Guest Shufflin Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 got the original version and was surprised to see this come out, adds in 'hand clapping' and more of a chugging beat? what do you think of these re-edits? I think Joy Lovejoy was re-done by someone else last year Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark S Posted January 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2019 The whole point for me with NS is the originality it reflects a time and a place in history and amplifies that . Re edits have no place on the scene in my humble opinion . 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Timillustrator Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Interesting, pointless and horrible! A bit like remakes of classic films like Alfie, The Italian Job, Get Carter (and 1,000's of others) may introduce it to a new audience but the people doing it would be better off spending their time doing something original rather than trying to "improve" the past. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I guess if somebody actually made a really great tinkered version over the original, it might work, but I've yet to hear such an example. Obviously tunes have different versions by different singers ( When I'm gone - had a nice version by bonnie pointer for example) and or even instrumentals get words added in (Like the Bird walking vocal), but it's what it's been done just for the Northern Soul scene's benefit, it winds everybody up. It's a no from me. Ed 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Daved Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 On the whole I agree, but I do like this version of Fantastic Johnny C, Perhaps it works better with 70s records 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Shinehead Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Pointless to me seem more fun to the mixer than the public and records from the 60s were meant to last only about 2 and a half minutes , no point in fleshing them out . Less is more. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulfusion Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Is it not a little bit like covers; most are worse, some are good but nearly all lack the originality of the original! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Lazy workmanship, piggy-backing on someone else`s hard work. Do something original, if you have the talent that is! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Shufflin Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) the new Temptations re-edit is not bad imo (label is FLIP-006), they've definitely remixed the vocals / harmonies and it's an interesting take on a classic Edited February 1, 2019 by Shufflin can't spell Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
