July 2, 200816 yr yes top detroit oldie. been around a long time and by that i dont mean 42 years dave
July 2, 200816 yr Don't like it, never liked it, it's just lacking in something...a decent song I think. Backing track is great though.
July 2, 200816 yr Don't like it, never liked it, it's just lacking in something...a decent song I think. Backing track is great though. That puzzles me Pete...I think its got everything there which makes a great record...but hey...each to their own
July 2, 200816 yr That puzzles me Pete...I think its got everything there which makes a great record...but hey...each to their own Dunno, I remember it getting it's first ever spins at Wigan and it didn't quite do it for me.
July 2, 200816 yr Dunno, I remember it getting it's first ever spins at Wigan and it didn't quite do it for me. Im just a sucker for mid-tempo records with catchy riff lines so it was always going to be a winner for me
July 2, 200816 yr Dunno, I remember it getting it's first ever spins at Wigan and it didn't quite do it for me. Played by Mr Levine first at the Mecca.............before Station Road
July 2, 200816 yr Played by Mr Levine first at the Mecca.............before Station Road and perhaps the Ultimate Northern record....BUT....to each is own......
July 2, 200816 yr Im just a sucker for mid-tempo records with catchy riff lines so it was always going to be a winner for me In my top five fav`s brilliant track, top class imo
July 2, 200816 yr Dunno, I remember it getting it's first ever spins at Wigan and it didn't quite do it for me. never did it for me either pete from first time it was spun at wigan, preferred the other one by her 'does he love me anymore' think that was c/up as vickie baines ' all that i wonder'....class
July 3, 200816 yr Played by Mr Levine first at the Mecca.............before Station Road Never said it started at Wigan, I just said I remember it's first play at Wigan..
July 3, 200816 yr It s a proper soul record of the finest type imho. It was lovely to meet her last year at Northampton , she was singing lead for the Elgins. She s an absolute darling and still has got a brilliant voice. She sang the line" Just like you did me" to us in the bar and said she wished she hadnt papered her flat with those Sonbert discs https://www.livevideo.com/video/C49B5B25A29...-like-you-.aspx From a few years ago! Edited July 3, 200816 yr by Catriona
July 3, 200816 yr In my top 5 of all time. Upbeat (Mid Tempo my arse!), great young femme vocal, kitchen sink production. Great record with great memories attached.

I think although I have a decent knowledge of the scene I fall flat on this subject of mid tempo...to me this track is mid tempo...its not a ballad...its not a stomper...then surely its somewhere in the middle? confuses me so can anyone clarify?

Compared to Tim Tam and The Turn Ons its mid tempo, but in general turms always been known as uptempo.

July 3, 200816 yr Compared to Tim Tam and The Turn Ons its mid tempo, but in general turms always been known as uptempo. see thats what I thought Tim...there are alot faster tracks out there than this...granted there are alot slower haha but ive always seen uptempo as stuff like you mentioned and others like Luther Ingram 'If its all the same' my fave Frankie Valli 'The Night' etc etc.

July 3, 200816 yr did tony clarke write this one dave? Yes. I'll try to find a scan of the record and post up. Edited July 3, 200816 yr by Simon T
July 3, 200816 yr Compared to Tim Tam and The Turn Ons its mid tempo, but in general turms always been known as uptempo. And what exactly is the relation to Tim Tam, why exactly are you classing the 2 records together. totally lost on the connection. Yvonne Vernee is a proper NS record, Tim Tam is a toy town NS record for the plastic generation, or am I missing something???

July 4, 200816 yr She's still got the voice, ain't she? Unmistakeably her I reckon... Love the way the band picks up that also unmistakeable Detroit vibe at the end.
July 4, 200816 yr Speed dear boy, not quality IMVHO (aka covering my a**e) you would have had to take enough of it to kill a horse to even consider Tim Tam anything to do with this. Thats like comparing it to a Dickies (or whatver they were called) song or Ramones record, in fact they probably have more in common than Bim Bam and the Turn Offs or whatever its called.

I think he meant the speed like JJ Barnes our love instead he chose a crap pop record
July 4, 200816 yr I think he meant the speed like JJ Barnes our love instead he chose a crap pop record Your so right Ted [ crap pop record ] but i remember it filling the floor at the Casino, dosnt say much for are beloved scene at that time does it.
July 4, 200816 yr Your so right Ted [ crap pop record ] but i remember it filling the floor at the Casino, dosnt say much for are beloved scene at that time does it. yeah you have a great deal of difficulty convincing anyone that Lynne Randell was soul
July 4, 200816 yr never seen that what a foookin voice top class I was there that night...frickin' incredible moment when she sang that after her Elgins set. Shame she came in too soon before the inst break finished, but hey it didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now. Nice to see that footage...thanks for the link.
July 4, 200816 yr Has she been over here before? Yarmouth???? Torquay 1990, as per the clip already posted.
July 4, 200816 yr Torquay 1990, as per the clip already posted. having not watched was assuming clip from Northampton
July 4, 200816 yr I fall flat on this subject of mid tempo...to me this track is mid tempo...its not a ballad...its not a stomper...then surely its somewhere in the middle? confuses me so can anyone clarify? Mid-tempo doesn't fall between uptempo and slow, when people say mid-tempo they mean slow, think Bobby Hutton - Come See.. etc.. It's not a hundred miles an hour like The Combinations - Watcha Gonna Do, but Yvonne Vernee is still uptempo. Hope that makes sense.
