just spinning a few tunes as you do.....i really love the underproduced tracks that sound like they were

recorded in someones bedroom..one that stuck out today was.... FABULOUS FOUR - IF I KNEW - SAINTMO...wot a dreadful tinny backing it has but by god do the vocals make up for it ...

have you got a fave track that is a tuneless cacaphony until its covered with a fab vocal??

Denise LaSalle - Heartbreaker Of The Year. The worst out of tune horn section you'll ever hear, but damn fine vocals

I always remember many years ago buying " Wendal Parker - my love's on ration - Capricorn " which is an instrumental, and a very shakey one at that, very poorly recorded, sounds like it was done in someones potting shed at the bottom of the garden, I still play it at home sometimes to cheer me up.......it's so crap.

Hi ,

Check this out it's Jimmy Gresham the night before he reported to the

Federal Pen, banging away on a piano, and belting it out.

Percy Sledge's 'When a man loves a woman' has a terrible backing. When Sledge heard it, he insisted it had to be re-recorded - only for the first verson to be released (and become the first 'deep soul' number one record).

Agree - there's defeinitely something garage like about that one.

On the subject of poor recordings, always thought it was a shame that the Fuller Brothers classic didn't have much more punch. Poorly mastered perhaps?

Hmmmm..... idea for a thread. I'm off!!!!!

Tomagoes "Really, Really Love You" - doesn't get much more stripped down that that (and all the better for it!)

Leah Dawson "My Mechanical Man" on Magic City. I wonder if that was before or after Choker Campbell was at Motown.

Also Lorenzo Manley "Swoop Down On You".

I still love both tracks though

Paul

love its alright - jesse james (i think i have the title/artist right there )

that one always sounds really tinny too. weird production.

i also believe a lot of your big 70s fans dislike the 60s stuff because of the production and not neccessarily the song. i have friends on the modern scene who tell me this.

James Bowens And His Agent With Bill Smiths Hitch Hikers - Baby I Want You - Roosevelt Lee

Badly produced, Noisy, raw, messy, but for some reason I love it.

This was to my knowledge the first time (1977-ish) a Northern Soul collector (can't say who) erased the vocal of a Four Seasons STEREO LP recordings, were put it on cassette tape posted it to Bob Cattaneo and out pops 500 neat looking 45s . That could be the reason it sounds so bad.. but a pair of great instrumentals on a great design label.

How about The Styles - Baby You're Alive on Modern.Backing is all over the place and slightly out of tune in places.
