I rest my case I was at Broughton Wings the night Sam first played it, he was super excited to see the dancefloor reaction to it. it fell flat, however he persevered with it and made it the Soul Sam anthem that it is now. I was at Culcheth as well when he played it to another appreciative crowd. I can't be certain but he may well have played it at Skegness but someone else played his first.

Dave Pinch Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 it might have looked the vg grade but it sounded fair or g grade at best... it would probably have to make a trip to the legend that is Yann Vatiste for a really good clean up before being inflicted upon the public 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bob, We were both at The Manor niter in 2001 when Sam had just got the tune, and played it there...he didn't cover it up either...possibly because the chances of another turning up immediately was remote, that theory was debunked pretty soon that year...that was highly likely the first time he'd spun it out, heard it again at Manc Ritz bank holiday all nighter not long after, same response: floor packer. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stanley Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 my own question was on seeing the advertised asking price of 10k for a vg copy that sounded awful ,how much would a clean ex or mint- copy be worth.....great tune though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Solidsoul Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 It's good and great for the Northern Soul dancefloor. I've always thought there's a similarity in the backing track that reminds me of the Magictones "It's Better To Love". 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The intro less the trumpet is very nearly the same indeed,in fact if it was a tad faster it would be the same!

My last lot of records were simply to play at my event. I couldn't really afford them, and as soon as the event was over, I sold them as soon as possible. I'm the only person that I've ever met, that admits they love Dj'ing. How often have you heard the old, "I'm not bothered about Dj'ing, I'm more of a collector, but people keep asking me." Yeah right, then they travel 200 miles to play in a little room to six people. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm no longer bothered about Djing but I used to love it, still do when I occasionally Dj. Great buzz seeing a full dance floor to your records. They aren't Djs today just sheep all playing the same stuff, total lack of imagination for much of the scene. I tend to stick to the same few venues where imagination is still welcomed.

Popular Post Peter99 Posted October 16 Popular Post Share Posted October 16 Back to the record in question............................... You can pick it apart bit by bit but; this is one of those records that typifies the old school "northern soul" monster. A proper record for dancers too.

It is great all-nighter music though, the backing is something else Wasn't it a case of singing over the ready made backing track , perhaps not the same feeling to the vocalist , as singing with a live band ? Still a good result though to these ears .

Benji Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I'll never forget this quote from Derek Pearson about Mike & Ray - If only you knew. It's just as fitting for Margaret Little: "Vocally a bit iffy but what a backing" 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
