No shit!

And I hope your spelling of Winehouse isn't intentional?

If you have it...I demand an upload.

a pm will do nicely.

right-track sorry for the wrong spelling of Winy Alehouse

but can you answer any of my queries regarding the Duffy album.

I don't have the album yet but have listened to it a few times now at mp3sparks and it gets better each time, I'll definitely be getting it.

How and where do I upload songs to anyhow, I'm pretty new to the forum.. these may even be my first posts ;-)

BTW do you or anyone else have 'I Dig You Act' by The O'Jays, I had it on the Esquire label for many years but my ex wife sold off the whole of my soul record collection for a pittance after we split a few years ago and I have been trying to restore the collection since... albeit with mp3's and not the expensive vinyl route. I do actually have a version of the song I am after but it is at such a low bitrate... 32bps that it sounds too tinny to appreciate such a good NS song.

cheers,
David.

Not heard the album yet...sorry.

I have 'I Dig Your Act'.
I'll send you a pm with a compilation if you want.
Chances are I can probably replace your entire collection...make a list, I'll be happy to help.

Thanks right-track I know this is getting way off topic now but it would probably be easier for me if I saw a list of your collection as ATM I am just collecting the songs which I remember (and my memory's fading fast) or if I hear a track, perhaps I need to visit one of the NS clubs that seem to abound these days and re-acquaint myself with those songs.

I was trying to post a link to the Duffy album (getting back on the right track... 'scuse the pun) but apparently I have to make 15 posts before I am allowed to do that.

cheers,
David.

Just been sent the Duffy album, thanks anyway.

David, I have over 250 soul cd's most of which are Northern Soul. It would be easier if you browse through this Amazon.co.uk: northern soul

Look at the track listings on these albums and chances are I'll have the ones your after on one format, or another.
The ones in the link are solid standards, which I'm sure you'll recognise. You could always browse youtube if you need to put a tune to a name. They've got literally hundreds of vinyl upped by the NS scene community.
Send me a list when your done. Good hunting.

Here's the vocals take for the deep soul Syrup & Honey track, complete with breathy sigh that was included on the final.
Favourite so far.

Dayum...that girl can sing. =|

Ok, I wants the album. PM.

wydchr · 03-14-2008, 03:08 AM

Thanks for the album right-track, wma's not my favourite compression method but beggars can't be choosers as they say, you're a stand-up guy.
Is thiis how the forum works, we all share our music as well as our thoughts or do we just upload lower bitrate tasters of music for interested punters to get an appreciation before buying albums for themselves??

cheers,
David
