The Tempest Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Did any others get played / make it big on the scene and is this still played / value ? Edited October 17, 2009 by 123-motown Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Reed Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Other than this one there were quite a few played. Sir-Prize - Never Can Find The Words Hotliners - Coldhearted Kooley - Count 2-3 Cheryl Hunter - Do It Right (although a 7") I also quite like Tommi Johnson - You For Me, although it wasn't earth shattering. Malik is a storming piece of 80's dance music. Apart from the small Boogie scene, I wonder if there is a place for them today. On hindsight over 20 years, IMO most don't stand the test of time.

Guest For Real Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 LA Superstars, just sayin it, also came out on Budweiser first I think. A brilliant slab of 80s soul IMHO. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mark68 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I bought most of them in the late 8ts and have sold/traded a few over the years. I have posted some of them up on my website and added sound clips to some of the best one's - https://www.independe...c/budweiser.htm I have seen quite a few copies of Sir Prize for sale lately, I remember trading my Lee McDonald album for the Preston Rawlings 12 with Steve Davis 20 years ago, something I regretted later on.

Guest Soulscene Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've got the Budweiser Showdown 1987 Regional Finals Mastertapes, from Starstream Communications and at the moment trying to find out all the Artists as it only give the Titles of the Song on the Tapes, I'll put a list up when I'm finished but any help will be greatly appreciated only 1987 though but it does include Sir Prize which is a plus.

Dean Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Mike posted this list in Aug 10. I think Cunnie Collects these too, he put me onto Crosswind Get ready which i still enjoy at home very much. Budweiser Label Listing For a change here's some info on one of the 80s collectable labels. Budweiser Showdown label came into being due to the beer people holding a competition, each area would have a contest with the winning group having their song pressed onto record and entering the national competition. It ran for about 7 years in the 80s and as you can imagine had a varied mix. Listed below are 25 of the best modern type soul ones. This label is also very popular in Japan with some commanding 3 figure prices PRESTON A. RAWLINGS - Forever Lover 12" 1987 San Digego BSR 731 HOTLINERS -Cold-Hearted 12" 1987 BSR 722 KOOLEY -Count 2-3 / AFTER 5 -Baby I'll Try 12" 1987 Miami BSR 719 CRESCENT CITY BAND - My Everything 12" New Orleans BSR 721 JEAN PAUL MARTINEZ -With You 12 ' 1987 Houston BSR 714 ELANS - Private Love Affair 7 " 1985 Atlanta BS 511 ROBERT OWENS - Must Be Lovin' You 12' 1988 Kansas City BSR 819 PROMISE - Betuna 12" 1988 Nashville BSR 825 CROSSWIND -Get Ready 12" 1987 Baltimore BSR 702 MALIK My Love 12" 1987 Boston BSR 706 QUINTEN WILSON -Just A Dream 12 " 1987 Tampa Bay BSR 735 SIR PRIZE -Never Can Find the words 12" 1987 Richmond BSR 727 HARRIET ADAMS Special Kind Of Lover b/w ALFREDA GERALD - Your Loves Got A Hold Of Me 12" 1988 BSR 801 CIHERYL HUNTER -Do It Right 7" 1985 Birmingham BS 509 RITA + CO-The Right Touch 12" 1988 Houston' BSR 833 ELLEN WRIGHT & LACE - Do You Want My Best Friend 33 rpm 12''1986 Seattle BSR 630 ROBERT ONVENS - In your Lifetime 12 " 1987 Kansas City BSR 715 FLAVOURS -On The Strength 12" 1989 Detroit BSR 913 BASIC BLACK - lt's All Over 12" 1989 Columbia BSR 912 CHAZ - Go for Love 12 1987 Pittsburg BSR 725 ROB & DANA So Glad 12" 1987 Carolina BSR 708 CHILDREN OF DESTINY - Be My Lady 12" 1987 West Palm Beach, BSR 736 CLASSIC REVUE - Don't Stop Knockin' 12" 1988 Baltimore BSR 803 MARY P.

Dean Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Did any others get played / make it big on the scene and is this still played / value ? Sorry didn't spot the value? at first sight. JM auctioned a Crosswind some time last year and I think it went for £100+. Cunnie (on here) did me a favour spotting one for sale (again on here, from Jolly I think) for £50, I think that was a cheap price given foreign interst in these.
