WoW! gotta be one of the biggest rarities to pop up in a long time. Hope this brings a couple of 50 count boxes out of the attic, then I can have one!

PS worth going for a look just to steal the best quality, full mp3 I have heard of this! Plus the amazing b side which shares the same backing track as the Sweets 'something about my baby" NEVER even heard this before!

makes you wonder what the fuss is about really, and the Sweets murders that B side, which has obviously been remixed from the original backing track, even sounds like a synthesiser on there at one point. I bet this is a well known artist under another name.

Tony go online and find a program called Freecorder, download it and Bobs yer uncle, it records anything you play via your soundcard and it's a free download too

it works a treat cheers

Great record IMO. Ion had the first of these some 25 years ago and since then there's only the copy Butch got off Ebay (which virtually nobody noticed) a year or so ago, so assume this the only the 3rd known copy (which puts me and you out of the bidding Trevski :shades: )

In total agreement about the flip, which I only heard about a year ago - top double sider :thumbsup: .

I can't get Freecorder to work either :angry: but thanks for the mp3s :thumbsup:

While we're on the subject can someone do me an mp3 of The Combinations from the Oldies thread?

Cheers

Have to agree with you Pete, certainly wouldn't swop my Sweets for this, doesn't even come close, nice enough but doesn't have the soulfulness or passion of the Sweets version. :lol:might still have a bid on it though wicked.gif

Is it just my suspicious mind where in his listing he says .....

This record will probably not show up again any time soon, so this is your chance to own it now.

Is his conscience tapping him on the shoulder one wonders :lol:laugh.gif

some years back Rob Marriot had this,sold it to Richard Searling or Soul Sam, along with some other bits, is Butch's copy the same one?

Think the copy Rob had was Ion's, Butch's came off ebay about 12 months ago.

BUTCH got it for 1000 USD's,seems like a real bargain at today's exchange rate(£500.. ish).What's not to like about this record,great memories, sounds more "right" for todays scene than ever. :lol:

i have a feeling that we will be seeing quite a few of these over the next year...i wouldnt be surprised if there are a few lurking in the american shadows right now as a good friend has been offered a copy last night....

bid with caution shades.gif i,m certainly not in the running for this one....may the best millionaire win :lol:

i still think its a very average record :D ... a nice one at that... :thumbsup: but certainly not outstanding in any way shape or form

There's nothing to 'dislike' about it but by the same token, there's nothing particularly outstanding about it - it's just 'nice'

Ion brought this from Brad, then sold it to Rob Marriot for £700 at the time still a one off! Ion did promise me it when I got married but the bugger sold it before I did say I will haha

Proper class, still is and always will be one of my top soul tunes ever thumbsup.gif

How about for mac?

Macs rule Tony! Just follow the instructions I posted earlier, they work on my Mac, a damn site easier than the Pc route! Go get AUDIOHIJACK its free, for Mac's and it converts anything, so when you get 'em to your desktop use AH to convert to MP3/MP4 and puts it strait onto your iTunes thumbsup.gif

listening closely this seems very popcorn bland sounding....great strings and vocals just not very "black music sounding...." when compared to say the apollas/alice clark/margie joseph/ sounds very "mor" to me....asking around it seems like one of those records that people talk about but dont actually like ...is that down to rarity rather than quality.??

good luck to anyone who wants it though shades.gif

only my opinion, but i think that's what's so great about it, it's tune and groove are more outstanding than it's 'properblacksoulishness', which is an often an over rated value I think. In the end, it's a great memorable tune, which a lot of big proper black soul records frankly aren't. First time i heard butch play it i jumped up to dance like I'd known it years. But yeah it is quite MOR 'radio friendly', could be the carpenters moonlighting! :lol:

First heard this mid 80's courtesy of Ion then Rob Marriott who sol,d it to Richard Searling. £150 :lol: in your dreams.

Great record IMHO :lol:

The one on the bay does look a bit new though thats not to say it isn't the genuine article.
