Dave Pinch Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 a safe bet to say there`s half a dozen out there then. not many in 25 years. for me it does have a charm about it. although the vocal is just average and where they got the trumpet player from who knows. he sounds like he`s eating the trumpet at the end dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Fuzzj Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 those who pull this tune to bits are talking bollocks bcoz you must rememba the soul of it is in the imperfection whether it be vocally or arrangement or lyrical some tunes do get up ya nose after a while even class wigan oldies this is why tunes like this are fundamentally refreshing. give the small time guys a break for god sake and enjoy the part humility of the final product .

Garethx Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 ^ I agree. Knocking this record is an example of reverse snobbery. The falsetto vocal and flugel horn are distinctive and, to my ears at least, pretty accomplished. Taking monetary value out of the equation this is a good record. Not the greatest record ever made, certainly, but still far more than adequate. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Sometimes the very rare records are subject to over-exposure and this is probably the case with FS. Had there been enough copies around to make this a hundred quid sound we wouldn't hear it as much, but I maintain that it's more than competent small-label soul which shows real talent in the group line-up.

Sorry chaps, but personal taste is by definition 'personal'. Its not bollocks to not like something. That's nonsense. It might enjoyable or refreshing to you fuzzj, but I've been hearing it played out for 20+ years... and would much prefer never to hear it again, thank you!

To each his own Gareth, but I've played the Horn since I was 8 years old and there's nothing 'accomplished' or even 'adequate' about it - to my ears! Must admit, the lead guy's a better vocalist than me though. But only just Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
