Yourbiggestfan Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Hello Soul Source, I would appreciate any value guidance on a VG copy of Jimmy Spencer - Worth the the trip on Jay-Tone JT-821. The disc plays well with the usual pop clicks of a VG 45. Thanks in advance, D.
Ficklefingers Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Hi @Yourbiggestfan Thanks for posting, as I wasn't aware of this track on the label - in fact I've only seen three releases on the label and, as this isn't one of them, I apologise for not being able to assist in answering your question.. But was wondering if you are able to post sound clips of both sides at all please ?? As I can't seem to locate them anywhere and would love to learn how this sounds Appreciate any assistance, and hope you manage to find a value.. It's certainly an obscure and difficult 45 to find Edited July 10, 2020 by Ficklefingers spelling
Yourbiggestfan Posted July 10, 2020 Author Posted July 10, 2020 Hi FF, thanks for the response. I think this was picked up in Ohio about 10 years back, I did see a cracked copy go through ebay earlier in the year but that's about it. Most of our vinyl collection has been sold over a period of years but this and a few others (nothing significant) were left over. Anyway here's your sound files https://www.mediafire.com/file/0nash52figes9z3/JIMMY_SPENCER%7EWORTH_THE_TRIP_%2B10.mp3/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/aditlcszef7jbrt/JIMMY_SPENCER%7EMAMMY.mp3/file

And obviously John Tee under a pseudonym for whatever reason - which I think is a bit bizarre given it's his own label.. The strange world of record collecting lol If you are looking to sell, and at a price I would be happy with, I would definitely be interested.. Regardless, I REALLY appreciate you giving us the opportunity to both see and hear this 45 - and part of what makes this site the wonderful fountain of knowledge that it is.. always something new to find out 1
Yourbiggestfan Posted July 11, 2020 Author Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I'd always thought it was this Jimmy Spencer https://www.jimmyspencer-nightspen.com/allaboutjimmy.htm but your probably right about it being JT. No worries on the sound files, it's a pleasure I wanted to sell this 45 so feel free, to make an offer, we're in Leicester and used to trade on here as okehdokeh for a few years previously so hopefully someone can confirm we are legit and won't rip you off as a fly in seller. As a gesture 15% of the sale will be donated to Soul-Source if that's ok with Mike?? Thanks, D. Edited July 11, 2020 by Yourbiggestfan

Thanks, D. thanks for the offer, though another maybe easier way to support the site is by taking out a 'mint' subscription https://www.soul-source.co.uk/subscriptions/ a sub offers ebay advert posting and google advert free browsing of soul source

I have to admit there are many similarities in the the voices of both Jimmy Spencer & John Tee - and that would answer my query as to why John Tee would record under an alias on his own label.. That said, the clips of Jimmy I can find are all from recordings released in the 2000's so difficult to make a direct comparison to the John Tee releases on Jay-Tone.. And on the surface I can't find any references that would connect the two I think a bit more digging around is in order.. It would be more than uncanny, I think, if both these guys voices and styles are not one and the same person, but that's not to say they could, actually, be different artists entirely.. Damn !! I NEED to know more !! lol I'll pm you to discuss a potential purchase..
