I've just heard this on a Gospel CD and it struck me as being totally Northern with a great production and a great wailing lead vocal. I was surprised to see it was released as a single on a label called Calvary. Anyone got it or heard it and what's it worth?

Hi Ian,

got that 45, since the track was brought out on a compilation by the numero group it got some attention and the price went up, i'd say it goes for about 200-300£ and it's really hard to find, sadly the 45 isn't that good produced and sounds really thin over a sound system, but love that tune!!!

the label is really good looking, too......

cheers henning

gotta be £3-400 i would have thought my mate bob cornock has got one great tune....

Absolutely.....used to see this fairly regularly between $25 to $100. Fairly tricky to find a clean copy.....decent tune for sure, but never quite understood why anyone would rate it around 3-400 quid.

The killer track on that CD, for me, is the Universal Jubileers "Childhood Days".

A storming slice of Gospel Soul!

And very rare as a 45.

Just a great compilation (IMO).

reason i quoted that was because the last one i saw went for £400

Sometimes people like to quote records more expensive as they generally own them..... pretty obvious point i suppose... Paul Sadot i'm sure was the first person i heard playing this though i may be wrong abnout that, i have a vivid memory of dancin must be a few years maybe ago to this... I'm sure Paul can confirm this...oh TUNNNNEEE!!!

I used to play this regularly at our George Jackson! soul nights at Smersh. I think this was around 2004. It was also played when Garethx and I did a George Jackson! guest night for he late Jim Demetriou's Soulcast internet radio show. On the show it was covered up as Satin. Of course very few people were interested in it then. I found the 45 in a shop in South London. It cost me a fiver.
