vaultofsouler Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Just had a listen to The Visitors - "Never the less". Lovely sound. Great harmonies. link It is isn't it Billy.... thought it was one of "those" you have, like, but no one else seems to know let alone have.... that changed when I read Mark B was mentioning it .... Moral is.... you're never on your own .... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A totally unnecessary 'wooh'. That was probably some producer who had an inpromptu 'bright' idea. Got stoned about a zilliuon years ago with a guy who used to play Bass in a band called Blue Angel. We were listening to some of their stuff and there was this tune called "Sugar Blue" thqat the lead singer a guy called Gus Isadore sang really well. The song was spoiled by the opening where Gus shouted "Sugar Blue". Gus had been told to shout it by the non-performing producer. Must happen all the time.

Guest Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I've probably left off some essential Major Lance, here. This is one way of finding out. I'll cast my vote for "You don't want me no more". link Ive voted for Investigate, there's so many great Major Lance tracks it's difficult to pick just one. However I would have voted for Since I Lost My Baby's Love if it had been up there. northernlass Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulsmith Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Feel for you there Steve. Back in the 70s a mate once asked me to ask for the Dj for The Dramatics - Inky Dinky Wang Dang Do.......except he got the title slightly wrong & the Dj thought i'd stepped off the special bus.

Rbman Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 For my money has to be 'The Beat' the Major at his very best........ Regards - Mark Bicknell. link Mine too......got a copy on Dave Godin's Soul City which I got Major to sign when he appeared at California Ballroom in late 70's Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
okehgaz Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Voted for "you don't want me no more" - epitome of the northern sound! Anyone who liked the "i never thought........" track should try his 80's lp "The Major's back" on Kool Kat. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Jamie Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 My faves not there either." Youre everything i need" link Good choice. My favourite 70's track, and one I'm listening to a bit recently at home Mr favourite 60's has to be 'You don't want me......' Yeah I know it's had some pasty, but I still love it. If I need reminding what 'Northern' is, that does the trick Jamie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

He told me to give it a listen, he was right, I bought one that week. I'm sure the playboy release is a different / later mix of the same track. Totally different arrangement. Also on the Dakar version is a different version of 20th century / Minnie Jones "Shadow of a memory" Haven't heard "HOW MY LOVE GOES" must try and give it a listen, any chance of a sound file?

okehgaz Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Think the club near Stoke was "Razzamataz", or something like it. I can remember someone selling a series of excellent photo's taken at the concert, via Blackbeat. Lost mine! Anybody got any copies? The Hinkley concert was recorded(Chris King maybe), much better sound quality than the Torch album, think i bought my copy at Morecambe.

Djr Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I voted for 'Ain't No Soul', as that's one of the few Major Lance 45s I own, but 'You Don't Want Me No More' is probably the best I've heard by him. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
