Tami Lynn

Posted

I've just seen in sales that Pete has sold that french ep by Tami Lynn. Has anyone got a soundclip of her runaway track from it? It's just that for £350 it must be amazing, because the any other tracks from her I've heard seem to be utter pants!

This is on the Kent, Gettin to Me Cd. Sounds to me like the same backing as runaway from you. Think I'd rather have the £350 myself. :unsure:

I'd rather have the Kiki Dee version, superb imo, prefer the backing on it.

Hope whoever bought it thinks the same! :D

It's obviously from the same session, but much better, IMHO. Go into town for a Lyle & Scott cardie, miss the Tami Lynn! Ahhh cruel world! :D

...but exactly where was it 'going'? Certainly not into any sales boxes or onto any lists that I've been scouring for the last 10 years, in search of a copy, that's for sure...

I'd say that this is at least twice as rare as most records that regularly sell for two or three times the price that Pete sold it for. And if Pete wanted £350.00 for it, you can bet that John M. would have auctioned it for that and more besides.

Didnt Keb play this at Stafford or is my old age playing tricks again

Yes, Keb played it from an Atlantic acetate, which had a "brighter" sound to it than the EP version; think it came from Tim Ashibende

I think its sublime and easily as good as 'I'm Gonna...'

Pretty sure John has auctioned two copies over the last few years? Also been a couple on ebay too....

It's never been that cheap - going back to when I first heard it almost 20 years ago it was over 200 quid. And this one - I doubt if there is a better copy anywhere, seriously. PLus the fact two people offered me £500 quid for it. It's a rare record.

Perhaps you could get it for £150 off the same bloke who sells Skip Jackson's for sixty quid, Pete? laugh.gif

Yeah or the guy who sells Gwen Owens for £700 maybe?

That makes sense now as when i got my copy from a record fair in the eighties it had a duller sound bit like some lp recordings,so you had to muck about with the treble and bass to make it sound brighter.

Sold my copy in one of shiftys auctions about five years got about 300 for it

Do we know which Version was written / Recorded first.

This Version has an "early" feel to it somehow.

Don't get me wrong I like it, Just has a very early 60's sound/style to it,

which makes me wonder if it was first but unreleased until the French E.P.
