The French Fries EPIC 5-10313 (Radio Station Copy) Danse A La Musique / Small Fries NOS Label: VG++ Vinyl: VG++ Epic Sleeve: VG+ This 45 rpm record is extremely close to M- Sly Stone took his original tapes for Dance to the Music stripped out the verses, added a new vocal in French and put a fuzz guitar up front making it perhaps the first ever remix of a chart hit. In all my years of crate digging in the delta south, i'd never come across this before, fyi. Unique opportunity for a excellent condition copy. Thanks for looking, Vic Lagniappe Record Shop 819 Foreman Drive Lafayette, LA 70506 USA Paypal Buyer pays shipping (OVERSEAS $12) (US media mail, unless otherwise requested) Express, Insurance and/or registered tracking extra The record listed came out of boxes from a record store in Ville Platte, LA that went out of business (Floyd's Record Store ) The guy who owns Lagniappe Records (where I work) purchased some of their inventory when Floyd's went out of business.

DeltaSouth Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) i'm a cajun. we have a saying... "lagniappe" which means, a little extra thrown in, or "a bakers dozen". i have a few records that are in the vg range, that you folks may want. the potential winner of the French Fries 45 can have one of these free. your choice. free is an awesome price. i've noted my personal fav songs on these below. harry belafonte rca victor EP 768 (day-o) lee dorsey flashback flb3 (ya ya) lee dorsey amy 965 (holy cow) soul notes way out 1001 (don't make me beg) beaucoup lagniappe: no extra shipping charge for the freebies, to the potential winner of this featured 45 (french fries) you'll only pay shipping for the purchased item, not the freebie that i'll thrown in!

Pete S Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 What a crap record! Oh no! It's a FANTASTIC record. Brilliant to dance to and used to sound great at Wigan. Not sure if it's an offers sort of thing though, lots of copies around in the UK. But a great memory jerker. 1
Scal Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Sorry to pull you up......it is utter tosh.....however, each unto his own.
Pete S Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Sorry to pull you up......it is utter tosh.....however, each unto his own. I was thinking I might be mistaken so I just played it. I still like it. I like the original as well.
DeltaSouth Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 i listen to stevie ray vaughn, john lee hooker and other artists such as otis redding. to each their own. i'm always amazed what folks dance to. i grew up dancing to ray charles, clifton chenier and lil bob, at live shows decades ago. thanks for the insights however. it helps. i don't take it personally. i try to offer items that some of you might want. sly was darn good. i've seen him live. since you think it is a crap record, which records have you produced or played on? my intentions are nothing but the best. vinyl rules.
DeltaSouth Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Oh no! It's a FANTASTIC record. Brilliant to dance to and used to sound great at Wigan. Not sure if it's an offers sort of thing though, lots of copies around in the UK. But a great memory jerker. i like sly stone. i play guitar, bass and try to play the piano. if is fun to play along with sly records, on the bass. those guys rock. i'm always amazed how some consumers judge musicians, when they likely can't carry a tune in a bucket.
Scal Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I did once have the SATFS on Columbia; but Les Pommes Frites....come on! Anyway I seem to remember Colin Curtis playing this....... ffs!
DeltaSouth Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) i don't much like french fries. i prefer pototo salad with my gumbo. :^/ as far as musical taste, i manage a record store. i don't have the luxury of letting my personal taste get in the way. a lot of folks purchase beatles records, as an example. too pop for my taste. we have bills to pay. i have to stock items that i don't like. that is a matter of reality. to each their own. i'm just glad i got to see ray charles live in a honky tonk and shake my butt to his music, live. no record can replace that memory. sly and the family stone too. talk about a crazy live show!!

Modernsoulsucks Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 We have this rule that we don't discuss prices on actual ads.I don't think it's helpful to seller to discuss merits either.Both of course can be explored in LAYB.ROD [Forum Moderator]

Oh , and by the way I have fooking bills to pay
DeltaSouth Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) i love soul music. we used to go see irma thomas live in new orleans all the time, decades ago. lee dorsey too. i saw him one decades ago. i'm a huge soul fan. percy sledge used to play in honky tonks around here. (signorelli's) the entry fee was about four bucks or so! i am a record store manager, part of my job is to keep the doors open, so yes, paying the bills is a necessary evil. most of our customers are college students here in the USA. they've "discovered" vinyl. they don't have much "budget". i tend to throw in freebies, to them (in our shop) what i find refreshing, is most new vinyl fans ask me for otis redding or led zeppelin, not snoopwhomever, if you get my drift.
