Paulette .. Love You Baby

[Soulie80]

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAV'S , WHY DOES IT NOT GET PLAYED, WHEN YOU ASK A DJ TO PLAY IT, THEY EITHER DONT KNOW IT OR HAV'NT GOT IT .. WHATS IT GOING FOR THESE DAYS ?.. & HOW MANY SOULIES DO YOU THINK KNOW IT..

TIME IT WAS REACTIVATED

[Chalky]

£800 + maybe these days. It does get played by the odd DJ. Guys old Patty J & Contacts cover up.

[pikeys dog]

Roger Banks used to play it regularly.

It was hammered a bit a few years ago, so that may be why it's got stuck to the back of DJs boxes.

Ginger as well played it regularly.

[pikeys dog]

hence the hammered bit....

[Prophonics 2029]

Quiet a rare record that's why many a DJ might not play it cause they don't have it.

i've seen a more than a handfull go through eBay over the last 5 years - all to DJs...

Not as rare as some would have you think.

[Prophonics 2029]

I have only seen 1 Pikey.

When Don Gardner played Prestatyn my mate put a bid on cause I was still up North, long before the days of Iphones and Blueberrys.

Superb tune!

Thought it was about £900.. Trying to think where I heard it out last..

[Chalky]

It's played out regular, Lowton, Cleethropes, Wilton and others.....

Last one I saw was 8 or 900. Did JM auction one, Gingers, or was Gingers Derek Allens copy? Did Tim auction one too? There was one up for offers 600 plus on SS last year. Like Joe says more than a handfull through e-bay over the years despite whaty popsike says.

[Prophonics 2029]

Wait till they find a few boxes full then it will be £25.

£800 + maybe these days. It does get played by the odd DJ. Guys old Patty J & Contacts cover up.

Used to get regular plays at Blackburn, Mexborough, Shotts etc late 80s - early 90s via Kitch.

Great record, she does sound like she's munted though

[Kevinkent]

Nice tune!

Shane Cox plays this occasionally - he might have played it at Wilton and I'm certain he played it at our last "Stolen Hours" in Ramsgate.

[Larrymc]

I know who you mean Ted, he may play it Sat nite, buy him a few pints of Pedigree and try again while he's p*ssed.

[Simsy]

It's played out regular, Lowton, Cleethropes, Wilton and others.....

I'm sure it's on the Va Va Voom cd from a couple of NYE's back. Don't know if one of those dude's has it?

Was going to say what happened to Dereks copy Chalky,i know it was a regular spin for him about 97-98 at Awsworth in notts.I thought MIck H had his copy..maybe not

Yes that'd be it..

[Realpeoplesmusic]

Yes that'd be it..

Dudley steve has one i think he got it off ebay? I asked him it he fancied selling it but i didn't realise it went for that kind of money(i could think of much better records to spend that kind of money on), funnilly enough i think he got the hump with me as i've not heard off him since .

big spin for Derek Allen at Alfreton,pisses me of big time when you lot say it was played here it was played there,but never give alfreton any reckognition for having played them. brown sugar - the game is over and gladys kight - i will fight ,to name a few Derek made into east midland monsters via alfreton ,Hence why its on the website click the player https://alfretonsoulclub.homestead.com/ btw Derek didn't own paulette - honest i do in 97/98 jim ,he bought it because he liked the song and it was his wifes name,paula wanted it played at his funeral but mr roberts said he didnt know such a record

but with all due respect Ian, these tracks you mentioned were played here there and everywhere, not just at Alfreton, but before Alfreton as well. Alfreton just one of the many venues in the midlands that these records were played. Paulette had been a big record for years before Derek got it, first via Guy in the mid 80's. And as for Derek I wouldn't associate him really with any one venue as he was DJing here there and everywhere. Anyway it was asked if it was played anywhere these days

BEEN A SPIN UP HERE IN ABERDEEN SINCE LATE 80S.

Beat me to it Chalky. Played all over the shop long, long before Alfreton by Guy then Kitch and I think Dean too. Brown Sugar (both sides) Rock City Modern Night spins wasn't they?

How interesting that Sam spun this at the Palais in 78!

hiya chalky

i'm not saying that derek played them first ,but they was reactivated in the east midlands by him and i am sure he did it at alfreton,how you keeping anyway

john poole sold quite a lot for dereks wife ,last i heard the rest was bought by john manship

[Prophonics 2029]

Just listening to the Notts Palace thing, Interplay went down well the least rare record on the whole tape.

Fail to see why you're pissed off with us not mentioning Alfreton then. Baring in mind that this was broke by Guy at Stafford (or Sam @ the Palais? - difference between broke and played ) and played from mid 80s right up to early 90s at Blackburn, Mexborough, Chesterfield, Shotts, 100 club, Derby Warehouse and Arnold (Notts) all dayers etc etc just a few years before Derek played it at other venues including Alfreton. Just cannot see what your claim for Alfreton is here.

