Northern Soul Question 1 - Love Love Love by Bobby Hebb
Hi Dan, I'm not familiar with the fade-in version so presume it's just done to enable a bit more space on a crammed compilation CD. The original vinyl has the piano intro and I doubt any serious DJ would have played any other version. - Kev

When Does A Record Become An Oldie??
I take the tunes played and made popular before the mid 70's as the oldies, rather than the recording or release date. Like you say, it's all subjective. - Kev

Can someone help me identify a song?
I wouldn't bother guys. David Smothers obviously can't be arsed to yay or nay any of the suggestions to date, and hasn't been on here since the 7th Sept - the day after he joined. - Kev

Your views please
A pity that this fine example of messing about with an original work relates to 'The Snake' - a tune which, in it's original state, seems to arouse such venom (no pun intended). That aside, as a dancer, what would I think if I heard it played in the main room of a venue? 1 Why is The Snake being played. 2 Why has it been messed about with. 3. Why is it so long (over 5 min) 4. Why is it called the 'Senior Citizens Mix'........six of them have just had heart attacks trying to dance til the end of what they thought was a 2 and 1/2 minute tune. 5. Why did I come here 6 Why am I still here You can abbreviate all of the above to the one word...WHY. As a collector, what would I think if I heard it played in the main room of a venue? You nearly got me there....I almost thought it was a serious question! - Kev

Robbed record box
Really hope you get your vinyl back. Not being funny, but as these were 'robbed' ...'possibly from Stretford or Chorlton'...is there a possibility that they have just been misplaced and lost? If my playbox was missing I would definately know where I last had it. I take it any possible venues or trains/buses/cabs have been checked out? Good Luck - Kev

Presentations - call on me NOW SORTED,THANKS
Just as an aside, after posting this on here as part of a 2009 playlist, I was contacted by Larry Patterson who's band the UP-SET were backing/studio musicians on this tune. Here's what he had to say: "a little tib bit about Call On Me! The singers could not really hit the HIGHS, so my lead singer Joey Guarino dubbed them in,.....ha ha" and, "Also our voices were dubbed in. here is the breakdown. of the UP=SET (Music Combination) my band: Joey Guarino~Lead vocals Larry Patterson~Sax~vocals Denny Gill~Trumpet~vocals Billy Sparks~Bass~vocals Tom Somich~Drums~vocals Frank Donahue~Guitar~vocals Then there were the Presentations 4 black guys If I remember and a few strings were added." - Kev

Lester Tipton Grapevine Bootleg
Maybe they are going straight for the market that don't give a hoot about ovo and therefore won't care that it's also a boot? i.e. the who cares what it's on brigade. Ultimately there will probably be less fuss made about it and they'll sell a lot more copies. That's just a guess btw. - Kev

Ebay Or Website?
So if it's only one copy of Rita & Tiaras, is it vg++ or near mint ? - Kev

Dan, you want to post this in the 'ebay and websites sales links' section rather than here. This is where people sell bicycles and dogs. - Kev

Impressions UK June 2011 - Manchester and London
What was the line up for the 70's gig Paul? The Northampton line up was Fred Cash, Sam Gooden, and Reggie Torrian. They reckoned it to be their first ever UK gig ("because no-one has asked us before"). Wish I was going now - you're all in for a real treat! - Kev.
