Gene-R Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) At the time of posting this, there's four days to go and it's already at £181.79. Lovely white demo - but what do you think the finishing price will be? This must be the first demo I've seen of this since I saw Mick Smith playing his copy during a warm-up spot at the 100 Club over 30 years ago! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322005740091?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Edited February 17, 2016 by Gene-R 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I think it will go to a UK collector. Edited February 17, 2016 by Gene-R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winsford Soul Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Fabulous record in my opinion. But I was there at the Casino when it was played. Always have a place in my heart. For a very special if not this most special time of my life. It was played at Willington on Saturday night to a good response. Steve 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

For me, at the time, it was a refreshing change from all that nasty 100 mile per hour stomping shit - it had a sweet, mid tempo feel. It's not a soul record, but - who gave a flying fcuk back then. And anyway I used to love dancing to it. Pierre 1 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Gene-R Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Sunnysoul's post of the original version of Lost Summer Love by Shelley Fabares reminded me that the A and B sides of the Lorraine Silver are both cover versions of the A and B sides of the Shelley Fabares single release on Vee-Jay (Lost Summer Love / I Know You'll Be There).

Guest Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I danced many times to this pile of whale droppings but I agree that it was so right at the time and an important time it was too.

Sheldonsoul Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 To be honest it sounded feckin awesome coming out of the casino speakers, funny how mediocre records tended to sound great coming out of wigans sound system, always remember standing outside and queuing up to get in and hearing interplay pounding out of the main doors fantastic until it got the uk release and playing it on my record player at home it sounded shite lol Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
