Albert Petit Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 Payed a pound for mine,in with me crap/boots..............is it legit ? Good question Ken!
Docfish Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 100% legit. Made by Philly Archives, they don't deal with boots. An acetate exists as well... Good question Ken!
Chalky Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 There are two or three mercury acetates. They have different intros and different lead vocalist if memory serves me right. As far as I know the pressings are legit, done by Dave Brown in Philly. 1
Guest Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 100% legit. Made by Philly Archives, they don't deal with boots. An acetate exists as well... Got a few things that looked as though they where pressed in the same place,some labels look really authentic some not so,how come they are only cheap and have seen some given away at lifeline as freebees defo some reissues,can we have a list of these reissues must be cheap this licencing lark
funkyfeet Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) These were done by Dave Brown in Philly early 00's if I remember correctly, got them when he did them it's a great record and I see no problem playing this 45 out. The Visions / Stella & The Gazelles / Ronnie Walker (PC) / Emmanons (PC) / The Dogs (PC) 45's were also done around the same time. Some of the 45's came in Picture Sleeves. Got copies of all if anybody is interested pm me. £7.00 includes P&P, Please note INSPIRATIONS no longer available sold out. Edited June 8, 2010 by funkyfeet
Md Records Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 1,000 copies of Inspirations done, licensed through Frank Bendinelli - virtually sold out, now. TOTALLY LEGAL. Des Parker 1
Albert Petit Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Only 1000 copies? For the price of peanuts?? I love Kings go Forth tune, but don´t understand then how this don´t cost 150 GBP..... Edited June 4, 2010 by Albert Petit 1
funkyfeet Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Only 1000 copies? For the price of peanuts?? I love Kings go Forth tune, but don´t understand then how this don´t cost 150 GBP..... When it gets played out and everyone who wouldn't touch it because it was cheap as chips will suddenly start chasing a copy and start play silly money for it. Think I'll hang onto a few copies.

Guest Brian Ellis Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 What price this if there were only a handful of copies|||
Guest Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 What price this if there were only a handful of copies||| Only 500 kings go fourth and its crap,so name your own price.
Guest Brian Ellis Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Only 500 kings go fourth and its crap,so name your own price. You'd need to be fair, so 'naming your own price' might not be best for all parties. But I think the 'cheap as chips' price tag has disappeared from this record for good!! What's a fair current value? And what might it be in, say, a couple of years' time, when it's totally disappeared?

And what might it be in, say, a couple of years' time, when it's totally disappeared? Worth a tenner of anybodys money, compared to prices for some records that don't come anywhere near this in quality, can only go up in value in the future imo. There be a discussion on here in a few years time about what a bargin they got at the time.
Mick Holdsworth Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 And what might it be in, say, a couple of years' time, when it's totally disappeared? Just checked the source and they (funkadelphia) say they now have "less than ten copies left" - also price has risen from $5 to $15 Cheers Mick

Mal C Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) Unreleased (at the time) Ben-Lee Philly recording. These were pressed a few years ago. Two different versions exist, one slightly faster which was comped on a Goldmine CD and this version which is slightly slower. Great track no matter what! it's worth mentioning that the slightly faster more Northern version, on the Benn X label was played by Butch, and was a BIG record for a while which I suspect came from Ady C, Maybe he can confirm that, the slower version made it onto a Kent CD release at the same time, Goldmine put the slower version on CD and a White Label 45 appeared of that version from them to I assume plug their CD.. I cant really comment on the murky world of some of their 45 releases, that said I bought both CD's and 45's well worth having.. Mal.C. Edited June 5, 2010 by Mal.C.

Butch's copy is a Mercury acetate, Tim Brown has another Mercury acetate, don't think there is much difference in tempo etc, different intro and different lead singer. Butch (and tim) has played his for years, long before it was put out by Dave Brown. Not heard him play it for a while though.

M just a coincidence Mal, the mercury acetates played long before Kent got into Ben Lee and likewise for Tim & the Goldmine cd.

Mattbolton Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Butch has been playing the acetate of this for years. I usually hound him for it at the 100 Club. First heard it on the boot in Goldmine in Manchester. Thought I'd discovered something amazing. Till Tom told me it was a cut from an acetate. Still one of my fave Butch spins. 1

Butch (and tim) has played his for years, long before it was put out by Dave Brown. Not heard him play it for a while though. I now also have a Mercury acetate of it (from Butch).....just for those that like keeping notes of these things Great record! The actual title on the acetate is "Treatin' myself to a new love" Edited March 24, 2013 by Steve G 2
Hammersoul Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Is there a year when it was first recorded Steve? Now i know you got the Original/original format . Good to know so i can put my copy away when we next get you on at Filthy`s I now also have a Mercury acetate of it (from Butch).....just for those that like keeping notes of these things Great record! The actual title on the acetate is "Treatin' myself to a new love"
Steve G Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Hi Wayne I'll check by the master number.....Cheers, yes Filthy sounds good! Steve
Mattbolton Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Although I'm glad you've got a copy now, Steve (and very jealous), does this mean Butch has foregone his own? I can't deny it's been one of my fave records of his for near a decade. I'll miss it if he has.
Steve G Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Matt he might have got a second one. Edited March 24, 2013 by Steve G
Tony Smith Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Matt he might have got a second one. The first copy (your one I presume, Steve) Tim Ash got years back, he had it on tape for a while then finally persuaded the original owner to part with it , one of the songwriters ,sure Butch will put us right here. 1
night nurse Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Only 1000 copies? For the price of peanuts?? I love Kings go Forth tune, but don´t understand then how this don´t cost 150 GBP..... nice tune like this one
Lenny Harkins Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Almost certain, Mark Wilson played a different version of this off an a acetate many moons ago, I'm quite sure the acetate was credited to Charles Diamond. Edited March 25, 2013 by Lenny Harkins
Raremusicdirect Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 A great tune, I was unsure on play out status. Seems all clear - one of the best I heard - would love to hear all versions of course :-)
Agentsmith Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 top quality tune....remember when des got first bunch of dave browns legit issue along with the other stuff mentioned here...honestly forgot how good it was until the relaunch of lowton...and the fact it must also be one of bob hinsley's favourite records as he constantly spins it...naturally, i had to aqquire it....again! and yes, i agree, that at some point its value is going to appreciate BECAUSE its legit and no-one has dared to boot it.
Guest Mrs M Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Lenny Harkins your memory serves you well mate. Mark Wilson did play a slower version back in the early 9t's - Charles Diamond and The Inspirations. For me the far better version and I'm sure Mark was the one to play first of anyone and obviously many years before the faster version came about which, speaking of Lowton was on one of the Anniversary freebie cd's. I still have my Dynamic 3 Soul Club anniversary tapes from The Claremont, Edinburgh and Mark's copy is on there.
Chalky Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 If Mark played it as Charles Diamond and the Inspirations then it was a cover up name as this Inspirations isn't related to the Joey Jefferson group. There are two takes though, the one Butch has and the one Tim Brown has/had, same group different lead. Both takes are out on CD, the Philly cd's from Kent and Goldmine/Soul Supply.
