Guest James Trouble Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Can anybody get me a copy of this? I'll happily pay top dollar. Thanks James Trouble jamestrouble@hotmail.com
Guest LeoLyxxx Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Get me one while you're at it... this must be top 10 northern ever... best Leo
Guest James Trouble Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 That's what I think;-) I'd pay £500 for one (I think price guide says £400), just in case that would persuade anybody who is thinking of selling.... jamestrouble@hotmail.com
Tony Smith Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Good luck! can't remember the last time I saw one for sale??
Guest LeoLyxxx Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Played it at home last night from the Stafford compilation on Goldmine, mind-blowing every time, those drums are so good.. imagine this loud on a dancefloor, i would probably throw myself into a fit or just freeze not knowing how to dance to it ;-) But good luck JT! best Leo
Guest James Trouble Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Drums on it are nice!!! Very funky;-) I may also be able to trade as well, just in case someone out there has one.....
Dave Abbott Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Superb record. Been after this a while myself, quite elusive it is! I have a dealer on the lookout for me, he thinks up to £600 (but then he would cos he's a delear :-)
Guest cC B Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 The 'rarer' version by Little Willie Faulk went on ebay a couple of months ago @ $1700 or something like that. Same label, same backing and 'pretty much' the same vocals. Last copy I saw for sale of Ree Flores was £1000 (!). Used to be 'cheap' in the mid-80s or whatever... Or so the 'older and wiser' collectors say... ;-) Cheers Christian B
Guest Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 I think Ree Flores version is better than the Little Willie Faulkner one, better vocal on Ree Flores. The only advantage with the LWF is that it seemed to be vinyl whilst the Ree Flores ones I've seen were styrene. Great record but a tad fast and tricky to dance to, for most people. I have heard it out loud many times, Bob Hinsley has played it every time I have heard him DJ + some of our guests over here have also played it. Good tune, but not a record I would keep myself, so I'll be glad to sell it to anyone of you, if I should happen to find one:-)
Guest James Trouble Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Thanks for the info on the styrene/vinyl. I prefer the Rees Flores version as well.
Guest marco Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Oi! Get in line James! Ree Flores definitely the stronger vocal...not that there's much in it. Too fast? Hmmm, perhaps you've been taking the wrong *!$%'s, Christian? "Not a record I'd keep myself"...my mind is well and truly boggled. Vynil vs Styrene....is this what it has come to?
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Yeah, but which one tastes bitter??? I don't know which one does taste like bitter? Just a thought if Styrene tasted like bitter would Vinyl taste like God's own Stella Artois (or Wife beater as it's affectionately known) John

Garethx Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Re Flores is on vinyl. Don't think I've ever seen one on styrene. I sold one to Adey Potts last year for about half of what people are quoting it at now. Oh well... we live, but some of us never learn.

I'll get me coat now....................
Guest Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 The ones I saw looked very much like styrene, nothing remarkable if both materials exist though I think. Vinyl tastes and smells better, styrene tastes foul:-) I do like it Marco, but not enough to warrant spending £500 or whatever it sells for. There are other things which are higher on my priority list. I'm quite happy to hear it out every now and then, played by someone else. On the occasions I heard it in the UK it almost completely cleared the floor, every time, with only myself and maybe one or two others staying on, trying to work out to it. The floor reacted positevely to it on the occasions that guest-DJ's of ours played it over here though. It kinda reminds me of "Manifesto", and other rock-soul fusion type sounds.
Garethx Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 I may be going a bit off-topic here, but I can't agree that any money spent on Stella is a good idea. It's gotta be the worst lager in the world. The Belgians must be laughing at us. Do you think it's brewed and distributed by the same Popcorn dealers who take thousands of orders for non-existent records and then scarper with the cash?
Guest Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 A bit like Heineken and many others (sadly most swedish beers too) in that it is like the old "making love in a canoe" joke...
Dave Abbott Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 I may be going a bit off-topic here, but I can't agree that any money spent on Stella is a good idea. It's gotta be the worst lager in the world. Couldn't agree more Gareth. And it give you a bloody headache before you've even finished the first one. disgusting stuff... ... unlike ree flores which is brill (back on topic!)
Guest marco Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Aha! So it is you Gareth! And Christian...that's more of a condemnation of the British soul scene than it is the record...that's half the f!@&ing problem!..most of the !**£'s on the scene would rather dance to Barbara Dane or Party Time Man than Ree Flores. But somewhere out there...(cue flutes, moog and shimmery visuals)
Guest James Trouble Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Rees Flores clears the floor!?!?!?!?! That's very disturbing:-( Maybe if the DJ had said "this one was massive at Wigan...."
Guest James Trouble Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 It was a snipe at the the 'if i don't know it it can't be any good brigade'! ( have a read of the 'accross the board' topic)
