Don

Recently on Ebay sold for £190.

Not sure if you're buying or selling Don. If buying and want to save a few quid to get this great track with some rather nice deep soul things too, then his LP on Guinness can be picked up for around £50-£100 depending on condition. Very high quality recording it is too.

Cheers, Steve.

rare one has the larger typset, i'd say £350 on that £200ish on other.

i bought that rod and was the only bidder......took a chance..high start bid...in poland and seller had little feedback..probably scared folk off.but it arrived all good

the guiness lp is worth buying for nobody loves me like you baby..as well as a slightly diff take of he broke your game...

A review of the Guinness album here. Obviously one may agree or disagree with the guy's comments

https://badcatrecords...t/DELLfrank.htm

One thing's for sure he's a great voice

For my ears the following sound nice on his CD's (short clips on Dell's own site below)

Taxi

I Stand Accused

Sweet Love Songs

Daily Lovin'

Welcome Home

and that cut of Cornelius Brother's "Too Late To Turn Back Now" sounds great.

Ian cunliffe that well respected seller of soul dittys,had one in his sales box last week cant remember how much sure he will comment.

What a dull record this is.

Will not make it onto "The Thinking Man's Oldies"

Edited February 21, 201312 yr by Pete S

Pete...can we have a list of these, so called thinking mans oldies please, juust to give us something to think about

When you hear the original Valise recording it blows your socks off - the production for the time is amazing.

its a great record imo.....i think i got a bargain tuther day...i rate it £350 and 450 with the thicker vinyl larger typeface..books a lot higher tho

Not as dull as Sammy Ward 'Sister Lee', even my kids call it "that boring record"

Love Frank Dell!

I put one in my sales box recently for Rugby having paid a fiver for it in the 80's i hadnt put a price on it but the back of the sleve showed a 100 quid from some other sale, old Charlie mac nearly had a heart attack thinking he had got a bargain sold it for 300 in the end

sam ward..very dirgey

i bought it originally in 1991 for a fiver from big kev from mexboro he thought it was a boot..i wanted it but put him straight on the matter,,, he was impressed so he let me have it for a fiver anyway as long as i went to the bar and bought him a pint...happy days...sold it late 90`s for 75 to andy lees...only just got one back all the way from poland

Now you see Sam Ward rings my bell, again for the production - it's just a stone groove, it wallops that bassline out.

anita ward ring my bell barry...... ........seriously tho i never got sam ward...bored with it after 30 seconds...i didnt get bari track either tho i did buy it for the other side

BRADLEYS RECORDS in Doncaster had a few copies of this GUINNESS LP Early 80s.

Racks full of LPs Deleted and cheap Upstairs in their store.

I bought about 4 Copies of FRANK DELL L.P. at one time, wish I still had them. I left a few copies on the shelves too. Those were the days.

heres a track from the guiness lp........played it at the H & G chillout a few times

Unfortunately I didn't DAVE.

I sold them to buy 45s, a few years ago. Never really collected LPs, Just browsed the shelves In places like Bradleys for Bargains to sell on at a later date.

I have the Valise copy. Always been a 45 collector with too many wants to purchase vs funds.

spot on pete with no2 edging it..although i would have swapped the uptights for frank dell

Well it's all subjective Dave, I didn't think that many people would know The Uptights, or things like The Voices, I know I included one or two 'top 500' things but in general it's stuff I would have played if I dj'd, or would like to hear someone play. They're meant to run together like a dj set. Not to be taken too seriously.

Edited February 22, 201312 yr by Pete S

too right pete and they are bloody good

some great tunes on that list pete , having had or still got most of em

It's a nice tune and I like Frank Dell's vocal style BUT HBYGWO is too slow for a dancer and the great 'BABY YOU'VE GOT IT' is too fast (now !!)

I know that Frank Dell is also Big Frank & Essence on Philips. But didn't he also record under a 3rd name?

The Thinking Man's oldies lists look superb. How I wish I could afford The Tempos or Precisions

His full name is Franklin Delano Murphy aka Frank Dell aka Big Frank aka Big Frank Murphy

 

Nice bio on this site https://badcatrecords.com/BadCat/DELLfrank.htm

I remember when he did Cleethorpes, he had such a powerful voice that he started singing as he walked on stage and the mic picked it up clear as a bell, truly amazing to see and hear

Love they way the track squeek!! Is it the bass players fingers?.
