Lenny, if you don't want to pay the grand plus for an original, it has been reissued which should cost you less than a pint and a pack of fags.

Hi Lenny

Hope you are well buddy. My copy was in the first small batch that Jason from NC turned up. Very few have turned up since & I have never seen one for sale on the 'open' market. A very hard record IMO & I would guess at about 2K, but I'm not certain.

Thanks Russ...but Nina?.. :)

Think you're getting me mixed up with someone else... :thumbsup:

Manship got just over a grand not long ago i seem to remember

Hi ted, if you are on about the copy he had last year it went for sth like 2.5 / 2.8 K if I remember correctly. Not to me, it stayed in the UK..

Thanks Russ...but Nina?.. :lol:

Haha -

Hi Lenny; hope you are good my friend (Cleggy??)

- Dave Welding is the man with the plan on this one - i think only 100 were ever made to start with - i am sure when he sees this he will come on...

no marc, it was definitely closer to the 1k mark, as was tim's copy :lol:

Hi Russ.

Mr Dopson is on here, spreading roumers (sp???) about allnighters at the Glastonbury festival, with the user name - Len.

I first heard this whilst I was still living in the US. It would have been about 2007 maybe. JP played it on his annual NC college radio show. I'm sure this was totally unknown prior to this.

If I remember correctly on the show Jason didnt say who it was, but it blew me away, so I contacted him to see if he could ID the track & hopefully help me track a copy down. JP confirmed it as RR & said that the copy he had played on the radio was RR own copy & it was the only one known at that point & was in very poor condition.

JP is a legendary digger & collector in NC & maybe 6 months later he contacted me to say he had found a small batch, 5 copies I think it was, my copy was one of those. Others went to collectors in the UK & I believe JP would have kept a copy for himself also.

Since then I know that a few other copies have surfaced, but not many.

Hope this helps, I think Jason is on here, so might clarify.

im sure one didnt get any where near what i thought it would go for cause i missed bidding for it

you are right Ted, I mixed that up with the copy one certain DJ sold when he was selling up...that was the amount his copy sold for.

no marc, it was definitely closer to the 1k mark, as was tim's copy :yes:

you know that I really hate to disagree with you mate, but tims copy went in his auction around summer last year and it was over 2 K.

Andy Dyson had some copies a few years ago. I was offered one, but I thought it needed an instrumental break in it as it was full on vocal all the way, and a bit repetitive, so I declined. (Doh!!).

maybe he had two then marc, i was offered a copy that he said hadnt been paid for, we agreed on 1k and i sent the money, at the eleventh hour tho the other person paid up and i had my money returned, he never mentioned the auction copy :yes:

There was a copy at buy it now at £2k from a UK seller recently on ebay. Not sure if its sold. Guy also had a certain £40 record up for £2500!!!

As far as I'm aware Andy D had the first handful that came into the country. Under the impression they came from Roy Roberts himself? Probably via Jason.

I did hear of some reissues, look-a-like, dunno how true.

I think so Chalky, at least one of the happy people who got a copy back then once told me that Mr Roberts told him that these were his only and final copies..

I'm pretty sure also that those first copies came over from JP via Andy D. I was told that it was recorded in Nashville after RR left NC to have a stab at Country Music, this was spose to be his last soul effort of the period.......cant check label details as I'm not at home.

I thought it was repetitive too Jordi :yes:. Such a long time ago now :yes:

I heard this via jason about the same time and then shortly after I heard it played in the UK so i'd agree jason was first onto this.

he deserves a lot of credit for the stuff he turns up not just this one record.

I thought it was  repetitive too Jordi :yes:' />. Such a long time ago now   :yes:' />

Simon..........try & be positive some times mate, it gets a bit tedious, respect you & your opinions, but recently every time a record is discussed it seems to go the same way........some will like a record, some wont, I was just trying to state the facts as I saw them & to be honest RR has not been over played IMHO.

rUSS

Its not a bad record Russ. Twas just my initial thoughts . I actually got someone else to buy it and he was very happy with the purchase :yes:
