You want examples of which funky stuff is sh*te? Pretty easy, take 90% of what's been played over the last few years. Remaining 10% are just crap.

Pure Sh*te. It's not 'funky soul' it's just funk. And I hate funk.

Must be dutch. Didn't come out in Germany as far as I know. Or are you mixing it with "Come back girl"?

There's nothing in it that lets me assume he's joking. Quite the opposite, it makes him look like a chancer. Or maybe it's my lack of sense of humour as a german?

Mick Smith is the seller. Thought he had more integrity

Records That 'book' High But Are In Reality.....poor
Actually, I think this is a good question. Why are there records pretty expensive even though they're mediocre and never played anywhere? Supply and demand determine price of a record. But what if there's no demand? The Curtis Davis record is a good example. As good as it is (I like it) it's not a record with a huge demand for it, is it?

It's an auction for 19 records not just for one.

No, you're right. 1.000's of people see Manship's auctions. Many tend to take whatever he says for facts when infact sometimes they're just assumptions.

Another big surprise this one. This usually sells for less than 50 (?) I think I wanted only 30 quid for the definitely rarer german MCA release. Or did demand increase?- Mr Manships Auction Results 4-7-2012
He said Diva Detroit. I take he tried to describe some sort of 'sophisticated Detroit girl group' sound and didn't imply that the group was from Detroit. Does that make sense?- Sale: Bobby Treetop ... Wait Till ... Tuff (Original)

Another goodie. Boderlines beat ballad to midtempo. But what a record. Wish I'd own a copy. Kell Osbourne - Quicksand:- Big Beat Ballads
Best version IMO:- Comedy Sale Of The Day

Nice one Chris! This one pops up quite often here in Germany. I almost had a heart attack the first time I saw it! Nowadays whenever I see it it just raises my pulse for a second- Mr Lucky
Which Mr. Lucky? "I was born to love you" on Star-whatever? Thought it was west coast, George Kerr was east coast.- Big Beat Ballads
Anyone remember what Derek Pearson wrote about it in Shades? Something like this song makes grown up man to stand up, sing a long loud and proud and not feeling ashamed about that. I agree.- Big Beat Ballads
You clearly didn't get the meaning of my post. So be it. Feel free to dissect each and every song posted in this thread. I won't. Not needed. I want folks to post their favourite beat ballads. If they don't fit in my criteria of a beat ballad, so what. If you want to discuss what a beat ballad is and if say odds and ends is one or not, open up a new thread. thank you.- Big Beat Ballads
Some tunes mentioned so far I wouldn't class as beat ballads. But I won't say which ones as I don't want to see this thread to go downhill in a "what defines a beat ballad" discussion. I really love beat ballads (or rock-a-ballads as some record reviewers called them in the 60s) and enjoyed this thread immensely so far. Quite a few tunes/recommendations I didn't know. Played youtube vids of a few and they all went straight on my wants list.- Big Beat Ballads
Just played a few records and YT vids and read all previous posts. My nominee for the best ever dramatic beat ballads is: anyone disagree? - Mr Manships Auction Results 4-7-2012
