As I suggested on Face book & having now heard the Green Grunchons this is an exact copy of Jerry O Popcorn Boo-ga-loo Part 2 BL 104
Yes it has the additional Brass & is about a tenner as heard at Solid Hit in London
Not until I've had at least half a shandy would I talk Mace & it would take so long to finish that half you'll have got bored of waiting.
Hope you're well mate
I first heard it on a manship tape, afraid don't know the date but it was full of Stafford stuff.
Was going to play it at Solid Hit 10th Anniversary tonight but think i put it back on the shelves while sorting stuff yesterday
exactly Gary that's what I'm saying, some claimed it was tinny on the other thread but it sounds, as you say meaty. Certainly when I used to play it it got a good reaction.
There was a thread on this a while back & a lot of people claimed the French release sounded "weak/tinny" & the worst of the 45 releases. I have the French release & to me it sounds no different. At the end of the day go with what your ears tell you.
Very rare, according to someone on popsike there's only 3 known copies, if that's the case I know the three who own it. 2 in UK one in LA but I think there's more. I do know there was only between 200/250 pressed so probably not many about atb dave
Martin although I expect you're talking plays at a big nighter I was playing both sides on the Now release at Solid Hit in London about 6 years ago for about 6 months, a few danced great little cheapie ....or it was then. Never new about Hot Cinnamon
Got mine from Des Parker, he had it at 50 & gave me a tenner discount Des & Pete Smith, good guys selling records at decent (cheap) prices
Hope you're keeping well Paul ? Not 100% on the price but sure I remember seeing it mentioned on here that it was going for silly money & sure I remember 500 being mentioned !!!!!!! 2 good sides but I tend to play Tell it to the wind if I play it out
With you on that Ian, it's a fabulous fabulous double sider & in fact the very first record I bought knowing it as Northern Soul on "Million Seller" records from Contempo way back in the day (too frightened to think of how many years ago ) Still have that same copy & never had an original
But I just can't get my head round someone paying at least 5k for that record. If I wanted to play it out I'd buy a Revilot copy. if it was something like the Parliaments My rainy day (off top of my head) yes totally understand but this .... ? Oh well I've never been a uk collector.....good job, also as others have said might not even go to a soulie .
With her group The Vandellas who had a hit with ....& I can't remember what track they mentioned & he said Gladys night
Supremes previous name .....pass
My minds gone can't remember Richard sorry, check on I player, it's quite early on in the programme
Ha Ha remember it well, certain people claiming there was nothing left to discover 60s wise, Mick Webb claiming that he didn't need to listen to Kebs spot he just knew it was shit yup its there in black & white or occasionally black &green / pink ..................or was that the slightly earlier ones Steve ?
Joe Boy released it on a "JoeBoy" picture sleeve & was the full length / extra verse version.
Would they have re-issued it on Dore as well ? I guess a lot of people prefer a US lookalike & it was the original short version.
Hmm possibly answered my own question
Record buying Pete, sometimes you just have to, a desperate need to have that record. Some wouldn't, many would.
As for paying that much over the top when a simple search would give an idea of the "normal" price ????????????
