Raremusicdirect Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I know not too many have come onto the market, but how rare is this record, in reality ; any one know what the standard press was - presume they are out their somewhere ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Parker Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Perhaps somewhat inferior but if it's good enough for Butch then probably good enough for most of us. Me, I'd like a copy in the collection. As I said..I had the Milton James and really liked it..had to be tempted really hard to let it go..hence the Walter and The Admerations In fact I did clap eyes on the Milton James again when I was DJing in Valencia...it was on Marc Forrest's turntable!!!

Ady Croasdell Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 has Milton James been booted?They'd better not, we own it. Who was that company that pressed Little Johnny Hamilton Keep On Moving on a UK 45? Did they do it? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Marc Forrest Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 a friend of mine here in Berlin has a live recording (tape) of famous LA radio discjockey Jim Pruter playing this in his show back in 1967 introducing it as an great oldie...being so popular with the Lations down in LA..."Gone With The Wind" that is and not the flipside...wow. Must have sold hundreds if not thousands at a guess if it was classed as a popular oldie back then already.

You must have heard Butch play MJ at 100 club, aaw, it's awesome mate You're right, Walter got plenty of spins. It was Mark's ace in the hole record late 80's and early 90's when I got back into Allnighters and was one of the records that really hooked me. I was at the 100 Club when he spun Milton first, second, third etc and he really had to work hard to break it. If I recall, once he called it 'Indian Music' and another time he said something like I hope you dance to this 'cos it cost a ******* lot of money.

pow wow mik Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry Beji, but it's one of the best allnighter records of all time. The atmosphere when played at a packed club in the early hours is something to behold. Fan friggin tastic. Just the first three notes would have everyone rushing for the dance floor. Shivers down the spine just remembering it. Agree with that, it's a complete beast, rare or not. I'd 100% play it and dance to it if it was a £50 record. think I tried to buy yours Quinvy...in some distant past when I had money 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

George G Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) That's really interesting - although here in the US radio play did not mean the record sold. It's possible that the low riders were just hearing it on the radio and asking it to be played for dedications. I've seen radio charts that have now rare records charting high locally, but still only handfuls of copies around. People calling/requesting does not necessarily equal sales. a friend of mine here in Berlin has a live recording (tape) of famous LA radio discjockey Jim Pruter playing this in his show back in 1967 introducing it as an great oldie...being so popular with the Lations down in LA..."Gone With The Wind" that is and not the flipside...wow.
