I have heard there are two releases of this 45 ?

Anyone have the scans please.

Also which is the rarer / dearer or are they the same value?

WDJ or Issue harder to find ?

How much to purchase if one comes up for sale ?

Thank you

Most copies were melted down after they listened to it and found it to be offensive to the ears, hence it's £1000+ price tag.

Pay him no mind, top tune. Nearer 2k than 1 I fancy?

As far as i know there are no w/d's Guy once said to me he had seen a copy with a different colour logo at the top but that could have been coloured in by someone expect 1200+ still popular and was well received at York where they know good music unlike Wombourne

Would you like to find me the place where I said I didn't like Voices of East Harlem or are you just making stuff up now?

George Lemons can't sing.

Buddy Smith's record is a dirge.

Yes I am on the right site, thanks.

You buy it, this Wombourne rubbish music

Apparently they gave a free one of these to anyone who bought the George lemons record

Great record. Still want one.

did you give one free when you sold that tingle thing

Could you flip it over Pete ? Isn't the other side the Instrumental ?

Great record. Still want one.

Do you especially like the brilliant violin playing?

Thanks for all replies, very interesting..........

Which one? George Lemons has an inst on the B side I think, it's worse than the vocal in fact. Both sides on an early Goldmine cd.

I guess there's no pleasin you on this one......... lol

I have both the GL tracks as mp3s..........

 

Fascinating Girl isn't the worst record ever made. In fact it's not even the worst record George Lemons made!

more of a crooner than a soul singer if you ask me

Lord help us.

Lord help us.

Now you Guys aren't gonna tell me its unsual for an artist to have / be a "one hit Northern soul wonder"

George Lemons - It's An Uphill Climb To The Bottom - Goldmine

Thanks for the tune,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'm sure there was some sort of story about the George Lemons record only coming out because they were mafia/criminal types and wanted George to get a record release. Or I may be thinking about someone else, somebody will know. He certainly has a Criminal record.

TOP TUNE !!!!!!!!!! ...and it will be on my wants list for 2010 So, if someone gets borred with it in a few months time please let me know!!

Brilliant! I'm with you on this one Pete......

did you give one free when you sold that tingle thing

Not often we agree Ted..............but you're bang on this time.....

It's a while since we agreed so it's nice to say that you are right on above and so right on your opinion of this pile of cack, it is one of the worst records ever, and I refuse to listen to that soundclip to change that opinion, as I am sure it would. At the end of FG (can't bring myself to say the title) when he starts warbling it sounds like Vic Reeves in pub singer stylee, but worse.

I think Lemon's mother was a Ma Baker type figure and GL is doing life for killing a police man in a motel shoot out, the full story is on here somewhere, so check it out as my memory isn't what it should be! I can say that the only reason for re-introducing Capital Punishment would be for all involved in this record.

Not often we agree Ted..............but you're bang on this time.....

I am not sure I can ever remember disagreeing with you on music Mr Steele, but definitely this time. Cliff Steel and Northern Soul hang your head in shame for allowing this criminal record to escape from the depths of the 1cent bargain bin where it belongs to be banged up for life!

Well......I knew it was one of the Mecca masterpieces that you hated.....

It's gubbins. Sounds like a newly formed Salvation Army Band rehearsal. Used to go for a slash whenever Ginger hammered it! It was always good for 'comfort break', it meant you didn't miss a good record.

Yeah it's Carstairs - I love the Voices of East Harlem record - well most of what I've heard by them I've enjoyed.

nice to see it had its uses

George Lemons can't sing.

Buddy Smith's record is a dirge.

Agree on George Lemons - a horrifically poor record

Buddy Smith however is in my top ten. I love the pace and atmosphere - I love the lisp - but most of all I love it when Buddy sings the lyrics "When You Lose The One You Love ..." so damned bloody fast that you have to stop and work out what he actually just said

Cheers

There was a copy of George Lemons on ebay a few weeks back that i watched .

Just checked my ended items but can't find it ??

It didnt go for as high as i expected ,but deffo no more than a grand if memory serves me right.

Its one of those records for me ,that just goes down well at the end of a good soul night ......and no Pete ,not to send people on their way

By the way another of your pet hate records is GEORGE HOBSON i seem to recall

P.S

Pete, when i was on my jollies in Portugal t'other week,i went to a big festival and was surprised to see The Stranglers topping the night

Well any of you who dislike it and come across it, please throw my way.................I'd catch it here..............

Where abouts in the song, when he sings the first words? Theres no way he's saying the title, he's saying something like "wherewithall"

AND I'LL KEEP EVERYBODY INFORMED PM FOR DETAILS ALL INTERESTED PARTIES

ALL OF THE NEG BOYS PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELVES PLEASE

THANKS BRIAN

No mate - that's it - right at the start! That's where I reckon he says "When you lose the one you love ..." - listen to it - that's one reason why it's a fantastic record

If it is criminal for allowing this record to get turntable action then I think that Tingle record Pete has for his avatar deserves the death penalty

I saw the topic on the front page Pete and I wondered how many posts before you said it was the worst record ever, you didn't let me down

I'm sure there was some sort of story about the George Lemons record only coming out because they were mafia/criminal types and wanted George to get a record release. Or I may be thinking about someone else, somebody will know. He certainly has a Criminal record.

There is some murky story in there Pete, think they used the studio etc for money laundering. His parents I think involved in a shoot out with cops.

Why are some of the most expensive records actually among the worst records ever played on the scene, the following three records are in my opinion absolute garbage and worth in reality 20p each (tops) Frank Wilson - Do I Love You, The Andantes - Like A Nightmare and last of all the daddy of 3rd rate soul music George Lemons - Fascinating Girl.

buddy smith - when you lose the one you love -

Hmmm....possibly...but who would try to fit that many words into such a short space, it doesn't make sense...he definitely says WHEN to start - maybe I should put it on the old slow downer so that the music stays the same speed but I can slow his voice down to 33. Make it an even more exciting record than it already is!

Douglas ,there's an age old saying... Opinions are like ar**holes ....everybody's got one

Unbelievably this is true

That said, I do agree with him regarding George Lemons. It's total pants!

Well any of you who dislike it and come across it, please throw my way.................I'd catch it here..............

I thought you had good taste asking for GL but that Avatar of yours really makes me think about it

Lol, well I like that 45 too [i do indeed have my own tastes], but I'll pop up my latest purchase, see if that helps...........

bloody hell you aint bought it already have you

George Hobson - another record which wasn't released, it escaped! I'll admit that's a soulful record. But so what, it's terrible anyway.
