Hi buddy, still a great little tune, pricewise mmmm not really to sure these days £400ish maybe.

Chris, defo matt black label a minter between 400 to 500 but not seen one for sale for nearly two years.

T

Done from the original stampers by a band member I believe. Has anyone ever compared the 2 together label wise, cos & I know this sounds a bit weird, but I cant work out if my label is shiny or or matt.....even matt labels can have a bit of a sheen sometimes......

Also, if memory serves me right (?) wernt they found in the bottom of the guys wardrobe or summat, so I always wondered if they were a rerun done not long after the original press, as opposed to being repressed more recently for the NS market......anyone ???.

Best Russ

Just went on Youtube to have a blast of this, as I havent played or heard it for a while........its really a brilliant slice of Carolinas Northern Soul.........dont do it Paul .

i cant do it Russ im skint but could trade possibly this is a tune thats always got me inside somewhere and would sit nice in me collection me thinks

Best Russ

i think your right russ i kind of remember that story too, some peeps are saying dont touch the shiney labes thay are boots and there is diferent markings in the run out too i think, does anyone really know the truth

Bearsy, my copy has the following DL-0016-B then 25 B (where the B appears within a circle) and music city stamped in the run out.

Hope this helps.

The shiny label copies were done from the same stampers as Russ says although don't think they have the music city stamp the originals have.

Crock O Sh*te IMO....far better Carolinas records out there than this.

Sorry trades/wants not sales but has also for sale possibility.

Roy Smith's the singer and also credited on the labe. I have another by him called Soul Control, sounds like Tom Jones so I ask is it blue eyed soul?

Wasn't it Lil Peddler (forget his real name) who had all the copies that turned up, he was feeding them out for ages.

That's the guy Chalky! Julian B. Fowler is his real name. All the copies seem to have dried up bar the last one (allegedly) his sister has!!

He wasnt really feeding was he.......he f*ckin flooded the market........however, there was another US dealer who actually had been feeding these out for a while before Lil Peddler, but it is my opinion he didnt know they were represses, he just thought he had stumbled on the old stock from a band member & was 'managing' the sales.

Best Russ

must be 5 years ago since lil peddler was selling em on ebay and if they were represses ,,, to say how many they sold even these dont seem to surface nowadays

dave

Lil peddler's Wife's sister is married to the bands drummer so i think that the sales were coming from the same source!!

They were, but I dont think they were aware of each other initially.

Russ

Hi Russ, I bought a used copy off julian with the stamp in the run out and sold it about 5 years ago I rang him about a year ago to buy another and as I stated he told me that the sister had the only copy and she wanted to much for it but I think they knew what they were doing regards the sales! just my humble opinion mind! but I don't think there where as many copies as people seem to think. Still wouldn't mind it back at the right price. Best wishes john.

Sorry John, I think I have confused the issue, I agree with everything you have said, but I'm sure there was ANOTHER dealer who had found the drummer too & who would get copies occasionally & well before Julian started selling em - with regards to the amount, I agree with you there also, my guess, as I mentioned earlier, was that it was a repress done years ago , as opposed to being done more recently, just a guess tho.

I cant get any more info from the other dealer tho, as initially I dont think they were aware of the repress & sold these in good faith, therefore wouldnt want to tarnish thier reputation.

Hope I have put this a little clearer.

Best Russ

Not all the copies that flooded the market were represses.

I differ in opinion about the represses Russ. I personally think they were done after the record went big, dealers source the group or members of the group for copies and with the drummer having access to the plates pressed more up. I doubt it was old stock? Was the record ever popular back in the 60's, so much so one member did another run of the record?

Cheers russ! Certainly dried up now though! That said if I bought it now I would probabley never play it out, but I guess it was Right at the time! Atb John.

I've tasted this bitter pill too Dave.....too many times to mention

Roy Smith's the singer and also credited on the labe. I have another by him called Soul Control, sounds like Tom Jones so I ask is it blue eyed soul?

Roy Smith was the main man behind the Delphi label Tony. In the 1960s he produced, arranged and played keyboards with the Georgia Prophets of "I Got The Fever" fame. He WAS white, but his voice was great IMHO.

I Got The fever is a real guilty pleasure of a record - total poptastic stompathon. And the Oxford Nights is great too. Pretty sure I saw a pic of them once and they were like 8 bearded hippies in tuxedos.....seriously

Its only a guess Chalky based on some information I was given at the time, which of course could have been a red herring anyway.

One up for trades the other day, though he wasn't interested in a Guitar Ray swap.

Just another bit of info on this, I first heard this from a great tape, well before it was widely known (unknown ?) from the LEG - END 'Ion the Greek', what a man & responsible for many a great tune, a great NS character, who I still see very occasionally, but is sorely missed by the scene methinks, we need more people like this on the scene, true soulful, passionate innovators..........

I got it fairly cheap early on waaaaaaaaay before the 'glossy ones' turned up en masse...absolute screamer of a track...a real nighter record....can't understand anyone that enjoys dancing not liking it!

The Dream Team...that is indeed another story.

Edited October 14, 201113 yr by Flynny

it was Shifty that was selling the dream team 45's en mass,

Edited October 14, 201113 yr by Mal.C.

I think Shifty was moving them on after most people were aware that there was quantity.

Didn't see a glossy one till after it became a popular spin commanding a decent amount of money.

He was he bought up what was left I believe.

Until he was advised against it .

Lew still has stock......

Excellent track! Love that organ riff! Never fails to amaze me how cavernous? some of these songs sound. George Blackwell probably a better example-sounds like it is actually being recorded in a cavern!!! Think thats why so many tracks work well at nighters. They create that 'larger-than-life' atmosphere. If u know what i mean? :-/. Carl.

Nice picture!

These boys have soul, no mistake about that.

So then If your gonna own this make sure its Music City stamped.

There will always be a question mark over the rest. So how many Music City stamped originals are out there? Not alot i'd guess.

I think you will find collectors will pay alot more for these when they hit the market! If they hit the market?

Love this tune!!!!!!!!

i dont think it`ll see the likes of £1500 again tho

Agreed! but all things considered? We are back to where we where before the unstamped copies flooded the market. That makes them pretty tough to find as an original ! Ouch !!!!!!!

I sold mine. Ouch again!

Brilliant piece of Blue-Eyed Soul, a search of ebay, Musicstack & Gemm have produced absolute zero! Even the 'Ripete' re-issues have all sold out!!

Mine has the music city stamp its also has the letter B in a circle and 25 just before that, it also has DL-0016-B in the run out too.

^{How much would a 'boot' copy cost me?}

The shiny label copies were done from the same stampers as Russ says although don't think they have the music city stamp the originals have.

Crock O Sh*te IMO....far better Carolinas records out there than this.

is this white popular music?

Just checked my copy and it has the music city stamp on it thank god, you had me going then you lot. Had this for over 18 yrs or so and paid £750 or there abouts back then as there were not many others about. Rod was the only other person I knew who had one, I have seen a few more over the years turning up and reading this explains why. Not that I want to but I would think this class soul tune should be still worth between six and seven hundred looking on how prices are at the moment. With a stamp that is !!
