MrsWoodsrules Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Never knew this track, only just heard it, love it. Who/where did this first get spins? Does it still get spins? What a mega tune this is IMO. West Coast I presume then? Did he do anything else?
Md Records Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Played at Stafford by Keb as "Randolph Wright - So They Say" the other side is lovely mid tempo "Destination" not sure if it's on "You Tube" - Not that technically great, I'm afraid! Des 1
Md Records Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 You're probably right Tony, I remember Keb playing it. Des
Back Street Blue Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Sam Cox - life is love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M588G3OCmH8 ....new to me too.....like the horn break Edited October 1, 2013 by back street blue
Md Records Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Probably getting my "Randolph Wright" and "Oscar Wright" mixed up!! Des 1
Guest Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Think it was Guy...the copy he played was cracked...it's still in his DJ box now complete with tape marks! Fabulous grinding Northern...the flip is also worth a listen, as Des pointed out. Thought it would go higher last time it was on Mannie's auction...not the easiest disc to pick up, so maybe currently undervalued? 1
Gene-r Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Bought my copy from Ray Evans of Angelesy in 1986 for £25. Sold it for ten times that amount as many years later! 1
purist Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 One that I've been trying to buy for years now, I want it for the flip, so if anybodys got one with L.I.L. in bad condition I'll happily buy that :-) wishful thinking (btw, I saw it on a list, maybe Tim B? - for 300 but thought that was too much so left it)
Gene-r Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (btw, I saw it on a list, maybe Tim B? - for 300 but thought that was too much so left it) Probably about right for a minter I think?

What a mega tune this is IMO.West Coast I presume then? Did he do anything else? Yes. All of the cuts on Anthony Renfro's Renfro Records were recorded in L.A.

purist Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 'For home play only' (!) - 'Destination' is on one of those Connoisseur reissue 45s. #504. Shouldn't be no more than a tenner at the most I would have thought. Thanks for the info. Do you mean the Connoisseur label that Buddy Smith got issued on, or some other one? I've a feeling I've seen a pale label with green writing on, possibly George Hibson or a similar track on this other label? on a tangent, Is there a track listing for the blue Connoisseur label? Seem to remember a version of Genie, poss by Pat Lewis, ??
Harrogatesoul Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 https://www.discogs.com/Freddy-Jaye-Sam-Cox-Thinking-Of-You-Destination/release/2988370 There you go! Even one for sale too. Never seen a full listing to be honest - The Pat Lewis rings a bell though. Cheers, Rich
Ted Massey Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Bought my copy from Ray Evans of Angelesy in 1986 for £25. Sold it for ten times that amount as many years later! Ray Evans he turned up some good stuff 1
Gene-r Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Ray Evans he turned up some good stuff He sure did Ted - remember when he had the only copy of the Executive Four on Lumar - think he wanted £180 for it around 1985.
Tony Smith Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Ray Evans he turned up some good stuff Shame he ripped some people off.

Shouldn't be no more than a tenner at the most I would have thought. Or you could get the Kent CD with it on for about the same price and have Bobby Wisdom, Morris Chestnut, The Stunners, Carl Henderson, Young Brothers and Sequins-just a thought
Harrogatesoul Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Or you could get the Kent CD with it on for about the same price and have Bobby Wisdom, Morris Chestnut, The Stunners, Carl Henderson, Young Brothers and Sequins-just a thought Of course - and what a fine collection it is. Was looking at it from a 45 viewpoint only.
Chalky Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Connoisseur reissue? I thought it was a bootleg? Is it right to encourage the purchase of bootlegs? It is a practice that is getting more and more prevalent of late. 1
Harrogatesoul Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I was under the impression Connoisseur was legit Chalky? And no it isn't right to encourage the purchasing of bootlegs (which I never do and never have done on this forum) but if I'm wrong on the legality of said label then I withdraw my previous post!! 1
Ady Croasdell Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I can't think what the label looks like but unless it says licensed from ITP it would be a boot
Roburt Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Here's a scan of the tuva side of this 45 ....... 1 cut from United Artists, 1 from Renfro, shouts BOOT to me ..... ... about a dozen 45's on the label, usually different artists on each side. Again shouts BOOT to me ...... Edited October 4, 2013 by Roburt
boba Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Or you could get the Kent CD with it on for about the same price and have Bobby Wisdom, Morris Chestnut, The Stunners, Carl Henderson, Young Brothers and Sequins-just a thought i got that weird ITP CD when it came out, did they purchase the renfro catalog outright at the time?
Ady Croasdell Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 i got that weird ITP CD when it came out, did they purchase the renfro catalog outright at the time? Yes and Alan Beck introduced me to Anthony who was a great guy.
