Yeah no problem, totally understand. Its not goin anywhere,its in my collection. I meant to reply back in Oct when i first saw your post but totally forgot, then something today reminded me lol. Cant remember who I had this off, but it must have been a trade with a dj coz there are vague signs of cover up on the run out; only noticed them today when assessing condition. Must hve been Keb or Guy I guess. Tim

My demo is £100. Condition is: Visually looks vg+ to Ex. Audio is pretty much flawless NM/M at either low or high volume, other than the run in which has a bit of audible fuzziness/ low level crackle. Ive always been a very fussy collector and the condition has been good enough for me to keep it, if that helps. Tim

Hi, I know Im very late with this, but did you get fixed up? I have an orange demo. Tim

Hi, I have the rare White Demo of this, in NM condition. £150. Thanks Tim

Not sure why Nabays details are still a mystery for some, I thought everyone knew by now that I met and interviewed Nabay and his Mum over 30 years ago in 1991; it’s been well documented. I also later over in Calif, met and interviewed his brother, a drummer. Yes he is Lebanese not Moroccan. I also met Al Bushamie and interviewed him too. The leads came from Bob Babbitt who I spoke to on the phone in 1990 while he was living in Nashville. Bob gave me Al’s details and it followed from there, with Al then giving me Nabays contact details.

I’ve never seen one, but that’s not to say it doesn’t exist. My instinct would be that if it did exist, either in collector or dj circles, somebody would have shouted up about it by now; it’s at least 45 years since first discovered/played!

Each to his own but for me this is a really good record, great Philly, and proper mid tempo Northern, looks great too. I think that’s a rare record. I for one would be beside myself to find something like that, that good, and unknown here in 2022. The one I had, (which I think I paid £8 for)which is the only one I ever had, went to I think Kenny Burrell, and even then it was a long way North of what it’s just sold for. When I priced it I worked on the principle I’d probably never see another one, and based also on what I knew of the history of it not being around. There was a time when you could have gone to John Manships and found a small clutch of those on his racks for not much money. The context there is that on the same racks was a Jimmy Gresham for pocket change which I eventually bought; we’re talkin mid 80’s. I agree entirely with my man Butch’s comments about the gender issues. I actually said to a few people recently that I think a lot of folks have lost that classic girl group Motownish Sound from their heads, and sadly have little respect for it, never to return. As for out of tune, hmmmm, interesting. I never really heard that in it, but well it never seems to have done Del Larks or Salvador’s any harm, both of which are iconic Northern Records, and goin up in price almost by the hour! Nobody EVER mentions that about those two great records, lol.

You know there’s a mint one in Discogs with a U.K. seller for £230??
