Joe Valentine Feature

View full article

Thank you Pete, that's an excellent feature on the Great Joe Valentine...

Hi Pete thank you for sharing this complete and thorough article of Joe Valentine, and I am sure it will lead to more people investigating his body of work.   

This Is great feature, thank you for posting 🙂

 

Thanks for this excellent article on Joe's recordings, This type of informative thread certainly inspires me and i'm sure many others to have a dig around and revisit his great work.👍

Enjoyed that thanks. Do you know how to tell the difference between the original and legal reissue of VAL 7225. I do remember a sudden glut of the popular xover record coming on the market and seemed to remember Pat Brady dealer had quite a few supposed to have been sourced direct from Joe. 

Also do we know how many copies were reissued.  It doesn’t seem a rare record now.

Welcome article on a very under rated singer.

The 3 deep cuts mentioned are quite outstanding.

Can anyone help me in identifying an original of Joe Valentine as against the legit re-issue from a couple of years ago please

Thanks vm Mal - I thought mine would be the reissue but it isn’t which is a relief as I paid above the odds....best Paul
