Jordirip Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Anyone got this for me please! I'm fed up of looking now. Jordi
Paul-s Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Anyone got this for me please! I'm fed up of looking now. Jordi Took me 2 years even to get a reply Jordi. Good luck mate. Ill keep an eye out. Paul
Steve G Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Anyone got this for me please! I'm fed up of looking now. Jordi Didn't Sam review this one recently? (which means he might be selling his copy!!!) Really nice record and a nice sweet "B" too. Edited July 22, 2008 by Steve G
solidhit Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Didn't Sam review this one recently? (which means he might be selling his copy!!!) Really nice record and a nice sweet "B" too. What's a good price for this now? Remember a sweet soul collector over here paid $700 or $800 several years ago for it.

Never heard Sam play it! (it does have asweet B side though!). Its very hard. JM has had two copies, one of which is with Sam Goldie.(which came from Keb!). I have one and mal has one. Maybe the rest are lying around somewhere. Edited July 22, 2008 by paul-s
Mal C Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Blimey, it went for 700-800 USA?? I've had two copies now, one of which I passed onto paul of course.... Will keep my eye open... Think you got a good deal there paul... Mal.C.
boba Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 What's a good price for this now? Remember a sweet soul collector over here paid $700 or $800 several years ago for it. I have never seen this sell for even close to $700-$800 on ebay, I can't imagine a sweet soul collector paying that. In my opinion the "stay off the moon" side is terrible, the song sounds ok but there are bizarre lyrics about how nixon needs to invest in the country instead of spending money sending people to the moon. It's hard to get past that for me. I've had songs with less stupid lyrics that I think are really good that I've played for northern collectors who got hung up on the lyrics, which makes it surprising that people want this. The sweet soul side is awesome, though.

More relevent, I think, than my babys so fine etc. I have a lot of social ghetto funk/soul and I have them precisely for the lyrics....take ANTONIO CASTRO - WELFARE, very moving lyrics! Or Leroy Clofer - Mr Big Man or Black Reflections - Essence or.........I could go on, but wont.

Or Leroy Clofer - Mr Big Man or Black Reflections - Essence or.........I could go on, but wont. I think I got the president wrong (sorry, probably was just before nixon). It is just a bizarre and sort of not well written song, in my opinion (I don't really have a problem with other people liking it, the lyrics just make it bad for me). I don't actually disagree with the sentiment in the lyrics. I was just commenting that I have played other records that I thought were very good to northern collectors and got the response that they would have liked it if the lyrics were better. I played a political song once that was really good in my opinion and was told that the lyrics were too "twee". Another time I played the professors "little red riding hood" (which I think is a great record) and was told that because the lyrics talked about little red riding hood it was bad... that's just why I'm suprised about this one. To each his own I guess. "Young girl full of charm" is awesome sweet soul anyways. Also, I think I did find a copy for the original poster, if you answer my PM to you I will pursue it. Thanks.

Yet the floor is packed to the F--king PRIMERS singing "you turn me on like a gigantic focett" . To me "sweet Memories" is a twee record, so as you say mate, lyrics are a very personal thing. Mind you, at most soul events the P.A. system is so bad, you cant hear them anyway!
