Redskins inspired by Chapter 5

[soulcialist]

Hi comrades,

Hi Bazza. Thanks for the great work you're doing to pay respect to this wonderfull band.

Do you know the northern soul song called " you can't mean it" by Chapter 5 (on Northern Soul the classics - Goldmine rec)?

The brass riff is absolutely the same as one of "turnin'loose".

A brilliant song ! The redskins were hip in this black music we love.

Take care, let's keep on the fight to build a better future

Romuald "soulcialist" From Les Partisans
(the band is over and our website has been crashed by Lycos owners. We'll make a remember page someday)

I haven't heard "You Can't Mean It" by Chapter 5, but I did read in a fanzine once that the Redskins had used the brass riff from that song.

Sorry to hear about Les Partisans. Are the members in any other bands now?

[soulcialist]

Yes, Norb's the drummer is playing in No Reason Voices, a punk rock band with the ex-guitarist of Les Partisans called Daniel (on the first album and the two first singles).

Not very political.

Les Partisans have stopped since the last single "le spectre danse encore" in 2002. Have you heard it ?
It's in the Housemartins/Jam style (and we hope the Redskins but it's so pretentious)

Take care and please find a song from Chris Dean and the Chrystallites !!

I have heard that Chris was working for Vogue in Paris few years ago. Urban legend ?

[Bazza]

I think I might of got that single as I bought a Les Partisan single couple of years ago off Detour. I've also got the album "Sono Mondiale!".

I've heard that story about Chris working for Vogue once before when I got an email off Attila The Stockbroker asking me if Chris was still working for Vogue. There's loads of rumours about Chris most of which I would say are untrue. As far as I know Chris is now living back in England.

The fashion mag? Doesn't sound like his thing...

I heard the Chapter 5 single for the first time last night and the brass riff is the same as Turnin' Loose.
