Chalky Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Did it get a release on Kent? It is a previously unissued track.
Andreas Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I guess he´s searching for the Jam-Cha issue.. a really though one to find. for years under the status "unreleased" but discovered early this year and there was a second copy recently on ebay.

Have you any idea how much it went for and i know im gonna be pushed to get one sp looks like the kent will do for now
Burkyboy Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Yeah its on Kent Select Chalky (006) b/w Fashionettes - Losing Control Shouldn't be too hard to pick up but just did quick search on ebay and couldn't see any Its still pretty hard on the kent label think i have found one
Burkyboy Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Did it get a release on Kent? It is a previously unissued track. Yes kent and also Jam-cha but an hard one
Andreas Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) the real deal went for very reasonable $519 ...summertime, bargain time but note, the original issue on Jam-Cha is different to the Kent issue. The kent issue to me sounds overworked / new mixed and has a more proper sound, while the Jam-Cha record is a noticeable low budget production like the other two records on the label. But Ady Croasdell should know better if they took it straight from the Villa tapes or if they revised the sound. If Im right informed was the Jam-cha recordings about a year later made than the unreleased recording for Villa records. Edited July 21, 2012 by Andreas

Yes i agree the kent one seams a bit tweaked when i first heard it thought it had been another four vandels type of record made for the northern soul scence . The jam-cha sounds like it was recorderd in a garden shed but thats just like a lot of quality nortern soul
NEV Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Have to admit that when I watched it on eBay this week ,I had not previously heard it before . It intrigued me to see yet another scarce 45 on the label . Fantastic label that really did put out some obscure sounds ,but good sounds ...almost all unique sounds from the bay area 1
Chalky Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 The Jam-Char sounds like a demo recording done in the toilet, poor quality really. Not as good as the Kent version IMO. Still a bargain for such a rarity.

Still a bargain for such a rarity. Odd thing to say Chalks ....... my singing sounds great in the toilet ,especially the high notes Sounds more like it was recorded underwater ..like Bob & Gene

boba Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I was the second bidder on the jam-cha record just up, got outbid by a big name DJ. The first one that came up I didn't even bid on because it had a crack. All the jam-cha records sound like crap. I got the west coast distributors for cheap, that record isn't even soul, don't understand the demand for that and glad i didn't pay more.
Benji Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I got the west coast distributors for cheap, that record isn't even soul, don't understand the demand for that and glad i didn't pay more. (I know you've heard it many times before.) This record is pure Northern Soul. Its low budget amateurish approach adds to its charm. Anyone remember its cover up name and who played it first? 1

Anyone remember its cover up name and who played it first? not doubting that it's "northern soul" but it's not soul. the band is even known as a white garage band amongst people into garage who compile facts about different local scenes.

Keithw Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 GOT A SPARE KENT COPY-Unplayed by me ----- 12-00 with post
Mick Holdsworth Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 One appeal of the Villa recording (and Kent issue) is that it uses "Double Cookin'" as the backing track. The Jam-cha is a re-recording with a different music track (If I remember the sleeve notes from the Kent CD, the Jam-Cha was a very short while after Villa) Cheers Mick
Prophonics 2029 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Quiet a nice version, is a sound clip up on the net of the record ?
Mick Holdsworth Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Quiet a nice version, is a sound clip up on the net of the record ? It's still there from the eBay listing ... https://www.ebay.com/...cvip=true&rt=nc Cheers Mick
Prophonics 2029 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks Mick I will give it listen when I get home. Pro. Wow!!! what a great record, the drums sound deep and no Double Cooking insight. Edited July 24, 2012 by Prophonics 2029
Neckender Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 (I know you've heard it many times before.) This record is pure Northern Soul. Its low budget amateurish approach adds to its charm. Anyone remember its cover up name and who played it first? I found the West Coast Distributors at Bob Cattaneo's place in Daly City around 1980. I had it covered up as Ron Carey & the Soul Distributors and played it around the Stafford era. There wasn't any great interest until after 2000 when a few other copies turned up. Like you say, there is something in the poor production that seems to appeal to some of us Northern collectors. Not everyones cup of tea I must confess. 1
