I used to have this but swapped it out a few years ago. Unfortunatley there's a chance the winner may be sorely dissapointed when they actually get it as the clip avoids the vocals which come in half way into what was the 2nd half of the clip...lets just say the copies that get played out are edits putting the good part of part one together with the good parts of side 2. Maybe being unfair, it's not an attrocious tune but when you've been used to hearing an edit played out (not knowing it's an edit) and then you get a proper copy,you can understand why it was edited. Bit like Funcky Brother on Smoke, and the Fab Originals (two of Wrighty's jobs) I know of three people (myself included) who had/have the Standards of Living and made an edit and got rid of the '45. If I can find the clip I made of the record before selling it I'll post it up - was actually looking for it today as it happens.

Thought it'd go fast - great record and seen it sell (not just seen it at...) for twice that in recent times

Yeah, box it up with Valvano, Frankie Ford, Van Horn, Carboni et al and send 'em over a cliff

Yeah, I think initally I said it was around £60 (as opposed to £150 on the initial price)...got it down to £100 but said I thought £80 was more like the top end. Not my records though so i can only do what the seller asks.

I tried to persuade the guy I'm selling a copy for here that it was probably about £80 tops...against that advice he told me to put £100 on it...still there so maybe it is too much

Would have thought it was well known amongst those into 70's/80's modern...killer two sider. Got great trades on mine when it went a few years back Trivia: When I spoke to him about 5 years ago Harold Andrews told me that he sold the rights to the songs to label boss Ray Simmons (he of the percussion for exercise routines 'fame' CDs) for $100 but that being new to the business Simmons did nothing with the record. He's down as the producer but swears it was he not Hank Gray who wrote the songs. There you go, told you it was trivial.

Mine sold for £300 earlier this year - two awesome sides

Could never understand the gap thing. It's not that hard to bring the level down a bit and talk over the end of a record then bring the next one in so the music doesn't stop. Anything else and it's open season for musical chairs. If it's some kind of big announcement then yeah, a gap is maybe the best thing, but not every time!

Bet they did! Lucky escape, mate.

I put a short clip from that auction on my first reply, Nev...ouch

Yeah, one and the same. You can only imagine that the poor unfortunate who shelled out over $200 to own this turkey was either stone deaf or hoping that by the time it arrived it had somehow turned into the Ellipsis...

Info? It sucks! Hopefully it's so rare that'll you never hear it at a soul do... Put this and the Ron Van Horn together and you've got the perfect 6 mins of musical hell... Here's the evidence frankiefordshocker.mp3

There's the Dells https://cdbaby.com/cd/dells

...since for ever...you're not saying that the main thrust of the discussions on this site don't come from a 60's, northern and 70's angle? I mean, the 10007 threads on the northern scene, originals only and who should play what, where and when testify to that. Not saying other eras aren't discussed but as Cunnie points out, releases like the new Dells, Stephanie McKay or Lalah Hathaway for instance don't really get that much attention in the main, even if they are discussed to some extent.

Maybe because that track's obviously not a throwback 60's sound (it's a more throwback mid 80's sound with those drums and keyboards and bassline) and as such doesn't offend the ideals of people who think the KGF is trying to unsettle their notion of what should or shouldn't be, or probably even come under their radar for that matter. There are 1000's of new soul releases that won't be discussed on this or any other predominantly 60's/70's music forums seeing as they don't bear much resemblance to that era. I'd expect the dells to be discussed more than the KGF on EMS ...I can't check as I lost my login info ages ago That said you have to admit that track (Dells) is in itself a very throwback kind of sound, very 80's drums and keyboards and bassline. That said the vocals are great, though.

So, you bought it purely so that once it's achieved what you don't what it to achieve - popularity, noteriety and wider demand - by means that you don't believe in or feel have any place on the NS scene - this particular record being played on the NS scene - you'll be able to cash it in and reap the rewards of it's achievements thanks to it's value rocketing because of those factors? Nice one

One things for sure, it's a billion times better than that god awful Smoove/Frank Popp cover-up pile of tosh! How come that's not being cruxified or has it been cruxified to death already?

For all those who pre-ordered one, just picked them up from the Post Office where they were sitting for a week...nice one Parcelfarce. You should have PM's in your inboxes now. Sounds really good 'live'.

It is also on the LP, Chris.

seeing as Jazzman's sold all of his, anyone who has a pre-order with me for these, don't worry, yours are on hold. Anyone asking me for them now, sorry, they're all allocated. That said they haven't show up yet...soon as they do those who have them on hold will know.

Soul Brother didn't reissue it, Passion (Escrow) did. The reissue had bonus tracks from the 45's, hence 11 tracks, inc I was Born To Love You and Baby Don't Do This.

Can't seem to find any info on this. Backed with Van McCoy - Favourite Fantasy, is this some kind of boot or something?

Nice tune but that guitar seriously needs editing (err...actually did one a few years back ) The other side's good though more funk than soul - this one could take off...actually having seen what a vg one just went for mine might be one offer quite soon
