Harry Crosby Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 Wasn't it Polydor? Don`t know matt, just wondered as i`m not up on british stuff
Harry Crosby Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 yep,uk polydor-56176 from 1967, Thanks guys very intresting
Guest Matt Male Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Don`t know matt, just wondered as i`m not up on british stuff Sorry. I've definately seen it for sale on Polydor and i think i've seen the label. Pretty sure that was the British issue. Oops someone beat me to it... Edited May 22, 2008 by Matt Male
Chalky Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) mines a US demo and also has a date stamped on it October 16 1967. Maybe Oliver Norman (or is it Norman Oliver as the credits state) was a british singer with a US release? Anyone know owt about him? Edited May 22, 2008 by chalky
Geoff B Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Just recieved a nice shiney black issue of this on reading the credits it says recorded in ENGLAND was there a BRITISH RELEASE of this thanks in advance Hope this helps,great record,played it at Middleton. Very rare on Polydor.
Guest Matt Male Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Hope this helps,great record,played it at Middleton. Very rare on Polydor. It's about £50 mint on Polydor. I don't call that rare. Pink Decca is probably around £30. Edited May 22, 2008 by Matt Male
Anoraks Corner Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 The flipsides are different between the Polydor and Decca, no? I'd say the Decca stock copy is the toughest..unless someone has a Polydor demo?
Chalky Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) It's about £50 mint on Polydor. I don't call that rare. Pink Decca is probably around £30. Decca has risen in price, probably doubled in price since I first started playing it. last one I saw on e-bay was I think over $120. Seems to be plenty of demand for this now and for what is considered a £30 it's not that easy as some other £30 records to come across. See his other on Decca far more often.

Karl, I may have missed you finding out but he was deffo UK as teamed up with Tony Wilson (Originally from Trinidad) (Hot Chocolate) as The Soul Brothers and The Corduroys "This was the duo of Tony Wilson and Norman Oliver. It looks like Shel Talmy had signed them in the hopes that they would develop into "house songwriters" for his Planet label. They placed a few songs before launching separate solo careers (with Oliver changing his name to Oliver Norman). Wilson later founded Hot Chocolate and is probably best known today for co-writing "You Sexy Thing"." Tony mentions on his facebook face that Oliver Norman AKA Norman Oliver has passed away You may wish to contact him as I don't "do" facebook as you know https://www.facebook.com/TONY-Wilson-Musician-151153235046218/ Edited January 7, 2020 by Blackpoolsoul
