whilst £6800 is a lot of dough for any record,i honestly thought inspirations would get past the 10k mark?

i dont shit about modern,but that mister 45 is on there twice,so either someone got a right bargain,or someone has had there arse nailed to the floor! i agree the jesse davis was for nowt too,i suppose the tune is out of step at the moment.

my copy here shows it was 77 of 500 pressed,i had 2 copies a few years back and sold one on ebay,think i got about 50 quid for it

what year chalky?

yeah this is the motown one i attended,i knew i had gone to 3 weekenders around 90/91.i recall martha reeves and edwin starr being the standout acts for me. which was the god awful weekender with sam ward,lou ragland,francis nero all singing to a rubbish backing tape? at least the acts at yarmouth were with a real band!

is there a flyer for the motown weekender then for 89? also didnt the pa go dead for chuck jackson and he sung accapella? i seem to remember a glittery gold jacket he was wearing? gene chandler had some king costume on?

i went to the yarmouth weekenders,i was only around 19/20 at the time, i was more into the dancing and the records,and the djs were like something that fell out of the sky,but in all honesty seeing the acts didnt really interest me. i recall ray pollard and some female artists,but i seem to recall chuck jackson,hb barnum,jj barnes,lorraine silver,martha reeves,tony middleton,when were these acts on? but i dont recall seeing ben e king,but i doubt i would have been that fussed about that. there was other motown acts too,who were they,anyone know? i seem to recall 3 weekenders around them couple of years 89/90/91?

thanks pal,thats the bugga! sounds suspiciously like jimmy radcliffe though?

beat ballad from the late 80's,seem to recall it being an unissued thing by supposedly chubby checker,but it sounds like jimmy radcliffe? i can hear it in my head but cant remeber who it was? ta dobber

5 big ones for j d bryant on shrine,funny how a record sounds better the more you pay for it!

is that the original male vocal inspirations? cant be many of them,t massey has one doesnt he? serious money!

1330 quid for jay d martin....haha only kidding,wasnt me honest!

i suppose if the usual rate for this is 200 quid,and the usual rate for sam williams on tower is 1200 quid,does that mean the buyer would be happy to pay about 8k for sam williams? haha

thats a big number for the betty wilson acetate!

well said phil,exactly the same for me word for word pal! also chalky,you mention the carlton club,i attended a particular nite when sam ward,frances nero,were playing,i was a young lad and i dont remember to much about it other than wasnt lou ragland on aswell? i wasnt overlly impressed with the artists,probably cos they were singing to a backing tape,but i do remember sam wards big cowboy hat! haha

well said phil,exactly the same for me word for word pal!

im not a fan of that hopkins bros at all! however in terms of value,how in gods name does it achieve that amount? tim browns price guide has it at 25 quid!

wow..didnt sell for $1000,i imagine it will appear on ebay soon,or jm's good read,nice to see he recorded 2 singles before his death,leaves history behind for his family

i love this tune,her voice on this midtempo gem is fantastic,especially when the male backing comes in!

do you mean the dean courtney issue? if so,then pete smith found it some years back...fantastic find!

this dean courtney issue amazes me more than the recent darrell banks find on london issue! for a tune thats been in demand since the casino days,how the hell can there only be 1 known copy of an issue on a major label?..just amazing!

i agree...just another moanin minnie!
