I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Dexys Midnight Runners with their covers of Seven Days Is Too Long and Breaking Down The Walls Of Heartache. I know they are a fairly soulful band in the first place....

Theres a lot of quality to be had at cheap prices! But, its if you want those killer classics sometimes you've got to spend a bit to get them. I enjoy finding the cheapies that people over look.

Thanks for the reply, I will pass on the info. Anything else?

Scrap that, ive just listened to the lyrics more closely :O

Magic Night - If You And I Had Never Met

My scooter club (which is a more of a loose organisation for young people with an interest in scooters) has recently got a member from the Big Apple, and she is wanting to know if there are any mod/soul nights going on in around NYC. i've found out about a scooter club in the city, but just wanting to know if there is anything more music orientated going on? She knows where a lot of the record stores are. Cheers, Jordan

Just a thought, instead of them picking a song from a list of soul source suggestions. Maybe get them to draw up a list of their favorite soul songs they feel suitable for the occasion? I personally wouldn't want to pick a song that I've never heard before or a song that didn't have a personal connection with. Unless of course, one of these suggestions blows them away! personally though, something like the Impressions - I'm The One Who Loves You or if they like 70's stuff, The Street People - I Wanna Spend My Whole Life With You

A good none soul song (well to me its more rock than soul) Mr Floods Party - Compared to What The terrible, A Touch of Velvet, A Sting of Bass

Cheers, for the offer. However, i never go to london as i'm from way oop north! I recognise your user name from my scooter fourm?

I assumed the main reason for the change is that they changed their style and the name change gave them a new lease of life? With them plodding along for 10 years or so with no smash hit, a name change would have helped there image I guess.

It had me thinking! IF you want to PM, I cany buy no more this month though... Just picked up another couple of wants

Thanks for the great info, always interesting. Such a shame he didnt get what he deserved for writing a great song. Love it.

Issues not stuff

I will eventually do it properly as the DJ copy nand heart trouble are long term wants. At the moment I'm just wanting to get the all their Revilot stuff. ;)

Learn more and more each day... Still a great song, any more info on the other Parliaments?

They may not be, I really dont know. I just assumed they were....they are on completely different labels to be fair.

Cheers guys, I will hunt them down in the coming months. And maybe eventually I will have every thing by the parliaments although Heat Trouble and Rainy Day especially, are well out of my price range...

Just wondering what they released on Revilot, as i think i'm not a million miles away from getting them all. I have, Dont Be Sore At Me/All Your Goodies Are Gone I Can Feel The Ice Melting/I Wanna Testify Time/Good Old Music Little Man/The Goose I know theres What Are You Growing/Look What I Almost Missed Anything else? Cheers

TBH I don't know what I'm rambling on about, but it doesn't do it for me. But, don't let me stop the folk who do enjoy it. .

Yeah, that sums it up for me. It doesnt hit the spot, but i've heard it so many times it irks me a bit. I prefer the more dramatic tunes, and i dont think this has that much drama TBH.

No, thts is a different sittuation. The Lou Ragland song just grates on me a bit, but i played it to death and it just annoys me now. I dont hate them, but i cant listen to them.

To be fair, I think its a really poor record. But, I'm not sure i hate it! ahah

Having thought about it. Fortune Teller grates on me, along with I Travel Alone. Time marches On, is just piss poor.

I am quite enjoying this tune at the moment, does any one have a copy going? i've seen a few about cheap on various site, but i thought i would try here first. Cheers

f*ck it, they might be seen as "cheesy" or "handbaggers" tunes. Or even showing a lack of imagination... But i want the "3 Before 8" playing at my funeral. I love all three tunes, and they were some of the first soul tracks i ever listen too and i think they would be fitting for the occassion. They blow me away nearly every time.
