pow wow mik

seeing about 200-300 people, average age must be 40, but many younger and older dancing like mad in the main room at 7 in the morning at Prestatyn while the so called 'young generation' generally mope around in bars that shut at 1 am listening to nondescript background music, or cram into meat market fun clubs leering at each other to a soundtrack of banal shite. Truely shows that age is irrelevant (untill your knees or hips go ) and passion is everything. brilliant.

I've always really liked it, got 10 copies for $2 each once, hardly flew out! Must not have had the official seal of approval!

played my volume boosted and crudely remastered vinyl carvers copy of Helpless for the first time in Venice (took off the acataet obviously) , rocked the dance and sounded brilliant out. Did you get the other one Tony?

only my opinion, but i think that's what's so great about it, it's tune and groove are more outstanding than it's 'properblacksoulishness', which is an often an over rated value I think. In the end, it's a great memorable tune, which a lot of big proper black soul records frankly aren't. First time i heard butch play it i jumped up to dance like I'd known it years. But yeah it is quite MOR 'radio friendly', could be the carpenters moonlighting!

not 'hard times' i hope?! :angry:

please do! the offer will start going down from now! if you find it, get in touch but I'm away for couple days but will get back to you. cheers mik

£225?

can't you take records in as hand luggage? I wouldn't trust baggage handlers with anything, I spent too much time in Crawley!

need this classic cos just got the perfect track to go with it, dont really want to pay Manship's £50 for a minter and only need decent playable copy, if anyone has a clean playing one they'll part with for around £25/30 please let me know thanks, mik.parry@talk21.com or pm

£200?

Will pay up to £180 depending on condition cash or otherwise for a copy of banny Price 'you love me pretty baby' on Jewel. cheers, mik.parry@talk21.com or pm

Piney Brown over £100? doubt it'd get over £50 on ebay. What Jack Hammer Ezzie?

not surprised!

no info sorry, but being a big Jack Hammer fan I've often been tempted to buy it blind on ebay as it crops up a fair bit, his stuff nearly always has a bit of character at least, if it's the same bloke (as this is credited to Jack E Hammer). What's it like?

you only breath in Mace!

if you got yours for $20, how come you got the cold sweats and nearly fainted when i got mine at the Hideaway them few years ago? was it the thought of the profit you could have made moving it on? Gav still wakes up in the night having nightmares about that!

A later, funkier version of the one on 4brothers, think there's two copies known of this or something, but you probably know that. You'd be looking at £100s anyway. Great track.

surely it's just because he has such a massive audience and high profile. If there's 2 collectors in the world who really really want that certain record, they're unlikely to be both at a nighter digging through a sales box, or looking on sales pages on here every day but will all see Manship's auctions, and sometimes would rather pay that much extra than spend hours digging and searching. There's a few records on my wants list that I'd happily pay way over any 'book' price just to have now to play, you get another person in that same situation and there you go - a bidding war and an inflated price. I offered £125 for a blues busters on here - not a big record fair enough but probably more than it's ever sold for but got no offers. if Manship put one on auction and i won it for that, you'd get loads of people on here saying 'i sold one for £75 or £30 etc'. But i want it now, and to get it is worth an extra £50. if it was a rarer record, the chance to get it while you want it would be worth maybe an extra £150+ to me. There's always griping about people spending a bit too much for a record, but if they got it at the right price but spent £50,000 on a sports car, which seems a far bigger waste of money, no one gives a shit. And beyond all that, thank f*** there's still interest. If you're moaning about this, how will you feel when all these records are worth nothing cos it's all over? I hate it when I can't afford a record I want, like this Wendel thingy that's suddenly blown up, but in a way am glad that there's still a buzz about it, it shows there's life and enthusiasm in it still.

ouch! jesus that's awful, maybe the people at the label just couldn't bare to waste any more vinyl on that turd so pressed up something good on it instead. maybe tommy Andre was the boss's brother or something and he didn't have the heart to tell him his record was crap! I wonder what the ratio of correct ones to miss-presses is and who really does 'hold back the tears', cos he sure aint fucking about You shouldn't have told anyone about the miss press, imagine the amount of people who would rush out and buy it only to have to hear that, surely that would have given you some sort of sick amusement?

ah, seem there's two issues, maybe he realised the first attempt was wank and had another go!

just a thought Sebastian, have you actualy heard the same record play a different track? cos he does say 'one more try' near the end! are you sure they dont all play that?!

not half

think it's just the Les Mccann & Eddie Harris live original isn't it? I remember Gloria Lynn's lovely 'Speaking Of Happiness' showing up in some film that had Jennifer Lopez and was about some guy stuck in a desert hick town, quite good film actually. i know it's not soul, but I love this from the city Of God soundtrack:

Just got the Tommy Andre 'one more try' miss-press / miss-label on Broadway that plays a track that seems to be called 'hold back the tears'. Think it's fantastic and was wondering if it came out as another record correctly labelled or if it's only available on this miss-press. thanks for any info.

sound. where do they go?
