Prince Ella & Sidney Jones - Baby Sugar I Love You - Prince Label (Pink Original)

I remember this having a brief, floor-filling 15 minutes of fame at Wigan around 1977 and I bought it then for a quid on the yellow boot which was easy to get hold of for a while. Not many people seemed to like it and it failed the test of time it seems.

Has anyone ever seen a copy on the Original Prince (pink) Label? I've checked both Popsike and Collector Frenzy and no sign of it.

It's an Original 45 I'd like to own. It books at £600 in JM's 5th Edition but appears to be rarer than many four figure records that turn up (from looking at Popsike) all the time.

Many other SS's waiting in the wings I wonder so that if one ever turns up then it will go for a small fortune?

By the way, if anyone has an Original then 'small fortune' waiting!!!

All of the youtube clips show the boot as well!!!

will be watch this thread with interest- love this one , raw , stompin' slab of rnb - perhaps the time to right to hear it played out ?

I'm sure Manship auctioned one about a year ago.

Great record. liked the other side too.

I accidentally bought the boot a few years ago for the other side. Probably because I hadn't seen an original and didn't think it had been booted.

You're right, even on YouTube everyone posts up the orange/yellow boot.

Here you go, the (better imo) flip side.

Thanks Matt....at least I now know that there is actually a shadow to chase!

I've had this since a few months after it was released:

I sold one about 5 years ago. Came from a member on here. Sold it for £400 I think.

I found a pink original on Bradford Market circa '75 for 10p.

I ve had two over the years and played it last weekend to a great response at soulshakers bamberg weekender love it, both sides

great tune

Got mine off Jim Wensiora when he sold up years back. Great stomper haven't played it for a while though.

Sound file anybody?

There's at least one in Australia too Brooky - I bought it for 100 quid about 8 years ago, primarily for the "Cut You Loose" side although the top side is also excellent. It gets played more at home than it does whenever I DJ - can't seem to squeeze it into my sets although I think its still danceable.

Cheers

Sound file anybody?

Baby Sugar is a dull stomper not worth listening to.

The other side is way more uptempo but not much better.

This is why it didn't take off.

You forgot the "IMHO" bit Pete

No need really, people can see that :-)
