Need Fred Cole De-Lite Recordings For Fred Cole

Posted

I'm trying to make a CD for Freddy Cole, the artist who recorded on Tru-Glo-Town, De-Lite, etc. He is Nat King Cole's brother. I have two of the delite 45s, #533 and #515. There are two more de-lite singles, #506 and #508. Can anyone supply me with either of the 4 sides I'm missing (e.g. delite #506 and #508) that I can send to Freddy? please email me at bobabrahamian@gmail.com. Thank you.

Hi Bob,

I sold 508 on ebay a while back, was very pleasantly surprised at the price it sold for, around $150!! I recorded sound clips to go on the ebay auction but sadly not full length ones. I have a 2min15sec or so mp3 which is approx a minute of each side. Happy to mail this to you if it would be of any use?

I do have another of his De-lite 45s somewhere, can't remember which # though. Will try and find it later for you.

Cheers,

Adam.

yeah, I saw that, craig moorer had also sold that number, I assumed you sold it after craig did. i don't want to send him a partial clip but let me know if you find one that is not the one i have. thanks.

i just saw the sales thread you are talking about, i think he may have mentioned that title too. it would be nice if someone would record both sides of that to send to him

Bob ,it was myself who sold it to Keith,I only have an mp3 of you wont be easy to forget,which i will send you shortly,seems quite scarce,quite early,the label actually credits fred cole and the diamonds

I think I may have met Freddie in the 70's when he recorded for U.K. Decca! Is it the same Freddy? I always presumed it was, so you may want to check this.......

ive got the 1976.."Freddy Cole Sings" LP on Decca......which has a nice jazzy remake of his Tru-Glo-Town tune "i'd have it made".....(retitled as "if i had your love")....
