Tibute Or Insult
did i ever tell you my Jackie Wilson story?... No?... Well,one day when i was a young teenager,me mam sez "Kev gerroff down t'shops and fetch a Pork pie t'biggest int shop". My mother was common as muck,never used comma's and spoke in a most vulgar fashion. "Of course Mother dearest,although i shall need money to complete the transaction.I will be using the omnibus,No61." "'Ere, that shud be enuff and keepbloody change tha alluss duz." Before purchasing said Pork Pie,i quickly calculated,using mathematics,that i would have enough to buy a vinyl recording from Norman Daynes which was just down the High Street. There at the record emporium i purchased Jackie Wison's "I get that sweetest feeling",then to the Butcher's to choose the family lunch. Pork pies at that time were served from the oven,the smell filling my nostrils, my mouth yearning to sample the offal pie wrapped in fatty pastry. I waited then at the omnibus stop,with the intention of travelling home before said Pie had cooled. I placed the hot Pie on top of Jackie,so as not to burn my fingers........... When i arrived at my abode,the anticipation was killing me...A PORK PIE FOR LUNCH!!,BUT FIRST TO THE GRAMAPHONE,A FIRST PLAY OF JACKIE!!!!. Jackie Wilson was warped,sorry the record was warped and never played. "Bollocks",said i.

agree there seems to be copies always around,but was that the case when it first broke? Sometimes when i have a bit of a daydream,i always find a UK demo of this !!!. What's the story on St.Lawrence stuff not getting onto UK labels?.Bearing in mind "I.A.N." had US exposure?- Putting A Cd Together

Hi,sorry if this powerhouse of soul has been covered before.. First heard this 30 odd years ago,been a love of mine since.If i had to play Northern example to someone this may well be near the top of the list. What i'd like to ask my learned friends is....who and where was it first played?. Has the "b" side ever gained recognition? ,as imo its just right, and another perfect example of mid-tempo soul.

and i've just put it on cd, Off The Pace(free) only last week,,Kev .- Emotions On Manships Auction
Hi,the Emotions is probably(imho), the best "Vietnam" record, followed by The Intentions - "Don't forget that i love you".Vietnam thread anyone? Not everyones cup of tea, but wanted enough for the "b" side "Love of a girl" to warrant auction. After the spoken intro,"DTFM" moves in to a niter sound, but "LOAG" is the clincher. I suspect the Lovers version is The Emotions speeded up, to give it a more commercial feel.Who can tell lately what records are going to command?. Whether it sells for £1 or £100 doesn't take away the quality of the record,and this is quality especially "LOAG". all of course imho ,,Kev.- Ref-O-Ree - Peggy Gaines - Just To Satisfy My Baby
