Some Help With A Few Songs, Please

Posted May 30, 200817 yr

There are a few tunes that I remember an older cousin having in about '71/'72 which I've been looking for recently on 45s, but with no luck. These are:

The Heptones - Hyprocrite

Clancy Eccles - Kingston Town

The Eternals - Queen Of The Minstrels

I know absolutely nothing about the reggae collectors scene, so are the above hard to find on original 45s? Does anyone know where I can find copies if they aren't too scarce? I've seen copies of Hypocrite on eBay for £2.50 and £2.99, but these are either reissues or are listed with the title Time Will Tell and the description: "STUDIO ONE NEXT CUT OF THE HEPTONES CLASSIC 'HYPOCRITE'" - what does "next cut" mean in this context?

Thanks in advance.

Kingston Town is actually by Lord Creator and is on the B side of a Clancy Eccles tune. £10 tops.

Queen Of The Minstrels, I did have this on blue UK Coxsone but had to sell it, haven't seen one since but would have thought it would be about £80. Easily available as a Studio One repress though for about a fiver.

Thank you both - I look for them every now and again on eBay, so I must keep missing Kingston Town when it crops up. There's a Queen Of The Minstrels on Studio 1 on eBay on buy-it-now for £9.99, but it's just in Good condition, so I'll have a search for one of the cheap represses.

And now that I know to look for Lord Creator I've found a few of them. It's so easy when you know what you're doing...

suggest you do an e bay search then it will notify you when copys come up
