Unbelievable record, I voted for it last time, got booed off :angry:

No, never bored of Open The Door To Your Heart. Constellations is very average though

When I used to work in an office there were about 10 of us in there and we all liked different sorts of music, like me with soul and reggae, someone was into heavy metal, couple of old dears into middle of the road music and so on, anyway we always used to take it in turns playing compilation tapes and we only ever agreed on one single record that all of us liked...... cruel to be kind by Nick Lowe

Fantastic record

I like that. Bored of it by 1975 though.

Deservedly so!

No good mentioning Frank Wilson because someone trying to be clever will say it's rubbish. What about George Blackwell - Can't lose my head Robert Parker - Caught you in a lie Inspirations - No one else can take your place Bobby Hutton - Come see what's left of me Dynamics - I need your love Tim Tam - Wait a minute

It is for the likes of you and I who actually have it, it's the other poor misguided folk like Pikey's Dog I feel sorry for

I hate that

They aren't on the internet

Tell that to the Funk Brothers

We already did this about 2 months ago, the thread went on over about 4 pages, started by Dayo I think. As ever, there was always someone who didn't like a particular record. Like, I don't like The Hytones so that's that one out of the game So I'll go for an instrumental BARI TRACK

This isn't Planet Records book club but you may well be interested in this little beauty! Now the title doesn't sound up to much - "The Old Barrio Guide To Low Rider Music 1950-1975" - but wait until you see what's in it. Basically Low Rider music was the soundtrack for young Mexican/Latino teenagers to cruise around in their cars to. The music is mainly ballads and soul classics such as "Hello Stranger", that kind of thing, in other words - the B sides of the records we are interested in, and therefore many, many Northern Soul tracks and artists are mentioned. There's also a stack of fascinating information about label owners, studios and record producers. Anyway, this book contains an A to Z of the artists and records favoured by this Low Rider scene and it's an absolute treasure trove for anyone interested in obscure Northern Soul artists. For instance - there's features on: Admirations Carltons Citations Linda Carr Johnny Bartel Commands Jimmy Conwell Tony Clarke Chuck Corby Cynthia & The Imaginations Autographs Attractions Ruby Andrews Bleu Lights... That's just from opening random pages in the A, B and C sections. Hundreds of photographs of the artists including Brothers Of Soul Royal Jesters Gene Chandler Elgins (male group) Informers Frankie Karl Royal Chessmen Little Ray Vanguards Ronnie Walker Younghearts Etc And to top it off, there are 8 full colour pages of record scans. All in all, a cracking read and very reasonably priced too. I bought this book just as a hunch it might have some useful information on those obscure artists and was blown away by it and thought it might pay me to see if I can sell a few copies, so here we are. THE BOOK COSTS £15 THE POSTAGE (SENT VIA AIRMAIL FROM THE USA) IS £5 SO THE TOTAL IS £20 I'M MAKING £1.50 PER COPY BEFORE ANYONE ASKS! Anyone wanting a copy of the book, please pay directly into my paypal account (pete.smith@freeuk.com) or ring or email me me to pay via credit card (01902 893569) Please allow 14 days for delivery PETE SMITH PLANET RECORDS 28 JENKS ROAD WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0BL 01902 893569 pete.smith@freeuk.com

Well said Dan

I would disagree with this point as well.

I Am Nothing is a fantastic record but if you listen to it 'critically' you'll hear that the guy is about on a par with Danny Somebody New Moore when it comes to vocals

Sounds like a throwaway B side and he's a bad vocalist. Must just be me then eh?

That is a truly terrible song, and the singer must have been dragged in off the street. And people had the nerve to say my "Stop the clock" was rubbish. Pure gold mates, pure gold.

Great record that, Are You Pushed .. was a cheapie, bought one off Glen Bellamy last year for £15, sold it for £50

Seminoles is rare on that label but hard to sell, I think I took about £70 for one in the end, probably books at £125

No, he quoted the version I did with all the naff tracks cut out

Are you Adam Adamant ??

I don't know where that rumor came from, Emerald was a decca label so why would an RCA recording come out on there anyway? Anyone remember the Irish only version of "Waterfall" by Dickie Rock on UA? Rubbish wasn't it?

Yeah round here it's "her eyes were like those of a chav in the dark"
