Hi all , Just been playing through some odds'n'sods and put Chubby Checkers "Looking At Tomorrow" on the turntable. I'd forgotten just how good this record is , and how i personally have NEVER seen it on an issue before , mine being the common-ish W/D. Looking on popsike revealed 3 white demos and only 1 issue copy ( that had sold back in 2007 ). What's its current value and availability please "Soul Sourcers" ?

tia ,

Cookie.

Incidentally .....that was his last single on Parkway.

Great lyrics from Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann - Mann released a fair rendition himself on Captol - but not as gutsy a performance as Bunny.

Extremely Rare as a Stock Copy, I have just acquired a West Coast DEMO,

wonder if there's a West Coast Stock Copy out there waiting to be found.

EAST COAST DEMO

Here's the elusive Stock Copy, An East Coast Parkway.

BARRY MANN on Capitol

I'm sure thats the 1 i bought, not sure i like it now tho

the white demo is not that common but i dont think its worth a STACK. i struggled to get £40 last year for one

You did well, I had a spare of this a couple of years back and just about managed to get 20 quid or there abouts, Tis actually quite a tricky one to get.Great record tho.

'That' was his penultimate release on the label. Chubby closed his Parkway account in December 1966 with the excellent dance track Karate Monkey (P 112) as opposed to 'Looking...' (P 105) which came out around October 1966)...

Roger saw your post ages back and been meaning to get round to scanning in my issue copy of chubby checker looking at tomorrow. West coast issues are rare, a lot rarer than the white demos for sure.

Loverly West Coast Stock Copy there mate.

Since my original post I have managed to track down an East Coast Stock Copy - Neither are easy on Stock Copy.

Nice East Coast issue there as well!

Yep took me a while to get a west demo ages back and sold that for £40 and managed to get hold of the issue for much less so lucky and happy at the same time!  Fantastic tune and some don't realise just how rare the issues are with this tune!
