Guest miff Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Dont know about you but i come across more and more 12 inchers of Jazz Funk and Disco 12s then anything else nowadays when looking in car boots etc, and just wondering if theres anything that is worth looking out for I must admit to overlooking this side of Soul Music especally Jazz Funk and my knowledgge on the subject is limited to say the least It seems that a lot of major players had a go at releasing somthing Jazz Funk or Disco at some point, and there must be simalar attemps made by unknown artists on small independents Just like there was in the 60s and 70s What do you think?
Soul Shrews Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 A couple off the top of my head Blair "Night Life" has sold for 200 before now, and Hudson People ''Trip To Your Mind" 50 notes or so ? Plenty more. Happy hunting Cheers Paul
Ian Dewhirst Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 There's TONS of huge Disco and Jazz-Funk Rarities. It's a whole different scene though.... Ian D :) 1

Stuff I didn't know and have passed over several times over the last year or so I pick up nowadays and so on and so on and so on. I'm sure you know as well as I do that learning the ins and outs of a new genre is a very, very long road indeed - think how long it took you to acquire all that knowledge on music that you like and collect - never mind stuff you're not that keen on. They say knowledge is power and the first point of call would be to check completed UK listings of R&B/Soul 12" singles on Ebay on a regular weekly basis to get a feel of what sells and how much for.

Guest Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 If you come across Roy Ayres LP "You Send Me" it's worth buying for the great "Can't You See Me" I don't know much about Jazz/funk but this is what I imagine to be a classic!
Ncfc Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Vitamin E -"Kiss away" on Buddah is worth picking up.Dodgy intro though. 1

You're right it is a classic. Not rare by any means but a fantastic record.

The one above is the late 70's UK 12" which is worth little more than £25, but the U.S original 12" release below still sells for £100 + today

Ncfc Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) https://youtu.be/gp0zEQ74rlg Just gave this a blast in lounge. I have "we had enough" also. Both original 12"s. Black Ivory -"Mainline" sounded ok also and MCB _" I'm the one.you're the one" though i dont think it came out on a 12" Edited November 14, 2015 by NCFC

Happy days Trust your well my friend?
Guest Doctor Bob Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I remember W/Bros UK mail out of 12inch Test Pressings of Lamont Dozier /Ritchie Havens 'Going Back To My Roots' A1 –Richie Havens Going Back To My Roots 5:01 A2 –Lamont Dozier Going Back To My Roots 6:31 B –Lamont Dozier Going Back To My Roots 9:41 Not sure how many of these were pressed, mailed out in 12inch Warners Sleeve with A4 Info sheet taped over the front. White labels. Again can fetch £100+, depending on condition of course. I believe less than 50 copies were pressed / mailed out, so bit of a UK only mail out from Mr Fred Dove back in the day. Definitely a collectors item Cheers Dr Bob J
