Lee Fields- 500?
Sold a Lee Fields for £20 at Cleethorpes Weekender in 1994
I missed it so much-I bought another for £30 two years later and I`ve still got it
I expected to it to fetch its market value (so I thought) of about a ton for the issue.
Never expected 500-How the prices have risen..
A very warm welcome to you Paul. Your reputation precedes you. (I`ve always wanted to say that to somebody on this forum! )
But seriously-it DOES precede you. Glad to meet you.

Are you thinking of "I Can`t Turn My Back On You" by Vince Apollo?
On the flipside of "I Bear Witness"...
Dunno what it is but Syng McGowan and Vince Apollo remind me of each other although they`re totally different....weird...
I asked first.....
First heard it at Cleethorpes Pier many moons ago-not seen one since except on eBay a year ago once where I was outbid-(went for $676)....Been searching in Kansas City, Los Angeles and Las Vegas for one (came back with some other good stuff though) -no luck yet..Anyone got a copy for me too?
And also the economic situation around the world could be a factor. But the internet is a law unto itself anyway but you`d expect people who have fallen on hard times because of the recession to be selling items and bargains would be there to be had. But I think Mr Dewhirst is correct-this doesn`t seem to be happening. What`s everyone else`s take on this?
And also nice to see that RCA put a few "bonus" tracks on their Grapevine LPs which weren`t issued as Grapevine 45`s- obviously to boost the album sales. I remember people who were primarily Gravevine singles collectors also buying the albums for stuff like "To The Ends Of The Earth" and such..
NO! But he DOES wear.......a MOUSTACHE!!! But not on the label. Only on the album sleeve. Just a hatless afro on the label.
"It`s hell down here and we`ve got to make a change"
Got quite a few of `em missen including Lester Tipton, Stanley Woodruff and many others. A legacy from my teenage years-I spent quite a while trying to collect `em all..(but failed)
For durability and sound quality over time you can`t beat British -even if they aren`t (for the most part on this label) original sixties/seventies releases..
The UK original issue was on Polydor 2659 036. Gate fold cover which opened to reveal a full spread poster of the man himself. Issued in 1974. Hope this helps.
Well, all I own are HARVEY SCALES-TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE and the instrumental version on another MAGIC TOUCH 45 somewhere.
Wouldn`t mind a copy of SEAN TAYLOR (MR ESQUIRE)-NEVER DO I WORRY if someone`s got one for sale. Been searching for this since Cleethorpes Pier many moons ago...Scarce-ish...
Amazing!-I`ve been playing "TODAY`S MAN" for years. One of the few 45`s which I`ve never even bothered playing the flipside.
Here`s a tip for all you kids out there-play BOTH sides of your 45`s-they may surprise you...
Well,if anyone`s at the HILL tomorrow night and asks me for either DRY WELL, THE SEEDS (or both) we`ll be happy to play `em.
Because we`re like that.
Should be another crackin` night... see you there..
