Seeing as no one else has commented...£300-ish...but one possible to pick up cheaper.

Thanks for that, is it a known record? John doesn't have it listed in his book.

Yes, known and has received scene-spins. albeit without ever really breaking through to the masses.

Label is also collected by other non-Soul scenes as well.

A search on here reveals some great info from George.G:

"A good example that explains this is the Shaddows 45 on United Audio. They were a self contained band, mostly students at Harding High School in Warren, Ohio. A man they knew with some cash put up money to finance a recording. The band went to United Audio recording studio in Youngstown and recorded the two songs. The studio arranged the pressing at QCA in Cincinnati and a few weeks after they recorded the songs, the band was sent the 500 or 1000 copies of the record directly. They sold record at a couple local record stores on consignment, their live dances, and at their school(s). The record had the United Audio label that was used by any of the clients who recorded at the studio - including garage bands, gospel, country, pop crooners, polka bands, etc. The records were never sent to distributors or radio stations (except for a couple local stations that had the records hand delivered by the band)."

Strange Im quiet sure he had it for sale year or two back but could be wrong. Amazing record I think

It was listed at £500 in price guide 5, I don't have the latest guide so can't comment, having said that I do know that this one goes through ebay.com for around £100 in reasonable condition so you could drop on a decent copy for a lot less than book price.

Here's a pic of the band. Probably a year or two after the 45. No way this record sells for $300 or 300 quid, the $150-ish price seems to be about right for a nice copy.

Was it not a popular spin in Scotland a couple of years ago? Sure I saw comment to that effect on here a good while back.

Kenny Burrell had a copy which he got from Derek Robertson I think.

I'm selling not buying and never seen a copy on Ebay and certainly would be looking for a lot more than a hundred quid for it!

If you sort them by date you'll notice a trend with the price........appears to have peaked around 2008.

fabulous track, remember either Shifty or Andy Rix playing it on Richard Serlings show before one of those big Ritz allnighters, Ive mentioned this before, but Richard Serling announced it as 'the Shaddows' with two 'D's', for ages I thought two 'D's' was a singer... doh!
