It's quite hard to find as it is only included on the issue copies and goes for about £300.

The actual "a-side" which can be found on both sides of the much cheaper demo copies is another great tune though and well worth checking out.

Think might make a bit moe on auction - was one on ebay about a year ago, but can't remember what it went for.

Great record though - an old Dave Thorly spin from Stafford if memory serves me right

Anybody got any info on Check It Baby?

Label scans, rarity, value etc?

Cheers,

Macca.

Hi, sorry can't scan it for you but pretty rare record on All Platinum, Bob Hinsley used to feature it a few years ago and i've pestered him to sell it to me since then. Books at £400 in the guides Top Class Northern IMHO

thanks sebastian. how much would the mucher cheaper demo be then, approx?

£30-ish should get you one, but probably goes cheaper on eBay as there isn't really any demand for it despite being a superb tune. Have seen it for more though, one copy on Gemm right now for $140.

Didn't they once play a version (the original I think) of "Ton Of Dynamite" by this crew? "Funky Eight Corners" was it?...

I take it that Willie & the mighty Magnificents are the same as

Willie Feaster & His Magnificent Six "i've been waiting" on L Brown

also as "Take My Love" penned by Billy Jones.

This is a very good track well worth looking out for.

If you don't know it Pat Brady as one for sale have a listen.

Get Away From Me Girl - willie & the mighty magnificents - all platinum (lp track)

16024 refosoul

Not sure if this ia available on a 45. But a great track nevertheless. Have just recorded it from the LP "Very Soulfull"

Another from this group to look for and one of two good tracks on the Lp. This track was played at late wigan do's.

Hi Steve

Bought from a mate of mine, Russ Coe, who was a regurlar at Wigan on the Saturday night do's towards the end. He then carried on to go to Stafford, but people seem to have given him the name Rosco in their books!!!

I have never seen the LP for sale and the other track sounds like the same backing to an Edwin Starr single but with different words.

TO BE HONEST CANT'T REALLY SEE THE POINT IN BUYING THE DEMO

CHECK IT BABY IS THE SIDE TO HAVE

Considering that I seldom play out-and-out stompers at home, the demo is fine with me as it has got the best of the two tracks on it. Saying that, I wouldn't mind an issue copy. Will not ever pay £300 for it though.

Jeez, don't mention this 45, won it on ebay late last year, was described as M-, it then turned up with 2 of the biggest warps have ever seen on a 45, like it had been stored for a week on top of a hot pipe, was so bad it was almost comedic, of course the seller had insisted on a cheque not paypal so had a lotttt of fun and games getting the cash back, major grrr

If your interested, I believe 'Check it Baby' was added as a bonus track (with 3 others I think) on a 2000 re-issue of the Willie & the Mighty Magnificents 'On Scene '70'. Should be fairly easy to track down - about a tenner at the time.
