Becket Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 I noticed the above selling on eBay yesterday for $10k. (Carolina-Soul). It is a top sound but one you so rarely hear played out (for me anyway). So it must be rare ? (I deffo know Dave Rimmer & Butch spin it). Can anyone give me a quick "potted history" please. Best regards, Tom. Banbury.
Amsterdam Russ Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Popsike listings for this show just four copies since 2007. The last one sold in 2015 for £2601, which is a bargain compared to yesterday's copy which in GBP went for £8,125.13...
Becket Posted May 23, 2023 Author Posted May 23, 2023 I would be interested in a "when , where , who" please on this. Hope I am not going over "old ground".
Solidsoul Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I do remember in the very early 1980's John Anderson had them on the Soul Bowl list for £10 each, on the section of the list for things he had in quantity. He must have had several copies as they lasted on the list for about 3 weeks! It was known then but not getting a lot of dj plays. I was going to get one but was chasing other things at that time.

Paraboliccurve Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Am I going mad or did Tony Clayton play it at Notts Oddfellows in the 80s?

Davey S Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Yes definitely remember Gary Rushbrooke playing it at Wigan , in fact I think I have it on tape. Dave. 1
Frankie Crocker Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 A massive Dave Rimmer spin in the 90’s and into the Noughties. Rarely turns up for sale, so this copy fetched a nice price in spite of the condition. Quite possibly the least desirable Magnetics rarity but still packs the floor - I’d put the various releases by different groups on Bonnie and Sable ahead of this record but it’s a great sound nonetheless.

Expand Gimme the medium-pace of The Lady In Green anyday. All the Magnetics rarities are floorpackers but when the average age of the dancer is 88, tempo is appealing, especially for the chinstrokers... 2
Paraboliccurve Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 The Sable record is by far the best under this name (appreciate not all the same band) IMO. Wish I hadn't sold my copy. 1
Solidsoul Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 They are all great records! . This is just splitting hairs! I would take any of them. Just enjoy them all! 2

Solidsoul Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Listen to any record ever made, too many times, too much, you will get tired of them! No matter how good they are. That's why I never listen to the classics in the car everyday, it's just wasting them! Joe Tex told the truth when he said "if you eat too much ice cream it will give you a stomach ache, drink too much coffee will keep you wide awake, miss too many payments on your house you won't have anywhere to live, You better believe it baby! The Ambassadors knew the truth when they sang - "I've Had Too Much Of A Good Thing" Edited May 29, 2023 by Solidsoul 1
