Wiggyflat Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) was a Big tune with certain funk collectors in Oz, probably all over, this used to get played every week on Eastside radio in Sydney back in 2004/5.. Great track.. mal I bought it from Alan Riding who was a jazz record dealer in London 88....he couldn't sell this sort of stuff as everyone was after LP tracks... to me this is northern style funk and just the right tempo.

Dylan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sugar Boy has been on refosoul here for some years masquerading under a cover-up name. Great little record. just had a quick listen to sugar boy as I didn't know it and there seems to be a few ripples judging by the comments on here its received more than any other record mentioned. Its pretty good but not as good as the little beaver I mentioned not in the same league IMO. and i'm sure peggy babcock will love it that tempo is right up his street.

Sean Hampsey Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sorry folks, been out of action, in bed ill, since I started the thread and not been able to catch up properly from my iPhone. Bob, you made me smile anyway and it certainly seems like that at times. Certainly most Soul collectors, at one time or another, have picked up a little known 45, just wonderin' (Hopin') if it'll be the next biggie (...and command the biggie price tag to go with it!). I doubt we've exhausted the thread just yet... there must be plenty more tunes out there that deserve some attention on these pages (if not, we can all wrap up and call it a day LOL). So tomorrow, I'll do a quick roundup and let's see how the list is looking. Hopefully the thread will have ignited a bit of interest in a few choice cuts and we'll be hearing some of 'em out and about in the coming months. So... anymore for anymore? Let's be knowing!

Sean yeah, this is an example of what I was talking about before actually. I have the sock-it release and have been playing it forever. But I don't really have influence over what takes off in the scene, there is some sort of dynamic between DJs, dancers, collectors, etc. that makes stuff take off or not. I kept losing the 77 release for like $50 on ebay (I was just bidding to collect it on the other label). Then it shot up and now I can't get it for close to that. I bought one off sales on here recently but I traded it for another record I needed since I already had it on sock it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Its all good and there's some legs in this baby yet! Just had a listen to the track "Be Your Man"... its OK... the McCant Brothers it would appear... but I won't be paying what it seems to be going for! I like to pick em up for a dollar... and then see em escalate to 20 bucks! Cheers Bob, you just keep 'em coming. Like Russ and Kev said already, your contributions are always excellent!

boba Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 ok, this is one that isn't like rising in price or anything (so nothing will happen with it in 2012) but I like to play this one when I DJ, it's a million times better than the three prophets 45 ... I also couldn't find youtube video unfortunately, but it's billy scott and the prophets on 3P "So glad you happened to me". Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sunlight Square - Skyscrapers - Sunlight Square No danger in any hype lifting the value of these tunes up for at least 20 years.... I just "discovered" mp3s for the first time. The cd player in my car broke and I have an aux input and was like "I should get an mp3 player so I can listen to music". Then I was like "wait, my phone IS an mp3 player". All of a sudden I had several dozen rap LPs that I have on vinyl from the 90s on my phone and it took like 10 minutes. Someone who listens to my show asked me what my spotify account was and I was like "what?" She laughed at me in response. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 And what's happened to T99 Mr H? Not the side they keep putting out on CD's but the dancer side "We got everything"? Mr G, With no title suggested it couldn't be considered a proper Top Tip. Also, if it requires +6 before it becomes a 'dancer' then I'm not sure that would be 'proper' either. However, since you've now provided the title, I'll review the situation. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 that seattle pure dynamite is crazy long -- just under 7 minutes. I thought it must be one of the longest soul 45s I've ever seen but I recently got a jim gilstrap 45 that had a short / long version and I swear it was over 7 1/2 minutes on the long side. Either way, with a long 45 it will be even rarer to have playable copies since they are pressed super low and you need a very clean copy, every tiny scratch will be really loud.
