Chris Jackson---I'll never forget you---still one of my faves now I was told the other week that Shirley Lawson had fetched £450 for a minter : can anyone confirm this to be correct ? Malc Burton

Malc Burton ...The pedant in me feels compelled to point out that 5 of the 19 actual releases on Dave's SC label had been out on UK labels before (101, 102, 105, 111, 117) so 25% of it was a reissue label!

I knew you would pipe up Tony : pedantic sod ........ Hope you are well mate . Malc Burton
Soul-slider Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 The more recent releases on the label did throw up a few surprises...how about Johnny Sayles 'Tell Me (Where I Stand)' on the flip of 'I Can't Get Enough...' never before released on vinyl and a stonker of a tune!! Got to be worth a punt surely?
Dave Pinch Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 as tony rounce says, some releases had been issued on uk labels b4. but all releases were made a couple of years, in some cases 5 or 6 years b4 they came out in the uk. so looking at it that way it was one of the first reissue labels dave sunday chill out. 1st march, horse and groom pub east laith gate doncaster with bri and dave pinches, joe lakin,mick waddington+ guests ian johnson and white markley
NEV Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I was told the other week that Shirley Lawson had fetched £450 for a minter : can anyone confirm this to be correct ? Malc Burton I've always been of the opinion this is rarer and more desirable than the BACKBEAT copy so wouldnt doubt the £450 tag.
Dave Pinch Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) I've always been of the opinion this is rarer and more desirable than the BACKBEAT copy so wouldnt doubt the £450 tag. wouldnt have thought so. i personally have had several soul city copies. only got a backbeat copy at the minute. £200 0n either label but 2 and half years between release dates. guess which came first the big price tag was on JM dave Edited February 9, 2009 by dave pinch
Guest mel brat Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 But are the current 'Soul City' label releases LEGAL?? (I really wanna know)
Cunnie Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 as tony rounce says, some releases had been issued on uk labels b4. but all releases were made a couple of years, in some cases 5 or 6 years b4 they came out in the uk. so looking at it that way it was one of the first reissue labels dave sunday chill out. 1st march, horse and groom pub east laith gate doncaster with bri and dave pinches, joe lakin,mick waddington+ guests ian johnson and white markley Thought that said white malarkey for a minute Dave Back on topic - Was wondering how scarce the Erma Franklin was as had a copy way back in the 70's & moved it on. Took me the best part of 30 years to find another & the copy I bought was the very same copy I sold in the late 70s. Also paid less for it than I sold it for.
dthedrug Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 was soul city records a reissue label? cheers mick [/quoteHI I HAVE COLLECTED UK LABLE SOUL SINCE THE 6ts I PERSONLEY PUT A VALUE OF THESE RECORDS AT 50p EACH I HAVE 2 IN MY COLLECTION TECHNICALLY THEY ARE LAGIT BOOTLEGS AS THE OWNER OF THE MASTER TAPE HAS THE COPYRIGHT AND YOU CAN BE SURE THAT HE AN HIS KIND DONT GIVE A F**K ABOUT THE ARTIST WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO KEEP THE FAITH, ALSO THIS REISSUE SHIT SHOULD BE BANNED FROM EBAY AVOID CRAP AND START COLLECTING ORIGANAL RECORDS DAVE
Philippe Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Soul City also released a few LP's, like the Valentinos/Simm Twins : or the excellent Mighty Sam :
Denbo Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I was wondering, were Gerry & Paul's The Cat Walk / Little Bit Of Soul likely contenders for a Soul City label release? Only, I was given a cassette tape off Dave Godin and both these tracks were on there, along with Chris Jackson's Since There's No Doubt. Edited April 13, 2019 by denbo
