Soul-slider

H.B.Barnum. Chuck Jackson Yarmouth Weekender, 1990 All the acts were great but these two stood out for me. Can't remember seeing J.J.Barnes, must have missed his performance....

Tough one! I actually managed to get hold of the 70's Studio One re-press with the brilliant 'Dinah' Joe Higgs & Soul Brothers on the flip, not easy to find either.

Frank Wilson.....

Ha, well at least you're spared all that 'dog barking', actually someone making the barking noises (Lee?) and bottles smashing!!

Ooh, nice blue-eyed garage/northern thing. Thought I was the only person who knew it! Flip is great too.

LOL...That's because I don't have it and was thinking of 'Sufferer' which is on Big Shot. I remember Tipper (sure you know him Pete? Simon) saying he had a spare copy of 'Hold Down' for me NC £30....he never did get round to selling it to me, it was just as they were shooting up in price! Reckon he had second thoughts 'Hold Down' is on the 'A Gift From pama' L.P (got mine at a car boot for £1 in the 90's) I have 'Sic Him Rover' on a JA blank too, bit crackly,

Brilliant L.P. In my collection. 'Hold Down' must be one of the best 'Boss' tunes out there! bloody expensive on a 45 though (Big Shot). 'Sufferer' is a long term fave, remember when I first heard it off the Tighten Up - volume 2 l.p back in 1979 as me and some mates were just getting into the Skinhead look, managed to find a copy on 45, lovely tune. Oh the memories....

Some bright spark will climb on top of it with skates on...

Don't know Seb, just going by what the write up that Dave posted says....

Bruce Springsteen performs 'Gino Is A Coward' at some of his concerts!!??? Weird.

No, different song, it should actually be titled 'My Baby Doesn't Change Like The Weather' and it is by The Mayfield Singers, it is a superb piece of Northern Soul. EDIT: Look it up it is on you tube.

Agree, fantastic record! So is the flip. EDIT: hang on, there's one with instr flip which I presume is the first release, then another issued by 'Outta Sight' with 'My Baby Changes Like The Weather' (not the Motown tune).

We are talking about the Detroit guy aren't we? Not the other GENO Washington.

Jeez Luiz!!!

Have Infinity and possibly Invincibles. I'll have a search and get back ok.

Oh the irony!

Thanks for that smudger, I'd say a decent little write up

Presume you are talking about 'Happy' (now sitting at No.2). It does have a certain William Bell feel about it for sure.

...bit like why I support Spurs

Some Northern Soul really does stand the test of time and would fit in a treat on some 20 year old's i-pod but there are some that can sound very dated indeed. There's nothing like a good raw soulful vocal and it is still used very much in today's music.

I notice the 'Mod' look seems a bit trendy these days with young people and that goes back to the early 1960's!!!. I guess everything is trendy in it's own way, even 'geeky chic' like me I notice in your avatar that you are fairly young? so you will be more of a target for 'old fashioned' criticism by your young mates. I do know that Soul will always be trendy be it old or contemporary.

Truth is, nowadays all the big traditional 60's Northern dancers are only really being discovered in the vaults on unreleased tapes then being released by the likes of Kent etc.

Also another Northern dancer 'Time After Time'

My missus got their album (sorry, CD) for Christmas off one of our daughters. I think they are a great band, the two tunes they played (performed on Jools' later show before) are great. The guitarist who's usually on the right pulls some right funny faces!
