Toodarnsoulful Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 always loved the vocals on this, screams it out!... does anyone play it now? I played it in Belfast about 45 months ago and filled the floor with a lot of great response with people saying how great it was to hear it after such a long time....

Guest biggray1 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 My Memory reminds me of the top tunes played at the time of the Jobel Orch release..some top stuff to be had at that period ie Anderson Bros..Imperial wonders...Oscar Perry...Skull Snaps..to name a few..them was the days when The new york sound was very prolific.Also a lot of funky tracks was accepted by the Northern fraternity..Shame its not like it today.

Sunnysoul Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 What's intriguing about this record is that it is generally known that there were two issues of this record , one with producer Louis Ramirez credited (on the first issue) and then without his credits on the second issue. I have been told that the second issue is a legitimate one, issued by the company shortly after the first, due to demand in New York discos ... and that it was not a bootleg emanating from the northern scene in the UK. Anyone ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 It was big at Cleethorpes WG, along with Black Soul, Cathedrals, Out of my mind, etc. 1976. Come out on UK issue eventually (Pye I think, I had a demo). USA original issues were easy enough to find then, but I suppose now they are more than a fiver. Used to love the 'orchestra de salsa' bit after Jobell. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ed Following on from my original post about who played it first , I had an e-mail this morning , confirming it was first played at The Mecca ,after being given to IL & CC ..... As to exactly who was the one to air it first , it is more likely to have been IL than CC .... Malc Burton Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I seem to recall that one K. Roberts was somehow involved in the distribution of initial copies, but I wouldn't like to state that with 100% certainty.

spot Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) Defo Mecca first Malc, I remember it being played there as new release & I think it was Mr Levine's play but I'm sure both ended up playing it because I seem to remember Mr Levine had a short attention span for titles, once he'd broke it & made it big it was onto the next. Remember him playing Sidney Barnes - "I hurt on the other side" & asking him to play when we went 2 weeks later, his reply was "I'll play it when I'm ready", "when will that be" say's I? "At least 6 more weeks" say he!! Always an agreeable chap our Ian!! Anyway it went on to become MASSIVE at Cleethorpes, still an excellent tune that should get more plays. Also talking of good new releases I was reading through some Blues & Souls from 1974 & in each copy there must be 2 or 3 new releases that are big money now & at the time they were 85p each, including Ultimates, Ace spectrum(I know it's not big money, but you get the idea). O happy days, if only we'd have known. Take care, Spot. Edited August 24, 2007 by spot Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stubbsy Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Jobell Orchestra - great tune, bought one earlier this year. If I recall paid about £30 for a second issue. A first issue for sale on here for £75 recently. No doubt reflects increase in prices generally from those quoted in previous posts which were back in 2007!

Kev will do Tony 😀 Good memory....I brought it to the UK in 1975 on behalf of my friend Morty Craft who released it on JAN(his girlfriend) who we called 'Red' due to her flowing barnett! I hooked Morty together with Pye for a U.K. Release. As for the first copies......considering I brought 25 back initially, I can't remember who I gave it to. The Mecca ran with it immediately and Cleethorpes too. Glad there's interest some 42 years later. Best to all. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
