Guest inspirations001 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 you would be lucky to get change out of £1500 (that's if you can find one!!) top tune tho! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 you would be lucky to get change out of £1500 (that's if you can find one!!) top tune tho! Yep - top tune. One of the best in my view. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

wolfie66 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Cheers fellas, knew it was going to be a few quid - my all-time No: 1 though, so I'd better start saving. Actually got it on vinyl, an old Soul Supply LP called, fittingly, "For Collectors Only" Not the same though Thanks again Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest NS101 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 are we talking about "I dont like to lose". Of course we are. I creamed when a copy came into my possession in the mid 90s. Under a ton i sold it for. Interesting story bout that disc. Loads of copies available in somebodies hands. Wouldnt sell. Place closed/went bust or whatever. Several 100 copies vanished, poof, just like that. Probably binned! Instant 2 grand jobbie nowadays me-thinks. Wigan monster covered up as something rather stupid i think, circa 78 wasnt it?

Pete S Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) It's not worth 2 grand. It may be the most perfect Northern record ever made though. There's nothing this record doesn't have. Edited September 17, 2008 by Pete S Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jumpinjoan Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) I must be the only person on the planet that doesn't like it then? Sold one for a mate about 15 years ago, maybe more, for something like £150 which was about right for then? Perhaps a little cheap... maybe. £2,000? As they say, its a mad mad world.

Prophonics 2029 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) I use to think it ended in the 1812 Overture but its actually Penny Lane. W/D? I have a few complementary handouts on the label so yeah no W/D Edited September 17, 2008 by Prophonics 2029 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Moore Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I thought there was a WD? Demo? Issue Top one is just a 'bad' pic of the issue I think. I've certainly never seen or heard of a W/D. Would be glad to be proved wrong though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Top one is just a 'bad' pic of the issue I think. I've certainly never seen or heard of a W/D. Would be glad to be proved wrong though. Yep the green insde the P is a bit of a give away and the lettering running round the outside of the bottom half also. Rest of the label looks pretty white though..

wolfie66 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 "Haunting" - that's the word Peter, perfect, it's been haunting me since I first heard it - and Simsy, if you want to send that dodgy-looking white copy down to me I'll give it the proper 'once over' if you like Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulsider Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Dead right Pete. We were saying this on Prophonics thread last week. It's a stunning fookin record for sure - it's a haunting record. This record defined the main ballroom at Wigan at its finest. A truly awesome sound, thumping beat, tortured vocals, great break. Breathtaking soul. This set the standard for me. One of my all time favourites. By the way did I say I liked it ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
tim smithers Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 900 to 1200 for a minter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest inspirations001 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 it was deffo richards biggest record,amid all the mire of the time this and "christine cooper" saved the day! having said that i've seen it played to a handful, so i suppose you had to be around to appreciate how massive it was,handclaps and all! would it fill the floor nowadays? probably not, but it ushered in a whole host of top tunes from richard,kenny gamble,eddie day, jackie beavers, court davis etc etc,and for four years, no one,and i mean no one could touch him.

De-to Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ............Then uncovered rather unceromoniously, much to RS consternation . Russlong time ago but im sure my old mate kev draper from huntingdon found a copy of this 45 in the usa and played it at a peterborough all-nighter not sure of the year though but much to r searlings annoyance, imo i think r searling got a lot of mileage out of that tune, Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest inspirations001 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 i think kev draper got his from soul bowl,after arthur fenn got the 2nd copy. it was kev draper who uncovered it,much to richards annoyance.all water under the bridge,he bought it so could do what the hell he liked i suppose.he got the noteriorty out of it,would have got a lot more if richard would have got hold of him yeah he got mileage out of it, but pleased all us lot to death for a few years,still one of my top 10 tunes Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest inspirations001 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 yeah he said, but don't know if anyone got a real close up look.richard had the b side to court davis with no paper on,i clocked it once but didn't really see it. was herbie williams for a few more years! i was there the night arthur was talking to richard and turned and said,"so what if it's the fooking group feat cecil washington"!! and just walked off.

Guest ZTSC Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) It was "Joe Matthews" on Kool Kat. ZTSC stamp was rumoured to be out of the Dearborn area!
