Who cobbled this cobblers' together?

Edited April 8, 200619 yr by Simon T

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!

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

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?

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.

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.

Bloody Hell,would never have thought this was legit ......No wonder they never released it !

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!

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.

And so they did .....One of the scenes most popular instrumentals IMO
