Mal C Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) anybody got the Kent sampler, that featured 'Gentry - This Is My Chance'? Might have been 10 or 12", cant remember... also an LP of Detroit stuff that came out in the late 8ts/early 9ts, has a never issued version of I'm Human too by Clifford Binns on it, Carrie LP, that was it, lots of Unissued Detroit Northern.. Gene flogged on on here couple years back for £30... malcolm Edited February 22, 2014 by Mal C
Mal C Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Had on offer on the Kent Sampler, which is five times what I'm prepared to pay for it, so best to make my offer on here, £50.. thats what I'll pay.. and it must be at least VG++ if you dont agree, Pls dont add your comments here, I'd ask you to politely start a new thread... Malcolm Edited February 22, 2014 by Mal C
Guest Ivor Jones Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Yep 90 or possibly 100…..No more. Just came with a plain white label in a plain white cardboard sleeve with a Kent sticker in the top corner with the track listing. Ady didn't have the card sleeves when he gave me mine,just a plain paper sleeve. He said "You'll have to make do" ! …..Good stuff on that too,all Aware/Hotlanta unissued[at the time]…. Good luck Mal, probably a hard piece to track down now….It'll come from a DJ collection now I would have thought, best, Ivor
Mal C Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 that told me then didn't it... I knew it was limited, remember when it came out..but what can you do. happy to put it out there, and if anybody wants to come back with a reasonable price I'm all ears, but its not worth hundreds of pounds, thats my view and I'm sticking to it...we can argue the toss on this 'Other' thread cant we.... ~ Laughs...

Steve G Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Some of those old Kent things are quite tricky to find now….. 1
Dave Rimmer Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 It was 90 copies, I remember Ady telling me it was something to do with having to pay VAT (or BMI / ASCAAP fees) if you produce more than 90 copies. 90 or less copies counts as a promotional tool not a commercial enterprise.
Mark B Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I bought Adeys last copy a quite few years ago and paid over twice that for it sold it about a year ago for many times that so your thoughts on value are way out, but I commend your thinking, but I am afraid you may never get a copy. Good luck mark 1
Jim Elliott Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Unfortunately got to agree with Mark......it's a right bastard to track down:( Jim. 1
John Benson Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 It would be interesting to see a list of who actually has a copy & so maybe work out how many 'known copies' there are. I was fortunate to get a copy at the time it was promoted along with Sean, Kev & Tats as we were doing our Soul Solution event then. We put out tapes on each event and the Art Gentry track was actually my choice for one of them. I forget what the others chose off hand. Good luck in your search!
Peter99 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Is this the one in question: A1 John Edwards (3) — Tin Man A2 Sam Dees — Meet Me Halfway A3 John Edwards (3) — How Can I Go On Without You A4 Sam Dees — Run To Me B1 Little Royal — Little Royal Freeze B2 Little Royal — Keep On Loving B3 Loleatta Holloway — Mrs. So & So's Daughter B4 Art Gentry — This Is My Chance 1

I guess most copies are "lost" nowadays. Tucked away at the back of the collection of some music business promotion guy or offloaded at the local 2nd hand record shop.
Cover-up Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Someone posted a want for this about a month ago. I pointed them to a copy on sale on Discogs for about £30. And did I even get a thank you?!
Popular Post Chris Anderton Posted February 25, 2014 Popular Post Posted February 25, 2014 I guess most copies are "lost" nowadays. Tucked away at the back of the collection of some music business promotion guy or offloaded at the local 2nd hand record shop. Most went to active Djs on the scene at the time (late 90s?) who were playing 70s/Crossover stuff in their sets. I got a copy, took it to my mates that night but left it in the car. When I came out a couple of hours later the car was missing. The car was found several hours later wrapped around a lamp post a couple of miles away. My car was a write off even some of the golf clubs that were in the boot were bent.....I walked up to the car, opened the door and took the record from the back seat, still in mint condition...still have it to this day!

Mike Lofthouse Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Mike Charlton has a copy. Ali Nightingale sold a copy two years ago - I bid more than I have ever bid on a record and was way way short. So if you were offered one for £250 I would say that is an absolute bargain in scheme of things! 2
Benji Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Most went to active Djs on the scene at the time (late 90s?) who were playing 70s/Crossover stuff in their sets. That makes more sense I guess. But 96/97 more likely. I won my own copy in the Shades of Soul competition but got a second copy shortly later from a local funk collector. He got it from Kent but didn't know what to do with it, wasn't funky enough for him.
Dave Fleming Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I have one copy here….. A copy here also....... Dave f.........
Soulaction Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 We have a copy too.I think it came from Mick Smith,or possibly Rod Dearlove,not long after it appeared.When you think how many are tied up in collections,it must make it a real tough one to find these days.Saying that,i think it would be very hard to price if selling.I wonder how it would do on John Manships auction,for instance.Full of great tracks,though a few did get released on 7'' by kent later on.
Dave Rimmer Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I've got one, and I know Wilko from Nottingham has because he was standing next to me when Ady gave us them, although I have no idea if he still has his.
Jez Bishop Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I was given a copy by Ian Clark to promote around the deep south (Surrey) when Iwas DJ-ing* nearly every weekend in the 90's . Not sure if this is helping Mal find a reasonable priced copy though. *drinking Edited February 25, 2014 by jez bishop

Guest Ivor Jones Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I think steam's coming out of his ears by now. I reckon you should bootleg it Ady…...
Peter99 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Was (is) every track unreleased other than the said LP and the later few 45's which were released? Peter
Guest Ivor Jones Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I can't remember now for sure but I seem to remember the John Edwards CD of Aware stuff being out at the time,[might have been just after the vinyl promo though], The Promo LP being an attempt to get more spins from the DJs. Cant remember if the Little Royal, Loleatta Holloway & Art Gentry tracks came out on anything else [CD]…….Tin Man and How Can I Go On Without You[both John Edwards],both came out later on Kent 45. They were my favourites…..Particularly Tin Man….Brilliant !

Tsu Tomatoes Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I've got one. I paid £200 for it a few years ago from a DJ who was given one as a promo on release from Ady
Arthur Fenn Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Timeless album, so many great tracks I still play from it 8-) 1
Hammersoul Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I got mine from Ivor at Prestayn in early 2yk ,best £100 i spend
Steve G Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Think the original distribution was rather ad-hoc, managed to get one for £40 soon after though…..would never sell it. 1
Cover-up Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Looks like i should have bought that copy on Discogs for £30, then. From the sounds of things i did someone rather a large favour...
