Guest Brad Hufford Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I recently purchased a record price guide (Manship). I have a record that looks to me rather rare and pricey that I was hoping I could get more information on. The artist is Vikkie Anders on The Cream Co. "I Need A Love So Bad b/w Crook Your Little Finger. I can't find much info online about the record other then a few references to it being a rare Northern Soul tune. I'd loved to know more about the artist and history of the record. Thanks, Brad H. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Carl Fortnum and Butch the only two copies I know about. Carl has had it years, got it from Tim Ashibende I believe, loved "I Need Your Love" side since I first heard it. Butch got a copy off eBay I believe a few years ago. Either may comment if they see this. Edited May 26, 2017 by chalky Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Denbo Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I meant any further? That said, you can add a third copy to the list now after I found a copy in the States back in 2017. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Denbo Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Is there any chance that Vikkie Anders might be Vicki Anderson? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I didnt know who the artist was until I mentioned it to Tim and he filled me in about the Cream copy that he found. I later bought a Cream copy on Ebay from a guy who had bought Rene Hall's storage unit after his death. Rene Hall was the arranger on this record and a multitude of other records. The A-side, 'I need a love so bad' is written by Bob Relf and the B-side is 'crook your little finger' the same song as Anne Heywood's version. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

But it did finally get onto the shelf of possibilites, as I did more European bookings. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Didn’t you play “ Crook His Little Finger “ at The 100 Club recently Butch ? I thought it was Ann Heywood at the time .Cheers Eddie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
