As to if its been booted I'm in the dark - first one I've ever come across. Anybody any info? And who is sweet geraldine? ATB Rich
Epic Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Don't think it was ever booted - great record that it is - was a last hour tune from The Mecca in '75 - played by Colin Curtis. Very rarely seen - you are a lucky boy.
Maria O Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) came out on magic city 19 with the b side as make love to me babe----also seen it on magic city 20 with the b side have myself a cry-- yellow and red design for the magic city 20 --- -maybe a legit release-------- not much help really-----any one help on this-------- great record though------------------jo Thanks for the info , I didn't know it came out twice. Mine has "Have Myself Ah Cry" (correct 'ah' spelling) on the flip, which sounds like a girly Motown sound - so it can be a bit ....annoying. m Edited February 9, 2006 by Maria
Jo Law Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 hi maria---yep came out twice--and i think none of them are boots--genuine-- go on hitsville site alan pollard has done a write up on this tune---he is also on this site and has a wealth of knowledge re the detroit stuff-------perhaps he can help us with this or maybe dave moore could assist-------------------jo
Harrogatesoul Posted February 10, 2006 Author Posted February 10, 2006 Blimey..Wake on a cold Feb morning and find out you've found a genuine decent NS disc .. If anyone knows who Geraldine is and price / value??? Have listened to several Geraldines last night ... Still not sure. ATB Rich
Jo Law Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 rich your 50 pence find equates to 100 pounds--that was the going rate a few months back----soul sam is playing now so maybe it has gone up a touch---good find for you---she also did another on magic city called sweet pea but its not my cup of tea---dont know who she is but will have a dig about for you --------------------jo
