Pete S Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 And one of the very best female vocals and still one hell of a good record today.............timeless legend! https://youtu.be/mJHO5ar3wP0 I agree this is a great record but the actual vocal is not great, you can't hear what she's saying a lot of the time. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Could have been clearer......I meant that it was one of the best girl records on the planet Pete Also....if they were to clean up the vocal to today's standard it would ruin the atmospheric feel of the 45.

KevH Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 How about these. Lou Roberts - You fooled me Belles - Dont pretend Volcanos - False alarm. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 OK Jock this mornings little selection was, Dobie Gray - Honey you can take it back, Rosey Jones - Have love will travel, Rotations - Changed man, Mike Jemison - You'll never get me love, Attractions - Mams baby, Edwin Starr - Don't tell me I'm crazy Thank you kind sir, the Rotations one and the Edwin Starr one were the ones driving me crazy. Fantastic records, and surprised but delighted at old Edwin. I did get the Mike Jemison one, still have my copy when they suddenly appeared em masse cheap, in 81 according to the sleeve, and put it in the growing pile of 45's for sale where I have doubles or have it on an LP's ,but looked it at for 10 minutes, gazing lovingly and then decided it would better framed on my wall as an artefact of my jounrey rather than selling it for peanuts. ALways loved it, always will, and yes that certainly reminds me of Station Road on a Saturday evening, when I was starting to find my feet. Great 45 and again quite amazing thinking of it being a main room monster in todays fragmented scene The Doby Gray would surprise many I suspect, I remember Dave Molloy digging it out, I looked over cynically and then though wow that would sound great out, not sure I ever have heard it out, 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Davenpete Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It predates the Casino Mark, it was reissued in 68 or 69 because it was so popular and never deleted, it was a revival in early 1978 and that's when the Congress pressings were done. Les Cokell certainly played it at the Wheel - we have his old copy somewhere (he hated it BTW). Dx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Matt Male Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) What about - Evil - by Posse on Janus. This still gets plenty of plays.

Dave Thorley Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Thought "Honey You Can't Take It Back" was Mecca? How about this Always thought of this as a Yate tune, was first found by the late Gary Jeffries (brother of Steve), who sold it to Ian Clark. Who played it at Wigan ?

Gary was a real nice guy, who was sadly killed in a car crash on the way back from a Whitchurch alldayer I only know it from Pep playing it at Wigan - this would be pre October 76, reason I remember this, our youth club always did a trip to the last night of Blackpool illuminations, and I bought this on the morning of the trip.
