Posted September 9, 200420 yr Which is the one for you? - Jesus Christ I sound like a car salesman! (no offence to any car salesmen out there, I'll stop slating you when you stop accosting me!! ;-) ) Anyway on with the topic... Patterson Twins gets it hands down every time IMO!!
September 9, 200420 yr Bottom & Co is by far the better record, but with many cases the rarer version is tauted as the better; after all this must be most elist 'scene' in existence! (And guess which one I (elitist t***) own?!)
September 9, 200420 yr Author (And guess which one I (elitist t***) own?!) Would that be the Patterson T's then?
September 9, 200420 yr My wife and i for once have divided opinions on this one she is all Bottom whereas i prefer the Twins ;o)) JoT
September 9, 200420 yr Would that be the Patterson T's then? Yes. It's a odd mental hang up associated with collecting northern, I think. When you first get involved you don't give a monkey's about what the tunes on. Then you start traveling to hear Sam's and Serling's spots becasue they're the only ones playing something. Then you finally get a record where there's a couple of versions e.g. 'Gonna find a true love', 'I don't want to lose you' , and one's a fiver and fab and the other is a £100 and shit; but which one do we hang on to....... (don't tell me you haven't done the same :-) )
September 9, 200420 yr BOTH VERSIONS OF THE RECORD ARE F.A.B BUT I HAVE TO PLUM FOR THE MOTOWN EFFORT!

(don't tell me you haven't done the same :-) ) Yes I'v done the same. I suppose you can relate to seeing two totally different record for sale at the same price, (and like you said) one's worth a grand and the other's worth £50. Whch do you pick..??? Wanna swap/sell your Patterson twins? Can put together a good trade (inc. money) together...
September 9, 200420 yr bOTTOM AND cOMPANY EVERY TIME.....INTERESTING THAT SOME PREFER pAT TWINS......apologies had cap lock on
September 9, 200420 yr bOTTOM AND cOMPANY EVERY TIME.....INTERESTING THAT SOME PREFER pAT TWINS......apologies had cap lock on With me it has nothing to do with it's rarity i genuinly prefer the PT version not sure if it's because that version is the first that i heard or because that version has a little more Bolleaux, slightly funkier ifyaknowworramean ;o))) JoT
September 9, 200420 yr Author bOTTOM AND cOMPANY EVERY TIME.....INTERESTING THAT SOME PREFER pAT TWINS......apologies had cap lock on Turn it off then dumbass!!!??

Wanna swap/sell your Patterson twins? Can put together a good trade (inc. money) together... Sorry I not interested in swapping / selling owt these days unless it involves me getting Eric Mercury- Lonely Girl and Fred & Turbines - Bernadine, so the chances are very slim! (i don't need the money cuz I rob banks) Which leads me onto another strange Northern 'mental' thing; has anyone noticed that if you paid £100 for it and can get £200 now it's much easier to let go than if you paid £5 and can now get £500 for it?
September 9, 200420 yr Author Funnily enough I was offered both of those as swaps, and the SOAB picked the two rarest in my collection. I had to say no, which is understandable when they've been in my collection for nigh on 30 years. Don't like Fred & The Turbines - over rated and over priced IMO. And another thing... Has anyone got a copy of Jimmy Thomas - The Beautiful Night - Parlophone Promo? I've given up the search for a black 'un so the cheaper alternative will have to do...

September 12, 200420 yr MR SMITH THANKS FOR THE DEDICATION MATE ;O)) I MISSED YOU AT THE END LAST NIGHT SO COULDN'T DO IT IN PERSON, TOP SPOT BTW JUST WISH I'D REMEMBERED WHAT A PIG THE PATTERSON TWINS IS TO DANCE TO LOL JoT
September 12, 200420 yr Don't like Fred & The Turbines - over rated and over priced IMO What do you call over priced?
September 12, 200420 yr Well it's worth a few grand innit? Yes, there's only a hanful of known copies. Personally don't think thats over priced considering what some stuff that are far from rare are fetching these days.
September 12, 200420 yr Author I only think it's over priced as I don't like it. If it was a fave, it'd be a snip!
September 13, 200420 yr Bottom and co every time PT is a bit too disco for me Kin ell Adam that's rich coming from you LOL ;o))) PT has at least two more balls than the Bottom version ;o))) JoT
September 13, 200420 yr Author I admit, the BC is probably the 'nicer' of the two, but the PT is more 'geddupango'.
September 14, 200420 yr - Jesus Christ I sound like a car salesman! (no offence to any car salesmen out there, I'll stop slating you when you stop accosting me!! ;-) ) Anyway on with the topic... Patterson Twins gets it hands down every time IMO!! Well i've heard niether so cant comment if anyone would like to mail soundbites of said choons that would be rather spiffing Oss tritch
September 14, 200420 yr Author I posted links instead (you'll need Real1 in order to play). You'll find The Patterson Twins about half way down - the far superior cover IMO... Rarer too! Bottom & Co.
September 14, 200420 yr Bottom & Co for me - definately the more danceable (if that counts for anything). Probably one of the best things on Motown from the 70's Anyone got any other fave northern style Motown tracks from the 70's??? Another personal fave is Date with the Rain - Eddie Kendricks (Tamla), still a bargain bucket price of £15-25 at the moment!
September 16, 200420 yr Yes a good tune there Ferrett........ Just seen your picture at Ducie Bridge, relevent to me cause i'm on there this month. Oh almost forgot..... Bottom & co. for me.
September 16, 200420 yr Author No, no, no!!!!!! This is all wrong!!!!!! It should be Patterson Twins, Patterson Twins, Patterson Twins all the way!!!!!!!! Aaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 17, 200420 yr I love both versions, but the Patterson Twins will always be the boss for me.....Ivor Jones made me a tape few years ago including the extended album cut of the Patterson Twins version..... absolutely blindin' sax break, it you get the chance give it a listen!
Anyway on with the topic... Patterson Twins gets it hands down every time IMO!!
