Guest Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I think Gwenn Douglas is shit. A really poor record with nothing good about it IMO.

(don't say 'on the fucking thing' because that would be lame and predictable) link I like it - sold my copy a year or so ago for £350. No one's saying it's the greatest northern track of all time but there's nothing wrong with it. Incredible how such a record can inspire insanely negative opinions...

Guest Dan Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 i think there might be something else behind at least one of the opinions posted, hammy... like you say, not the greatest record ever, and she isn't aretha franklin, but certainly not as bad as some suggest and as i say it is one of those records which climbs a notch or two in quality when played loud Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Nothing else behind my post, I just feel this record is so criminally bad I could not keep my feelings to myself. Why play or listen to anything but great music? Or at least half decent music? There is plenty to choose from. The thing that brought me in to northern in the first place was that the music was great, better than anything I had heard, and it still is, but when you hear records like this you just become depressed. What is it that people like about it? The comically poor vocals? The dated and quirky beat and production? The overall corny lyrics and approach? I really wonder.

Pete S Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 That is a truly terrible song, and the singer must have been dragged in off the street. And people had the nerve to say my "Stop the clock" was rubbish. Pure gold mates, pure gold. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest hammy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 It's getting to the point on here that you can predict who will lampoon a particular record down to the exact language they're gonna use!!!!! I just played the mp3 again - and I'll say it again: it's not exceptional, but it's nothing like as crap as certain people are making out. If I thought it was great, I wouldn't have sold it and if I thought it was crapola I would never have taken it in a trade. Hammy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Marc Forrest Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I liked it very much when Gary Spencer was still playing this covered up about 12 years ago now and always thought it was by Otheia Barnes on Mickays...which of course poofed wrong the day I had that Mickays 45. I still wouldn`t rush to the toilet if the michelle 45 would be played but wouldn`t like to have it myself these days. What I do not understand is why people are still paying so much for it as it sure is not "hot" and also is around in quantity lately...

Maybe that is also what makes it not so easy to sell ? Marc Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I really wonder. link who said i was talking about you? but since you mention it: vocals...we'll agree to disagree but i think they're not bad at all and at the end of the day it's in the ear of the beholder the dated beat and production...well i kinda like that sort of thing, being mainly into 60s and 70s soul and the lyrics...not really any less corny than a thousand other 'northern soul' songs. It's a girl in love with a bloke trying to express it...though i agree the line about spending ages on his nose is quite amusing) overall, it's a soul record from the 60s by a struggling artist on a budget label...it's not 'shit' even if you don't like it anyway, i couldn't give a toss, i didn't write or record it, you're entitled to your opinion dude Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 What is bollocks? Are you suggesting soul is white american music? Or maybe white german music? Soul is black american music, period. Various white and other artists have recorded in the black american musical style of soul with varying degrees of success and authenticity, but that doesn't change the fact that soul is black american music. You know what I think on the subject, I think most people on the planet should know by now. I don't see the point in having yet another 'debate' where countless of 'soul fans' will rise to defend the white cause with a passion you simply never see in any other soul related context. Soo boring by now. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
