Where is the demand coming from for this track? I've sold three in the last 12 months £25, then £30. then £35 seems like no one wants to haggle and what ever I put in the sales box at it goes for. Just like the Kelly Brothers Crying Days are Over - always goes straight away. I know they are both great cheapies (though cheap is becoming a relative term) but who is playing them to create such a buzz about records that have been know for years?

Hi Ged,

I played this track a few times at the Greatstone (Ernie Johnson), must be five years ago, nice tune, went down quite well, but thats about all, forgot all about it. Then I heard it again earlier this year on the excellent Orwell freebie CD, it sounded really nice!!,I have also heard it played out at the Orwell a couple of times, and it had great dance flooor reaction. So I would guess thats where the re-newed interest has come from, for this particular record anyway. Venues like yours, the G.S. & S.O. N. that have no problem playing some of the cheaper sides, back to back with more pricey records, will I feel inevitably re-invent some of the forgotten 'sales box fillers'.....Tony

That's the answer Tony the Orwell CD didn't know it was on there. I put it on a CD for Steve Cato about 12 months ago, having rediscovered a number of copies of it lurking in a dark corner of the record room. I've had them since Flanny was playing it at the Saints club. I may even spin it at S.O.N. on 26th. Funny how us purists feel about CD's when used at venues but they really do have a real place in opening up forgotten sounds to new audiences.

Well I'm supposed to be writing a keynote speach for delivery at the Institute of Licensing annual conference in York on Monday. So thinking about records is way way more interesting. Still I could look a bit of an idiot in front of 450 people reciting a playlist if I'm not careful. .

Nice one Tony

You're right about GS, SON & The Big O (sorry, couldn't resist that one!)...................all love to play older known/semi-known cheaper sides along with the rarities!

btw Ernie was originally played at Thorne in the late 80's but has been coming up on the rails over the last few years. I've done a little piece for the December edition of 'On The Scene' about 45's such as this and in actual fact Ernie is amongst the 45's mentioned!

Take care and have a good on Saturday!

Cheers

Never took any notice of it in the past ,( danced to anything that sounded good ) but after digging out a cd ( out of the blue records 001 ) and playing it in the car . wow this is good and as a part time warm up dj ,, thinking, must get this on a origanal and play it out loud .

Getting the room tapping their feet including oldie fans ( you never know ) while getting the beers in.

cheers and thanks for the info

My apologies, just re-read my posting and it is incorrect!

I meant to say, it was extremely popular at Thorne in the late 80's rather than first played. You're right as i think i bought a copy meself in the early 80's from SB!

Sorry for the confusion.
