Olliewtf Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 love this tune alot, sublime record. was jus wondering if anyone had any info, i know its on magic city, dont know much about the label, and was wondering what it fetches as i may want to buy in the future but have a feeling its out of my price range. any info greatly appreciated as always! cheers 1
Tricky Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 To be honest a quality record that you should get reasonably. About 50 should get you one.Sure they were pretty much Mad Dog and the Pups. 2
Premium Stuff Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Yes, not too expensive. Medium I would say in terms of hardness to pick up as far as Magic City stuff goes. Also done by Cynthia & Imaginations on same label. Cheers Richard 1
Roburt Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Oliver Cheatham (of Gaslight, Roundtrip, Oliver) was in the Young Sirs. He also sang lead on Mad Dog & the Pups tracks (though he wasn't actually in the group). Edited August 17, 2012 by Roburt 1
Louise Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) The Young Sirs line up was as follows: Oliver Cheatham, Alan Coker (Oliver's brother in law), Van Johnson, Mike Johnson (nephew of Van) and Ronald Nore. Alan Cocker was also a member of The Gaslight with Oliver Cheatham. Keep your ears open for a fantastic previously unissued Oliver Cheatham release that's coming out very soon.

Dave It's "Ronald Noel" not "Nore". I talked to one of the members and his sister sent me an incredible photo, will try to dig it out to post.
boba Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 the person I talked to told me they were in jet december 17th 1970. This was before jet was online. I just found it, was hoping it would be an article or a picture, it's just a chart. Still looking for the photo:

boba Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Also, butch and the newports and the gaslight are the same group. I have footage of the gaslight on the TV show Ebony Affair on my youtube page:
Kev Cane Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Heard this a couple of years ago via Stevie Green (Cenco) and I absolutely love it, think me and Boba had a bit of a debate about this one, sure it was this, If I remember Boba thought the harmonies were all over the place and not tight enough, then I think the debate went on that these guys couldn,t afford the studio time as opposed to some groups like the Impressions who could therefore spend more time getting it just right whereas the likes of these guys had to get in and get out and take the best take they could, I am sure Boba will correct me though Kev
boba Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 also, the comments under my video give the names of the other two gaslight members
Louise Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 It's "Ronald Noel" not "Nore". I talked to one of the members and his sister sent me an incredible photo, will try to dig it out to post. Sorry Bob, must learn to type better
boba Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I know sometimes people don't remember or say names right also but the photo they sent me had the names written on the back (you can see the bleedthrough).
Louise Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I know sometimes people don't remember or say names right also but the photo they sent me had the names written on the back (you can see the bleedthrough). Your right Bob, it is Noel, it's my typing error. I'm new to this wearing glasses lark keep losing the god damm things!!!!! Dave
Roburt Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I met Oliver in the mid 80's & spent the day with him, he's a very friendly guy. The day ended in him performing live in a Scottish club & he was good. He lives (lived ?) in a town in central France and runs a club there. A mate of mine had a place a few miles away & we went to stay there for 4/5 days about 2 years back but didn't have the time to visit the club.

Roburt Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 That clip is just the trailer ...... .. here's the real thing ....
