The Orlon's - Spinning Top

Posted

Just got my hands on a copy of The Orlon's Spinning Top - what a fantastic bit of vinyl!

Does anyone know of anything else by them that is worth listening to? - I have heard a few of thier more do-wop type of sound, which isnt quite my cup of tea.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave, couple of good tracks on Cameo. "Envy" nice track, but not cheap. Good cheapie, mid tempo is " I Aint Coming Back" about £15.

Don't you Want my Lovin - Big fave of mine and a regular play in my dj sets. Always popular with the floor too, and often get someone coming over to check what it is. Still cheap I think too... I paid $30 for a lovely mint yellow promo with factory sleeve a couple of years ago.

CROSSFIRE?

I am sure i had this but in a good copy just about playable and wondered what it was usually me class it as straight forward soul.

CROSSFIRE?

Not sure I'll be able to make Xfire....

As has been said. Both siodes of Envy are superb.

Was one of the lucky few who saw them perform both songs at the Rocket.

Envy was on my first ever wants list.

Hmm! i was there that night too... the only time I wentto the Rocket Allnighter.

However I was SO off my face I can't remember a F-kin thing! :wicked::yes:

That's what half a bottle of Yukon Jack & a few Jack n Jills will do for you i guess.... ho hum! :thumbsup:

The Orlons' amazing original version of the Searchers' 1963 hit "Don't Throw Your Love Away" beats everything else they ever recorded into a cocked hat. It's not a dancer, though, merely a classic piece of Big City Soul.

Gotta love "Heartbreak Hotel", too - and also their post Cameo Parkway ballad "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby" on ABC is very underrated...

TONE :thumbsup:

Thanks guys - excellent stuff as usual. I am gonna try and track a few of those down - I liked going places, but not quite convinced by Heartbreak Hotel.

Thanks again,

Dave

i saw the orlons there too and sandy sheldon and really felt sorry for them as they were both great

..

a great shame

got a us demo of envy from warrington for £2 !!!

them were the days!

Could anyone actually dance to Spinning Top? Must be one of the 3 fastest northern sounds. Fastest has got to be She tried To Kiss me by The Butlers.

the orlons - don't you want my lovin -> what a great tune!!!

gotta have this one...
