Steve G Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Two hard and great PIR tracks: Carolyn Crawford - You move, you lose - monster dancer Ebonys - Do you like the way I love you - non lp goodie How rare is the Carolyn Crawford? Harder ones include....off the top of my head Also Brockington Sisters "Stretch out" (TSOP) a great little non hit McFadden & Whitehead "Ain't no stopping us now" the sports versions on TSOP Issues of "Hey baby" by Anthony White
Dave Thorley Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) Also, different City related demo's of 'Clean up the ghetto'. As part of the promotion of this tune Philly Inter put out a bunch of demo's for major citys. On the intro instead of "I was in New York City the other day" Lou sings I was in Detroit or Washington etc. Not sure how many versions they put out in total, maybe someone else can say. I have about four versions somewhere. Edited January 29, 2007 by Dave Thorley

Another great choon but I don't know if it's rare is Silk "I can't stop turning you on" The "Let's Cleean Up The Ghetto" mixes I have St Louis & Miami

jocko Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Exists on issue Baz! two hard 45 releases by Archie Bell & the Drells: "Old people" "Where will you go when the party's over" Do you know if Old People came out on WD or is just issue?
Karlm Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Do you know if Old People came out on WD or is just issue? both!

BAZ A. Good call Baz, great vocals and good uptempo dancer. I have another one as well, It Takes Two To Make One, more funky and mainstream but great vocals, not as good as the other two. Cmon Ms Rachel can see a Philly International monday coming on!
jocko Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 both! Okay does anyone a WD for sale for reasonable price??
Karlm Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 How rare is the Carolyn Crawford? Not sure.. I've found three copies since I started looking for it about a year ago when I re-newed my interest for the philly sound. It seems to be pretty much unknown despite being re-issued on Pir 12" a few years ago. I have a feeling it's rarer than issues of Anthony White actually + it's an absolute killer so price should raise quickly once more known.

Yes think she has 3 PIR 45's in total. There was another thread on here discussing the possibility of unreleased PIR stuff by her? Jocko - Steve Plumb had W/D "Old people" on his website @ £25 but I think it sold?
Guest Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ANy cheap Philly WD's for sale I am always interested as for some crazy reason I have loosely collected them over years. Cheers Jock Jock, If you drop me a PM with the WDs you are looking for then the next time I go to my storage space I'll have a look for you. Got a pile of PIR stuff down there that I haven't sorted through in ages...might be able to help you out on some. Adam.

I know Ian Levine was saying it was very rare because Caroline didn't know it came out. I have two copies, both issues.
jocko Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I know Ian Levine was saying it was very rare because Caroline didn't know it came out. I have two copies, both issues. Probably a silly question, given your reputation for hoarding vinyl , is one for sale? Although given above comment if so may be a bit rich for me, but if so PM and we can discuss. Cheers Jock
Guest mobbsy Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 i have a copy of cooling out Jerry Butler on usa PIR 12 inch any value???

BAZ A.
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Here's one of my favourite PIR rarities. Never seen an issue, or the LP it advertises, anyone out there have either? Anyone doubting its relationship to PIR need only look at the address around the bottom of the label (or hear the record!) TONE

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ...and here's another: ...my favourite HM and the Bs dancer -only issued on 45 in Jamaica, available everywhere else in the world on the "Wake Up Everybody" LP.... TONE
Val (Chunky) Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 here's a very nice acetate from the label great record but it only credits the Blue Notes
Steve Plumb Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Jocko - Steve Plumb had W/D "Old people" on his website @ £25 but I think it sold? Yep, i had two mint copies - i updated the site last week and they went in the first couple of hours!!!!! It's on the 'Let's clean up the ghetto' LP too if anyone who wants it didn't know that? It's a longer mix too! Cheers Steve
Girthdevon Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Issues of "Hey baby" by Anthony White And issues of his "I'm So Much In Love With You" which have "Yes You Need Love" on the flip - rarer than "Hey Baby" I think. Girf
Pete S Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ANy cheap Philly WD's for sale I am always interested as for some crazy reason I have loosely collected them over years. Cheers Jock I've got a handful, if/when I get chance I'll dig em out and you can have them for nothing, no use to me
Steve Plumb Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I just checked mines and it says was in "Baltimore the other day" 5 and counting then, any smaller obscure cities anyone know about? Pretty sure that chap who does occasional Philly Shows on Solar (forgot your name apologies as know you are on here ) had discussion with Steve P about this. Cheers Jock Yep, it was Neil Forbes...................I was lucky enough to pick up mulitple copies of 7 or 8 different US 45 edits of 'Let's clean up the ghetto', so when i saw he was doing a Philly Int Special, i sent him a pack of each edit! Since then he has picked up a further 3...........................I'll list all the ones i have and i'll contact him for the extra ones he's picked up and we'll all become LCUTG anoraks Cheers Steve
Girthdevon Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ...and here's another: ...my favourite HM and the Bs dancer -only issued on 45 in Jamaica, available everywhere else in the world on the "Wake Up Everybody" LP....

TONE What a coincidence Mr Rounce! After Sam's little Philly duet on Friday, me and Barry Maleady were talking about playing this 'LP only' cut for a change...........then someone comes along with a Jamaican copy I could have done with this for me write up in the last Shades of Soul too!!!! btw Great to finally meet you at The Orwell Cheers Steve

The bonus here, BTW, is that the other side is the full-length version of "Don't Leave Me This Way", rather than the faded out version that was on the UK 45. TONE
Nocker Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Lets not forget Billy Paul, what a voice. I have been plugging away with a midtempo dancer "The Whole Towns Talking" for ages, britsh issue. Finally got someone to dance to it at Denton Brithish Legion last friday. Great track. People mistake it for the Teddy P track "The whole towns laughing".. Cheers John

Soul Shrews Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 No, it was on a single too - don't have the number to hand, unfortunately. TONE Its ZS9 3736 1979 release says from the album ''Best Of Billy Paul" on my(promo) copy Cheers Paul
Karlm Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 No, it was on a single too - don't have the number to hand, unfortunately. TONE Thanks for the info! We might need to add this to the rare list - found no info on the net of a 45 when I looked before. Found a record number now - 3736. One more rare on 45, I long thought this was LP only: Jones Girls "This feeling's killing me" 45 disco here, you people in the know might be able to help to fill the gaps? For instance neither the mentioned Jones Girls nor the Billy Paul is included. https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/pir.htm
Soul Shrews Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Hi all Can anyone give me a run down on any rarer Philadephia International, TSOP and Golden Fleece sides. Don't think I've ever heard anything on the Golden Fleece label, are any there any good releases at all?? Cheers Richard Try Robert Upchurch "The Devil Made Me Do It" on Golden Fleece Ken put a nice Love Committee Golden Fleece track up a couple of months ago, sounded good Cheers Paul

Cheers Paul
Steve G Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I'm glad you beat me to the George Wilson Stang 'shelf-filler' - at least I can eat this month, having not had to buy it TONE Shelf filler???? :angry: It's wonderful - not the side Sammy boy plays but the other side.
Mark B Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 just got to be more careful is in the book at £50 ,but i have never seen it on the issue and i know i have not seen many about,do many people know this?

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Shelf filler???? :angry: It's wonderful - not the side Sammy boy plays but the other side. It's a private joke, Steve, but you're welcome to share in it It is indeed a wonderful record - both sides - and I would love to own it on a single. I won't tell you how much Sam wanted for his spare copy but there was a mid range single digit and some zeros on the price tag. Luckily for Steve P, Sam was in a trading mood... TONE
