Am guessing these are the same record , with one being a mispress title ? Anybody ever seen a promo ? Do they differ in value ?? g.gif

Two different songs - 'Lazy' is well rare and many bought 'Lady' thinking they'd got 'Lazy' other side is the same though....

another of those Stafford tunes...

As mentioned above two completely different records. Funnily enough I dug "Lady" out the other night after not listening to it for years and it still sounded awesome: great downtempo Northern with a great hook and soaring orchestration.

"Lazy" is appreciably tougher to find but in my opinion not in the same county quality-wise. An expensive Prize Turkey.

B-side on both is the fantastic "I'll be Gone".

Never understood anybody paying the premium for 'Lazy' over 'Lady'.

The best side anyway, IMO, is definitely the flip:

TOMMY TURNER - I'LL BE GONE -

After all that I prefer I'll Be Gone !!!! innocent.gif

Great record, but for anyone dj-ing in at a soulnight/nighter "Lazy" would be the one to play, as its the best dancer!

Stafford sound if I remember correctly?

I like all three but LAZY's the one I've heard the most. Which is strange as it's the rarest. Kept hearing it played a lot in the Lancashire area in the early 90's. And in my opinion not an "expensive prize turkey" as is claimed earlier in this thread. Sorry, but I like it.  I'll 'plump' for this turkey....

In retrospect I was too harsh. It is also a good slice of gritty West Coast Northern Soul, but from a value for money point of view I'll go for the cheapie.

I bought Lazy from Butch about 7 Years ago for £350 when it was a big niter sound.Bob Hinsley used to play it a lot, It used to go down a storm whenever i played it with plenty of people enquiring about it,as i dont think it was too well known.Mick H took it of my hands when i decidedto sellup. £500 if i remember correctly. what a tune.

Definitely no turkey !!

One of my all time faves and still in the playbox for the oldies sessions.. all 3 tracks great though.

My old copy from Dick Coombes now with Ady Lupton.. got one back on here very reasonably.. 400-500 for a minter..Tough !

Do you still have it and do you wanna sell it I'm looking a copy ?

still have it - did think about selling up collection about 12 months back but decided against it as i couldn't be bothered to try and load everything onto cd - or really have the heart or the need for the money

also never know - i might get asked to come out of retirement for the odd 60's nite locally - i still love the sounds and get them out of the box once in a blue moon

as for tommy turner - no idea it was even being played - but i wouldn't sell the odd record no! it would be all or nothing i think sorry!
