Quinvy Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Can anyone tell me anything about this 45? Who played it first, where and when? I only know it off the "For Millionaires Only" Cd. Never heard it played out, and never seen a copy.
Mick Holdsworth Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I bought one off Sam about 1980/81. Think it ended up going when I sold most of my stuff in the early/mid eighties. Seem to remember it was a vocal to some Inst by Cliff Nobles. Cheers Mick Edited April 7, 2015 by Mick Holdsworth 1
Ted Massey Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 according to Dave welding its on Cliff Nobles album the inst I mean 1
Louise Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Although a rare record it's a very girlie pop tune not like a real manly record like the Gentlemen Four on Wand Dave 2
Quinvy Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Just shows how rare it is when all the knowledgable people on here don't know anything about it.
Chalky Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 As said it has been known about for a long time but it's rare, but pretty poor IMO, just too girlie for some and is it good enough for the dancer floor? It has had plays but nothing what you would consider substantial. Probably not worked for those who have had a copy and they have either moved it on for something better or put it on the shelf.
jocko Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 It was punted on those Manship rare tapes on 80's, general consensus was it was a bit lightweight. I just thought it was pish. In my opinion, obviously,
sir cumference Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Yeah-nothing exciting.Can`t see what the fuss(if any)is about.
Dave Pinch Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) very rare...but a really average record and probably the worst track on that millionaires cd edit;.. just revisited that cd and theres a few more ropey tunes on there..the epitome of rarity over quality and the worst out of the 4 goldmine millionaire cds Edited April 11, 2015 by dave pinch
Iancsloft Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I bought my copy off Rob Thomas arround 1991 sold it to Tim Brown around 99 for £600 use to play it out everywhere i dj.d Wilton Blackburn Tonys ect ect
Jumpinjoan Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 This record is proof in point that rarity does not equate to quality in any way, shape or form. Absolute bobbins lol 3

I went to Welshpool t'other day and went through a village called Pant and I immediately thought of you I nearly stopped, got out and was gonna draw an "S" on the end 1

Pat Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 One on Anglo American site at the mo, not my cup of tea though Alan C.
Simon T Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Just shows how rare it is when all the knowledgable people on here don't know anything about it. I love it. It was written in 1966/7 by Jesse James, he of 'Love is alright' Northern fame. He persuaded the Philadelphia DJ Sonny Hopson to to form the Black Jack label with him. Not only couldn't they get it promoted, but they shortly afterwards had a big local hit with 'Boogaloo Down Broadway' by The Fantastic Johnny C (Corely). I presume the stock of the Gaylettes was then forgotten about and/or trashed. Love is Alright was also released (Cliff Nobles) but after a couple of months radio play got nowhere so they flipped it and 'The Horse' was played, leading to a huge hit that sold 2 million copies. I'd like to think the lead of the Gaylettes was Shirley Turner. 2

NEV Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Are we reviewing this to bring attention to the auction Copy or am I just being my usual cynical self
Quinvy Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Are we reviewing this to bring attention to the auction Copy or am I just being my usual cynical self When did you last see one Nev? A genuinely rare record I think.
NEV Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 When did you last see one Nev? A genuinely rare record I think. Never Phil,but there's an old saying " some records are rare for a reason "
Quinvy Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Never Phil,but there's an old saying " some records are rare for a reason " Totally agree Nev, but can think of a lot more that fit the bill more than this one. But that's personal opinion again.
