Markw Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'm Losing Again is on For Millionaires Only Vol 3 (I think?). Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mal C Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 yep (3.For Millionaires Only), they were good CD's those... Very over rated 45, sure its a pretty nice track, rare and all that, and as were told worth a kings ransom, but if you had the cash, would it be a big want?

Frankie Crocker Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Awesome tune. One of the very best Northern tracks. Certainly in my top ten. Compare it to his Hard Working Man RnB track and there's a world of difference. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I used to hate it and dismiss it as R&B. One day I listened to it and my ears opened. Great band, great drums, great vocals, great tempo, great brass. It actually starts R&B and gets more Northern as it goes along. I can see why it's a big record and commands a big ticket price. Cheers Richard 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Julianb Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 First time I heard this was at Sheridans when Tim Brown played it ( I was away from the scene 1974 -1998) so it was new to me.

Quinvy Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I like the record and it looks great, but I find it impossible to dance to, so I've never lusted after it. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest chorleybloke Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I like the record and it looks great, but I find it impossible to dance to, so I've never lusted after it. Always been a top 10 want, although I have to agree with Phil in that it's just a tad too fast for a dancefloor full of 50+ year olds. Wouldn't stop me breaking the bank if one came up for sale though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A mate once told me after he met Ray Agee that he wasn't aware the 45 had been released.

Not suggesting for a second that it's a bootleg & that's why I quoted Ted's reply as well as the post that said it was a boot. Just thought it might be of interest. PS, in the highly unlikely event that it does turn out to be a bootleg I'll give you £50 for it Ted 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mace Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Only worth looking for if your deck (or the decks you DJ on) have got the facility to pitch at -28.

Godzilla Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I'm sure Tim Brown said that Ray Agee said it wasn't him on the record. Well if it's not him, whoever it was must have also recorded those sides on Celeste, Highland, Krafton, Shirley etc because they all sound like the same voice for sure.

Frankie Crocker Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 He may well have said he wasn't aware of the 45/recording, was a long time ago when it was talked about. I don't remember him saying explicitly that it wasn't him though. I guess we will never know for sure. The release of Hard Working Man on Jewel sounds like I'm Losing Again in embryo stage. Ray Agee was a prolific artist and swapped labels enough times to lose track of his output. The Soultown release may well have occurred without his knowledge but I doubt he ever denied performing the song. Whatever the truth, Ray has given us a truly brilliant masterpiece. Anyone know the facts about the LA Soultown label as it has a couple of big tunes, several common ones and a range of bootlegs? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Benji Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 So, looks like it's one the top 5 marmite records? I despised it when I heard it the first time (was on tape) and never rated it much ever since. Well, one day I heard it at a do and it blew me away. Great record when played out...
