Hi, sure I've got a spare in a sales box, will have a look later at condition, etc, Best, J

An obvious cover version that I can't see mentioned is TIMI YURO'S brilliant niter atmospheric version of Baby Washington ' It'll never be over for me ', I like most of B. Washington's stuff, but this is a fairly rare case of a blue-eyed (brown-eyed ?) singer out-souling and easily out-northering a black singer. (As in the case of Paul Anka v Jimmy Breedlove, perhaps another topic on this subject awaiting comment.)

Good version (of many) of Little Anthony and Imperials, but they all pale into insignificance IMHO compared to the monumental take by THE DELFONICS !

Don't really understand some peoples view on what qualifies as a NS sound, whether you like and rate the record or not, even it is seen as commercial or a small chart hit, Move On Up was played at the Casino, so surely that only defines it as a northern sound ?!? Too many on here commenting on things that they haven't got the experience or time spent on the scene to really form a true and valid opinion.

I'm getting very bored with this pathetic overblown little topic ... let's try and get back to more SOULFUL sounds, thoughts, and hopefully more interesting posts, let's kick Billy Ocean into fu..ing touch for now (hopefully for at least 50 years) ...Here's what I've been spinning at home tonight folks ............ Robby Fortson - Are you for real (PZAZZ) The Sound 70's - I'll be waiting (CAPITOL) Mandrill - Never die (Polydor) G.

Melvin & Blue Notes - Today's your lucky day (UK LONDON Renaldo Domino - Not too cool to cry (TWINIGHT) Drinking tonight - Torres 5yr old Spanish Brandy / William Bros Otis Blood Orange IPA / William Bros Paolo Peach ale / Badger milk maid Indulgent milk stout. Let's all hear it for collecting, spinning, and dancing to proper SOUL MUSIC, and not wasting time on irrelevant useless crap !!!!!!

Surely if the dj has any kind of discerning soul awareness and credibility, he/she wouldn't actually own any of those records, let alone have them in the box to play ?!?

How f...ing sad... about sums up large portions of the (alleged) soul scene.
