But can you afford to take a bath on it...? Don't try the sales patter mate, leave it to Beggsy.....mind you, a bit of pillowtalk with him might teach you a few tricks

Overplayed oldie anyhows..... Give ya 75p for it mind......

Heard you wanted a one sided acetate of this Mik

Found the bugga. White promo in M- condition, clean crisp white labels. PMed ya

Another one I've got stuffed in a box somewhere, pretty sure its a minter as well. No idea on value so make me a fair price and its yours (if I can find it ) Regards Mace

Already done the £15 one mate Get them £1 bargains listed up and fill yer boots

Paypal eh.....might be an idea for you to paypal me £50 to keep my mouth shut about Beggsy rejecting your romantic advances as you attempted to cuddle up to him in a cheap Philly Motel room a few weeks back... Bugga, cats out the bag....that's me £50 out of pocket then.... Sorry

He's got a big fine to pay Jocko, I did tell him 'getting it out' in public would land him in trouble but would he listen......

Pretty sure I've got a spare of this somewhere.....had a white promo and a black Canadian issue if my memory serves me well. Will try and dig it out this week to check condition etc.

Exactly the same record mate...and don't bother searching for it cus I do regularly I picked one up in the States last year and then found one on Richard Domars list when I got home for £9 Think Ady Pearce also had one a few years ago but it was long gone when I enquired

Quite hard to find the Fania release with 'Magic Rose' on flip, as is the Fania release of 'What good is a castle' with the far superior 'PT 2' that also didn't get included on the flip of the Uptite release. 'Magic Rose' did, however, get released on Uptite, but the artist name is Naatab (Bataan backwards of course)

Even better is the flip 'Magic Rose' on the Fania release....please post it up Mossy cus I'm useless at it

Pretty sure Beggsy had a spare a while ago, but he's probably got rid by now. Hard one to find on 45.

There's a short video clip of this being played at Amlwch Allnighetr in June 2007 (55 secs in), link below....ignore my drunken dancing behind the decks

Johnny Beggs has been playing Black Sugar for a while at Bidds, I'll ask him to do you a Latin CD mate.

Love hearing good quality Latin, so long as its English lyrics or instrumentals. I like to hear a few mixed in with a good set of uptempo Northern and R&B though, so not sure how a full night of it will work mind.......wish you all the best with it Warren. It does crack me up when people say certain genres of soul music ain't Northern Soul.....I think the thread on 'white' Northern tunes typifies just how broad a spectrum of music the Northern scene celebrates, and Latin does play, and has played a part (no matter how small) in the big picture of the scene. Unless you still wanna pretend that Bobby Valentin is Rex Garvin that is...

I'll take that as a back peddle then I honestly don't know either way Joe, and besides baiting you for fun I would actually be interested to know if it was credited as Mongo on the Disc Jockey release? Either way, it's gotta be Fania or nowt imo, so fook it....

My wig is firmly in place....I have had a latin track on the Disc Jockey label with pic sleeve but think it was Ray Barretto 'Soul Drummers'. Even so... are you still sure its Mongo and not Monguito?

Joe, European one on Pink Elephant on Popsike went for £36 in 2005. Artist is Monguito not Mongo. Not one to gloat but......

50% hike in 2 years...robbing get Was a £30+ record in the 90s Joe, you did well at £20.......

Are you sure about that....I have had it (though thought it was Belgium tbh) and pretty sure it was Monguito? Also got released on a mod 3 track boot as Mongo Bongo or something similar....perhaps that's the one you have with a nice self crayoned pic sleeve

Probably right on price of pic sleeve, but it's on a lable called Pink Elephant or something shite. Rather pay £50 for a Fania anyday. ....but then you always have been a cheapskate....

P.S. Think Mongo and Monguito are different artists Great name Mongo, good job he didn't go school over here eh

They turn up now and again, I believe John Weston has just started spinning it in his sets. It was a massive tune on the mod scene in the 90s. Pretty sure I've had it on on a Europen pic sleeve in the past, on a diff label, but you just can't beat a nice Fania copy....got an issue meself, which seem so much scarcer than WDs. Craig Moerer had a few VG+ copies a while ago for $50. Good latin is just hard to find full stop, don't know where the f*ck it all is to be honest..certainly not easy to find any of it in the States never mind over here.

The Mike Pedicin repros are white demos......a dealer sold an issue in Allentown for $650, he originally had $900 on it, so £350 seems about right. Oh, and it's not Mongo Santamaria, it's Monguito Santamaria...just to help you with the google/ebay search , and I'd say more like £50 than £30.
