Dear Deirdre, I've Gone All Mid-tempo, Please Help

Posted

I've been spending my day off going through some records I bought recently and realised that I've gone all mid-tempo! 

Is it something that affects us all from time to time?

Here's some of the stuff:

Compliments - Beware, Beware - Midas

compliments.mp3

The Superlatives - Lonely In A Crowd - Dynamics

superl.mp3

James Phelps - Don't Be A Cry Baby - Fontana

phelps.mp3

Jackey Beavers - Bring Me All Of Your Heartaches - Grandland

jbeavers.mp3

The Players - Why Did I Lie - Minit

players.mp3

If anyone is still awake after these, grateful for comments on my condition

Thanks

Paul

Thank you, I haven't actually got The Players yet, "won" it on Ebay last week so I hope the postie does his stuff.

Compliments - Beware, Beware - Midas

Excellent tune :yes:

Tommy Ridgely - My Love Gets Stronger - International City

Faye Crawford - What Have I Done - RCA

Eddie Whitehead - Just Your Fool - Blackjack

Heres a few all sort of ranging in the mid-tempo neck of the woods :yes:

Willie_Cooper___The_Webs___You_dont_love_nobody___Whizz.mp3

Celest_Hardy___You_broke_my_heart_and_soul___cover_up.mp3

Byrdie_Green___Get_a_hold_of_your_self___20th_Cent.mp3

Baz......... great choice mate, one half of an amazing double-sider :yes:

I see you have the rarer Dynamics release.....mine is the Back Beat one.

 

mmm....mid tempo. Lovely lovely lovely.

You seem to be in fine fettle to me young Paul. I've got a couple of these on tape somewhere & I shan't rest tonight until I've found them. And the Willie Tee! One of my all-time favourites, cheers Joan :yes:

Quite simply one of the (many) best records every made. :yes:

I'm sure plenty have got the September (Jones?) tune which was a big northern tune I think? I actually never played the northern side so I don't know what it's called, but the flip-side is an incredible deep soul cut 'I Go Crazy'. Check it out if you've never listened to it.

This is great ... just as how soulful is this record ...

:yes: super record. one that seems to have been forgotten or neglected by dj's.

Oh b*gger! I'm so slow at posting that by the time I worked out how to do the quoting thingy (& messed it up) loads of you had added more tunes. I'll be on here all night now :yes::yes:

Bought this off mick smith 10 years ago ,was a stafford £100 tune deserves more recoginition & plays

not too slow, just about the most perfect mid-tempo ever awsome :D

'Proppersolemusic' to my ears, in a different vein but easily as good as 'Don't Send Me Away' in my humble.

always been a big fan of midtempo stuff, so much better than all those stompers

here's a few i've

Jo_Armstead___A_Stone_Good_Lover___Giant.mp3

Tom_and_Jerrio___Come_On_And_Love_Me___ABC_Paramount.mp3

Kenny_Carter___I_ve_Got_To_Find_Her___RCA_Victor.mp3
