You're wrong. It's a play on the Virgin Wolves, the Wolverhampton players that never scored (a goal)

dito.

Ok. When I googled for it I found this bit here: "3) Northern Soul On Dvd Volume 2 .... Channel 4 1996. Features The Cleethorpes Weekender And Doris Troy's Appearance There". Thought appearance meant the live gig there. Was I wrong?

There's a homemade DVD called "Northern Soul on DVD vol. 2" which allegedly features Doris' gig at Cleethorpes in 1996. I think I'll have the DVD at home. Can check tonight if needed?

Doris did just PA in 1995.

you may reconsider the prices of your "wounded" 45s.....

Here's the track list: Side A: "Silhouettes - 1958" (credited original 1958 on the label) Get a job I am lonely Rent man Your love (is all I need) Bing bong lover Side B: "Silhouettes - 1968" (credited new - 1968 on the label) Get a job Not me baby Gaucho serenade Climb ev'ry mountain We belong together Haven't played side A never been into that 50s sound. Side B is pretty disappointing. New version of Get a job sounds like "can i get a witness" with different lyrics. Gaucho serenade is pretty cheesy and the lyrics are shite. climb every whatever is dull. We belong together is ok, good arrangement. Not me baby is a gem, period. Gives me goosebumps from just playing it

mighty lover by a mile. I prefer proper lyrics and the whole arrangement is pretty tight. cool off being better? I ain't waving my hands like a fan but like saying goodbye to "cool off"

Unless you're specifically after an US or german press, it came out at least in France and Netherlands (dutch production) as well. As I type there's a french copy on Ebay Buy-it-now for 9 euros. Pure value for money I think.

Can't play the YT clip due to slow internet connection. But aren't this one and the Voltaires "my my baby" the same song just with completely different arrangements?

Would have to dig it out but from what I recall, one side features some of their 50s songs whereas the other side features new 60s recordings with one or two 'updated' versions of their own material (e.g. "get a job"). From a Northern Soul view "not me baby" is the only worthwhile track.

Little bump, auctions ending tomorrow night. All still at bargain prices....

There are plenty of quality ballads/sweet soul tracks on the flip of 70s/Modern classics. Is it ok to post them here or are we sticking to 60s only?

I remember when I bought that one I was pretty disappointed about the "northern" side but the flip definitely made up for that.

Nice mixed bag of R&B, Popcorn, Mod, Northern, Modern, whatever 45s for sale. All auctions with audio clips, pics and low starting bids.

Yep, different takes. You can already here it when they start singing the first "yeah" after "good news in the morning". On the 6Ts anniversary 45 one singer sort of fades into "yeah". On the acetate it's a seperate word if you know what I mean.

Just played the sweet side on YT. You're right it's a killer, soooo good.. Almost like they recorded that side first and ran out of talent when they recorded the uptempo flip.

Pete, track listings look very tasty. Any way to download these podcasts?

Never really liked "good news" that much, but the ballad flip is great! Did this ever came out?

check out the bidder's list. pretty dodgy IMO.

Flanny's recent sales thread of Curtis Anderson - The hardest part made me digging out my copy of the Donald Albert 12" which I hadn't played for years. Always thought of Donald being a good version but Curtis being better. But now I think Donald Albert is actually the better version! What do you guys think?

The only true bargain I had in recent years was the italian issue of Seven Souls - I still love you with picture sleeve. $4.00 Buy-it-now and I spotted it only two minutes after it went online. Turned out seller lived nearby so even saved on postage.

Agree with both of you, quality record. And still available!

speeded up, strings added .. yes that sounds like the instrumental to "ain't got no love" Edit: wrong video.
