Tony Smith Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I thought this was a manufactured tune when i first heard it.On one of the recordings from a while back,on the intro,if you turned it up really loud,there's a dj type "Oh Baby" can be heard. Anyway,its one that grew on me,and i think the frailty in her voice adds to the production.After all there loads of NS tunes where the singer can't "sing".........7/10. It is a manufactured record, done as a favour for a friend of Popcorn's his barber's wife or, something, there was a thread about this..... I've got a couple of broken 45's I might stick on at this rate! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

NEV Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 could be the case that some dj will play the boot, then when someone comes up to the decks to check it out, the said dj will pull the original copy out of his 1000 x 45 record coffin to show off his prized possession still in its cardboard sleeve( and off course he will explain that hes had his copy for years before it went big and paid 0.99cents) then the next thing you know his cred goes from 1 to 10 lol unless off course you think the record is crap?? actually sounds quite a good plan, must put a bid in....lol happy soulin russ Thinking out loud again I see Russ 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tony Smith Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't understand what is meant by 'manufactured record'.....could someone explain? thanks Not sure how you link to previous theads... from Rob Moss 19.02.10 "Popcorn told me that a guy came to him with a singer he wanted recording. Thought he was a barber and seemed to think the guy's name was Geneboro" and from Dave Thorley also 19.02.10 "Popcorn told me that it was a contract job. She came in wanting to put a record out, paid Richard whatever, he recorded her, arranged pressing and handed them over to her. As far as he was concerned that was the end of the story. Took him a while to remember the record when he was first asked about it. Producers like him would work on their own material for their own labels or the label they were signed to at the time and also do contract jobs. So Richards name does pop up on a few Detroit things where his involvement may have been little. Normally when you see executive producer on a label, the chances of them being at the studio when the track was cut is only 50/50" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andy Rix spoke to Margret a while back don't think she had a copy of the record. I spent a number of years trying to find the barber in question, but after Richard has passed. So asked his daughters and friends who this could have been, but with no luck. All I found out was he was based somewhere on the west side of the city, but that's a mighty big area...

Premium Stuff Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It's now USD $898 - which translates to over GBP £550! The current high bidder bid $667, then $777, then $888, then got the high bid with the $898 - what does that pattern of bidding tell you? It's turning into quite good entertainment now If any of the bidders are on here, please step forward so we can all ask you what on earth you are thinking :lol: Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
KevH Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) What i meant by manufactured,was for the NS scene.It sounded almost too perfect, to clean and precise in the production,then add in a vocal like that and bingo. Of course i didn't know,at the time about Popcorn Wylie's influence,so the above is all bllcks.I thank you.

Steve L Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think he just means "custom press" and "custom recording" No Kev meant Tailor made, or something recorded recently and made to seem like an old record ala four vandals 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Another phrase we use for such 'manufactured' records is 'tailor-made' - i.e. not an original recording from the time, but one made more recently to copy the original style. Some of the Ian Levine stuff falls into that category (and I don't like it) for example. Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tony Smith Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) I think he just means "custom press" and "custom recording" Pretty much, also including vanity recording, another example could be Dora Hall on Rainbow she couldn't sing a note but, her husband was a businessman who got records pressed for her.

Guest chorleybloke Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 People can knock it all they like but it rams every dance floor everywhere. It's not soulful, the lyrics might not be great, her voice might not be great but it is a great northern dancer. Spot on analysis Chalky. And lets not forget, bidders on this calibre of record are not necessarily NS enthusiasts, they just like to collect rare artifacts. Kev Murphy told me that a bloke walked up to him after he'd just played his Larry Clinton issue with an envelope stuffed with 8 grand. Kev knocked him back and spoke to him about it later - turned out he knew bugger all about NS, but wanted it because of its sheer rarity.
