I agree - this interpretation of an old classic by Al Kent shows his total understanding of quality black dance music both old & new - & to my way of thinking that is a talent worth having ( & rare !!).

This one even samples a classic Northern tune!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr8F1Uborls...PL&index=72

"Sky High" - Jigsaw

Here is my take on records like this & a few of the angles it can be looked at 1 - Northern Soul fans who listen & think how could they do this to a JJ Barnes classic ? - they have just ruined it by putting a "disco beat" behind it. 2 - Northern Soul fans who listen & think that is an refreshing interpretation of a JJ Barnes classic. 3 - Soulful House fans who know nothing about Northern Soul or JJ Barnes & listen to it with no bias at all.

Barnaby Bye - "Can't Live This Way" Eighth Avenue Band - "The Whole Thing" The Brothers - "Are You Ready For This" (Will always be a New York Disco tune - it is NOT Northern Soul) High Voltage - "Country Road"

Two copies that I know of on The Fylde Coast - mine & Pete Haigh's. What is the going rate for this tune now ? It will help me decide if it is a "Northern Classic" or "Disco Dross"

Yes that wonderful piano riff was used in many dance tunes thereafter - I love "Someday" absolute classic.

It's by Danny Kaye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZYzbkk5X4M

Honestly never liked any of them - reasons below What Kind Of Lady - Dee Dee Sharp (Ms Sharp,who I adore, becomes Ms Shouty on this) Let Her Go - Otis Smith (SingalongaMax chorus) Girl Across The Street - Moses Smith (Dreadful lyrics) Nothing Can Compare To You - Velvet Satins (Rock & Roll) 'Cause You're Mine - Vibrations. (Extremely noisy)

What Kind Of Lady - Dee Dee Sharp Let Her Go - Otis Smith Girl Across The Street - Moses Smith Nothing Can Compare To You - Velvet Satins 'Cause You're Mine - Vibrations. All stone classics to some ears - but not mine. However, I LOVE the Del Larks !!

https://www.junodownload.com/ppps/products/1407567-01.htm "At last it's finally happened....................." Spot the samples !!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Floorshaker" - Doni Burdick "Watcha Gonna Do" - Willie J & Co/Sam & Kitty "Running On Back To You" - Billy Harner

Only if the beer is watered down "Wilson's Bitter" - authentic Highland Room ale !!

To paraphrase Kevin Costner "If we (re) build it, they will come" - I have a piece of dance floor in my house................. well, it's a start !!

Seems that they may have run into one or two problems. https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/blackpoo...erge.5101779.jp

As you say a great LP all round - as regards the cover & name it all adds up to being a heavy funk group - of course when you listen to it their soulful harmonies take you to another level - if you only ever own one 70s album this the one you should have - it's blinding !!

I'm well mate - still loving the music & talking bollox - bit like you really !!

Thankyou - I now consider myself (as many others do!!) one of the nobs I was referring to.

Think I've got this thread all wrong - thought it said "Northern Souls Nobs!!!

Yea - a right w*nker - he talks "Cobblers" all the time. Ockers - where are you ? - those "bigger boys" are are being mean to me.
