Great double header 7". A side on British Kudu, 1977, was "Could heaven ever be like this" and B side "Turn this mutha out". Both excellent.

What I love about records like these was that despite being into Northern at the time you couldn't miss the quality and excitement of the music. So you bought it and kept it. Same with stuff like Jazz Funk at Birmingham Locarno, Reggae, you name it. If it's great music you hang on to it, and often you get that sense that it could work in a venue aimed at Northern if dropped into a varied set.

Great tune. How about seeing the Great Man himself conducting?

 

Saw him live at The Forum in Kentish Town - Now that guy had 'Stage Presence' :yes:

 

One of the Greats.

 

All the best,

 

Len :thumbsup:

Was featured as a new release on Robbie Vincents Radio 1 Soul Show in 1977 and I  got the shortened version on Kudo 7 Inch. Used to listen Robbie every Saturday night in those days and was hearing some brilliant new US releases at that time.

My parents had a pub :huh:  and every Saturday my old man would record Robbie Vincent and then play it in the pub (God bless him x) I still have loads of tapes from then .

 

Oh the Summer of '76 eh?

 

Swifty :thumbsup:

Superb that list Pete & right on the money for the Ritz Dayers too.

Brainstorm & Fat Larrys Band, massive.

Ginger still spins Will Powers now, great tune that.

I taped a good few as well but together with my Mecca, Wigan, and many Cleethorpes tapes got slung in the dustbin many years ago when no longer having a tape player at home or in the car. :( . Now have an Hi-Fi with cassette player.

Just shows how progresive the scene was in the mid seventies , Just to add a bit of ballance to the current nostalgiafest

Cant imagine any of this stuff getting plays at oldies do,s

My theory is this ,before the huge Mecca style new release/60s northern split 77/8 many of these brand new imports were played and largely accepted at most major(certainly St ives and Cleethorpes here in the east!!)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>after the huge backlash from the rift it was all dismissed as Mecca st*t that nobody liked by the 60 s only baggy brigade so none of them will want to hear it at their oldies nights, To me though the most amusing thing is that those so called experts protesting the loudest at oldies nights if something like this gets played,"whats this modern sh*t.....this aint "Northern" just goes to show they were never really there in the first place. The European scene certainly is hugely more open minded and progessive in my opinion is because they dont have this history , so too much "baggage"(excuse the pun)sadly excludes so many great records being played today .

I disagree slightly.  These records, like the ones in my podcast above, are contemporary releases of the time, but they are mostly uptempo 4/4 beat type things.  Even now things like Creative Source, East Coast Connection, James Bynum, I've never thought of these as being anything else but Northern.  Maybe because they didn't cross over to the charts.  Cameo, great record as it is, was very catchy and a bit poppy and I can understand why it's never been reactivated, up to a point. These records carried on being played after any split took place.  The quantity played was reduced simply because the sound and the beat changed and most became unsuitable as "Northern Soul" dancers.

Good post Epic :hatsoff2: even though there was a rift developing I had my feet firmly planted in both camps , loved the traditional 60s sounds as well as the newer 70s stuff I didnt care it was all great soul music to me .

 The Ritz at the time fused the two together nicely for me where else could you be dancing to the Salvadors one minute and then be stomping away to Hamilton Bohannan the next happy days for me and the breadth an variety of music staggering .
