The Saints I'l Let You Slide - Jm Auction

[Jim G]

Up for Auction on JM site The Saints "I'll Let You Slide". As I don't get out much it is new to me, research shows it is extremely rare and a huge sale price I expect given the only I found went for $5500 8 years ago.

 

Anyone know how it was found, anything on the artists?

I f***ing love this record. Don't know who discovered it, but I first heard Butch play it at the first Lifeline allnighter at Sheridens. Who played it first/discovered it?

[Quinvy]

Isn't it a Carolinas record?

Arthur had one then around that time, Andy and Richie Conn got one a year or two later.

A Dave Welding tune for me back in the late 90's. Jaw dropping tune with an equally fantastic slowie on the flip.

A Soulbowl find in the mid 80's, Graeham Elliss had 1 of them & the other went to Butch, I got mine in 93 off Tim Ash, even tho I wasn't playing that kind of sound I had to have it 8-)

 Hi Arthur

Graham's copy later went back to the Bowl and then on to me.

Just a pity that the label design isn't as intricate as the Souls Unlimited "The Raving Vampire"

May have been a couple of years later Arthur, say 92

Yet another great post Wigan era discovery that'll bypass the BBC, happy days indeed.

Another label from Rocky Mount? Funny it's a tiny place in the boondocks but was also home to Goldleaf records - just 2 soul releases but one was the great Chuck Wells outing, let's hear it for rural North Carolina!

You couldn't really get two more different records could you.

 

When I got my copy  I did a bit of sleuthing and found there are a bunch of them state side. It's rare for sure but copies are hiden in collections. It's the kind of record you don't want to move on.

Tim Ashibende found it in the 80s I think on a trip to the states - in the country section of all places !!
