Just listened to the village people track, seriously? Almost identical backing track? Gibson brothers, I'm pretty familiar when their stuff, ' oh what a life, probably the closest, but still way, way off the house brothers imho

Good call Chris, I said I wasn't typical of the time, but neither are the examples you cite.

Not a fan of the beautiful game tbh, but I give it a go as I'm recovering from an accident. I loved the snooker last week and go well into. So far I've seen a a few games, very few goals, and a load of grown men rubbing there ankles and faking injury, torturous tbh.

Brilliant, got one a can't wait to hear this out, better than the house brothers for my money

To be clear I agree it's nowt like a Levine job. I like it regardless of its origins.

Puts me in mind of 'eye of the tiger' with that chugging baseline. Have to say I agree it sounds like nothing typical I've heard from the era,79? I have my doubts tbh

Sad loss, never really had the credit he deserves. Was really into many of his releases in the 90's especially this https://youtu.be/9IwbrhRcS6Q

Anyone discovered who she is?

£5 from king bee a few weeks back!

The scene has become obsessed with rarity to the extent where its stifling anything fresh or progressive IMHO. If you look at the foundations of the soul scene in this country how many of those records played were financially unavailable? Certainly good DJs had their exclusives but what proportion of the records from the torch and wheel were out of the reach of the average punter if they really wanted them? 10%, maybe less. Compare that to say Ted's set last weekend or any DJ working nationally. Martin Ellis would never get gigs now, or Evo for that matter, if he was starting out, and yes I know Dave's got an amazing collection, but he's always championed cheapies, Spyder turner for example. Bring out the ten quid tunes and let's get back to exciting DJ sets.

Perhaps you'd like to expand on this history, I'm curious. As to what your saying, what percentage of these unrealised tracks from the halcyon days of the scene were first played off Emidiscs? I never realised how influential they were, I've obviously been sold a lie by my soul brothers; on the value of collecting originals and how exploring record collecting through listening to records on obscure labels trying to find something fresh is intrinsic to the scene. I could have saved a fortune and just bought a pile of emi's or carver's! 🫣🤔

He's from new Jersey isn't he, that's saying a scouser's a yokel🤔😂

Well.he couldn't do a worse vocal than Frank, could he. Bruce is getting on but at least sings within his limitations and is in key, unlike Mr Wilson.

Played this out after times in the last ten years, always goes down well, the origin of 'that' sample, so it's instantly recognisable.

Listened yesterday, what a story.

I'll raise you a; 😂

It's like asking if I prefer salt or pepper, both are essential to enhance the food of life.

Wow, been playing elements of love, at FTMNTC, paid a just over £100 last year on discogs.

I like it, and in the right room, sound system ect can see it working for dancers.

Thanks to all involved, it's brought intrigue, laughter and frustration at times, long may it reign.
