Guest Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 OK gang - I'm after some help with this one..... C L Blast - What Can I Do - United....... I brought this record over in a bunch of unknown stuff 4 or 5 years ago and plugged away for ages with it, to only limited success. In the last year or so, Robbo has included it in his sets and it's gone bonkers! Northern Soul eh!!? Anyway, I've been asked by a few people if I will part with my copy and, on the basis that Robbo has made it his own, I think I'll let it go. Thing is, I've no idea what to ask for it. Can anyone give me some idea? Does anyone know somebody who is after a copy (preferably someone with more money than sense!! ) who could maybe put 'possible seller' and 'possible buyer' in contact? All help appreciated. Neil Jones Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Solid £20 record. Wilton spin for at least ten years, and not an unknown in these here parts. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

All help appreciated. Neil Jones Hi Neil superb record and played at the Saints Club many years ago, remember vividly Robbo coming up to me and asking "what the F**K was that". Used to be able to pick it up for a fiver as no one really wanted to know it. It has always had the potential to be big record IMHO just needs more DJ's to get behind it. You're right, Robbo always features it, Karl played it last night in the DDA room at Lowton and it filled the floor so maybe £20 - £40 would be fair today but who knows tomorrow.

Chalky Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 This shouldn't be anymore than £20 like Pikey's Dog says but I've seen at £30 and £40. It's a pretty common record and it's had spins for years. Recently got a copy back and played it out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Cheers fellas - It's going on to my current sales list as a 'LATE RUNNER' being as it's Grand National Day. Maybe I should ask a Grand for it..... Thanks again for the info Neil Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Michael Higgins Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 That piano intro! A fist clencher of a record, which is one of the best two types of record that there are. (The other is the type of record that requires that eyes be closed while listening -- examples include Alice Clark "I keep it hid" and Morris Chestnut "Too darn soulful".) I remember Mark Linton used to play CL Blast around about 1988. He was that breed of DJ working in Scotland then that were discerning fans of the music, unlike others around then that just had money to spend and egos to maintain. Time for my pills.

pikeys dog Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Not as far as I'm aware, none of the guides list it and I've never seen one.... i'd like one if it did. No UK releases for C L Blast on Stax - just checked through the listing. "What Can I Do" came out on two different labels on United - more common? Blue issue and rarer? Yellow issue.
