Recently bought a 45 by Bessie Watson on Jay Pee (she released 2 x 45s on the label) and have just been informed that this is actually Tobi Lark.

Anyone know if this is true???

Regards

Mace.

Great double sider Baz - sold me last one for £70, though I saw it sell on ebay just over a year ago for about $300!!!!!

The one I just picked up is her second one on the label,

I used to have this, according to Dean Anderson it's dead rare (or was in the 80's, appreciate things are often a bit more available now) really nice, if early record, and she does have a pitch to her voice similar to Tobi Lark but would it not be too early to be her, also have people not contacted Tobi Lark before?

Any idea of value on this nowadays, have been looking (although I'm no longer the record bloodhound I was) for this since I sold it and not seen another one.

Cheers

PS Yes Dean if you are reading I know you also used to say I obtained your copy by foul means, my lawyer says beat it :thumbsup::shades:

Heard it was mega hard to find and got it for $9.01 off ebay :thumbsup:

Mint copy too :shades:

Seller sent me the following emails after sending it too me, hence me asking on here

Hello Andrew, any chance i could bother you for a scan or a photo of the b-side of the bessie watson 45. it turns out this is actually toby lark under a pseudonym and david meikle is trying to do a webisode on soulfuldetroit.com. i had already taken a photo of the a-side but he still needs the b-side. it's no problem if you can't and i understand. if you can please send it as an attachment and i should be able to adjust it from there.

b-side whose gonna miss you.

i'm sending you her discography so far as david sent it to me. i didn't know it was her until after i sold you the record or i wouldn't have even put it up for sale. i did record it before i shipped it and it does sound like her.

At the very begining of Levine's 'Strange World of Northern Soul' film Tobi Lark comes on to speak about h 'Time Will Pass You By' being released on Mala as ''Tobi Legend'' without her ever knowing!
