No it's horrible, messy, too fast. But if you want a copy you might just about find the one that the Stafford boys pressed in the 80's, has Donald Jenkins on the other side, actually they either pressed it as Little Jean or Jimmy Raye or something like that, the label is Maf(mafia)Mon(monster)

It's perfection. Totally dancable as well. Probably the one record i would sell my children to own. If you're reading this Butch they are four years old, don't each much and can be trained to carry your record boxes... :rolleyes:

ahh salmon, spoke to tim last week about burnley and we will be at the one after this one ....remind me of the date again. you will recognise me mate, still young and good looking :yes: . oh and a great dancer still :)

Considering the quality and the rarity (2-3 known?) this is the most desiderable 45 on the planet for me.

Keb did play it, but I'm pretty sure Pat Brady spun it before Keb as "Jimmy Raye - I'm The Only One",

P.S. Whilst the World around us is crumbling to shit, thank God we can absorb, and discuss bits of trivia like this!

dunno how anyone can call this messy and horrible! true brilliance and well worth every penny, prob on most of the soul / mod scenes wish lists (more like dream lists)!! its in my top ten that 4 sure :thumbsup:

american collector and dealer nancy yahiro has one, or at least she had one until a couple of years ago.

thanx god she moved to italy a few years back, otherwise i wouldn't have had the chance to hear it played out (before JT actually did :lol: )!

hi des your memories going keb played it first covered as jimmy raye " im the only one "first played 1984 stafford remember it well it was the third record i ever heard at stafford i also brought it of keb when he sold it truley awesome record :thumbup:

Who owns this one?

Don't want to be tooooo "Anal" about this, and yes Pat Brady did play "Heartbreakin' Time".................but he did play Little John "Just Wait & See". From edition 4 of "Midnite Express" this is part of a review of records Pat listed in Black Echoes on 22/01/83 (prior to Keb D.J.'ing at Stafford)

"JIMMY RAYE - I'M THE ONLY ONE"

The title is a bit dubious, and judging by the number of times it's repeated, it is probably "True True Love"

I spoke to Keb last night, he said Pat only played it a couple of times and he just had to have it, so he moved in. He remembers paying Pat a lot of money for it.

Hi Des,

Hope you're well mate. I can confirm that Keb did cover it up as "I'm The Only One" by Jimmy Raye, and was played around Sept - Dec 1984. For a month or two, Keb actually used it as the starter record for his spots!

At the time, and for a good few years after, it was thought to be a one-off. Strange how the only two known releases on GoGate are unbelievably rare!
