Footsee - Wigans chosen Few ,.... When I heard this and then saw it being performed on 'Top of the Pops' I just looked down at my thread bare carpet and wondered 'WHY'.

I have to say people, I'm loving this. It's very interesting to see what you all love and don't, how they feel about tunes and in fact the scene. Jerry Naylor seems to have thrown up some great opinions. Personally I don't like 'City Lights' however I can see why others do and that's fine. 'Happy Feet mentioned 'Jerry Fuller - Double life', as a reactivation, on that, I can agree, it's a great tune. But let's not all get too serious about this stuff, it's just a bit of fun. Though, sorry 'Goldsoul' ... I still think 'Barnaby Bye' is the biggest pile of crap but I agree with you that 'Life - cat's eyes is right up there too.

What about 'Ain't no soul' by Ronnie Milsap,.. Who thought it would be a good idea to play this out? Flippin' can't stand hearing this record, needs to be put into the crematorium. Burn it!

That's a great tune and should defiantly be getting plays.

Personally not a fan of Flamma Sherman but probably wouldn't burn it, just yet anyway, but Jerry Naylor💩, what a pile of absolute crap that is. I also wonder why stuff like this is ever played.

Utter shite indeed!

Yes,.. what forgotten / neglected tune would you bring back into play onto the scene again?

Yes, very dark places, sometimes it just makes me sweat just thinking of what's in there. Ah yes, perfect on both accounts.

Wombat,.. Oh yeah, you're not wrong! 🤢.......................... What about your re-activator, got one?

I was wondering what forgotten tune people would re-activate and what forgettable tune they would burn. So for me I would re-activate 'Devil made me do it' by 'The Natural four,.. Ok, hold on a minute. I know that this tune is a bit left field but then I could name many others that are. I remember when this was getting plays at the Casino it would pack the floor,. yes, it really did, in fact it packed the floor everywhere for a while and it provoked some great dancing too. I love this tune, it's a real banger, in my eyes everything that 'Northern Soul' is and I think it should definitely be getting plays again. Go on give it a listen again, you'll see what I mean. Now my forgettable tune that I think should be burned is 'Can't live this way' by Barnaby Bye'. OH MY WORD! What an absolute load of CRAP this is! I recently read and I quote,' This record is a monster tune',... Monstrous, I think they meant to say. Out of 'Mecca' this has to be one of the all time crappest tunes I've ever heard, it was crap then and it's crap now, what the DJ who first played this out was thinking is anyone's guess. There ain't no soul in these old grooves. This record should definitely by BURNED! You may not agree with what I write but that's OK you don't have to. What I would like to know is what forgotten tune you would re-activate and what forgettable tune you would gladly burn? I think there's a lot to choose from especially the 'burners' as many of us who were there back in the day when all sorts of rubbish was getting played can testify to. Let me know, love to see what you all come up with.

Share it with you, every other weekend 'till it's 18 and leaves home.😆

Another thing,.. just because a record sold for pennies, in this case £20, doesn't mean that's all it's worth, sometimes sellers don't know what they've got.

Personally I don't think it's absurd to say something is excruciatingly rare. It's just a bit of poetic licence I think, a way of trying to relay the rarity of something on the written page. Sometimes I think people are a bit quick to judge what others say, how they say it. Anyway,.. The record in question is actually quite rare, it is true I believe that there are only a few known copies around. I remember coming across this record some years ago and speaking to a dealer about it (can't remember who now) and was told that it was probably worth a few hundred at that time. Whether this is right or not now I don't know. Maybe someone should ask JM, I would think if anyone, that he would probably know the answer to that question. I know he listed it at £50 in the 7th edition but that was 2016 and we all know how things move on. It is a really great tune though.
