deanosounds Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I know there has been some interest here on this group and the story behind them so here's a link to a small article I wrote on the subject. https://www.cultureso...-darling-dears/
Chalky Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 The guy found all the remaining stock not so long ago. One or two got a copy cheap and sold on ebay for lots, he saw this happening and came on here to tell the story. he was selling them all at a reasonable price. I'll see if I can find the link when I get a bit of time.
Chalky Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Not Northern really Pete but there is a market out there for records like this...all the stock he had sold easily. Along with the Soul Bros Six rarity on Fine he found the remaining stock of.

Dylan Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 No I know it's not Northern mate but I listened to the file and...well...heard nothing really DJ Shadow played or raved about it it so a lot of kids who follow him and his sounds wanted it.
Mister Fish Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Maybe it's a bit of a marmite one but for those that get it it sits near the summitt of the genre. The drums are phenomenal. Both sides just blow me away everytime. Although I like Rock Candy's version too, the DD's has such balls!
boba Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Hi Jeff, nice article, and awesome photo. But it doesn't mention that "I don't think I'll ever love another" is a cover of Rock Candy on Dontee. I assume the Rock Candy version was first, as it was a group Joe Tate produced in DC. Just FYI.
galaxy Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 isn't it a little weird that there is another re-issue just out? https://www.nowagainrecords.com/announcing-darling-dears-and-funky-heavys-sweet-funk-masterworks-on-7-and-a-free-mp3/

Shame realy with a strong vocal it would've been pretty good.

Shame realy with a strong vocal it would've been pretty good. do you know the rock candy original version of "I don't think I'll ever love another"? My favorite record of all time and you definitely can't say the singing's not good. It's not psychedelic like the darling dears though.

I have listened to it a few times and think I might have it on a CD comp somewhere. I can't remember it exactly so I will dig it out and listen again. If its got a strong vocal chances are I will like it and the fact its not psychedelic may also improve it for me.
Guest Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Agree with PETE on this, very average, vocals remind me of a lot of bad lovers rock records to be honest.....can understand why some people like the breaks, but even they feel at odds to the melody to me...whatever rocks ya though...
Jnixon Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 isn't it a little weird that there is another re-issue just out? https://www.nowagainr...and-a-free-mp3/ are they licenced to different parts if the world maybe? us + europe?
boba Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 are they licenced to different parts if the world maybe? us + europe? no, they are licensed from different people who each have some sort of claim to the masters. Both reissues originate from the US.
