I am looking for a copy of The Montclaires -- Hey You ( don't Fight It ) (Good copy !!)

Had a few people warn me that it's not a 'suitable' record for the crowds we attract at The Phoenix in Chesterfield but I absolutely adore it. Bit pricey for a 'stuck in the box' record but Hey !!

PM Me please !!

Pat Brady has a copy up for auction at the moment...

Its not my opinion, it's what a couple of others have said. We play an Oldies night and this is deemed 'other'

You can't deny the quality and I feel ' Play it and be damned' ( If I can get one that is !! )

Cressy and a few others play it and it never fails to get people of all ilks up on the floor but thats not why I want it, its just so bloody good !!

The casino wasn't always a great barometer of great soul music Dave.

At the same time l had one for £8.00.....swapped it with carl fortnum for ramona collins on clarks + £200.00 quite a rare one think john anderson bought the first ones from the boot of a car from some kind of record distribution rep

Buy it on Grapevine and save your pennies for another goodie.

Wash your mouth out Oscarp. Sacrilege !!

Always thought it was done from master tapes so official first release for this on U.K. label same as Kent releases, I would like to be educated on these re - issues.

you could always make do with one with a few marks that plays ok ....bound to be cheaper than 700 and if anything thats how this usually shows up
