Hi!

Today i'm surprised with the selling price on copy of Towanda Barnes that it was sold for 13 GBP . Here

One question for the real collectors.

It's an original copy or a boot ?

Thanks

Stphane

It's a 70s re-issue. Towanda Barnes wasn't bootlegged (as far as I'm aware).

I agree. A genuine release, but as it came out at the time of weekly re-pressings it was assumed by many to be yet another.

Great version of The Ohio Players on Compass.

Towanda Barnes aka Gloria Barnes.

Back in 1974, some DJs who couldn't get hold of the A&M recording played "You Don't Mean It" from the Gloria Barnes LP on Maple - a different cut of the song by the very same singer!

Incidently, I'm only aware of three albums on the Maple label (a subsidiary of All Platinum). All contain cover versions of songs which appear to be better than the original versions!

Hmm, not working :thumbup: , I'll upload it later

Tommy your track is nice ! Great funky edge !

Yes I know that Towanda Barnes is Gloria Barnes i've listened this Lp in mp3 poor quality but You don't mean it it's not the same version that this first cut by her ?

The voice on Ohio Players is Definitively less good for me. Not the same intensity.

Maple is a great label with the Lee Moses jewel "Time & Place" and Gloria Lp .

I never heard others .

I believe there's a Chosen Few Lp but i've never listened .

Not on my sales, but I have a M- W/D of YDMI for £80. It's a beauty.

Towanda on A & M is without doubt the best vesion. As I recall the LP (in '74) was always much harder to find (it's worth finding though) and you only played the Ohio Players if you couldn't get Towanda! Once upon a time the brown issue was just unheard of, but the wdj does look nice.

It was also re-issued in '75 on the silver A & M with the letters as large as the label.

I run out of puff long before the end of it these days!

Regards,

RB

Really? I didn't know that. I only ever heard Colin play the 7" on A&M.

(I think you must mean 'Black MUSIC' mag., as 'Black Echoes' wasn't launched until 1976 - almost two years after Towanda Barnes was first played.)

Yes, I've seen some truly ludicrous prices asked by Continental sellers recently, particularly in France and Italy. What's all that about? Do folk actually PAY these prices over there, or is it a scam? :thumbup:

Really? Well I never! I didn't know that either. It's not half as exciting and dynamic as the A&M version though IMO.

All of them are, never seen a vinyl of this before :rolleyes:

Vinyl issues are certainly possible though, as Jeanette White's "Music" are vinyl aren't they?

There are vinyl and styrene Jeanette Whites, as is the case with a lot of A & M releases. That said, never seen a vinyl 'YDMI' though.

best,
