Chapter Five - You Can't Mean It

[@garymole4409]

To the man that wrote this and sang this tune,i really dont think you know how much this tune means to so many Northern soulies. This tune still fills the dance floors. Thank you both so much. Keep on,keeping on!!!!!

You gota be so proud of him , this is one of my fave tracks and hadnt heard it for so long until i happened upon it here , brings back so many memories of my early first steps into northern soul , just wish i had a copy , tell him thanks for making my day , KTF ✊

[@davidshannon5137]

he did us proug with this tune one of the greats

[@Keepingthefaith72]

Richard Searling found 3 demo`s of this in the back of a recording studio in Manchester for 20p , sometime in the early 70`s ... And so a British rarity was born ......

[@chapter5music]

Nice to hear my old song again.

[@doghot23]

got any spare demo copies of it Dave? even an issue would do......great singing btw crawl crawl hehehehehe :P

[@happyngroovynallthat6708]

Nice one Dave. I got here by The Redskins .

[@petegroover]

dave get onto the record co+ press out some on the original label design,authorised by the band, they would fly away in seconds,ps if you do pls sell me one,i know its a weird idea ,but you'd be surprised ,ask about,original copies just don't come up

[@Keepingthefaith72]

Good try Douglas .....

[@chapter5music]

Our vocalist was John Ritson Doug. I only wrote the song.

[@mlh4711]

Takes me back to Station Road at the end of the 70's when the Casino was in full swing. Great days, great music, great people.

[@MrJohncrowther]

I LOVE THIS SONG ! Takes me back to the 80's mod rallies, best days ever !!!

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Thank Roy Harrison, Den Mac etc at the Olde English, Matlock who breathed life back into this by re-spinnin it again from 79 on.

[@strawman2458]

Fav of the Keighley crowd late seventies,used to pester Brian rae to play it at wigan

[@dazthemod69]

My uncles from Keighley and was big into NS back then.

[@ivanward5615]

Such a big record in the 70's. Sounded great in Wigan Casino all-nighters💫

[@petegroover]

in my opinion THE best soul record to come from the uk,after 40+ years still in my top favourite northern tunes,a masterpiece,i'd love a real one,would'nt we all?

[@sirpaulconwaysirpaulconway6944]

What a classic example of northern soul,tune,sounds like the 100 club in the 1980s :-)

[@peterwhitney2297]

REALLY???? I can't say I remember EVER hearing this there - very big at the Unicorn in Leighton Buzzard though.

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Mate, thank Roy Harrison , Den Mac, at the Olde E, Matlock for reviving this back in 79, ie ore 100Club, (which we all went to when it reopened, btw).

[@StephanParr]

[@petegroover]

[@julianchild5000]

Ribi Bae. Tell your Uncle, this record brought Joy to the Northern Soul Crowd in the mid 70's. I danced to this every weekend at the Casino Ballroom for three years! British Soul at it's best!

[@Wissydean]

It still is going into 2018.

[@jillyb710]

I'm still dancing to it!! From 1970s and still now!! KTF!!

[@chapter5music]

Thanks guys, I'm still playing it live with Soul Survivors (Barrow)

[@hyperlooprecords1609]

Wow what a tune!

[@midge225]

A forgoten treasure , ive not heard this in donkeys years , in my top 10 now

[@choptanktuxent2]

Ritson sounds a lot like Len Barry who was one of the Dovells (from Philadelphia) before he went solo and had a string of blue-eyed soul hits. This recording in fact IMO has that Philly Soul feel to it. Probably sounds as much at home at the New Jersey Shore (Atlantic City, Ocean City, Wildwood etc.) as at the Casino. Where was it recorded?

[@chapter5music]

We recorded it at Olympic studios, London John Laszek. We played 123 by Len Barry in our live set list !!
