Hi Tony , the story of the Nancy Butts 45 , was that a non northern soul friend of mine was married to the daughter of record producer Eugene Davis , and on one of his holidays to detroit in the mid eightys , he brought back a box of 70-80 copys of i want hold your hand , and 3 copys of joseph webster on crow , and a couple of other bits , these ended up in Carmel records , southend on sea , and i think Rod Dearlove brought what was left . they were not pressed for the uk market , and now seen quite thin on the ground

sadly Eugene davis passed away earlier this year , hope this is of help .

Further on from the 'Nancy Butts on flaming Arrow' thread in All about the soul, & frank's confirmation of how they appeared above, 2 copies of the Exquisites - Just couldn't make it (CROW) have come to light from the same source. I understand one is up for sale via a well known Essex dealer, so possibly gone already. The source still has the other & as a member of the family the funds are going to the family in Detroit (I think).

I just happened to be in that little goldmine, Carmel Records today & the source confirmed the story, having recently returned from the unfortunate job of sorting the effects of a deceased relative.

Anyway, I dont know if anybody is interested in the 45. Unfortunately, wayyyy out of my price range, in JM guide at £1500 (& listening to it on the 'rarest of the rare' page is the only way I am aware of it). Just thought I would put info up here should anybody be interested. Send me a PM & I will pass on the information. I presume it is a good copy, however, that can obviously be confirmed with any interest.

BTW no more Joseph Webster or Nancy Butts were found, or likely to appear in any number in future.

Thanks

Mike

A few interested in the 45

I am just gonna pass on any details of interest on this 45 to the guy to deal. Could you please send me email &/or telephone number if interested. It may be a week or so before I get to see him, so possibly a bit longer to hear back.

Thanks

Mike
