Birder66 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 What's a good price for this tune nowadays? What other cuts are there to this killer backing track? I'm in female vocal mood - Esther Phillips (Just Say goodbye) and Lilian Dupree (Shield around my heart) are going round and round in my head.....

Regards and Happy Christmas - Mark Bicknell. wow, I never knew that. the tobi lark is a detroit record, i wonder what the detroit-chicago connection was or if monique was somehow from detroit.

Stubbsy Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Tobi Lark - Challenge My Love - Topper holds the same backing track as Monique. Great record that mark and the other side "Sweep It Out In The Shed" aint too bad either! As to the original question re Monique, can't say I've seen it listed recently but JM's sez £500 and I'd be suprised if you'd get any change from that for a minter. According to Popsike last one went for $565 last year (US seller) but it was only in VG condition!

Ted Massey Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 "Sweep It Out In The Shed" has seen some well deserved dance floor action over the last 2/3 years even at oldies nights Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tony Smith Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 wow, I never knew that. the tobi lark is a detroit record, i wonder what the detroit-chicago connection was or if monique was somehow from detroit. Also the flip of Monique "Never Let Me Go" utilizes another Topper backing track Dottie & Millie "Nothing In the World", I thought maybe something would have come to light by now, alas not.

Chalky Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 wow, I never knew that. the tobi lark is a detroit record, i wonder what the detroit-chicago connection was or if monique was somehow from detroit. Pretty sure that Dave Hamilton said he didn't know how Monique came to use his backing track. Will have to re-read the kent sleeve notes. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 "Sweep It Out In The Shed" has seen some well deserved dance floor action over the last 2/3 years even at oldies nights It got a fair bit of action back in Allanton as well I think Ted, Alan Walls or Andy Dennison being the likely culprits I seem to remember, am I the only one in liking this side better (despite me playing the other side) due to Monique just being so much better than TL for me.

Will have to re-read the kent sleeve notes. I think you are right Chalky. Joe Moorhouse asked Dave Hamilton about this several years ago and was surprised to learn that he knew nothing about the Monique release nor how his tracks ended up in Chicago. Skulduggery?

Guest Trevski Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Always liked the colored 'un best. One of my most treasured 45's. Paid £500 for a stone minter several years back, would never sell it. Gotta be may fave femme vocal of all time! Anyone ever seen a demo???

Prophonics 2029 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Is there a copy with a duff side? yes this one NEVER LET ME GO / I WOULDN'T BELIEVE Edited December 26, 2008 by Prophonics 2029 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Trevski Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Is there a copy with a duff side? yes this one NEVER LET ME GO / I WOULDN'T BELIEVE True. IYLMSM always has NLMG on the flip, but NLMG also came out with a duff b side! Talking of top class-female vocal-double siders, Monique must be the best, IMHO, but running it a close race has gotta be.. Ruby-Feminine ingenuity/Deceived Dena Barnes-If you ever walk/Who am I? Both stonking girly double sided dynamite! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
