Exactly I think liking soul and dancing to it is trendy, well I would much rather be doing that then listening to that crap ive got to listen to on the radio all day!

What is trendy?listening to chart music?

So I have been arguing with the guys at work about what pop music is, they listen to radio one and like most of the current music in the charts I think most of the stuff radio one play is pop music, it is popular commercial music, I hate how they say music in the charts is a certain genre like alot of stuff they like they say is rnb which it is clearly not, yes I accept music has changed and evolved but the music they class as certain genres is Cleary wrong for example Chase and status they class them as drum n bass, yes they do different genres such as drum n bass, house etc in their music but it is all commercial drum n bass etc I wouldn't class it as drum n bass it is more pop surely? Drum n bass is more a underground and I respect that, Another example is eminem yes he is rap but he is commercial rap and more pop IMO Also alot of the songs in the charts today are trying to have that kind of 70s feel and bit soulful but that doesn't make them soul does it? It is pop It is the same with soul and Motown yes you could class as pop, Diana Ross, temptations, four tops etc they all had pop songs in the charts but that's why we love northern soul because it was artists trying to be like them but just not classed as good enough and not the right sound which wouldn't get played on the radio as such In America at that time? Am I correct? So what is pop? Are they correct to say Im not with it and living in the past?

I Saw him yesterday at SGP. Just Amazing. His voice is really soulful and his lyrics are so good you can feel the pain in his voice Best act I saw shame it went so fast.

I take it this is his band called the expressions I am going to a festival near when i live this year called Secret garden party. It is not really my thing musically (they normally do have a couple of good acts though, alton eliis played there few years ago before he died, sposidly desmond dekker did before he died, martha and the vandellas did last year) but I am going as my girlfriend loves it. I have just seen on the line up Lee fields & the expressions are playing, get in there!! He looks very good.

ahhhh I hate this song so much

Hi if anyone has got this to sell on the US volt copy. Please PM with a good price. Thanks Liam

Hyde park

I just had a long chat with John Smith the drummer from the band, he was amazed I had the record and he feels it is a test pressing I have because he had about 500 pressed from it with a printed label both sides he is going to send me a scan of the pressed copies later. So this was a good find also he said he co wrote it and would been about 1966 and the band use to play on all the USA airbases

ok cheers, have sent over my email in a PM

Just a quick update. I still have not got hold of the drummer. I have called the number a few times but he has been out every time. I have left my number but he still has not called back. I am going to try again tomorrow.

Ok Pete thanks will phone the drummer tomorrow and let you know what he says

I did actually find this website earlier also. I have family that worked in an old pressing plant called SRT and they said from an acetate or lacquer which they used to get cut at Abbey Road you made a mother & father or male & female which were the plates as such and then the stampers were made from them that fitted in the presses. They made Test Pressings which was sent to clients for them to approve and then a larger run was pressed but they also said sometimes the band or artiste did not approve it and wanted it cut again at the studio and in that case the vinyl test pressing was a one off. This record must have some connection to SRT as it came from them. Perhaps it was sent to them for some reason? It will be interesting to find out from the band itself.

I still think it is a Test Pressing for the studio as it has their label on it but only has a hand written title on it saying "written & performed by The Umpteenth Time" it would have been made on stampers made from the acetate but it did not have proper printed labels on it which it would have done on final pressed copies. I don't know if this was approved by the band and it then went on for pressed copies or if this is a one off and it never went any further. I don't think it was pressed up cos I cannot find any details on the web. I shall try calling the drummer.

I think it would of been a test pressing
