Okay, this is probably exactly the wrong time to be asking but...

...I REALLY WANT A COPY OF THIS RECORD QUITE BADLY NOW!

Lee Fields "Take Me Back" (Angle 3)

Decent price offered, sure these are knocking about in collections. Just a matter of getting them out! Any help VERY much appreciated. PMs please.

TRY THIS ON EBAY.

Hi Joe

Thanks for the link, but that's the wrong record. Got that already!

Any other pointers?

What is the going rate for Lee Fields at the moment ??

Mine was 85p from the front page of Soul Bowl list about 1976 ,what a shame I went and sold it in the 80s :D:D if there are any more copies out there for sale I wouldnt mind buying it back(even at a small profit :thumbsup:laugh.gif:D

didn't it go for about £100 recently on e-bay?.

Itr's not that rare, demand outstripping supply I guess. Soul Bowl had one for ages a few years ago that no one wanted, I eventually got it after about 12 months in the sales box. Now I cannot find it - it's gone the same way as a load of really good records I hid from Soul Sam when he came round last year. I know I hid them away somewhere, just can't find them right now :Dangry.gif

Nope, it's not - but can I find one??? YOU can't even find it, and you've got it!!! If it turns up, and you fancy turning a quick buck on it...

I've been looking for a copy of this for about four years now and still haven't found one.

And now it will be silly money I'd imagine due to its recent exposure.

AAHH!! maybe they are hid in boxes marked "Warning-this record is a two-sider!!",of course not everyone plays t'other side..............

....and of course its been a Butch spin for 18 months(?),but no, its not rare been around since late Mecca.

This was a Peterborough sound I have been semi-reliably informed, and as everyone else has said, cheap and relatively plentiful given that it was not particularly in-demand for ages after that.

Copies have dried up as people have realised A] Butch is playing it and B] It's a great 45.

I have always had a very strong preference for the Tyra's Song side of the record, but of course Take Me Back is ace too.

Couple of things to bear in mind: Tyra's Song is also available on the A&T label without TMB on the reverse; also there is a track on his Let's Talk It Over album which shares the same backing as Take Me Back.

An original of the lp in good nick would still tend to fetch a bit more money than the aforementioned Angle 3 single (sealed copies on Popsike for over $650).

soul on!

Gareth,

that's interesting, I was looking out for a copy as well, but for the flip Tyra's song...

could you give any info on the A&T release, like was it a later press/reissue, price and availability?

lots of questions, I know :P

many thanks in advance,

best,

Stefan

Andy Dyson had a copy on A&T, I can check to see if he's still got it?

that would be great, I even could pick it up from him at soul essence :g:

ah, well, that woul be a bit too long from now, so post...and I would only take it if the topic starter is already sorted or is trictly looking for an angle 3 copy..

any help much appreciated :P

thanks!

Tyra's Song on A&T should be about £30-£40 now, I would guess. Price in the real world for the Angle 3 45 about £150 if you can find someone prepared to part with it.

A lot of the newer Lee Fields records are pretty good also, and are available for the price of a pint. It would be nice to think we can help support the career of someone still doing it.

get me one for £30 and I'll take it......

no spare mate.

  chalky said:

I realise the record market can move fast but a ballpark figure of £30-£40 should be enough to secure a copy of the A&T 45, particularly on ebay or similar auction sites. If it's going for significantly more this must be a relatively recent increase. Bear in mind this release does not feature the in-demand Take Me Back.

I understand Tyra's Song gets played at some clubs in Europe and is quite popular there, but is that enough demand to push the price up so sharply?

Edited by garethx

Both sides were played to critical acclaim at both Abshott & the Newbury Nighters...............luckily its a favourite of mine so hung on to it..............good luck with this, as i think it might turn out to be harder than some seem to think.

What other European clubs play Tyra's song? I've only played it twice at our club (early doors to a crowd of roughly 10 people...).

There was an A&T copy on ebay 1-2 months ago that went for about $200-250. The last two Angle 3 copies sold I know of were £135 and £200.

can someone confirm,,is the A&T issue ,"Take me back"/"tyra's song "?

btw the track on the LP with the same backing might be "Mighty good lovin"?

  KevH said:

NO like Gareth said, it's not. It's just Tyra's song and a ballad flip I've forgot the title of.

Lee Fields' outing on Truth and Soul called 'My World' is the absolute f**kin bomb - and all for a fiver! When this bottle of red has passed through me system I'll soundclip it. Cheers. burp :thumbsup:

Well, thanks everyone for your help and interest. A Soul Sourcer has offered me a copy, bit more than I wanted to spend, but think I'll probably go for it... it's obviously rarer than people think and in demand.

A dealer told me he had a box of a hundred years ago, and he couldn't give them away - where are they all now? :thumbsup:

I quite agree about Mr. Fields recent output - his single on Truth & Soul from last year was absolutely stunning - "My World" b/w "Love Comes And Goes" - two amazing slices of down-tempo deep soul with a beat. If you ever get the chance to see him live with the Dap Kings, jump at the chance - great voice, great entertainer...

Helena,

agree, haven't heard it played out in a club over here in Germany, dunno about other countries..and of course it doesn't mean either it never was played in germany..

first heard it on your soul mix :thumbsup:
