Garethx Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 I think people would be daft to pay such a high price for this 45. I accept that it may be quite limited in quantity, but I'm sure not everyone is aware that it dates from the late 1980s, as it was unreleleased at its time of recording. Did John Weston play this at Cleethorpes? I'm sure I heard it somewhere. IMHO a pretty good record.
Gasher Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Its pants IMO..sold it for £25 about 8 years ago. cant see why it would be indemand.. cant dance to it at all.. the gasher

Is this right? How did it get to be issued so late? I always thought it was a legit '60s release! I certainly don't remember any publicity or controversy about this being unissued at any time, so what have I missed out on? Additionally, I remember this being played around 1990, covered up as "How I Get Lonely" by (I think) Eula Cooper. If anyone can shine more light on this, I'd be grateful - thanks.

Garethx Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) If you have a copy Gene, you can clearly see it's not 1960s in vintage. I bought one off John Manship in the late 80s for something like £20 and was surprised by its' appearance when it turned up. This recording was legitimately released by Flaming Arrow label owner Eugene Davis after being played for the first time as an unissued track by Guy Hennigan. I don't know how many they pressed up, but Dave Flynn recalls finding a quantity in Essex a few years later, after Eugene Davis's daughter had moved to the UK to marry an English bloke. As an aside, it was in his dealings with Eugene D that Guy acquired the first two copies of Joseph Webster's current Crow monster. Not thinking that it was much cop, Mr Hennigan sold them for £2 each. The rest is history. Edited June 29, 2005 by garethx

I must admit, I was thrown by the typeface used on the titling when I got my copy. Other than that, I think it does look late '60s - well, I was taken in by it anyway! Gene

Love the track, though

He told me that since he played it recently, he's been inundated with offers for the record. I remember the record being pressed, and I beleive 1990 is about right, I was also aware of the Essex connection......
Sebastian Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 A copy of this 45 sold for £121 on eBay on the 3rd of January 2005.

Gene link Dunno why it was covered in '90. had this on tape since around '87/'88 (pretty sure too, i'll see if I can find the tape) under it's proper name. Always a steady £30 record and can't image why this would fetch what it is now....have seen at £150 Edited June 29, 2005 by chalky
Ged Parker Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Sold one for £60 last week at Bidds after loads of people saying over the last month 'thats too cheap' but not buying it. I dare say I could have stuck a ton on it but I was happy enough to see it go at £60 I thought that was the going rate.
Guest JoeMoran Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 i gave mine away about 7 years ago - it was a £20 record then - didnt think it hiked up that much - nice track tho a bit too frantic for my shoe leather
