I just like the fact they suggest that she may have been drunk when she sang it

https://cgi.ebay.com/Marsha-Gee-Peanut-Duck...1QQcmdZViewItem MARSHA GEE PEANUT DUCK PENN45012 Everyone agrees: "Peanut Duck" is simply one of the best songs ever. A fascinating composition featuring raw sound, astonishing LYRICS and, last but not least, a sexy, b-i-z-a-r-r-e performance... A true experience for the senses! Little is known about this number, save for the fact that it was waxed at Philadelphia's Virtue studio at some point in the mid-sixties. There are several opinions concerning the identity of the singer hiding behind the Marsha Gee artistic name (a celebrity?, was she drunk or simply knackered?). Another mystery: how comes that such a powerful number was not originally released? Preserved through an acetate -discovered in the late 70's- it was later included in a few compilations, some of them good, some of them quite horrendous... In any case, here you have the first legit and, hopefully, definitive release of "the duck song". Call it soul, R&B or simply dance music... In a perfect world, such a dance would be taught in schools. "This is an absolute classic: frentic, loosel and above all .... sexy. Was she drunk? Was she a stripper? Man, she could sing. This vinyl cut sounds awesome and richer than ever..." - Shindig Magazine

It was a million times better back then...

Ian O'Hara had the only one I've ever heard of

Once again I am sorry this is now sold but it's no good offering me 700 quid after I've actually sold it Why not go for it in the first place?

If thats only worth 30 quid then I'm a Baggies fan - it was 75 quid 8 years ago and I've only ever had one copy, ever, and I've had a fair few thousand records through my hands

Thought it was only reissued on UK...may be wrong

I would have done, but the f*cking sites down!

Great post Sunnysoul, sums it up for me

At the bottom of some pages, an advert for a new Trojan release pops up - a compilation put together by Jazzie B. Remember him, the guy who hates Northern Soul because it's patrons are all racists? Tw*t.

Here's another Sandbag demo on which the 'braille' can easily be seen, to the left of the S in Sandbag (great record by the way)

Can you tell me how to get these ultra close ups? My camera has a macro setting but I can't get in anywhere near that close

The pop charts I'd have thought, it's well in keeping with the semi-psych of the time

Well yes, totally out of order. I am not disagreeing with you Paul.

I am one of those, and the rest of the people usually refer to us as dinosaurs...

I understand, it's just there are a lot of people who would just look at it as a night out and not be aware of any politics involved. You should boycott it by standing outside and selling dvd's of the original

I understand why you are angry Paul but you are missing one important point, a lot of people may never have been able to see the original play - me for instance - and would probably be happy to make do with this as an alternative. A bit like buying Bo Donaldsons version of Girl Don't Make Me Wait when Bunny Siglers version was the one everyone wanted but wasn't available. Or something like that anyway.

I do tend to sell records cheaper to friends, but by the same token, it cuts out the listing, postage and all that b*llocks

This is absolutely true - the carrier bag bit - sometimes you would take an LP out with you just to show it off! I remember doing this with the original Trojan storry triple lp back in 72 except it got heavy under my 12 year old weakling arm and I had to take it back home

Yeah it is mind-boggling. I remember down in Hastings, I had like a thousand albums in one room and they took up every bit of space, now I can get that amount into my pocket! I know it's not the same, and I appreciate the fantastic archive opportunities that cd's bought us, but I still think it's going to be a dodo in a few years time - whereas the LP will never die out...remember when you were a teenager, walking down the road with your current favourite LP under your arm to see if you got any glances...I wonder whatever did happen to my New Seekers album

I think In 10 years time there will be no cd albums for sale in any shops...nobody needs them anymore. They'll become like betamax videos. I've put my entire collection onto a hard drive, sold all the originals, and I take what I want from it and put it onto the mp3 player or make 300 track cd compilations to play in the car.

maybe all the LP's are stereo but the single came out in mono?

It's very rare that I am jealous of anyone on here. Until now. And I'm not even on about soul records!

I had an offer earlier which the seller thought was good enough to accept so this one is now sold, thanks for the interest.
