Guest maestro Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Does anybody know the story about a 45 by Benchmark - "Surf, Sand a nd Sun" / "Hold on, I'm Coming" on New Hope Records? Any idea of the value?
Pga1 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Hiya. No expert by a long long way, plenty of folk on here who are. The hold on side is a well known classic by Sam & dave, Aretha etc and the other side has similar titles - surf , sand & sunshine or similar. Seems like an obscure one, what does it sound like ? Hope it's not got a long intro. I see the surf side is written by the sound engineer of the hold on side , diff productions on either side etc. not got a clue but think chuck eatmon sounds wrong, ( could be Scotsman telling someone to eat chicken or add your own crap joke about eating disorders, sorry ) as I said at top, someone will know. Cheers
Guest maestro Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 the hold on i'm comin' side is a raw, kinda funky version of the classic. the surf, sand and sun side has more of a northern soul sound but the vocals are low. It would be better if the vocals on the b-side were cut and or mixed more like hold on, i'm comin'. I'll try to get a sound clip up soon.
