April 6, 200619 yr yeah, it's another of those 'blue eyed' groups i was on about earlier! Originally called the Del-Chords then changed to the Magnificent Men, a great group in my opinion and their first album is chock full of out and out Northern soul! the lead singer & writer (Dave Bupp) is now a big soul collector and well into the Northern sound!
April 6, 200619 yr Who cobbled this cobblers' together? i had an obvious boot or reissue of this with the dogs on the other side, your sound file is excellent quality compared with my cheap vinyl, however record is still crap imho
April 6, 200619 yr Who cobbled this cobblers' together? Probably the same cnut who though vocals to Afternoon Of The Rhino,Double Cooking etc etcwould be a good thing .............Anyone want a Suzy Parker on Port?
April 6, 200619 yr i had an obvious boot or reissue of this with the dogs on the other side, your sound file is excellent quality compared with my cheap vinyl, however record is still crap imho Delfinately vocal desecration!!!!!!!!!!! What next?.....Harlem Rumble by the Montclairs??????????
April 7, 200619 yr Delfinately vocal desecration!!!!!!!!!!! What next?.....Harlem Rumble by the Montclairs?????????? I had an e-mail from Dave Bupp about 6 years telling me about this 45's and his early days, they were great friends with the Temptones. I think Dave is involved with this re-issue. I have nice picture sleeve copies if anyone is interested.
April 7, 200619 yr An early incarnation of the Magnificent Men, the "Del Chords" recorded the vocal to what we know as "Soul Step", but it never made it to vinyl. For some reason the Guys at "Treasure" records needed something to put on the flip side of the release "Don't Try To Help Me" and luckily for us used the instrumental cut of the "Del Chords" track. So the "Dogs" ain't the "Dogs" if you know what I mean!?! Anyway it's an interesting piece of Soul/Northern Soul history, but as a quality unreleased track, I'll reserve my judgement.

Des Bloody Hell,would never have thought this was legit ......No wonder they never released it !
April 7, 200619 yr I have to agree with you Martyn, to me it's a clumsy vocal performance. Somebody at "Treasure" records, however, thought they could salvage something from the backing track!
April 7, 200619 yr Back in the '70's I picked up a scratched acetate of a vocal to "Soul Step" in a junk shop in Barking but it played a bit woof so I sold it to a Yapanese collector. ROD
