thats not watchers though is it, thought that was how many people had viewed the page

thats not watchers though is it, thought that was how many people had viewed the page

its not even how many people is it ? I think its how many times the item has been viewed but might be wrong......

so some people might have viewed it 10 times etc etc

it only registers individual hits

so it you look at it 10 times it still just registers once

unles you log in as a different user.

300 = 300 individual hits not 30 people looking at it 10 times

Changed my mind £7000

£6750 the winner who guesses correctly will actually win a nice shiny mint copy (pressing) lol

dont think any of the four shrines up for grabs or that 2 plus 2 are anything to shout about. plenty of better rare 45`s to spend money on if you`ve got it

got to agree the cautions and eddie daye & the four bars are by far the best

Always amazes me ,

when one of the big money records appears on ebay and someone starts a thread regarding price

Loads of people come on and start knocking the tune.

It's totally irrelevant to the thread topic imho

The fact is theyre rare and obviously very desirable to a lot of soul collectors ,but only a few can afford em.

If you were at a rare soul venue and someone put J.D BRYANT on the decks, trust me it'd sound awesome out loud.

Even William Powell in the right venue i:e a proper Northern soul night ,would fill the floor and have em drooling.

Theyre collectors pieces to me ,great examples that represent the scene wether you like the "rare soul" scene or the nostalgic oldies sounds.

I'm sure we all know a £10 record that sounds better ,but it has nothing to do with the price /rarity of the subject in hand.

Needless to say we are here to debate so carry on ...who thinks all shrine records are overpriced ,over hyped and just boring pieces of plastic

But then again ..we are here to debate all things soul ,so carry on

Nev,nev,nev,nev,nev.Are you saying that there's a 10 quid record better than JDB ? ..Or than WP? .

Back to the Shrine find,wouldn't it be nice if the Cairo's had ED & 4 Bars on the flip...?

are you fools deaf??????????????????

JDB and the Cairos are fukin awesome

I'm with you on JDB but not sure about the Cairos, sometimes I think it's ok the next day I think it's rubbish.

Personal top three Shrine tracks (that come to mind w/out 2nd thought):

1) Shirley Edwards - Dream my heart

2) JD Bryant - I won't be coming back

3) Ray Pollard - No more like me

These three overshadow everything else that was recorded for Shrine (IMO!)

Dont disagree with your top 3 being awesome, but nothing overshadows the Prophets as far as I'm concerned.

Fair point and I agree to an extent. The rarity and that kudos of owning something which nobody, or only a handful of others possess, have always been an integral part of the Northern scene. The problem I have with this area of collecting is how it affects the price of everything else. The higher the big rarities go, the higher the general price of records has risen, to the point where we now have 100s of records which used to be obtainable for 20 or so, selling at £100 every time a dealer gets hold of one. There are no more or less of these records around and a lot of people have copies of them, they simply bought them at an earlier point before the prices inflated.

As for Shrine itself, personally I think the records are somewhat overrated, somebody has said JD BRYANT would sound great up loud at a Niter, but it depends on where you place the barometer of 'great'....

Nothing on the label (In my opinion) comes close to touching something from Motown like SPINNERS 'I'll always love you', which remains a 20 quid odd record, but as a piece of 60S dance soul, eptimomises perfection. (Melody, production, vocals, lyrics etc).

Think you all might wanna add Tommy Knight-Dont bring back those memories / Unissued Shrine and Bobby Reed to that list of amazing Shrine productions...???

I know they never actually came out in the 6ts, But Shirley Edwards, JD Bryant, Ray pollard, Carios, Prophets cant be mentioned without them, can they? Christ I'd just love to own a Shrine record, I never have...

Can somebody get the Gasher another bit of Cake!! he looks like he's about to BURST!!!

Totally agree. It doesn't get any better than this in my opinion. When it kicks off a minute in, that's soul heaven.

Edited November 25, 200915 yr by Matt Male

Its all a matter of taste of course, but "This Time" is IMO the standout track on a label full of class tunes ! One of those records that when you dance to it you can truly lose yourself in it.

Well i think it's Mark Speakman's copy and he's posted it on YouTube as Netspeaky, so i'm pretty sure it is the 45. The 45 in the picture is the one playing and he discusses it in the comments. Here's the link

You're right though, there is another version.

Thanks Matt. I stand corrected: it's nice to hear the 45 at close quarters, even through weedy PC speakers.

I think there are three distinct mixes: this one (lots of echo on the falsetto lead vocal from about half way through); the mix used on the Kent Shrine compilation CD and the mix used on the Horace's vinyl LP which (to my ears) sounds quite different again. Am I right in thinking that the latter was done from the unmixed master tape by Eddie Singleton himself before a copy of the 45 actually resurfaced? Perhaps Ady C. or Andy Rix can enlighten us.

I don't have the facility to upload soundfiles but it might be instructive if someone could kindly upload the versions from both 'Capitol Soul Volume 2' on Horace's and the Kent Shrine CD.

I must say I prefer the Horace's mix, but this may be a case of it being the first way I heard the tune. Whatever, to me it's one of the single greatest harmony Northern records bar none. Those who knock Shrine as a label misunderstand its appeal I think.

YOU F###ING WHAT??????

thats just my personal choice,if every one liked the same thing what a shite world this would be

Prophets best soul record i've ever heard. Probably one of the best pieces of music i've ever heard full stop. Could gas on endlessly about how good it actually is, but i won't because i'd end up boring myself. Chewed Mick H's ear off about it in Asturias, sorry Mick

Edited November 27, 200915 yr by mulf

It starts with a crescendo for flip's sake....you get the falsetto lead and yo think it can't get any better, then when the second vocal comes in its game over. Plus its got one of the eeriest backing tracks ever committed to vinyl.

There, i've started, someone else finish
