personally speaking, I'd ban the use of nouns & their derived adjectives... stormer stomper floater belter monster scorcher classic pounder floorpacker shuffler ender (this freudian in concept) oldie newie beat ballad crossover modern northern soul rare as hens' teeth R&B mover 100 mph choon/tune the expression 'out of new york, detroit, chicago etc' (we are NOT americans) john e vincent used to 'love us & leave us', but anything JEV said was alright by me... soul sam 'could never miss the beginning', so we were often entreated to a double dose of the church bells at the intro (don't like that word either) to margaret mandolph... back to lurking... macca I'd also ban the word lurker, it's a relative of loiterer...

right. that narrows it down a bit. a mate here in spain is crazy about the record & not bothered if it's not an original. it seems he's more interested in the instrumental as well, so I guess he's gonna have buy the british black magic job. not my cup of tea at all, but then it's horses for courses I suppose... cheers macca

so, can we confirm that both sides are newer versions then, which wouldn't be that surprising given the track record of black magic? macca p.s. was this a soussan operation?

cheers guys!

I too remember this record from around 77, probably at the hands of john vincent or ginger - loved it then, still love it now. popcorn wylie was responsible for some of the scene's most mythical records, love 'em or hate 'em. I've always associated stanley mitchell with popcorn wylie, for me one the greatest records EVER. didn't he have a hand in larry clinton's she's wanted too? & what about sam ward??? maybe I'm way off the mark here, but for some reason, richard 'popcorn' wylie's name comes rearing up... oh', & who could forget 'cool off' - a MASSIVE record in it's day. macca

memory failing. this was on soul hawk, right? there was also a release on black magic in the uk, right? was it a horrendous re-recording a-la bob relf, or did they use the original track? best, macca

I've been asked to source an Ex+ to M copy of the above for a mate. there's been a few on ebay, but in poor condition unfortunately. can anyone help please? best, Macca
