Talk of EP being rare. This has to be much rarer?

Rarer than EP for sure but not impossible. Sold mine to Carl Willingham two maybe three years ago and regretted it ever since. Fantastic record!

top notch tune!!! mr fortnum as a copy but seems to clear the floor when he plays it.....why?

Was that the "distressed" copy you used to have Phil?

certainly a lot rarer than EP, but nowhere near the NS pedigree that EP has, or the far more common Imperial C's for that matter

All about opinions obviously. of the three I'd choose EE all day long, 'distressed' or not Phil lol.

EPs a beltin record; never had it, wouldn't pay much for it myself. Imp Cs great record but not in the same league as t'other two IMHO. (Between us, Ian C and I must've had at least a dozen over the years, rarer issues (weird 'rippling') and demos).

Nice tackle at RAFA btw Bri!

Hi Russ, EE never cleared the floor down here. Always works.

you're probably right.........but why?.......it,s a great soul record..........so maybe some folk can,t or won,t get past oonique blend....or don,t really like soul music

I met a guy in Philly a couple years back who has this and Damon Fox, hates them both, but keeps them as they are "label fillers"

Never seen EE clear a floor ever, quite opposite in fact...

Traded my dollar copy to Butch for Cleveland R Love Is A Trap, bad business but better music. EE just always seems flat and monotonous to me. I prefer her The Change

If it wasn't rare ... what? I love that line. What does it mean?

You'd have to rate it and love it musically first and foremost, obviously, and I do, which I think is what you're getting at Marc. However, isn't rarity / exclusivity or however you wanna couch it part of the mystique / attraction and integral to collecting rare records on what is essentially a rare soul scene? I can think of plenty of rare records that I think are ordinary at best but I don't think people own and/or play them simply because they're rare. Do they? (Some might I suppose; they've got 'issues' and too much bloody money then).

If it wasn't rare I'd still like it, still have one and still play it out. All a matter of taste, obviously, and thank goodness for that. Anyway, I'll stretch to $5 if you've another knocking around Adey.

I beleve Micks copy is a demo ?

Quality tune .

It gets in a groove for sure, but I always want something more from it musically...a sax break or key changes...something, anything to make it really stand out. I need more from the producer and arranger, even though they have a fine pedigree of work under their belts. I have an alternate take of it with a slightly different vocal arrangement, but alas the backing track remains the same.

Much prefer The Change/That's the way it goes on Junior/Scepter-great double-sider and a heck of a lot cheaper!:-). Carl

^{EE was around since late Wigan, Searling played it originally, and I think it's always had a mystique about it, especially as Butch played it for a long time before other copies surfaced. In truth so has the Phil La label got that mystique which I loved collecting - I think I am missing three of them. Proper driving rare soul is EE, sure it would benefit from a bleating sax or something, but it;'s a solid dance record.}

usually marc posts......"great tune"...."of course i,m not gonna sell my mint copy".........so l guess he,s not got EE!
