After picking up a copy of June Conquest 'Almost Persuaded' on Fame for a tenner I thought it would be interesting to start the following topic:

What cheap 45 purchased recently blew your socks off?

I can't believe how good my recent find is and for the sum of only 10 English pounds!

£10 English pounds will also get you a copy of Barbara Green "Young boy" on Vivid. Top drawer female mid-tempo, very reminisent of of the other Barbara, Ms Lewis. Got one last week, well worth a tenner IMVHO

Qiute right Pikey! Vivid was released'62/63. Renee was '68, I believe, and is a couple of ££ cheaper.

A Guy spin at Stafford, covered as Laura Green. I paid about £30 at the time, and I wasnt even earning that per week then.

Great record.

I've mentioned this one on another thread, but it fits nicely into this.

Johnny Nash - You Never Know - MGM

I picked this up for just over a tenner, couldn't believe it. When I first heard this I thought it must be dear as hell. It certainly sounds it, big production mid-tempo dancer.

If this had have been on a different label who knows......

June Conquest is excellent.. my favourite recent cheapie would have to be Fontella Bass - Lucky In Love.. also about a tenner. Closely followed by Carl Carlton - I Can Feel It which I got for £4.99.

i've said it before and i'll say it again.. that Carl Carlton track is just too good timeless, pure and great northern IMO

One cheapie that blew my socks off (even tho i had shoes on :o )

Alvin Robinson "bottom of my soul" (Blue Cat)

Just got ( yesterday at the Toronto record show ) mint copy of Robert John - Raindrops - A&M for $1 canadian, also

Freddie Houston - Chills and Fever - Regency and 2 45's on the Holiday Inn label from the same dealer for $1 each.

Can anyone give any info on the Holiday Inn label, both 45's are decent soul but not Northern.

Total purchases were 68 45's at an average of $2.50 canadian each!!! Acouple bought blind were filed under B for Bin but lots of nice stuff.

The Independents Arise & Shine, released on the mottled design Wand label in 1974.

It's been around a long time & is a seriously underplayed record that can easilly be purchased for under a tenner.

I bought Little Milton "I Know What I Want" on Cadet at a local record fair recently for a fiver. Very nice record.

Oh, and I got an LP that I left behind loads of times before and thought I ought to finally get myself a copy after hearing a track at A New Chapter at Smersh, London earlier this month. Al Wilson - La La La La La La La La La La La La La Peace Song for a fiver too.

I recently picked up Is it possible by Chuck Overton (kapp) for a fiver. Well worth 10 times that amount musically if you ask me.

ANOTHER CHEAPIE WELL ABOUT £15/£20. IS "THE FANTAISIONS"-UNNECESSARY TEARS NICE LITTLE DANCER. B SIDE AIN'T HALF BAD EITHER-THAT'S WHERE THE ACTION IS.

Talking of June Conquest, check out her Gem "All I need" on Windy C, perfect mid-tempo with June showing she has the voice of an angel!

Probably the record that has knocked me for 6 most in the last 12 months is Patti drew "Stop and listen" on Capitol. This is one perfect Northern dancer, I`ve had a few copies and knocked them out at £30 but always get loads of calls for it.

I`ve been asked to write an article for one of the magazines highlighting cheap but good records and I`ve been giving it lots of thought lately......

Chris.

PS, How about both Startells records on Lamar?

Billy Butler - Help Yourself on Brunswick, superb. About £20 but sounds far more expensive!

Cheers

Chills & Fever brilliant but on Old Town - Whats the Regency label or am I just being dim ?

Oh how good that just is...but 20 is not only not a really a bargain, I think it is also a bit over the top. Anyway, as I said, great track

She did another one "Our Love Is No Secret Now" which may also like then...

That Fontella bass - lucky in love is excellent... check out her I can't rest...

Fabulous Dimensions - I Can't Take It. I ain't really a mainline 6ts fan but I can't understand how this doesn't get played. Maybe it's just not 'rare (?)' enough? People, keep selling 'em and I'll keep buying 'em!
