I obviously like the understated intro's.

Martells - Where can my baby be and of course

Rufus Lumley - Stronger than me.

Maybe its the base. To me its like the build up in your groin before an orgasm.

Another intro I like but not really a musical one:

Ladies and gentlmen, I know the custom has always been

To introduce a spokesman to you

Before the story begins

So with no further ado, let me introduce myself to you

I'm Doctor Love.

deep, dark secret has a distinguished intro. great in fact!

Shane

Biggest intro EVER just has to be ...

THE INVITATIONS "SKIING IN THE SNOW" !!!!!!!!!!

Love it or loathe it ( & i still love it, don't care) still a fantastic intro

If by biggest you mean longest, i think "Eddie Holman's" album version of "This Will Be A Night To Remember" must come close to that accolade.

Another for hitting you in the face- So is the Sun - World Column

Del larks. Job opening.

Long enough to put your drink down in midconversation (ie bullshit) and hot foot it for the dance floor.

PS Always thought it the greatest thing bout NS scene was that in the middle of a conversation at a niter if you heard the intro to a record you just HAD to dance to, you could just get say 'gotta dance to this' and head to the floor - and the other person would TOTALLY understand.

30 YEARS AGO: VIBRATIONS-CAUSE YOUR MINE

NOW: VIBRATIONS-CAUSE YOUR MINE

ED

You keep me hanging on -The Supremes...so simple but sooooooooo good

Lookin for a woman - The Brooks Brothers

Nobody But You - The Wooden Nickles

The Inros-stop look and listend

and the best ever...

Ciggarette Ashes - Sir James Conwell Esq

Nobody but me Human Beinz

Nothing can compete with this intro surely?

old school ......... you've been cheating - Impressions

now....... Joe Jama - My Life - the northern one

best ever - larry santos - got me where you want me

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr- ahhh......now whats that...

Sweeter Than The Day Before... The Valentinos??

Not My Girl - The Platters

Double Cookin' - The Checkerboard Squares

The intros that do it for me, well there's lots being so many out there, here's two,

if thats what you wanted, "Frank Beverly" and I'm where it's at " the Jades"

For me i find the intro to living a lie the high keyes hits the spot for me the songs ok but the intro is superb

bernard williams.....focussed on you, or don gardner....cheatin kind get me a rousted

bri.

Has to be Charades key to my happiness.

Tubbs

Nobody but me Human Beinz

Nothing can compete with this intro surely?

Yup. Rainbows - Help Me If You Can on Capitol - booted as Detroit Shakers - Help Me on Soul Cat.

Even more frantic than the 'Beinz. Feckin' barmy record these days but as a fifteen year old stamping about in the youth club...

Godz

Devotions "De dop de do".

Or "de do de dop" or whatever- the old Magic tones c/up.

Mighty rousing all the way, from jangly start, to finish

Paulette-Love You Babe-Contact

Edited September 13, 200618 yr by Tony Smith

'A Little Togetherness' - The Young Hearts

Invitations "Look On The Good Side" Great Intro'

Great shout I always think the girls wailing 'Are you ready, to be loved' is a clarion call to the floor for Ernie Lee Banks anthemic groover also.

One intro that always makes me smile is to Inez and Charlie's 'Tightrope'. Was anybody at the Derby Tiffs all-nighter when Colin Curtis was playing his new release stuff to virtually no response - the place was absolutely rammed as well. He then followed the Philly All-Star's 'Clean up the Ghetto' with Tightrope and I've never witnessed such a melee to get to floor - before or since. Great bank holiday doos though them Derby Tiffs doos

Paulette-Love You Babe-Contact

Good shout Tony.....

And you gotta be quick onto the floor for this or you've missed half of it before you know it!

Benny Lattimore - Girl I got news for you.

Also intro-wise and not yet mentioned - If I could Only be Sure - Nolan Fred Porter ..

How about the Montclairs "Hey you"(dont fight it).

Sublime intro which is not really in keeping with the rest of the track but works a treat imho.
