I've been told that they both played it from the LP. But then again

I was only a kid back then in the early 80s, so I can't tell for sure.. :shades:

Still, I've never seen it for sale before or met anyone else with a copy..

I saw it for sale once...on an online list from a dealer in Florida for about $7 or something about 4-5 years ago (?)

You can imagine the fluent French that I spoke to the PC screen as I read the 'sorry, that sold' email :lol: .

How about the Florence Trapp that Wrighty asked about...does your copy make 3 'known' in the UK?

So that'll be 2 known copies in the UK then. Although I'm sure Butch once told me that he knows of several copies. :lol:

It sounded great at the last You Know You Got Soul. I'm sure Wrighty will give it another airing next week :shades:

I've heard a similar "not that rare" story. Propa good floor clearer at northern events though. You see it at a recent Life Line? :D

Strange, seems to pack floors whenever Wrighty plays it out. I do somtimes wonder about people's taste oop norf! :lol:

Nothing's worse than reading: "Sorry, that's sold" :angry: !!

Seriously though, I'm sure there are many copies out there somewhere... But still,

do you know of more than 5 copies in the UK..? Everytime I see it on playlists etc,

it's always from the LP. Prove me wrong and I'll shut up :D The only other good track

(imo) from the Blaster LP ("I wanna get next to you") is the flip of the 45 by the way...

Makes it a nice double-sider :shades::lol:

Seareling & Sam both played Tony Fox off the LP when first spun (circa 1981) as we all did.

Was a couple of years later before I even heard of the 45.

How many folk have-

Len Jewell - She went her way - Mr Wood

It's not an out and out dancer but is a pretty lovely mid tempo crossover mover!

The beat up copy on JM's auction was the third copy i knew about BUT i'm sure there's a few more out there - come on, hands up all who have it?

Cheers

Hey thats a good record !! ... but i saw a box load soulbowl 1984 !! Silver grey colour ?

Narr a few more than 5 .. Ian

Florence Trapp: is a hard record, would think there are about 6 copies around in the UK. I have one, Butch, Wrighty, Robin's old copy, and I'm sure a couple of other people have mention it to me. So 6 copies isn't dog rare!!!!!!!!!

There are more copies around of The Del Larks & Robby Lawson, so I would say it's dog rare. Also with the level of record hunting that has gone on in the last 10 years and only that many have surfaced, it's rare. Did I say it's rare, amoungst the best of the Detroit collectors, in Detroit I only know of one copy. It's rare.

Nowhere near the beginnings of a list my friend.....or are we just limiting it to "Trophy records" :ohmy:

....What about the Chi Heat stuff - 3 records all pretty rare.

Mine came from Soul Bowl, £5.00 in 1984 I think. Label is M&E, New York. Didn't think it was that rare, but a lot of things that John had at that time in reasonable quantity never turned up as we thought they might. "Flight" for instance.

I've never said it was'nt rare Simon. I always had a feeling it was a real rarity. I did pay either £15 or £20 for it - off Guy H. after one of his U.S. trips.

Sold it to Steve Kilgour late '80's and repented at leisure.....

Nice track! Thanks for sharing yes.gif

Well I never............Reo Lane a Rare Record. I think I sold this to a local (to me) guy

by the name of John Warner in the early Eighties, along with stuff like Essex IV.

Hearing it again now it sounds great. Also recently heard Gorgeous George on Homark

.........Strange book, another one JW had off me. Thanks for posting the sound file. Have

you a sound file of Don & Debbie on Amos.

Regards for the season, Ritchie Andrew.

Reo Lane sounds like Ricky Lance after being a bit creative with the spelling of his name...could be wrong but he sounds like Lance moonlightling on Bren.

Ahh Ok Robin .. at least I got the price right shhh.gif

I think Andy Witmore has one doesn't he? If that's the one I didn't think much of it personalyl. Bit wishy washy crossoverish for me. Or is that a different record?

He seemed to think he had the only copy, if I remember rightly, it was pretty late in the night, like 8am and down wind of a few vodkas. unsure.gif

They got three different ones on this label. Andy's probably not referring to "Come on down" that was also released on solid center Upsetters label. Can't remember the title of the rarest one, saw it on eBay for around $350 think Butch bought it.

Do you have a sound clip of Sonic Explosion? Think

someone played it at the Lifeline Weekender earlier this

year, if I'm not mistaken?? :rolleyes:

How about Ice "Reality" for your list? Should be pretty hard whistling.gif

Christian, PM me with your email and I'll sort you out with a mp3!

Ice deffo for the list but would like to remove Al Alonzo and Paradise whistling.gif

Pretty sure Micheal Smith is not ultra rare ..I got one at Soul bowl £15... 1980's and John had a few Dave thumbsup.gif

How about Horizon " Give it up " Shine Records ?

What about C Coulter, I thought there wernt many of those?

Glenda Mcloud, there are only three real copies that seem to have surfaced

I did think of adding these , but Dave Thorley said he turned some more up( Glenda Mc's) on here .. and it seems theres at least a handfull of C.Coulters , ( 2 of my wants too for a while)

And hands up whose got a Ronnie Barnes on Hughes .. come on there must be another one ph34r.gif my type of record thumbsup.gif

Been curious to hear this for quite some time, anybody with a mp3?

Ricky sure sounds different on the "Give me your love" - he totally disregardes the Barry White thing he had going.
