This is one of those tunes thats tougher to locate than their hits but far from difficult......remember this being played a bit around London in the early 90s and have always sold it as a nice cheapie.......

A tenner tops :yes::lol::lol:

Can't imagine that this is all that rare at all, really. Probably just something that most ebay sellers would think of as too 'common' to list.

But like any record, the minute you start looking for one, copies that ARE out there seem to vanish into the ether...

AGREE WITH ALL ABOVE POSTS, EXELLENT TRACK PROBABLY ONE OF THEIR MORE OBSCURE 45'S THAN RARE. JM LISTED ONE @50 QUID SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, DEMO @ 75 QUID. TRUE IT IS ON A GERMAN COPY AS WELL, I HAVE A GERMAN ATLANTIC WHITE PROMO COPY WITH PIC SLEEVE.

BEST, BRI.

Surely the rarest Spinners 45 is "That's What Girls Are Made For" on UK Columbia.

A proper collectors item.

Sean

...I couldn't agree more, mate. That probably sold about 8 copies in the UK ,when it came out in 1961.

I don't think people could or should call any 1970s UK single by a high-profile soul act 'rare' - I personally doubt that it's any more 'rare' than any of the other Spinners Atlantics that didn't hit the UK Top 40, such as 'I'm Coming Home' or 'Mighty Love'....

Interesting that you mention "I'm Coming Home" Tony.

Well recall Frank Elson plugging that particular 45 as a 'Future Northern Monster'.

Maybe next year eh?

nice one, thanks Richard :P not many of them 2 or 3 pound one's around then :wave:

...Not around Pat's site, obviously laugh.gif

'Fraid this sounds like a potential "Brothers"/"Brown Sugar"/"Party Time Man" to me i.e a ten quid tune that will be briefly hoisted into the realms of rarity by a bit of 'panic buying'...

"I´ve Got To Make It On My Own" is the closing track (#8) on the Spinners´ 3rd Atlantic album New And Improved.

This is of course an original album, not an improved version of older material.

The album was released in December of 1974, thus many people wrongly believe that is was out in 1975,

you can spot this error on some well-respected soul sites on the Internet.

As far as I know "Living A Little, Laughing A Little" was the first single pulled from the album,

although radio may have featured the Dionne Warwick duet "Then Came You" prior to that.

In 1995 the album was released in CD format by Rhino, in their Atlantic/Atco remasters series.

I know that CD is not a preferred format for people who love to collect 45s :P

but the CD does contain a leaflet of some 6 pages of info on the group and the recording of the album,

and that may be of interest to some.

i thought uk tmg-514 "sweet thing",credited as the spinners was worth a couple of hundred pounds as a stock copy im sure these copys were withdrawn due to the irish folk group the spinners not liking motown nicking there name,plus "sweet thing" is a proper detroit spinners record !!! imo...soulie55... :Pwhistling.gif:wave:

UK only mellow.gif -----------dog rare :D -----------you wont find one easily :D ......if at all no.gif ..........still need a price? ohmy.gif

come on where are all the UK collectors huh.gif .........or is it to rare for them :lol:

Hello,

It's nice but it isn't really one of The Spinners' better tracks from that period. On the other hand, the 'A' side "Living Just A Little..." is one of my favourites.

Although it wasn't a big chart hit it got heavy radio play as a new release - as did all Spinners things from that time - and to say it's rare is just a bit over the top.

No i don't think this is rare at all around £10 - £20 but i always thought What More Could a Boy Ask For is much rarer for the Spinners. It's one of my fav tracks by them and found only on an LP unless others have a single of it.
