Tiggerwoods Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 It Takes Heart - Greg Perry I Wanna Give You Tomorrow - Benny Troy Love Is A Serious Business - Alfie Davidson It's pass the sickbag for me... but loads of people love 'em. On the right night, after a few drinks, I'll still dance to Ruby Andrews though. On the other hand Carla Thomas 'I'll Never Stop Loving You' makes me sit straight down. You read my mind .. those three tracks set my gag reflex going. I don't go to many do's but still seem to hear them each time I do! Moses Smith is another one that through familiarity has brought contempt. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

vnicepce Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Isn't this rather a futile debate? The 'scene' is, what it is, because of the tracks mentioned in this thread; they are part of the great playlist of Northern Soul, and they are what attracted all of us to this genre. A far more interesting subject would be the abuse that some DJs had heaped on them for introducing any particular track, which did not fit in with what some of the 'faithful', thought, that Northern was.........

Guest Simon Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 3. Chris Clark - Somethings Wrong It must be a regional thing but i've never heard this played out at a venue before & yes i do go out fairly regularly. Last 4 weeks i've been to dos at London, Hastings, Bournemouth & Brighton as an example. Infact until i just found this on refosoul i'd never even heard it before!

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 does it have to be tunes you hear out everytime you go out cause i would say there are loads in Peterborough in fact dare to play an underplayed tune etc will get you no where tracks like Smokey Robinson and miracles - Whole Lotta Shakin Goin on Lou Rawls - See You When I Get There The MVP's - Turning My Heartbeat Up and i would say my fav Sam Cooke - Sugar Dumpling i ask for all the time but that's been played out less this year it used to be like i attended say 12 nights and had it played at all 12 but the last 6 months it's more like 2 or 3 out of 6. and what's worse requested for it by a DJ who has it but not played it Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think SOSO can vary from region to region. Some tracks are played repeatedly at some venues, but then this maybe seldom heard in other areas (as some of the posts on here show). The tracks that I interpret as the SOSO when reading lookbacks are stuff that I used to hear on Scooter Runs 20 yrs ago. For example tracks like the following: 1. Moses Smith - Girl Across The Street 2. Billy Butler - Right Track 3. Frank Wilson - Do I Love You 4. Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor However, when was the last time that you actually heard any of them played out? More recent SOSO amongst aothers I would say: 1. Dee Dee Sharpe - Deep Dark Secret 2. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain 3. Chris Clark - Somethings Wrong Last time I heard the top suggestions - last time I went KGH northern room. (Ginger's spot always sounds the same up there) I agree with all your suggestions.(except DDS) I agree with loads that have been suggested. I'm surprised no-one's mentioned dotty & millie or Isley Brother's my love is your love or tell me its just a rumour, which was good the first 1000 times I heard it. How can anyone ever tire of hearing Sam Fletcher?.. Jayne.x Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest mel brat Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Can't think of many tracks if any that have been played more than Ruby Andrews in the last 15 yrs... so it must come under the SOSO heading...

Guest mel brat Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) Have you been out since 1974 Mel? Not to the kind of places that would dare "overplay" Ruby Andrews Honestly, I completely missed the Ruby Andrews "revival" thankfully, as it's one of my favourites from way, way back.

Guest Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) The phrase "same old, same old" is used frequently to describe records that are played out time and time again. So what are the records that are considered to be the 'same old, same old' that people are tired of hearing when they attend a venue? Does the phrase include 'classics' such as these that have been continually played since the year dot? Epitome of Sound- You don't love me Dynells - Call on me Jack Montgomery- My Dear beloved Sam Fletcher - I'd think it over The Majestics-(I love her so much) It hurts me The Seven Souls- I Still love you please feel free to add the tracks that you are tired of hearing when you go out........... ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE ALL REALLY BORING SAME OLD SHIT 45S ! (THAT MOST OF US HAVE OWNED SINCE WE WERE 16) SEVEN SOULS EVEN MORE SO ! IMO ! A WELL OVERPLAYED AND OVERATED OLDIE ! CHICAGO AT ITS WORST AND BADDEST ! TOTAL POP CRAP TO MY EARS ? SOLD MY COPY TO MICK SMITH, AND DONT WANT ANOTHER........... EVER ! IMO ! NORTHERN SOUL BY NUMBERS !
