I think he is still with us. I though young Pottsy was in touch with him on the west coast.

Just checked and Don still has a current affiliation with BMI, and is down as songwriter/composer for this track. So I guess they would have to give him royalties? - else he can come after them

Just seen it , great record , crap advert !

just heard chairman of the boards,give me just a little time,on an itv footy ad,

Excellent

it's a wanky remix with loads of additional drums...

it amazes me who does the research for the backing songs for these ads?someone who must be a little clued up on northern soul surely.

more and more on a regular basis appearing on tv adds etc as you say someone clued up

BBC programme on caravanning the other nite opened with "Sliced tomato's" followed with "California montage" and a couple of others I can't remember now......

I saw that too but was too embarrassed to own up to watching a programme about caravans until someone else did.

The ad in question followed by how it was made & just for Joe the Ian Parton remix.

I KNOW. It spooked me I don't mind telling you, as I was just flicking TV channels to have a rest from typing out the damned Mecca playlist!

How weird is that though?

I suspect the current prevalence of "Northern Soul" related ad. and programme soundtracks is more down to the number of Northern compilation CDs and the success of the 'Felix' and KFC ads than any sympathy for the music on the part of programme makers - plus the "Retro-is-hip" obsessions of the 20-somethings who make 'em!

has constantly been one of my top tens, completley ruined the track with a crap ad, if they wanted a soul tune they could have used moneys too tight to mention / valentine bros....would have been more appropiate.

I remember the "Felix" and "KFC" adds but unfortunately can't remember the tunes. Does this mean the ads did their job in that I remeber the product long after the ad campaign finished?

The shame!!!

even the Impressions get a clip on National Lottery ad ...(were rollin' on)

I posted up on here a while back about Tracy by Barry White being played over Christmas period advertising Channel 4 films in HD on satellite.

One of your top ten sounds is completely ruined because it appears in an ad? Bit extreme

I still love it, i don't give a toss if it's used in an ad. In fact i'll probably play it out at the next Move On.

They wouldn't get many customers for a credit card with 'money's too tight to mention'

As an advert its cracking, a lot better than a cat running around to Rubin.

Not going to lose any sleep over Don Thomas being positioned against a cool advert & Bill Shannon's dancing is great.

Don Thomas (even with that breakbeat over the top) sounded good - personally I think the remix will sell and hopefully make a wedge for Don.

Here's more of Bill Shannon's moves:

Does anybody watch Cbeebies, obviously if only you have kids, anyhow they use a re working of Burts apple crumble - The quick, every day on the bedtime hour, see if you can pick that one up.

Dont know if anybody on here works for Trinity Mirror? well if you do check out the IT hold music, this morning was Tony Clark's Landslide, and last Friday when I called it was the Spellbinders!!!

I never knew working for a national Newspaper would give me Northern Soul on Hold !!

Gordon Ramsey kitchen programme usually has a bit of rare soul on it here and there.

Can't say I care for it myself, using good NS tracks to flog tacky crap on the tele. Sort of cheapens the music imo.

R Dean Taylor - Ghost etc. played in the background on Eastenders last night

I wasn't watching, honest, it was on one of the screens in the gym

Johnny Moore - Walk like a man, was the backing to a footie montage after a premiership game on Sky Sports recently!

I think we can live with it though...........especially if it has the same effect as when Levis jeans used Marvin Gaye! Hopefully the artist (or his estate) will get some of the royaties the probably didn't get first time around............

but does this mean that another brilliant track has been culled from future playlists as it will be another 'from that advert' record?

i do hope not, its a great track, and fun to cue up the next one without being caught out

I saw that too but was too embarrassed to own up to watching a programme about caravans until someone else did.

Wife Swap on Ch 4 used to be full of Northern.

JUST ANOTHER CLASSIC THROWN TO THE COMMERCIAL LIONS.

Edited March 4, 200916 yr by swoz

stewart cosgrove is the head of channel 4 i believe.He is a big Northern soul devotee ,so he might be behind or influencing the sounds being released

He also does a football phone in with Tam cowan "off the ball" funny funny

Wife Swap on Ch 4 used to be full of Northern.

No Angels, the programme about the nurses in Leeds was too

Come On Train Remix?

Done one myself - its in the mix . . . . along with other remixed soul tracks . . . .

Non stop start to finish.

Download & Enjoy.

Is nothing sacred ?

Am I right in believing that 'Don' Thomas was in reality Charlie Thomas from an early 70's 'The Drifters' line-up?

Just as a tasty morsel for the masses, I must add that Welsh-Ravers (??) K Klass did a cut up in about '94 of 'COT' which wasn't half bad.

As Henry Lumpkin sang, Soul is taking over.

Walking through Marks and Sparks the other day and heard Mamie Galore - It aint necessay.

RUFC will play Franks DILYIID just before the players run out

In an electrical shop in Rife last week and they were playing Lee Ritneurs Fly by night.

Lets be fair, If I was in charge anywhere of putting music out, Id do the same.

Ed

Is nothing sacred ?

Nope

yeah seen it, nearly fell off me chair

yeah seen it, nearly fell off me chair

Ditto.

A track i'd never thought i'd hear on a telly ad.

Andrex are using "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" by Marvin & Tammi.

You would have thought that they would have chosen a shit track for their product....

"Train to Skaville" by the Ethiopians is on the DFS ad.

i don't care weather an advert, shop or whatever want to add Northern soul music cause for me i just enjoy it more. sing along to the song and usally some people might watch or be in a shop and go what is this and i am like classic Northern soul you should check it out

just look a fool when you want to start dancing in a shop to some Moses Smith that has been played out still i wonder if you can get a hat out and dance and ask for some money lol

Lots of stuff in last weeks Red Riding-

Kev

I think it's a great ad and the track is fabulous.

It's one of those records that I can never tire of-even though I probably heard it first almost 25 years ago.

I love the Bellamy bros one with the big slide too

Have you noticed that they have put a bouncier drum pattern behind it?

Good edit though.

Was on Johnathon Ross show this morning Radio2, they also played Jackie Wilson.
