Guest Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Hi there, i have a comp' cd without a track listing, and wondered if anyone could help with details of a song that starts with the lyrics....."i'm the one alone"......later on with the line"she's not there"...it also has a great hammond organ riff in it, hope this isn't too confusing to jog someones memory, cheers, Carl.
Guest Dan Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 sounds a bit like 'i'm such a lonely one' by the oxford nights on delphi will post up sound clip in a mo
Guest in town Mikey Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Defo the Oxford Knights. If you are thinking of buying, beware there are a few moody ones knocking about. The original is stamped "music city" and has 25 and a "B" in a circle scratched in on both sides, plus DL-0016-B on the ISALO side, and DL-0016-A on the flip.
Guest Dan Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) doesn't start with quite the line you mention soulster but does contain a great hammond riff and the line 'she's not there' at the end have a listen, here's a scan too been the subject of some controversy - not everyone likes it but i think it's one of the best northern soul records ever (as opposed to pure 'soul') hope it's what you're after dan Edited October 4, 2005 by Dan
Guest Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 thanks Micky and Dan.that's a great help. Any idea as to the value of an original? Carl.
Guest Dan Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 was up to a 800 quid but coming down a bit now should be easier than that, more like 500 quid or maybe even less think as mikey says moody ones are about so be sure to get a proper one also a record i think will start to go back up in value as don't believe there are that many still to come if what i'm told is true. but who knows?!
Jo Law Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 THERES ONE ON MANSHIPS AUCTION-----THINK IT ENDS WED------

Does any one know where the "moody" ones come from, i've seen people saying about 'lilpedler' but a very reliable source tells me these came from the 'lable owner' just because a rare record turns up people will say there just been pressed.... I mean whats the chances of a 25 count box turning up in tthe USA I bought one of lilpedler and its 100% original and totaly agree with you Dan out and out northern dancer

Like i said rumours can start of quite easy, till i see one of the offending disks or hear of some one with one then i will stick with my instincs and say its not been booted, though im proberly wrong
Guest Baz Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Still none the wiser with this, where's that bloody Mikey when you need him
Chalky Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Like i said rumours can start of quite easy, till i see one of the offending disks or hear of some one with one then i will stick with my instincs and say its not been booted, though im proberly wrong The boots have a shiny label, originals dull black (or is it other way round, sure i'm right with first comment lol). A mate was offered the boots (or some) a few years ago. Edited October 5, 2005 by chalky

Guest in town Mikey Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I have no ideas where the boots are alleged to have come from. I was just asked to pass on sone info on the original by a respected collector and that's all I did. I still had his email so I thought I would add that to this thread because it is till relevant for anyone looking to buy. great tune IMO.
