The Intentions "I'm Losin' Your Love"/"I'll Search The World UP TIGHT 1196810 Ex condition copy of this current spin now £90

It's been on a couple of times, I think I saved the sound file somewhere(quite good I think) and flip label, I'll have a look tonight.

Guy H. played it at Stafford, slightly speeded up c/u as The Whispers

No, it is the 2nd issue of Phil Orsi on Wise World

Well spotted Trev PS he hasn't offered me any yet, so If you want to go halves on a box

25 tops for an issue

Tokays V. Cheap, V. suprised, someone got a bargain there! and Womack too

Look where?

So true, got mine from Martin K for £15 in 86/87, sold for 250 mid to late 90's

C18H26N2 H2SO4 comes to mind eh!

How much is this going for then?

Colin Laws copy of Doni Burdick "Candle" had the same label ,that came from Kop...

The CB record is a different record, vocal by Wilbur, the Resist one is female (Jimmie Lee)

Dont know her who did she knock around with, Xxxxx who kept her gear in her knickers?

I was there that night too got my photo with man-mountain Steve, he couldn't appear live for some bizzare contractual reason he DJ'd with Chris King instead, we stand for some right old shite don't we?

I found this in the loft

So there must be loads of copies of the Combinations on Kellmac knocking about in lofts then

My understanding is the record was purely a promotional exercise, testing the water in all areas, if you want more clarity ask Joey Jefferson.

Sorry what do you mean, what is the chance of a UK collector having Don Gardner in the loft or the Inspirations for that matter, virtually nil unless it's that guy with Frank Wilson on Joker

I agree if your on about Don G. but Inspirations was never pressed at 1000!

I know 2 definate Breakthrough copies I've seen them.

Label owner Joey Jefferson (Breakthrough/Mutt & Jeff) cut several versions of "No One.. " Johnny Hendley being the one on 1001, it wasn't a released record hence being one sided, either being used for publishing purposes or just to test the water, the first Proper release being Sunlovers "Make the Grade", Inspirations was a Joey Jefferson name and with a few groups of the same name, Sunlovers was chosen. Famously Joey Jefferson has spoken of being ripped off by english collectors, probably Simon S got there before anyone else, Neil Rushton said he saw a 25 count box there back in the 70's but couldn't prise a copy out, in 1977 aware of the popularity Joey Jefferson released a new version (original backing track+ new vocal by Charles Diamond, who confusingly had been one of the vocalists on the first takes..the saga continues..

Johnny Hendley (of John & the Wierdest) is the vocalist on Breakthrough 1001, this has been covered at length before, Chalky will know where the links are, Mick Smith has a copy, Gilly's old copy went to Tim Brown, Pat Brady had an alternate take on acetate (not Charles Diamond), for me this is still one of the greatest true Northern rarities.

Hi Dave, A bit of a puzzler this one, haven't seen the Pandora one for years ( a mate got one off Soul Bowl for 75 back in the 80's), all the production credits etc. on Mohawk are New York, are any of the label credits on Pandora different?
