ANYONE ELSE SEEN THE JEWEL "PARADISE" ON EBAY

:thumbsup:

Yep - I had the 'watching' email through a few minutes ago and nearly fell off me chair!

Was a BIG Clifton Hall tune - late 70's / early 80's.

Along with others at the time (there seemed to be loads of copies about) hammered it for 6 or 8 months and sold it on for no more than a tenner!

Seems a crazy price... but it was nearly 30 years ago!

What price will it finish at?

:lol:

Searling spin don't think it was covered up as well, just played straight as Jewel.

Thats right. Probably because John Anderson passed out the early copies to a few djs at the same time, so no need to cover it up.

Simon, which week in 1981 did you get it off Soul Bowl for a shiny sixpence.?

(ps Simon I think the jokes got a bit boring, but Cunnie and Brett keep on at me :thumbsup: )

This 45 almost never comes up for sale these days and there is massive demand for it from all corners of the soul/funk collecting fraternity. $640 is about £425... considering who the seller is and how much many of his auctions usually fetch, I actually thought it would go even higher. :wave: Fantastic tune! :thumbsup: And so is "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire. :rolleyes:biggrin.gif

it was one no one wanted to buy when i sold up in 83/84..... sold it for £30 in 87 i think, i have seen it go for £200 mint but over that seems like madness as there was loads of them about ????? but then again sold daybreak for £50 in 83/84 and they have gone for over £1000 at times ........... Dave Thorly played it out about a year ago and still sounded great, if a bit off tune E, W & F at times :thumbsup:

Regardless of all the rhetoric concerning the value and price, it's a great record but it is completely and utterly inspired by Earth Wind and Fire.

And of course no one would dare play an Earth Wind and Fire hit at a rare soul gig, would they ? :thumbsup:

I heard "Happy Feelin'" played once at Thorne, but that was a Mecca classic in it's day (1975), ditto Pockets (1977), which has had a few spins since (and rightly so!).
