Ric-tic Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 saw this on e.bay, is this right? i know its one of the rarer creative funks but has anyone seen this record selling for this? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-FUNK-DIANE-JENK...1QQcmdZViewItem
Larsc Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 So Creative Funk 12002 was issued twice with different songs? That number is in my listings as TOW-A-WAY ZONE/ANNIVERSARY
Ric-tic Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 yes it was recycle must have been first, maybee withdrawn much more obscure than tow away zone.
Codfromderby Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 yes it was recycle must have been first, maybee withdrawn much more obscure than tow away zone. obscure maybe but is it any good
Ric-tic Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 obscure maybe but is it any good apart from i need you and tow away zone this is the only other uptempo release by diane, of course it isnt really northerrn [but i do think levine tried this once or twice art the mecca]its more funk i think this is a good record especially if you like the creative funk sound, its all about us recycling our minds

That was Northern wasn't it? Or is that on the other side? (My copy is currently packed away) It came through in bulk mid-1974 - a full year before "Tow-A-Way Zone" et. al. was played!

Guest mel brat Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) obscure maybe but is it any good If this is the B-side to "Sweet Wine, Music And My Imagination" it isn't AT ALL obscure, as many of us bought it back in 1974, before the other two got spins a t'Mecca! If so, I like it! Mid-tempo dancer, rather like "Memories And Souvenirs" by Laura Greene. Edited January 18, 2007 by mel brat

Mak Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 So Creative Funk 12002 was issued twice with different songs? That number is in my listings as TOW-A-WAY ZONE/ANNIVERSARY Thats right , it seems the item has been withdrawn/invalid . Was the seller from USA or UK
Guest Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Ref: Recycle. I've never seen this record before?? Seems no reason for it to clash with release # 2002..strange. Actually #2003 is a mystery to me it is the only Creative Funk 45 in the series we've not had in stock. Anyone know what it is??? #2002 "Recycle" is NOT in the funk & Groove or R&B Indies book listings. Watch this space, maybe truly rare and authentic; but don't be surprised if it's been lifted from a studio tape and pressed as a 45, that has happened before a few times. I'm sure time will reveal all...
Dean Rudland Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) I think this is the Creative Funk 45 that Jazzman Gerald sold last year for about £200 - not this exact copy - so not a one off. But obviously rare if JM hasn't seen a copy. I think I will ask Gerald what he knew about it, as he obviously knew enough to price it high. Edited January 18, 2007 by Dean Rudland

I'm sure time will reveal all... this record is real, ive had this since before tow away zone or i need you were played at the mecca before there was intrest in diane or creative funk, recycle did get one or two mecca plays in the time when there was so much new stuff every week the item has dissapeared because this topic is a year old the price as i remember was £300, ive always known this was rare but that surprised me
Sebastian Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Recycle - diane jenkins - creative funk 13535 refosoul Sold for $128 on eBay a couple of months ago: https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar.php...nr=190033121157 Good funk dancer and in my opinion far better than her other uptempo releases on the label.

Mike Lofthouse Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 am i right in thinking that when ian levine met diane jenkins in 1974 he had a hand either in writing or producing 12006 - i need you - almost as a taylor made for the highland room from the man himself.... Well as I couldn't find the earlier postoing, here goes..... I tracked down Creative Funk label owner Deke DeBerry. He's now living in Carolina. His brother Gary DeBerry still lives in New York, and was the bass player in Creative Funk. Back in 1976, Sheila Hart and I went with them all to an open air concert upstate New York for radio station WLIB. Diane Jenkins performed with Creative Funk, and I got introduced to the audience. It was what was called a "Picnic In The Park". We'd made "Tow Away Zone" such an underground hit at Blackpool Mecca and the Northern Soul scene, that they'd asked me to explain what sound we were into, and so "I Need You" was born, as an attempt to create something that the Northern Soul Scene would also like. Anyway, forward to 1999. We were desperately trying to find Diane for the "Strange World Of Northern Soul". Gary DeBerry tracked her down to a block of flats in Brooklyn and got her phone number. But she wouldn't return any messages. He said he'd heard she was a bit of a junkie, but didn't know if this was true or not. In the end, he went over to Brooklyn twice, but couldn't get her to even answer the door. I left many pleading messages on her answer phone, but to no avail. As I said...... The STRANGE world of Northern Soul. Ian Levine Moderator - Advanced Northern Soul List Mike
Rushden Vic Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) thanks again mike suprised levines saying 76 im gonna have to delve into my old copys of black music as theres a article and picture of him with diane jenkins i thought it was 74/5 but its a long time ago and i have trouble remembering what i did yesterday , so its up in the loft for me a searching Edited January 18, 2007 by Tony Parker
Ric-tic Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 MIKE i have a creative funk press kit photo and biography in this it says gary was berrys son, thats kind of how he started the label for him, if i have time ill type it up at the weekend

Is this correct? The label listing seems to validate that. Has anyone a scan of it? That would be great if they have..

There was a scan posted above, but here it is again: And here's another one: Edited January 19, 2007 by Sebastian

So what is # 03 then ? anyone know? 12002A/12003A Diane Jenkins - Recycle / Gee baby, what about you (different label numbers on each side).
