Yep, seen and held the issued version (it's on French Stax). Here's a piccy for your perusal.

Not bad for $40 plus shipping then.....

Played this out a few times over the last couple of years - when I get the chance to do a 70s/Crossover type spot. Had a couple in my sales box and struggled to sell em, obviously not rare enough LOL

Bought a nice french test press of his ep featuring Blues In The Night recently, Anyone got a current upto date value on this? I notice John Manship has had one at some point as it's listed when you carry out a search on his site...

Been scanning through the Rarest of the Rare Gallery on Manships website, and it occurred to me that I hadn't a clue how some of the records qualify for inclusion. Whilst some are genuinely rare, it appears to me that quite a few aren't. A few that jump off the page are: Percy Milem - Call On Me - Goldwax Dorothy Williams - The Wells Gone Dry - Goldwax Mack Starr - Down By The Waterhole - Chene Paul Sindab - Can't Wait No Longer - Kasika All of which I've picked up over the last couple of years for well under 'book' price, with the exception of the Paul Sindab, which was a tenner about 10 years ago. All have been fairly regular visitors to eBay, and the Paul Sindab has been a semi-permanent fixture on there. So what is the criteria for this section? Maybe John will be good enough to post a response, as I'm completely flummoxed.

Probably Bradford 1989... Have trouble remembering the last nighter I went to, let alone the first.

Ahaar, Be Clippy Cloppy Cowboy Muzak. The wench loves it, but i can live without it. Yarr.

As good a reason as any not to buy the record. Jumped in price to a stupid amount... remember this being a £15 record. If I was Psychic I'd have bought a handfull.

Boot is on a UK white label... nowt like the original.

Demo and issue below.

Unless you've got a Jukebox that plays 78s.... Still plenty of them around.

Wasn't he on one of Sams labels at this time?

Loads of Excello stuff on 78s....

Can't only say what's happened at nights i've attended occaisonaly over the last two years: Soulsville closed due to low attendances - across the board music - Leeds Ponds Forge - attendance seems to have dropped over the last 12 months - across the board policy - Sheffield No More Doggin - gone up slightly - 60s Soul and R&B - Thringstone The Hideaway - consistantly packed - Early Soal and R&B - Manchester

Aharr, Methinks Mr Roberts knows not what a thug is really like. I imagine if he were to come across a real one, he'd be hiding behind his wifes petticoats quicker than you can say 'Whitby Ticket Fiasco' Yarr.

Aharr, I thinks i should drink some more grog afore attempting to decipher the replies on this thread. Yarr.

Avast, There is also a version of the backing (possibly re-recorded) with vocals by O.V. Wright on Back Beat. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/sounds/exists...HE_WAY_YOU_LOVE Yarr.

Aharr, I cast mine away also... Yarr.

Aharr, There be a sound-clippy on Mr Manships site... A touch more expensive than 40 Dubloons though. Yarr.

Aharr, But all three above tracks be Narwhal shite. Yarr.

Idon't see a problem with requests - you've paid your buck to get in the place... If it's worthy of being in their play box, it's worthy of being played as a request. Just make sure you don't ask them near the end of their set, can be a right bugger trying to shoehorn a request in if it doesn't fit with the flow of the tracks already selected.

It was recorded for an ad for Alka -Seltzer

Yep, you can get em for £15 plus p+p from me.

I'll take the Lee Bates if it's still available

Aharr, There's nothing silly about a frilly shirt and breeches. Ideal togs for tomfoolery. Yarr.
