shufflin 905 Posted January 31 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 1 BabyBoyAndMyLass reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S 2,737 Posted January 31 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 . 6 Patto, geordiejohnson, Timillustrator and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timillustrator 307 Posted January 31 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. 3 Spain pete, Mark S and MGM 1251 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomangoes 1,441 Posted February 1 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 MarkyT and Mark S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daved 737 Posted February 1 On the whole I agree, but I do like this version of Fantastic Johnny C, Perhaps it works better with 70s records 1 SteveCee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinehead 1,495 Posted February 1 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 Timillustrator reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shufflin 905 Posted February 1 (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 by shufflin can't spell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
