nice record..think there was a batch from the label owner some years ago,,some guys got copies..mark baildon . brett franklin,, had a few plays as well...still very rare..not sure on price was £500 at one time.....

[NEV]

A Jason yoder discovery and a Lars Bulheim spin first .

Most or all copies came through Jason from Indiana .

Amazing record and a very obscure label that I've never seen anything else on .. Flip is a very poor version of a well known record ,that has escaped me ?

[Bridgesoceity]

Brill, my kinda choon  

[Mark B]

Sold mine this year for more than £500.00 don't think this will ever turn up in volume, Paul Havekin still has his copy, think muck and mo have one also, used to get plenty of plays at the Greatstone.

[micky gynn]

Thanks Nev for the copy you put my way a few years ago.

Got my good friend Phil to remaster my copy and it sounds stunning with the headphones on.

I don't think £500 would tempt anybody to sell this wonderful tune.

Is that the name Mr Smith uses now ;)

[Mark B]

Lol ipad text for you well he is a plasterer

[Marc Forrest]

It was only a handful of copies, wasnt it ? I remember at the time I got his last copy. BUT NOW its for sale 650 GBP

[Mark B]

Wasn't many think nev had 2 or 3 that's where mine came from, I know bob Cosby has one think Keith money may have one, and Paul still has his, also Brett and mick and mo. Not sure maybe Dave Ripolles. So not many copies nev will confirm this but think they came from the producer.

I had and sold five and Lars must have had as many ..i'd put the total to at maybe 20 copies .

Amazingly Lars sent one to John Manship to auction and it only hit about £400 if memory serves me right ?

[Marc Forrest]

Think you are right there Nev, but not as amazing as the result I got for Gino Washingtons first record which was unknown really before...a massive 25 GBP .... but it went to a friend and he bought me a coke when he came to support me at That Drving Beat LOL

Some things get auctioned too early, I think Rey Villar was one. Me and Dave both have copies out of that pile that surfaced.

Was yours in a trade with me Jordi ?

Think it was mate, can't remember what for now?

Probably something you didn't need and something I no longer have

[Docfish]

I had 4 copies. One before the small pile popped up and three from Jason. As Nev stated, I gave one to John Manship and he indeed got not much out of it, Marc got my last copy. Jason found not more then 10 copies of this, he had it out of the hands of the producer if memory serves me right. I doubt, that more copies will surface in the future. Nice record, but the arrangement is a bit weird.

[Dave Pinch]

there will be other copies somewhere in a little box...just a case of where they are hiding.. hopefully not too long ..how long since the 1st lot surfaced.. gotta be 5 year or more..... seems like it

Keith deffo has one and plays at the 100. Sounds great imho.

[Guest Brett F]

They aren't in a box , the box has been discovered, if you weren't in the loop then it's passed you by...

[Paul McKay]

For me a Mr Paul Havekin spin as that's where I first heard it and another Greatstone fabulous tune.

 

It may have been played before that but I first heard it from Paul and what a tune it is (in my opinion) crossover magic.

 

I can honestly say just about every time that I have played it out somebody has come up and asked what it is which just shows what a fabulous underrated tune it is.

Hi Keith

The first person to play it at the Greatstone was me and if memory serves me right ,we both dj's there on the same night ?

I first played it at the Coschman in Darlington before being invited to play at Greatstone .

I used to deliberately spell his name as Ray instead of Rey ,to throw people off the scent lol

I also got Paul and Mark their copies ,but I heard it two yrs previous to getting it ,from a good friend who already had it and was kind enough to share it .

I contacted two other owners ,Butch and Lars for leads ,so i think them two were first to play it out .

Micky Gynn was the first person I sold a spare to .

[Keith Money]

Hi Nev,

 

Thanks for info, I always like to hear record stories about who discovered and played them first so apologies for getting it wrong.

I remember that night very well when we were both on and the brilliant records played all night which was normal for Paul, Tony, Mark, Budgie and yourself.

 

I think when I got my record it was the last copy that came from the original source as I had to buy it from Switzerland (I think) which is where he had moved to and he said he didn't have any more.

 

Anyway a fabulous tune and thanks for playing it.

[Hammersoul]

Great record,i first heard Bob Crosby play this at Essence years ago. i remember the pile that turned up and missed out cos they all went quick via private deals . Nev offered me a spare for good money and i turned it down thinking more would crop up and price would drop.....Wrong...

Next one went for double on ebay via Germany and after that didn`t see a copy for 3/4 years till Nev sorted me out a few years back .
