All the Inner Mind 45s on Hot Lead are worth in between £5-£30. Not sure about the one you have as I've never heard it.

I can ask Marc Griffiths over on the Pama forum if you like as I know he is an expert on this group.

That would be great. Also found  Owen Gray - Hurricane/Sugar Shirley  Hot Lead  HL6  any value on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Too late - retired last year! :thumbup: 

 

Didn't think they would be worth much, but always better to ask.

 

Many thanks

Julian

Hey up Julian - Hot Lead was a Dewsbury, West Yorkshire based Reggae label from the early 1970's.

 

Most if not all of the recordings were done at King Street Studios in Huddersfield.

 

I found a handful of 45s on this label a few years ago and not found any since.

After a number of singles on various Pama labels, Ian Smith set up a tiny UK reggae label (Shades) in 1971, with just two releases. Both singles were by his house band - The Inner Mind, one of the very few white Reggae bands at that time. He soon launched his Hot Lead label out of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire in 1972. Eighteen records were issued between 1972 (HL 1) and 1974 (HL 19); HL 13 was not issued.

Beat me to it Derek, I remember seeing these around 1970

probably at the Textile Hall in Bradford.

Nothing on Hot Lead to get excited about I'm afraid.  

I'm sure Little Stevie's Dad had a record or played on a record on the Hot Lead label.

The Inner Mind had a live album on Pama.  They were said to be the best white Reggae band in the UK.
