The Devonnes - "I'm gonna pick up my toys" - spoiled by me playing it over and over when I first heard it

First Choice - "This is the house where love died" - same as the above!

I'll grow to love 'em again.....................eventually :D

and Ultra High Frequency - "We're on the right track" - loved it to start, but stopped loving it after many plays

The Snake. End of conversation

:D

If you loved it and now hate it, leave it for a couple of years.

A bit like soul web site forums....................................... but just a fortnight should suffice for those.

I agree Baz.Got it in my playbox but always stick others on decks & it never gets played.

Reminder - Play out at Bournemouth Uni in December. :lol:

Was asked to play this sat.nite at Exeter by guy who hadn't been to soul night in years.Didn't have it on me.Saw him up dancing later in my spot when I played "Come on Train" & "Too Late".

Agreed Baz. A top drawer double sider.

Is this as opposed to played out oldies? If so then none. I'm a loyal kinda guy.

Freddie Houston "If i had known" i distinctly remember loving this at Stafford but now for the life of me i don't know why. Absolutely hate it now!!

Derek

Sam and Kitty cover up- all alone. Seemed fantastic at morecombe in the 80's. UTTER, UTTER B#####ks

gloria jones,tainted love..saw her live in the mid 70s at a p/boro all-nighter not sure which venue though.

and the one that really makes me cringe these days,danny monday,baby without you, what was that tune about !!! i never really liked it in the day,somebody call me a doctor somebody call me a nurse, i think thats how it went!!!!,yuk,a big `homer` shuddder from me.

Bazza my old friend are you sure it the tune or the fact the bloody things about 7 minutes long & you could do yourself permanent damage dancing to the whole tune??

Tunes that do my head in are: Gloria Jones-Tainted Love, adored it when I first heard it but now everytime I hear the intro all I can envisage is that to**er Marc Almond of Soft Cell singing.

Don Thomas-Come on train, absolute anthem at every venue in the 70's but you can get to much of a good thing & I'm afraid with this I have.

Brothers-Are you ready for this, played out as much as Checkerboard Sq's-Double cookin but not as good a dancer, makes me head for the smoking zone & I don't smoke.

Loads more I'm sure, just can't remember at present but I'm sure we'll be revisiting this subject numerous times.

Take care & be safe,

Spot. :)

p.s. Bazza you at Empress saturday?? How was the cd's??

People That's Why - The Idle Few :)

Except that I never loved it, not even 'once'...

Proby fans of the world unite - Northern fans need not apply :D:D:lol:

To say what I've probably said before . . . MOST records that are classed as 'newies' / 'top sounds' are mostly old hat, are played out (must be nearly WORN out) 45's. There is NO insentive to attend a SOUL do anywhere in the country on the grounds, that you've heard them all before!! Don't get me wrong, I do like a dance . . . but I've got to a point where I would only dance to my fave record of all time to appear ( "Paris Blues ". . . that is why I only dance at home!!!). Spend £1,000's or £100's on an overplayed 45 . . . they must be NUTS!!!

p.s. dance with no fag . . . forget it!!!!

Gil scott-heron- The bottle, makes me go straight to the bottle :lol:

THE FOOTSEE :lol:

You may laugh, but to some people (quite a few), this was their introduction to Northern Soul in the earlyish 70's!! If it was played as a 'New' sound now, I bet a $1000 it would have been accepted. Anyone got the balls, play it and see.

Still recon 'Paris Blues' is still the most underplayed 'oldie' ever!! A St.Ives Classic . . yeah!!
