Hammersoul Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Don't forget there's another Essence of Love release on that label Is it any good Simon? i`ll try and check my copy Chris but don`t didn`t know it had 2 presses/releases. Edited March 10, 2010 by Hammersoul
Simon T Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Is it any good Simon? I liked it, but that was about 25 years ago when Robin Salter used to play it. I think it must be quite rare as I've never seen it for sale.
Karlm Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I liked it, but that was about 25 years ago when Robin Salter used to play it. I think it must be quite rare as I've never seen it for sale. I've seen it once on eBay and in knackered condition. Went fairly cheap wish I placed a bid on it. It's too fast and messy and the intro's not that good but it got some real good parts. Pitch -5 and a edit perhaps?
Chris Anderton Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 Can anyone confirm 100% that Essence of love and Eugene Smiley are exactly the same record? Cheers, Chris

Robin has good taste has does yourself so think it might be `up my street` ..Will try and find a sound clip...Anybody

Think this is the same as the Eugene Smiley version Edited March 11, 2010 by Dave Thorley
Tony Turner Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I think that the Essence Of Love is a cracker - called 'I Want To Share My Love With You'. Been looking for it for over 20 years.
Chris Anderton Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 Dave, thanks for posting that up mate, much appreciated. Sounds the same to me. Cheers, Chris
NEV Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 What's the going rate Chris? expensive Arron around £600 if mem serves me right
Liljimmycrank Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 expensive Arron around £600 if mem serves me right Cheers Nev. Take it price doesnt differ between the Eugene Smiley & Essence of love? A really great track, although dont think it tops the wants list for me at that price, better tunes to chase for the dosh
NEV Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Cheers Nev. Take it price doesnt differ between the Eugene Smiley & Essence of love? A really great track, although dont think it tops the wants list for me at that price, better tunes to chase for the dosh Google search shows it went for a lot more than £600 but condition is the key ......tis a very sought after modern 45 and not easy to track down Original question from you .....is it harder on Essence or Eugene and essence...... I would say Essence is harder , but still hard on either.....don't think price varies ,more a case of demand for either will push the price up in the "must have at any cost " scenario
Russ Vickers Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 The Light Blue issues credited to Essence of Love, in my experience are far harder than the ES & EL WD. Bloody fantastic record IMHO & a hard record on either press. This was covered up as the Fiestas wasnt it, early 8ts.........for the life of me I cant imagine why it was covered as the Fiestas lol Russ
