Trying To Make Ends Meet

[Guest Ste Brazil]

I heard this great Funk track played by Butch at a Soul weekender in Barcelona last year, it is by Earl English / Apaches and i imagine very rare - well i've never seen it anywhere for sale anyway! Has anybody any idea of the going rate and how many of these are in existence etc?

Going rate - lots

Copies in existence (known at least) - not many

Came out twice actually, slightly different mixes. Apaches on Big 8 (with a killer x-over flip) and as Earl English on Six-Toe. Opinions are divided as to which mix is better....either way it's a monster.

Two versions. Forget the Apaches version, you want the Earl English version.

Butch first heard it played at Gihon in North Spain by Wrighty if my memory serves me right.

Pretty fucking tough. Sold my first copy for £2500 in the summer of 2000 before getting it back for around $1200 I think a couple of years ago. I let it go in a trade for Joseph Webster if I remember rightly.

Forget what the Brew says about the debate about best version, there is only the Earl English version to worry about.

You can hear it here.

You clearly do not feel the Funk Sir!!

Another question....This single (Trying to make...) is on a rare funk compilation alongside a track called 'Come on down to the Ghetto - Superlatives, any idea of the value/availability? I have a copy but am pretty sure it's not THAT rare??

Great tune. This is definitely the version.
