Its on that Chicago LP - All Night Long - from the early 80s, that often gets discussed on here. I think about 500? were printed. One side 60s the other 70s.

BTW - Any idea how much these are fetching?

sold mine for 60 few years ago but i paid 50 for it before finding it was a bootleg

I was lucky enough to get it out of Echoes when they first surfaced. I think 50-60 is fair considering the quality on there.

original 45 is a four figure record now tho isnt it

A lot of tracks on there are still pricey. Great for a slow Sunday to just chuck on while cooking the dinner tho. Its a nightmare trying to take the spuds out of the oven, and on to the worktop, so you dont miss the right place to clap tho :thumbsup:

I have it on East Coast records (for sale)and another by him, mid tempo with the B-side of Try To Think on it The World Keeps Spinning. His brother is a member on here. :thumbsup:

I found him a few years back and wrote it up - or did he find me, probably the latter. He was a painter at that time.

Thanks for the info guys. And ratz...seems every tune I like goes for > 1000 :thumbsup:

So, I'm still fascinated with the whole "cover up" thing. With the DJ announcing the track at Wigan as Herbie Williams, he was playing it as a cover up, and nobody knew the actual artist at the time?

Subquestion: cover ups, were literally 45 labels covered up, that I get. Did people go out of their way to make the covered up labels look real, or was it totally obvious...like white paper or something.

best 'Cover Up' label I've seen was part of a 'Gentlemens Interest' magazine - with the crucial part being centred over where the large hole on a US 45 is...

some go out of their way to make a decent looking label most use any sort of paper.

Just picked up that All Night Long LP, some good jams -- one of the best 12 quid I've spent. The recording quality seems a little off though, to be expected on a boot I suppose.

Is the East Coast original 45 of Court Davis much better? (I'm guessing there's only one or 2 ppl on this forum fortunate enough to answer that.)

Wondering if I need to start counting up my pennies.

Incredible record one of the best ever.Always been an ambition of mine to dance to this one more time since the last time i did when searling was spinning it in the early 80s.Heard that Phil Dick had got a copy and went to a Dewesbury Town hall night last year hoping to realise my ambition.Frustratingly got a phone call about half an hour before Phil's last spot to go home daughter not well. Heart dropped when i checked the plylists on here to see that he played the masterpiece and i missed it.Those late casino playlists have never been surpassed with Court Davis,Deadbeats,Damon Fox,William Powell,Nurons,Herman Hitson,Marvelous Ray.Oh what i would give to hear all those in a set one more time.

See there is one on the bay at the moment.

Glad I got mine when I did about 20 years ago.

Conspiracy theorists manna from heaven.

Thread on SS about a rare record, record turns up shortly after on ebay. :hatsoff2:

I sold a court Davis 5 year ago and got £1500 for it then,also of intrest all the copy's have a pimple effect on the vinyl,guess they were pressed on cheap vinyl,however it doesn't affect the quality,other than a very slight back ground hiss! Still a great flipping tune!
