John Moffatt Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Hi all, I've been playing Rose Mitchell - Baby Please Don't Go from the RoseAnn release (flip is Jo Ann Henderson's version, originally on Phonograph). The Rose Mitchell originally came out in 1954 on Imperial 5260. Has anyone ever seen one of these? Was it released on 45 or 78 or both? Lastly, does anyone have it for sale (45 only)? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks John
Dave Pinch Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 never seen it john.. none on popsike . chances are it looks like her previous 45 on the label. lookin at the info the reissue sells for £50+ so the orig would be more if it surfaced. good luck with the search https://www.popsike.com/Rose-MitchellSlipping-InImperial-5243Listen/120132569955.html dave
Guest dundeedavie Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) i've seen 3 originals , all in the same box .... it is on 45 and 78 and i know people who have both pricewise , if you can ever find one expect it to be £800+ Edited May 27, 2011 by dundeedavie
Pete S Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 1954? Don't know where John has been playing it or on what 'scene' but that must surely be the oldest record? We'll soon be back in the 40's. Not knocking it though, anything's better than modern soul.
Guest dundeedavie Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 it's an R&B thing pete lol, and i think Hound dog by big mama thornton is '53 ... I also play 78's and would need to check the dates on them but i'm sure some of them will be earlier

Dave Pinch Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) its amazing the 2 year old jazzman reissue sells for £50+.................i wont knock r n b........... but me give 70`s and crossover any day of the year dave Edited May 27, 2011 by dave pinch

Guest Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Sounds worth about 800GBP to my ears: But yeah, 50 for a recent re-issue I just can't do. Weird game it is.
Pete S Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Sounds worth about 800GBP to my ears Sounds worth about 8 quid to my ears! Don't like it. It's like a spiritual, too sparse by a mile and the intro is horrible. It's still better than any crossover record though.
Mace Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Sounds worth about 8 quid to my ears! Don't like it. It's like a spiritual, too sparse by a mile and the intro is horrible. It's still better than any crossover record though. Gotta admit that I've always thought the same Pete. The Rose Mitchell is indeed very rare, but not a patch on the Jo Ann Henderson version imo...and even though the JAH has been hammered to death over the last 5+ years it still sounds great out loud in a small'n'sweaty R&B club Useless on LPs, but didn't the Rose Mitchell get comped on some MFP Lp or the like?
Guest Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Agree on the intro. I'd certainly be dropping this in at 0:40 -- which should take about 200 off the price ya?
Guest dundeedavie Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Useless on LPs, but didn't the Rose Mitchell get comped on some MFP Lp or the like? you are of course correct Mace, it's on an R&B women comp, can't remember the exact title but i have it somewhere. For the better option is the Gizzelle version of the same song and yes i do drop it about 40 secs in
John Moffatt Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Thank you all guys for your replies. As I expected, loads of knowledge delivered with a little bit of passion. Top stuff . I agree about the first half minute or so, it is a bit pointless. As to £800, that puts it well out of my range, even assuming I liked it enough to pay that kind of figure. Does anyone know if the Roseann release is legal? For £50 it ought to be . Just as an aside, I was 4 years old in 1954, so, for me, it's sort of contemporary , along with ration books, farthings and co-op milk tokens . Cheers folks John

Cheers folks John if its the same jazzman i would have thought it legit john but at £50+ ....get out of town . i wouldnt pay that for it on imperial. well i would but i`d flog it dave

Actually, I got it for the Jo Ann Henderson side, 'cos I think £250 or so for a Phonograph is ridiculous. I must have seen well over a dozen copies sold this year, so it isn't that rare, just another must-have record with a typically inflated price. I'd never heard the Rose Mitchell version. I quite like it, but not for silly money. See you soon pal John
Guest dundeedavie Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 . Does anyone know if the Roseann release is legal? Cheers folks John it is definitely legal yes, all of the releases done by that particular club are legal

See you soon pal John lolol ... well i`m a northern soul man that just happens to like crossover and 70`s. never understood the r n b thing. i like a bit of it. it sounds like rock n roll to me but each to his own pal..... see you at the horti and the chillout best dave
Guest Preems Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 My dj partners at Oldies Night in San Francisco designed the label for the Gizzelle 45, Nick Waterhouse pointed the Rose Mitchell out and I think it's great but the Gizzelle may be a little bit better for a dancefloor. I often skip the intro as well.
Andybellwood Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 yep, the Gizzelle version is pretty good in my book , played it at Whiby last year at start of freestyle session - had an interesting reaction as un beknown to me some one had left the pa at full volume, so the intro battered a few ear drums
Guest Preems Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 i worked the door at a show she played, little girl with a HUGE voice
