Bo Diddley Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Hello All, I saw this pop up on ebay, thought it sounded good and might bid. On Dottys label, apparently a mispress. NO CHANCE- it went for $1251 with a few bidders at around that level. Any info on this? Is it one I should know about but slipped by while I had a 25 year snooze away from the scene! I'd be interested to know more. Cheers https://cgi.ebay.co.u...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Kev Bod. Edited December 3, 2010 by bo diddley Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mrtag Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Doesn't seem to be any info on this one but at that price someone obviously knows something!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dylan Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Doesn't seem to be any info on this one but at that price someone obviously knows something!! on the text in the auction this was described as an unissued track so prehaps one of only a very few copies out there. Or even the only copy ? I had a listen to it but not realy my style. Even if it was my style it would have been too expensive for me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pomonkey Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Even when there was a discussion on the Dotty's label on SoulfulDetroit - and those guys beyond know their stuff - there was no mention of this Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 It shares the same backing as one of the Platters Detroit tunes too, can't thinkoff hand but possibly 'Going Back To Detroit'. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 It shares the same backing as one of the Platters Detroit tunes too, can't thinkoff hand but possibly 'Going Back To Detroit'. Different backing tracks tho they have some similarities. Lee Jennings sounds brill to me, proper northern as they say... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 sounds good to me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 according to the listing it uses the same backing as Little Roger Hatcher's Dotty's track 'Get A Hold of Yourself', will have to listen again to LRH and compare. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Moore Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Was also watching this (along with just about everyone else I reckon). Great sound, great label, bit of mystique, what's not to like? Condition was not 100% and a bit pricey but someone will be happy! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ted Massey Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 sounds good to me fooking brill smacks you in the eyes hard driving detroit NS Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pomonkey Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 The happy ones (hopefully!) will be the lucky folks at our Syl Johnson show tonite, as well as Syl destroying the stage they'll be getting to hear the Lee Jennings back-to-back with the Little Roger Hatcher, funnily both are kinda mis-presses as the LRH is the one that was found on a Ten High label instead of Dotty's / Del Nita Northern, the strange old world of Northern Soul eh.

Hi, Does that mean one of your DJ's bought the 45!! If so, hope you can tell us WHO and if they have any more info? As I mentioned at the start, there were a few people bidding at the higher end.

Pomonkey Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Not much more info for you sadly, the 45 came from a house clearout in Detroit, was the only copy and no clues to it's provenance before then Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pomonkey Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Platters is the same track but done far weaker, plinky plonk piano and not great vocals - do like a lot of their stuff but not this one Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pomonkey Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 What's on the flip of the Del Northern version? The Ten High one has "I need you" - ie same as the Roger Hatcher on Dotty's, which is a nothing special midtempo ballad - but this Lee version has the whole instrumental of the track which is a real bonus Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Happy to cross-ref matrix marks with your Ten High mis-press if you like, but guess they will be the same. Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pomonkey Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 103A and 103B, also each side has 95, clearly a mistake as Lost Love was Ten High 102. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Same deadwax marks on the Del-La-Northern copy - 103A and 103B plus a 95 all scratched in - then a Nashville Matrix stamp on both sides.