I got it form ebay a few years back..its booked at £1200 now I think? Dudley Steve got it from Phil on here a bit beaten up for £700 ish....that will be the copyt that Chalky is talking about.

'i've seen a more than a handfull go through eBay over the last 5 years - all to DJs...

Not as rare as some would have you think.'

Wonder where all these copies that went through ebay are? What prices did they go for through ebay on average?

Roger had his one on his list for £1000 a while back as well.....

Hi Ian, very popular record for Derek.

I'm good thanks, hope your likewise.

I think it depends on who many fingers you have on your hand, now if your a clock then its 3 copies sold on ebay at tops I bet.

[Corbett80]

whats a handful? 5? 8? 20?

like you say depends on the size of the mitts

Edited July 29, 2008 by mulf

[pikeys dog]

I've been outbid on at least four, never bidding quite enough, because I've seen other copies go through, and not taking into account my watchlist for it expired about two years ago.

That's where I got my 'handfull' from.

The cheapest copy I saw went for just over three hundred - but unfortunately I was completely brassic at the time.

Why can't people accept that some of us are sat scanning eBay constantly, so tend to spot every copy of a record that comes up?

[Corbett80]

So its still a rare record then...we're not in Joe Jama territory yet!

Her other one on Prism is turd, and the flip of 'Love You Babe' is cringingly poor.....

Did she have any involvement with other Barry Dispenza groups/recordings?

I am 99% sure that Paulette and the Cupids on Prism is Jan Bradley. It is not the same Paulette as Paulette on Contact as far as I know. Is there some specific reason you are saying it is the same person besides the name "Paulette"?

A lot of "red Herrings" on this one.

The Prism 1922 release "He'll Wait On Me" is wrote by Jan Bradley

According to often inaccurate R&B indies book. The label is from Dayton Ohio. But it is blantantly a Chicago pressing. R&BI say 1965 release?

My question is: Why would an established artist like Jan Bradley (We have 45s on the shelves under her single artist credit) on Formal & Night Owl etc, etc from 1961/2 her massive hit "Mama Didn't Lie" was 1962. Why the hell would you become "Paulette" 3 years later? Then revert back to Jan Bradley a year later.

Interestingly Jan Bradley doesn't seem to have any 45 releases for the 1965 year?

On playing the Formal 45s and the Prism 45, they are similiar vocally but IMHO not the same vocalist, but styles do change.

I've been let down by R&B indies so many times I'm starting not to trust the info, they do show the "wrong" logo" for the record on Prism.

Some more info is needed on this trivial matter. I always assumed it was the "same" Paulette because how many Paulette's can there be singing Soul from the same city in the same period only using her first name?

Just as confused as when I started, any info gratefully received..

hello mate,any chance of a bit of moonlighting?.......not uncommon is those far off days,just a wild thought?

[Chalky]

Depends how many you've seen in sales boxes, lists, e-bay and other auctions over the years as to how rare you think it is

[Guest]

hello mate,any chance of a bit of moonlighting?.......not uncommon is those far off days,just a wild thought?

The vocal to my ears is different.. Jan Bradley wrote it, and there a similarity in the vocals. That's the only connection I can come up with for Paulette on Prism being Jan Bradley. Moonlighting a possiblity of course, but they soun d to me at least different artists.. arrh, but if she was moonlighting perhaps she disguised her voice..?

There must be a Bio on Jan & even an artist listing Paulette & The Cupids.. perhaps

[Tony Smith]

Jan Bradley released her own version of He'll Wait" on Chess ,completely different recording to Paulette.

I bet you will find that a lot of people are sat scanning for this record on Ebay your self included and there hasn't been one in 2 years unless it was a Buy It Now so you haven missed much .

I have seen more copies of Jo Jamma on Ebay and sales boxes than Paulette unless this is because its a new record, Paulette being such an oldie has had time for all the copies to be found.

Bob will confirm this she is his sister.

All I had to do was look..stupid boy!

I have BOTH Paulette & Jan Bradley in stock, Thanks Tony for pointing this out.

I'm about to play them..

Wait for it.. yep these can't be the same girls.. certainly different vocals & recordings.

I prefer the "Paulette" version! She's a little gritter than Jan.

R&B indies have Paulette as 1965. Jan Bradley Chess #1975 release is 1966. I think Paulette's 45 must be 1966 also, they would have picked up on Jan's recording which was a flipside.

'I've seen more Joe Jamma on ebay (where most of the copies for sale have been) but more Paulette elsewhere, lists, boxes etc.'

What sort of price has it been going for Chalky?

I saw a battered one on Shifty's list a few years back but that went within about three minutes.

can't say I've seen one lately other than more recent auction items but over the years it's price has been from the low hundreds up towards a four figure sum.
