Any info on this please

I'd only seen it on IX Chains before this one

Thanks

[sepia]

think that was 1st release.

only seen it for sale a couple of times.

Its a tiny Memphis label which issued both the XI chains singles first. Its quite strange that the powers that be at XI chains decided to swap the flips of each record for their releases, so each XI chains release has a side from each of the separate Black Magic releases, if I've explained myself enough...

It doesn't show up often, I managed to get mine out of soul sam's sales box.....

[Kjw]

Thanks for the replies

Anyone have any idea of value

[Steve G]

Not an enormous amount since it's one it's more of a "collectors" record. £75 to a collector I'd say.

[Mister Fish]

One just went on ebay for £50 odd I think. But get the IX Chains issue copy it's got the two good dancers 'you can be cured' being a fave.

Paul,

What do you want to know about it? I think I bought this as a new release in the mid/late 80’s. It’s released on both 7 & 12”, If you look at the credits the people mentioned are very Memphis based including production credit by his brother, so would assume another Memphis label even thought it doesn’t mention it. Was played at a few 2-Step do’s, I attended at the time.

The previous Sharp Mouth release was Angela Cruse — Making Love / Secret Lover, which was also a bit of a stepper and I’ve only seen a 12” release of this. Looking at a picture of it the 12" says its "recorded at Willie Mitchell's Studio" so looks like Sharp Mouth was a Memphis label.

OK thanks John, 45 doesn't mention Memphis, and no Brown listed among the producers, although there is as Engineer and Mixer.

[Steve G]

Another Randy Brown oddity is his Christmas song on Sound Town. Have a white label test pressing of it.

Yep my mistake, was ment to say engineer.

Steve, is it the same mix as the single?

Thanks Steve

That's about what I thought

[Guest OSCARP]

A bit off original question but IX chains had some great artists,nice records both dancers and sweet soul.

[Steve G]

It certainly did, most of them are ok - good. Not many turkeys.

John - yes same mix.

[phillyDaveG]

Got the "Move me" too on a 45, an okay midtempo number, nothing special.

[Sunnysoul]

Also a bit off the original topic question - is Randy Brown still actively performing and recording ?
