Girthdevon

The Girth Devon Show on StompRadio.com, back for my first show of the new decade......and a sad time to remember two who passed away this week. Sandra Wright and of course the legend that was Teddy Pendergrass. The 2nd hour of the show will be dedicated to their music.......lots of TP classics & faves lined up. If you were planning to have a little Teddy session yourself, log onto www.stompradio.com @ 8pm and let me play some for you...... Kicking off at 7pm for some usual soul goodies - rounding off at 9pm Cheers Girth

Thats a bit of an understatement John if ever there was an advert for the LP over the 45 it might be that album Girf

Thanks for all the replies guys.....i'd seen all the french issues etc, but not this one any where near as often, and still up the air as to whether this is a proper US copy ????? Surely any bootleggers would have copied this one rather than the busier french label ??? Cheers Girth

Almost there - just one more sleep......you've done all your shopping, go on - put your feet up this afternoon, pop the cork or crack open a cold one and check out the impromptu GIRTH & GOMEZ XMAS SPECIAL on StompRadio.com - back together again after the best part of 20 years (bloody hell), we'll be heaving our sacks of tunes along, for 4 hours, yes FOUR HOURS of soulful & jazzy goodies - we'll be partying between 12 - 4pm today.....any requests or shouts you can leave them here or text me on 07906200052 www.stompradio.com

Nice show Niki & Nelly, bit heavy on the philly....had to play some Stranglers after to wash the philly down Meant to send in a request, but I was out & about and couldn't for the life of me remember the title - well it was MFSB - Sunnin' & Funnin' - lovin' this one recently. So stick me down for that one next year......see ya on Sunday, oh dear.... Loves ya Girf

Not sure on the flip Sebastian....gold label I think so probably Dy-Rich yes......you'd have to ask Bob to be sure.... Girf

PM'd you Dave......cheers Gareth

Dysons Faces is on a 45, only ever seen one copy tho', Bob Cosby's...... Girf

Get in there......Xmas time this week on the Girth Devon Show on StompRadio.com - after much deliberation I unanimously voted for a rare groove / two step mayhem special and i've been digging out the classics this afternoon......any requests or shouts you can leave them here or text me on 07906 200052 - Join me between... 7 and 9pm......cheers Girth

Sold @ £25 which I was happy with.....def not one of the French copies tho' Mark. You can clearly see the difference if you look at this copy on popsike.....https://www.popsike.com/GIL-SCOTT-HERON-The-bottle-7-NORTHERN-SOUL-latin-HEAR/360057258420.html I've handled both issues numerous times at Crazy Beat, but just had a niggling feeling that the ones that state they are US - not all are kosher ??? Cheers Girth

Thanks for the replied people......now sold, one happy customer....... Got the LP Dave, a fave artist - although the Bottle has never been in particular......single wise I prefer the UK Phillips 45 - backing Lady Day with When You Are Who You Are..... Cheers Gareth

Bout £500/£600 I think Mark........ Cheers Girth

Hey knowledgeable people.......can someone have a quick look at this copy of The Bottle and tell me if its a pressing or original......you can view the exact copy here on discogs...... https://www.discogs.com/Gil-Scott-Heron-Brian-Jackson-The-Bottle/release/1946914 Sure its obvious to many coming from the northern scene, but coming from the jazz funk scene like I do, I have never thought of it as a bootlegable record. And I seem to recall that the french 45s are original issues and that US ones are / are not ??? Got a buyer waiting, just wanted to confirm before I offer it...... and a going rate ???? Cheers Gareth

PM'd you......cheers Girth

This is one that has eluded me for an age.......Gary sold a copy of this in Crazy Beat years ago and it perked my ears up at the time - oddball intro but settles into a reet nice groove - top vocal. Made a mental note to pick one up myself, only to find that every copy I saw / played sounded nothing like I remembered. To the point where I thought I must have dreamt it or been seriously mistaken. Soon as I clicked on the link it all came flooding back..... Cheers for clearing that up..... Girf PS - there is another 45 that I have had a similar problem with, but for the like of me I can't remember what it was.....i'll get back to ya.....

Cheers Brett........it all comes around again so soon ;o)) Been digging deep this week for some choice soul & jazz for the Girth Devon Show this evening on StompRadio.com. Join me between 7 and 9pm this evening for some great oldies and a few nice new bits too......cheers Girth www.stompradio.com

Thursday evening and its time again in radioland for The Girth Devon Show on StompRadio.com........two hours between 7 - 9pm for the usual mix of soulful niceties, with maybe a bit of funk & jazz thrown in for good measure.....hope you can listen in...... Goto - www.stompradio.com ....Cheers Girth

The Chiefs is a Salsoul tune - Montana Sextet is on US Philly Sound Works tho'.....still a Vince Montana classic and almost a Salsoul tune Girf

Certainly would have been £25 or under a decade ago.......i'd have seen and sold copies at around 1998 to 2004 when I was at Crazy Beat......this really started to rise in value after that time. I think the last copy I had I sold for around £30 - and that would have been about 2005.....my own copy came out of a collection I bought and would have cost me about £2 I think !!! Hope you get some of those records back Stefan......a sorry situation for you...... Cheers Gareth

Most of my faves on the label already mentioned I think......this one tho' is one I go back to time & time again......love it..... Girf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeVZxUtJdBA

Not sure if i've seen a vinyl reissue, but certainly most, if not all tracks have appeared on CD......as Bobby Patterson, rather than 'Story'......not sure on the value now, but its always been a tough one to locate in the states. Alot of copies that come up for sale are out of collections..... Peach of an album of course..... Cheers Girf

PM'd you - any ideas on the going rate for this now ??? Gareth

While i'm at it i've just stuck up a clip of a Jamaican thing i've been given.......again not gonna set the world on fire but I could see it working in some places..... Girf

Soundfile up Mark.......the top side is a full on synthy boogie tune - think thats the side that is creating interest in Europe. This is my prefered side, altho' not 100% loving it Cheers Girth

STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP .....to a Marching tune....... Yes - its Thursday again.....seems to come at least once a week - join me on STOMPRADIO.COM for two hours of soul goodies between 7-9pm for The Girth Devon Show........major technical problems with the computers in the studio this week so you can text shouts & requests to 07906 200052..... ....Cheers Girth
