I just checked this band out on youtube doing a cover of Chuck Wood's 'Seven Days Too Long'
Nice band, but the girl needs more soul in her voice.

That's no critism though, as it's a better attempt than Dexy's effort. Living up to the real thing is never going to be an easy task;

AHEM! I declared my undying love for it as soon as you showed me that song! Still love it now, i remember i actually but it on a mix cd for an old flame a few years ago but sadly it wasn't appreciated, i felt it was very appropriate though.

Feel free to contribute (though I doubt anyone will).
Feel free to ask questions on this incredible underground Soul scene, that's been going strong since the mid to late 60's, in the Soul clubs of Northern England.

KEEP THE FAITH.

hi...i am a vocalist touring the club scene in england....i really want to keep as near to the original sound as possible....so...to this end i am looking for the original instrumental track for frank wilsons classic...do i love you (indeed i do)....please let me know if such a recording is available....thanks,peter.

i very much doubt it.... theres the frank wilson version and the chris clark version... but they're both rare as f**k on vinyl....

the frank wilson version was ordered to be destroyed by berry gordy after he found the singer had recorded it on the sly.... the 2 (3 if u count tim's unplayable copy) are all that remain of the original run.... if you believe berry has one anyway...

randomly enough though, if he does have a copy, it would have been stored in the same crypt as MJ was before he was buried.... i think that can only be a good thing lol

Hi guys, first time poster. Northern Soul fan and record collector. And every now and again a DJ.

Just to let you know, UK Tamla Motown put out a copy of Frank Wilson's 'Do I love you' with the Chris Clarke version on the flip in 2006 on 45. Ebay or some such other auction site may still have copies available.

Phil.
