Stafford Tunes On A Budget

[Guest uroffal]

As I'm bored at work (and logged in instead of lurking like I usually am) I thought it might interesting, in light of the forthcoming Stafford Reunion and the recent thread regarding an event playing records with a value of under 50 pounds only (playlists anyone?), to remember some of the many Stafford spins that, for one reason or another, have a CURRENT value of less than 50 quid.

Three that spring immediately to mind:

The Righteous Brothers - It's Up To You (LP track only: Souled Out Verve).

Anyone remember what this was c/u as? Can be bought for less that a tenner on a good day!

The Citations - (To Win The Race) Keep The Faith (Ballad)

Old Keb spin I think? 20 -25.

The Ebonies - You Got What I Want

Pat Brady's Chandlers c/u (?) - dropped when John Anderson found box loads of 'em if memory serves me correctly. 20 quid usually.

So come on all you bored office workers let's have a few more ...

[Guest in town Mikey]

P W Canon - Beating of my lonely heart £30 (seems to have been £30 for ever)

Tommy Rodgers - Tell it to the wind £20

Miller Sisters - Your love is guaranteed £10-£15

Here's another couple:

Sam Bowie - Think Of The Times We Had Together (Wingate)

A fiver in the '80s and not much more now! (Actually remember seeing one of these on Ebay at 3 quid and it not selling recently!)

Out Of Sights - My Woman's Love (Saru)

30 - 40

Righteous Brothers covered up as Jack Montgomery - Make Your Mind Up by Guy. Play this out frequently and seems to be going down well at last. Bought a copy for a friend for $8 couple of weeks ago. It was Korean and on red vinyl

Citations was Kebs old Magnificent Men cover up. Superb record. Played this at Sheridans few weeks ago and a couple of Guys came up and asked what it was, one even went into the record bar and bought a copy.

Great to hear the Righteous Bros. track is being played again - have always loved it (and thanks for answering that c/u question has bothered me for ... oh ... about 15 years or so!).

Citations is also great as is The Ebonies in my opinion.

Couple of other cheap Stafford spins that have just sprung to mind:

Fabulous Four - If I Knew (Saintmo) £20 - £30

Creations - Footsteps (Zodiac) £40 (oh and I've Got To Find Her on Globe)
