It's on Destination, an old Keb spin from Stafford era. I've not seen it for sale for years, so couldn't guess at it's value. Search Refosoul for Sweet Nothings if you want to hear it.

Great record. :boxing: ...got one off ebay about four years ago for $70...the only copy I'd seen on sale for years

From memory White demo's and is it Blue Issues ? Chased it for years after Stafford. Got fed up of not seeing one for sale when I had the money in close to twenty years, and finally paid either 100 or 150 pounds for a nice super clean copy. To balance this out my mate Ken Onions paid either four quid or two quid for his copy - but that was possibly before it got played at Stafford ?

I think it's a really tough find, probably falls into that category of "plenty about, but rarely comes out of folks collections unless the price goes high enough to tempt"

Like many stafford tunes if it became better known you wouldn't be surprised to see folk paying a lot of money to get somebody to sell it them, but for now it's 'a great tune you rarely hear played out' (on the odd occasion I've heard it loud in a venue recently it still works as a floorfilling stomper, it hasn't dated as some sounds do) and so the knowledge tends to stay with the devotees of the TOTW sound, and those who bother to listen to refosoul, etc.

Just out of interest I've seen this listed in write up's as both Les Chansonettes c/u & also as The Chantels c/u, .... hmm typing error? or a case of dj forgetting what he'd covered it up as when the mic is switched on, or even when more than one dj is playing it they tend to use different names ?

Mind you I can't talk about dj's saying the wrong things, I always have a mental block and introduce Sam Williams as Al Williams and vice versa! and that's just the tip of that particular iceberg !

I recall it as the 'Chantels' and associate more with Hinckley and other venues at the time more than Stafford.

Blue stockers and WD's as you said...pops up every now and then.

Pure nighter sound...a right thumper though the vocals don't exactly get the Soul-O-Meter meter needle moving much!

yeah, i think part of the reason it doesn't come up for sale is that it's a rock group and there's a separation between people buying selling rock and soul

One of those records which nobody was interested in when I had it for sale on a spanking new WD, couldn't believe it, think I sold it to JM in the end - was about 18 months back. £100 plus.
