Love Slave though, but can completely get why some would like it, again like JC when bursting out of the speakers at a nighter.

Right there Byrney, but IMHO Buddy Smith is not up for debate, plain and simply an incredible SOUL record, some might say its Northern, some would even say its Deep, rare or not rare just incredible. Antellects on the other hand does nowt for me, and can understand debate rarity over quality etc

WTF the vocals compliment the superb orchestral backing IMO.....maybe bit poppy but crap, go get your hearing checked out lol.....like in previous posts when you hear this over a good sound system and loud it has that special vibe that most appreciate.....not heard it out for a long time about time Butch sold it on to a dj that plays it out lol.....

Just re-read this old thread, all those who said this record was "poppy" and not very good need to go & give their head a sheck to coin a phrase! 

One of the finest northern tracks ever to grace the scene, a perfect dancing record which sadly I haven't had the opportunity to do so for a long time now.......

Better than the Parliaments, Steve? LOL. Always said it was one of the best.

Northern perfection.

Poppy my a..e  as Jim from  royal family would say  this is about as far removed from pop as you  could possibly get.  Some folk need a  ear test lol.  One that still gets me to the floor when I hear it :-):-)

[Corbett80]

It's proper on every level. Smash the place up northern.

Then when this one ends you get the Mighter Lovers - wallop.

Some folks are crying out for old school northern still. Jean Carter fits that bill. 100 club only place to hear both on a regular basis. Note to self: get back down those stairs- Soon!

The only people dissing a record like this don’t do all-nighters.  Its a fantastic dance track! Records like this is what the scene is all about.

I find it laughable mate when records like this get slagged off.  Ok it might not be as black or soulful as some southern soul artist, but we aren’t talking chill out rooms here. It is a full on dancer, the type of record the niter scene has thrived on and the thpe of record it is crying out for now.

So true.  This is the stuff that keeps us going nighters.  Let them have their soul nights and cocoa mate

Careless talk costs exclusivity ... keep mentioning what they're missing and you'll have them turning up at the best nights out there with their packed suppers and bulk bags of the substance that mustn't be mentioned ....

It's a one-off Decca acetate - unknown artist, title "I Wanna Know" - which Butch has been playing for well over 20 years as Jean Carter. It's absolutely brilliant dancefloor dynamite, proper Northern Soul, old school, 100mph and atmospheric. It's not available on YouTube but it should be on this recording live from the 100 Club in 2001 - 

It's after Jesse James "Love Is Alright" (another one of his brilliant one-off discoveries) at 21 minutes in. If you don't feel it, you had to be there.

[BabyBoyAndMyLass]

That falls into what I would call the 'Northern soul' category, fully driving girlie dancer, absolute quality!

What can you say though? Butch innit! That whole tape is soul gold!

Stellar, thanks lads for turning me on to it!

To true  if the masses don't appreciate this there's no hope.  When ever I see butch  he knows of what I'm gonna ask him to play.  . This little beaut .my musical tastes may have mellowed over the last few years .to more crossover and modern but get this on the decks and I'm there full on ripping the floor up.

No, not having that. Its the whole package that makes it a classic. Poppy and crap? Never heard such poppy cock. Hearing this out at 3 am full blast is what it all about. Can't argue with the last paragraph though.

Two very good tunes Ted but still outclassed by Martha Jean Love’s ‘Old Time Lover’, Joseph Webster, Walter and the Admerations, Parisians and a few others. Of course it depends on the tempo you prefer at whatever stage of the night you’re at, but whether it’s an exclusive to Butch or one of three known copies, he sure has the magic touch.

[Baz Atkinson]

Mighty Lovers cover up is the dogs dandles never been so excited to hear a record since the Just Brothers and early days of Jesse James,the clip above does not do that record justice. Love Jean Carter also its longevity says the lot. I rarely get to hear Butch these days last time was Guys 60th but the MIGHTY LOVERS is the essence of the northern soul scene played loud its simply mind blowing. 

[Lucky One]

Brilliant record simple as that. All credit to Butch for getting hold of this little wonder he is the best DJ the scene has ever had.

[Corbett80]

Am i going mad or was there also an 'Original Matadors' cover up and a 'West Coast Distributors' one that Butch was playing at one time?!

[Speedlimit]

West coast distributors " girl I love you "  jam cha. Awesome tune rarely hear it out

I'm sure there was a WCD cover up that someone (i thought Butch) was playing. Maybe i've made it up! Hazy memory...

I think there is  have  seen it on a 100 club review from a while back and I was thinking "i like the sound of that " ,im sure someone will put us right. Listening to this clip again from above just immense.
