Dobber Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I don't know a great deal about the record,how many copies etc...but if anyone has a copie they wanna part with,give me a shout! Del-larks - out of the in crowd - jet Atb Lee.
Gold Band Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Ken used to run a post on here called some 6t's for anyday that i used to add tracks too, record goes for £400 - £600 & it is quite rare heres a short cut to the post its near the bottom.
Markw Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I understood that there are very few copies of this knocking around at all. I used to nag Dave Flynn to play this at the Dome. I think Ady Croasdell had one too at one time? I love it.

Still resides at Flynn Towers, Mark Must admit, even though the website piece about the group notes this as being from 1961...i don't believe it is...more like 1964 or 65 imo.
Donkit Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Been on my "wants" list for ages. I think the last time I saw one up for sale was on Lou Stanley's auction a couple of years ago ? Mr Nige Brown played it at York Waterfront New Years Day, unfortunately I wasn't there to hear it Don 2
Jumpinjoan Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Just shows how different people's tastes are. That aside, I would say definitely earlier rather than later David. Edited May 3, 2012 by jumpinjoan

If it were earlier it wouldn't have the In Crowd reference or sound just like The In Crowd Joan Rubbish record, wouldn't pay ten quid for it. 1 7

Markw Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Still resides at Flynn Towers, Mark And I bet that's where it will be staying Mr F!!!

Guest Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 It's a masterpiece of mid-60s big production Pop/Soul...it's epic even, and deserves a video like something out of West Side Story...well that's how I magine it anyway That said, I appreciate it's not everyones cup of tea...did sound good down the hallowed stairs of the 100 Club, mind, as did the majority of big production numbers that Mr.C once championed many moons ago. 2
hullsoul Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Come off it Mark, it has to be some kind of joke record doesn't it? Nobody sings like that on purpose! Must admit to been a bit in the middle with this one,certainly wouldn't be paying big bucks for it as it's just OK to me. Pete's comment is priceless Cheers Martyn
Phil Shields Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I've always quite liked it, but I dohave strange taste :-) Missed the one on eBay a while ago :-( 1
John A Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I sold one of these last year to a mate for £250,it had a bit of scribble on the label but otherwise was ok.Doubt he'd part with it but there must be a few copies around. Edited May 3, 2012 by John A
Prophonics 2029 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I do like the record for its umpa lumpa - Steve mcgarratt- Hawaii 50 sound. Edited May 3, 2012 by Prophonics 2029 1

nickp Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Sound like Tom, Dick and Harry all getting a bit in. Must agree with Mr Smith.
Cobbles Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) would have gone down well at stafford.....bit over the top for me ...but love the parts when the "little anthony" voice come in !....jim hunt had one on ebay a few years ago that only had one bidder for around $300 i think....thought about bidding on it then played it to a friend from work and we both had a good laugh about it...but still find myself liking it in parts !!!! Edited May 7, 2012 by cobbles
Simsy Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 record goes for £400 - £600 & it is quite rare Current bid: £ 1,017.00 Time remaining: Approx. 3 hours 33 minutes Times change eh? I don't think it was ever that cheap then, but yeah ..
Marktsoulman Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I've always quite liked it, but I dohave strange taste :-) Missed the one on eBay a while ago :-( Well Phil I would say you have GOOD taste....but not this one for me? Sounds like the muppet show theme to me.......LOL Glad you missed the ebay copy, won't have to hear it at the great Rugby Niter....... See you over here soon Phil for a few unusual plays.... from the both of us... Mark T 1

Guest gordon russell Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 ooh!.....that is a bad bad tune.......why would anyone ask for this at a dance venue yuk!!........still if thats sammy cambell singing.........he managed to pull it back on his next effort

Markw Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 As fine an example of the Big City sixties soul sound and male group vocal as you will ever hear. A superb record - it is indeed deeply unfashionable, but a superb record nonetheless; musically sophisticated, beautifully produced, orchestrated and performed. Probably why it divides opinion - too sophisticated for the on-the-fours Northern brigade; too sixties and Big City for the crossover mob and no wah-wah guitar for the funky crowd. Some folk may not like it, but it is most definitely not "a rubbish record" or "a shit record", nor is it "a bad tune". I now await the tsunami of counter opinion to crash over me. By the way, it is not Sammy Campbell on lead. 2
Steve G Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Always thought this was a different west coast group?
Chalky Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Same group according to the story here https://www.classicurbanharmony.net/Del%20Larks%20Story%20edit.pdf One record by the Del Larks is hard to date. Sometime in the 1960’s the Del Larks came out with a record called “Out of the In Crowd” on the Jet label. This time Ray Davis did the lead with Sammy Campbell doing the bridge and the ending. It’s easy to suspect that this is an answer to Dobie Gray’s “The In- Crowd,” except the Dobie Gray record came out in 1965 and Ray Davis left the Del Larks in 1963. In addition Ron Taylor said he remembered singing the song and he left the Del Larks in 1961. While the Del Larks recalled the song, they were not aware it ever came out. It’s possible the Del Larks’ song, which they didn’t write, was shopped to Dobie Gray a few years later and changed into “The In Crowd.” Seb first posted the link year or two ago. 2

Markw Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Listen Smith, when the day of reckoning comes, not even your extensive collection of crackly live Wigan tapes will save you from soulful damnation.....................
Guest gordon russell Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 it,s absolutely BAD...........perhaps the conversation after they'd listened to it in a cafe (the del larks) was.....sammy c says to ray d....."now look ray"...."THAT WAS SHIT!!"......"i,ll sing lead vocals on the next tune that we do for that queen city bunch"...."you jive turkey"

Thanks for that I never really paid much attention to it and had assumed as west coast a different group....always nice to know. Did they do this one when they were at Prestatyn then? (no need to answer)
Guest gordon russell Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 No it isn't. O.K.........you,ve got bad taste ........l wouldn,t wanna hear this at a wake.........let alone out.......and played at home it would probably devalue my house considerably.

Guest in town Mikey Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 A 100 club and Capitol classic. Brilliant brilliant tune. I wish i'd presuaded Dave to part with it for 600 quid last year tho
