Geoff no need to wait that long, I'll play my £10 (should have been £7) Creations at Solid Hit on 5th December & Ted who is our guest that night can play his slightly rarer Classics if you ask him nicely ;-)
Used to play this out quite a lot 10 or more years ago love it ...a tenner from a Mr P Smith from Hastings or Brighton, somewhere on the south coast anyway
Edit. Thinking about it more like 12years @ SITC
Guess you're right Pete, I paid £60 about 10 years ago & thought it was a ton at most nowadays, before this auction what would you have sold it for ? ( & the smiley is a joke as I know you're not led by others with your prices )
I mentioned it on the Broadways thread & I'll do so again David Coleman, an auction record ? hmm at that price I guess it is but in the real world ...................?????????????????
Just walking through Selfridges Department store & I had a wtf moment. Just caught the end of Betty Lavette Let me down easy ......or not. So surprised to hear it I didn't listen that carefully. The voice sounded very much like Betty & while the backing was very true to the original the 20 seconds I heard I realised that it was much more recent then the 60s. Thinking about it & the rubbish that they play through the instore system, it couldn't have been Betty & I can only assume that a remake has been recorded trying to get as close to the original as possible. Has anybody else heard this (or am I last to know as usual ?)
Ha ha lines crossed I think Patto, original poster mentioned the track was Mecca/Cleethorpes type sound so when you mentioned DD I assumed you meant it was played at those venues, I'll go back to sleep
Don Downing played at the Mecca ?
What a great record (well it was at the time, have to dig it out & see how it sounds today) Used to play it at some new release soul & funk night I used to do ........ ahhhh when I was young
It's a matter of taste (opinion) Steve, there's loads of pop stuff that's been played that I have enjoyed hearing out, especially at Wigan with the atmosphere but this one just grates
Old Stafford play I believe wiggy ? (where's Chalky?) Played it at Solid Hit now & again, also played the other side out a few times. Good doublesider (especially at 30 quid )
