FOUR TRACKS-CHARADE-NOTE-MINT-£300

One of my all-time, all-times - hope I still have mine - it's well buried somewhere - bought from Ian in Shropshire for £15 back in 1986 - wonder whatever happened to him? He used to supply Soul Sam with a lotta his then goodies - anybody remember him? Really softly-spoken guy...always answered the phone with a 2 syllable, over-pronounced "he-llo".......very good dealer....

Mint @ £300 is a blooming good price for this - a proper record...

Steady on Ian - you'll be accused of talking the market up!

I live in reality mate not the hotbox insanity LOL.....£300 is a great price for that record but it is one of my all-time faves! Sure doesn't seem to show up that much.........

Had it a couple of times in the 70's and 80's grrrr.......

Mark, you mean Ian Faulkner. Sam put him onto soul when he was in his class at school (true). We were talking about him a few months ago - told me he is still around in the Horseman's Green area around Bangor / Wrexham, but is no longer "active", preferring civilian duties such as mowing the lawn and painting the gate, to record hunting these days. wink.gif

Fabulous record which never quite broke for me in the 70's! Always loved it - beautiful production and catchy. If Lee Fields is £750 then this should be £1500 IMO!

Repeat this 20 times, over and over...

Lee Fields is NEVER a £750 record

Lee Fields is NEVER a £750 record

Not really fast enough for a hot box sound is it? unsure.gif

They have to be UPTEMPO and MANIC Ian. This is smmoooooooooth soul.

Well in that case my remaining 6 copies of Joe Bataan's "Contintental Square Dance" on the Sales thread should be bargain of the century then (shameless plug but if they want fast they've got it with that one)!

So mid-tempo shuffling is not in vogue right now then LOL......?

Yep had one myself back in the 80's - I don't know where it went. I certainly don't have it now. I think it was a bit easy come easy go in those days.

Doh!

Thx Steve - exactly - Ian Faulkner - that would have annoyed me for days - I used to love seeing his List drop thru the door - he had Daybreak for £7 in 1986 and I musta called 30 / 40 times one morning trying to get him on the phone - me and 200 other punters.. sad.gif

Wonder who got that? Come on - own up? It was well-over £100 even then, I think? Correct me if I'm wrong....

.........happy days...

This is smmoooooooooth soul.

May I add "Quality" into your right description making it

Quality Smooooooooooth Soul

I think mine went to Pat Brady in the late 80's along with about 200 other prime 70's goodies which I now look at with envy on various lists LOL.....

I think I may have got £20 for the 4 Tracks and a tenner for Delilah Moore on Middle Earth back then, ouch!

Got to agree with everyone on the merits of this record. Hypnotic, moody and memorable. Not so sickly sweet that it ever grates; this has got to be classed as one of the great 1970s Northern records. Not too common either over the years so I think £300 is a more than fair price, especially in a market where Lee Fields can be a £750 auction item.

I absolutely love it too, was totally chuffed to bits to have finally got one after looking for one for years and never having the funds when it came up. Have we all managed to sell it for you John?
