I never thought it would happen but just now I heard a record that is even worse than It Really Hurts Me Girl by The Carstairs. In fact it has it's own thread elsewhere. ZZ & Co - Gettin ready for the get down. I wanted to projectile vomit on first hearing, I managed to stick it out for about 40 seconds, but I still feel unwell now. If someone was to play this followed by Dutch Robinson and tell me they were ground breaking Wigan classics I think I'd have to decapitate them. Even worse, imagine Searling playing ZZ & Co, Dutch Robinson and larry Houston in a row. I'd have walked out and never gone back if I hadn't stopped going already. WORST RECORD EVER.

I can't understand how anyone who likes 60's uptempo northern soul cannot like the Vel-vets.

Its an handbaggers toon thats why and doh you dare start summat off about that now!!!

JB xxx

Its an handbaggers toon thats why

Think your getting confused with 'Do I Love You - Frank Wilson'...now thats a handbaggers tune without a doubt.

Vel-vets is and always will be a classic Northern Soul tune.

Martyn

Since when?

And Smiffy.....

Martyn

Oooooooh!

Just can't spell em actually.

neither can I.

Love 'em both actually. Most uptempo things by the Velvelettes(Motown) plus the Stormer "I'm Gonna Find Me Somebody" By the Vel Vets on 20th Century.

I may also have spelt(or spelled) some of the above incorrectly, or even got a name wrong, gammar or punctuation may even be incorrect.

Yes I do know the difference.

Paul

Please tell me this is a wind up, that 2 members on here do not know the difference between the Vel-Vets and the Velvelettes!!

If it is a joke, you got me. Otherwise I am flabbergasted!

Ok so i got em mixed up!! Its still crap!!!

JB xx

Since when?

Since the majority that get on the floor to dance to it are handbaggers!!!

Bizarrely, I've been to Prestatyn three times and I spent most of the time in the modern room, not for the music, it was the best place to relax and have a good chat!

Well I knew Phil Shelton for years, and his sister, before you knew him in fact and it never meant f all to me.

I also don't understand the point of this post Paul, you saying I'm not allowed to mention the title of a record because it reminds you of someone?

The worst record ever is a Northern soulie? Never! Not with all that C&W out there, and the Death Metal stuff, and electro... But absolutley THE worst record ever is 'Whole lotta love' by Led Zeppelin. Ghastly rip-off of a perfectly good blues number that made made oodles of dosh for the band which they refused to share with the composer until he took them to court, then when they settled they only agreed to pay royalties on subsequent sales, all royalties trousered thusfar remained trousered. It's a terrible record on every scale imaginable from the ethical to etherial...

I rest my case...

Didn't they rip it off the Small Faces who adapted it as an album track? Might be getting my tracks mixed up but on the Small Faces first album they do a very well known rock song which was then adapted

"Whole lotta love" is supposedly drawn from a Willie Dixon song "You need love" and Dixon eventually won an out of court settlement for copyright infringement.

so whats it's fate Pete.Hammer,chainsaw,Black and Decker,heated up into a bowl shape?

c'Mon Pete...........if its a ,lets see it get what it deserves.

I take it you've not heard "3rd window from the sh*te"- d.barlow

brilliant R&B a little over played but brilliant,as said each to their own

the Flasher...ewwwwwwwww!!!!

Nothing wrong with Magic Carpet ride.

Ger out its utter rubbish,steppenwolf did a better tune called "Magic Carpet Ride" great tune

Bazza

I can't understand how anyone who likes 60's uptempo northern soul cannot like the Vel-vets.

Its the "Whoooo" bits that I don't like, otherwise its not so bad, but those bits make my fillings ache.

Is it true that if you play the Carstairs backwards you can hear satanic chanting?

I have said many times before that The Three Chaps - 'Will You Or Wont You' is the worst Northern record ever. I've seen it on a list so it qualifies.

It's so stultifyingly bad, I for one would rather listen to Drum & Base!

Pete if you can find an old obscure Kenny Lynch 45, you'd be able to find a soundclip of this I'm sure. If you've never heard it before, it'll make ZZ & the Carstairs sound like Don Varner & The Mello Souls.

I like that as well!

Well I can guarantee you that any decision like that would have been made by Peter Grant and by the record label because Robert Plant has always doffed his cap to his influences and wouldn't have taken that stance.

Yes. Hilarious. I like Magic Carpet Ride.

Fantastic tune, big DDRR spin, always packs the floor!

She's done a few good things actually, a couple of them quite soulful imho.

Simon

Yup - A selection of Tory party conference speeches .

bit off topic - here's Robert Plant doing a Benny Spellman cover

Sorry Pete, but when I saw the Title of the thread I thought it was a wind up, I know that music is a personal thing but "It Really Hurts Me Girl" is one of the most gut wrenching peices of soul you could ever want to hear, one of those records where category ( northern, crossover, 70,s deep) doesn,t come into it, just an awesome SOUL moment. Just a heartfelt opinion mate thats all.

Thats how you hear it Kev, I have no problem with that, everyone has different tastes and opinions, which is why we have a forum to discuss it. I hear it as one of the worst vocals ever recorded, and I promise, I'm not the only one. It's screetchy and out of tune. And so are the backing singers.

Yes. Hilarious. I like Magic Carpet Ride.

Pete, No matter how bad my day is going you always make me smile with one of your threads or one of your one liners.

You are in the wrong game mate

Ouch

But then I feel the same way about Johnny Sayles - Just Can't Get Enough ...which is Satan's nails down a blackboard to me

I'll just batten down the hatches

I'm f*cked if I'm having someone say 'shame on you' for not liking the same records as they do.

Where do we find some of these people?

Pete if you can find an old obscure Kenny Lynch 45, you'd be able to find a soundclip of this I'm sure. If you've never heard it before, it'll make ZZ & the Carstairs sound like Don Varner & The Mello Souls.

Gonna find this fecker if it's the last thing I ever do.. Figure out the poll thingy n'all..
