Guest gibber Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Are you thinking of jimmy ruffins Thats the one i think. sound bite anyone
Dave Rimmer Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Thats the one i think. sound bite anyone I'd have thought more likely to be Tommy Frontera
Guest in town Mikey Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I'd have thought more likely to be Tommy Frontera Impossible Dave. He said it was pants, and Tommy F is a cracker OF TOPIC BTW Frontera is also a really nice Spansih restraunt in Charlotte Street, nearest tube Warren Street. I recommend it highly.
TheBigO Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 It has to be Tommy Frontera as Dave so righty says, huge in the 80's and a tip top toon that doesn't get heard out much these days (bit like me but thats another long and boring story!!!) Niping out right now but go to soulclub.org and theres the track for you.

Thought you were being a little harsh on Jimmy Ruffins leading lady track but until you had heard it you wouldnt have known ` great tune glad you sorted it out
Guest gibber Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Thought you were being a little harsh on Jimmy Ruffins leading lady track but until you had heard it you wouldnt have known ` great tune glad you sorted it out Thanks for the sound bite . like you say nice tune. Thanks for the replies.
Simsy Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Top tune indeed love the clapping from start to finish. Picked a copy up the other week (thanks to Dave Thorley) £60.00 Mikey did you sell your copy in the end? How much? (If you don't mind me asking). And how was the run in?

Guest in town Mikey Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) No I kept it Ian. I would rather eat beans on toast for a month, than let Tommy go for £60. You got a good price there. Edited April 29, 2007 by in town Mikey

Yeah that's why I arxed about the run in, as it's a vg plusser but that endearing sssssssssss at the start is all part of it. Think JM had a mint one for 200.
Simon T Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Yeah that's why I arxed about the run in, as it's a vg plusser but that endearing sssssssssss at the start is all part of it. Think JM had a mint one for 200. Mint copies will probably quite hard to find. I met a record dealer in the US who was in high school at the time in Detroit and apparently it was a local 'hit' because they would buy it and give it to their girlfirends, who either binned it or played it to death!
Len Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Yes.... sure this was played at Silk last Saturday...forgotten just how good and fresh it sounds.......Delxx Yep sure was played at SILKS Del...Plug...Plug...Plug... ...Great tune!!! Laters, Len.
Guest nubes Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Yep sure was played at SILKS Del...Plug...Plug...Plug... ...Great tune!!! Laters, Len. Delxxxxx
Tabs Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Yep sure was played at SILKS Del...Plug...Plug...Plug... ...Great tune!!! Laters, Len. And Len's too shy to say it was him who played it!
Len Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 And Len's too shy to say it was him who played it! ...Well 'O.K' Since you mentioned it!!! - See some of you at The Pemberton Centre next Sat (Hopefully!!!) I'll give it another spin...Remind me...What a tune aye?!!! - Pure Class...

Not totally true, it may have been given by many boyfriends, but... all the copies I had (20+) in the 80's were all unplayed store stock
Simon T Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Not totally true, it may have been given by many boyfriends, but... all the copies I had (20+) in the 80's were all unplayed store stock Where in my post did I state that every copy was sold? Sold to a high school kid who gave it to their girlfriend, who in one way or another caused the record to become in a less that mint state twenty years + later when you found them?
Hitsville Chalky Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Fantastic track played it the other week at sean morgans soul night in stafford...... i noticed shute singing his head off to it.
Guest gibber Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Just of interest how much a copy would have sold for in the 80s? My so called mate at the time tried to swap 15 of my records without me knowing( nothing rare just a few demos and issues, Bobby Womack home is, The Barons, Peggy March green , Patti & The emblems, Larraine Chandler, just to name a few) for a copy . :angry: No deal cash only. That was another reason why I was not very fond of this track in the 80s. Edited May 3, 2007 by gibber
Pete S Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) I've got a copy of this for sale if anyones interested. Looks like it was given to a high school sweetheart though (but plays great) £75 Edited May 3, 2007 by Pete-S
Simsy Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 My copy is not in quite so nice nick as the above and unlike the above it's not signed by the great man himself .. Detroit's finest Iti soul singer!
Pete S Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Look at that label design - anyone else have a Spirograph when they were a kid?
Gene-r Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I only know one other release on the label: "I'll Get Even With You" by Kris Peterson. May be the same girl who did "Just As Much", but it's clear she modelled herself on Connie Francis! Label probably ran for a shrt period during 1961.
