£5-ish.

Which had a mis-spelled label as well, the only one I've ever seen. It credits the tune as "Gonna Find A True Life".

It was issued on a 45 as AWARE 038. I love their "Why Not Start All Over Again" 45 on WESTBOUND. Punchy uptempo funky dancer with gritty vocals.

The Crown Four, The Chosen Few and The Adventurers (on Blue Rock) were the same group (bar one member or so). The release of "Birth Of A Playboy" as The Crown Four on the LEE JOHN label was the first release of that song, it then appeared on both Maple and Canyon. It's the same recording on all three releases (but with punchier sound quality on Maple and Canyon).

No, I don't have it and I have heard these rumours about it being a spoof and sure, it might be, but I don't think there's any proof in the picture which I posted above that confirms it being a fake. PErhaps it's me who's cynical, but I just thought that this "rumour" was spread by people who wanted to be able to still play it from their LPs and feel "good" about it (you know how it is to play a tune from an LP when a far rarer 7" exists of the same track ). The scan above was posted on either this forum or the RSF forum and the 7" is supposed to belong to Ian Clark. It was photocopied onto a paper and then scanned (that's why there's a line running through the scan, where the paper had been folded). The other Solid Solution 7" on Silver Spoon (#7117, "L.O.V.E."), which DEFINITELY exists, has also got plain text for the label name. "Think About It Girl" is supposed to be #7119 if you look closely in the scan above. That's all I know and I really, really wish that it does exist on a 7" because I want to own one.

It DOES exist on an original Silver Spoon 7" as well.

"Danny Day" was actually Hal Davis. Both sides are written by Jimmy Webb. I only know of it being released on VIP. Both Brenda Holloway and Blinky also recorded "This Time Last Summer" but as far as I know neither of those recordings have ever been released.

INCLUDES: here I am oh my soul disgusted and discouraged got to get to moving nothing can change this love gimme some in the still of the night you need love grown on love that's when a woman needs a man "You Need Love" was not issued on any of their RCA 45s.

That's the spirit!

Yes, now it's getting plays by quite a few people, but it's been on CD for 5 years and was released on Money, a quite famous label... just saying that it's suprising sometimes to see what kind of stuff that slips under the radar.

And I'm right!

Only about 4 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

Why? The Imperial release is a reissue from 1964. The original release is on Minit from 1962. No matter how rare the US Imperial or UK London releases are, they shouldn't be of much interest if you're into having tunes on their first issue. In my opinion ofcourse.

Why is their other 45 hardly ever mentioned? It contains another good dancer in my opinion.

It's fairly hard to find, but crops up for sale every now and then both on eBay and on this forum. Ususally goes for about £100-£150 on lists and £75-£125 on eBay. Still seems to be strangely unknown to people despite being comped on the "Money Vol. 1" CD.

Yes.

The Minit release is from 1962 and the Liberty one is from 1964.

I've put together two MP3-mixes featuring tracks from my current auctions for those of you who don't have the time to dig through all of the eBay listings.

Here's a demo copy: The copy above sold a couple of days ago on eBay for £13.50 (in less than mint condition). A properly listed mint copy which would've mentioned the in-demand side, "I've Been Hurt By Love", would probably have sold for more. Do a google search for it and you'll find set sale copies for about £15-£20.

The PALMER release number is NOT scratched into the deadwax on the pink label release.

One that springs to mind: New World - We're Gonna Make It - POLYDOR

Nice bopping "new breed r&b" type of tune. John Mayall recorded a version of it in the 60s and Dr. Feelgood did it in the 70s. Lots of other artists have recorded it as well.

Wow!

Well, there you go!!! Superb news! Have to track one of those down. Any more info on this release? What are the other tracks etc.?
