    reminds me of a cross between "the snake" & rawhide, good example of the many different scenes with "the scene"

      It's derivative, unoriginal and poorly performed and produced, apart from that, it's great.  If this is representative of the biggest sounds of the past 10 years, then I'd say NS won't l

Wouldn't say classic just yet...still lots of legs in this one, although at the rate Pogson keeps turning them up, it'll be a classic sooner rather than later ;-)

An established tune on a rare soul or nighter scene does not make it a classic.

It's barely known and if it had reached classic status, it would surely be on YouTube at the very least :)

an absolute floor filler , love it !

Personally think a sound file would be a big help to sell a record like this.. Even if it is now a big oldie ;)

A Demo, or a booted copy?

 

Don't know Den - not my clip - seems to have just gone up

  :g:

White demo is the hardest to find!

Never seen, or heard of, a white Demo. :huh:

I put up the tune on YouTube as a result of this thread. I thought it was a bit ridiculous that it was not on YouTube when MP3s of the tune are easily found on the internet.

So, you have the white Demo then Sebastian? Cool. Like I said, never knew of, or seen a Demo of this before. :thumbsup:

No, I don't have a white demo. I just put up the MP3 on YouTube. I've never seen a white demo of this, and doubt that it exists.

 

I'll take down the YouTube clip in a minute and re-upload with another picture.

 

EDIT: here we go, new clip, hope this ends the confusion... :rofl:

No me neither although I can see the appeal to a dancefloor, so not surprised it's a popular 45. I've only heard it once out and I would say it sounded much better in a big room environment. Did he do anything else and is there anything else on the label?

He did a 45 on the MINI label as well. For some reason Manship has soundclipped the worst side:

"To Be Free" is no masterpiece, but it's at least uptempo and has got a slight mod jazz feel to it.

Sorry mate.... Its April fools day :)

Hahaha, nice one :thumbsup:

Add to the line of non-believers every dancefloor ever tried it on here in NYC, people here just didn't respond to it well, plus after playing it on a guest spot on Finewine's show had a friend go out of his way to tell me it was utter crap, ah well, still a good track and absolute rare as **** but takes a bit of time getting there, unloaded to a happy friend in Europe where it's way more appreciated at least (PS and kudos for the condition of this one, M- is impressive)

id be locking my threads in future.

Don't think this will affect Jim's sale in anyway mate - loads after it, very popular 45 in plenty of venues!

Feel like I've got the opposite of the midas touch when it comes to selling rare records. Never seen an empty dance floor to this, hardly turns up especially in this condition and just thought I'd try share the wealth here, never mind! Btw, it's on the sales thread now, set price.

Be very surprised if you don't move this mate - been a major club record for a while as far as I was aware

Odd how I suggest a soundfile would maybe help a guy sell his 45 only to have folk do the opposite...:(

Bad etiquette in my book to start posting your thoughts on the quality of the song in a sales thread.

P.s There was a copy at set sale for $5k on ebay that went in 24 hrs, so somebody must like it?

IF I HAD £2.2 K IT WOULD BE IN MY BOX./....FOR DEFO....BRILL QUALITY 45..WITH SEAN CHAPMAN PLAYING VALUE CAN ONLY GO UP!!

I put up the tune on YouTube as a result of this thread. I thought it was a bit ridiculous that it was not on YouTube when MP3s of the tune are easily found on the internet.

Why not just put a link to the mixes on which it features then? I wouldnt get an mp3 off one of your or anyone elses mixes and post it on youtube. I wouldnt post a soundfile of a track anywhere of something I didnt have though so must be me being odd.

ey up Callum mate, hope all cool. I heard this off paul at lifeline, must be 10 years ago, but bought it soon after off adam leaver.

I didn't know that it was included in a mix. I had it as an MP3, so uploaded it. Anyone that puts "jonathan capree mp3" into google will come straight to a standalone MP3 of the tune. Why should I post a link to an MP3 or a mix, when it's much easier for everyone (and along the site guidelines) if it's available directly on YouTube? Or are you suggesting that every tune uploaded to YouTube is done by someone who owns the original 45?

Sounds like Work Song.  

 

Sounds nothing like Cleveland Robinson (and don't you go researching a different tune... ha ha :) )

Didn't know he'd done it - just the other 2 dozen who had.

Come on then Peter, tell us the one you meant!

No, you're not :D

a bit frightening that just worked out  its 10 years ago since first heard this at the first Piercebridge event

I think Paul bought it that night ?

the years are flying by... too fast!

I'd have thought Oscar Brown Jr was the obvious one, no? :huh:

Johnathon Capree i reckon is a fantastic slab of Soul, i first heard Paul Sadot playing this a good few years back,

then a dj in the upstairs R&b room at Citrus Barnsley (was that Mik Parry?).

I hope not too many surface as then it becomes over-kill

As a vocal I should say. Nat Adderly otherwise, natch :thumbsup:

 

You know your stuff lad :thumbsup:

I like Jonathan Capree by the way...

 

Aaaw God yeah, you too have a good ear for a tune

aye that'll have been me. Since I got it - probably second to play it after paul, so was generally playing it to people for the first time - if the do has been a real party, then this will have sent the place into a frenzy, if the do has been a bit on the conservative, purist or sober (in both senses of the word) side, then it doesnt go down so good, and in fact does sound a bit inappropriate.

If there are parallels between that and those who like / dont like it...I couldn't say, but if say at 2 am in the Boiler, Barcalona, with the place bouncing to it, there had been someone stood at the side, disapproving, then i'd guess that they probably were a certain type.

but then i'm a party animal who was mostly off my fucking tits, an eccentric dance record like this is right for me. I never ever thought it would be accepted on the northern scene and was pleasantly surprised, and impressed by that scene, when I heard Flanny was breaking it upstairs.

Exactly. Very formulaic and has nothing else to say. Really poor in my humble opinion. If it was a tenner would you buy it? Not this child.  

And this is in look at your box, not sales.

Personally, I love this tune and never thought I'd own a copy. However just like buses they never come along individually, hence selling (or at least trying to) a spare. I never heard Paul spin this - it was Mik who introduced this anthem at the Pow Wow when I was starting to get into it all, hence this 45 having legendary status amongst the boys & girls. Regarding the youtube link, people who own this tune (prior to me) have wanted to keep this tune somewhat 'underground', on specific mixes and off youtube - I can relate to this for aforementioned reasons and not making it so easily accessible so people could easily tire of the track; really doesn't justify it.

 

 

With regards to those who don't like the tune, absolutely fine - different strokes! I don't like happy go lucky northern tunes and opt for the deep, dark & depressing (uplifting in my book) anthems!

Not throwing a spanner in but wasn't Adam leaver one of the first playing this I may be wrong, also Remember  Paul sadot spinning it

stirring tune , again first heard @ pow wow by Mik , an instant hit with that crowd .
