Someone got a bargain here! John should have mentioned and put a soundclip of the much better flip ("Can you dig where I'm coming from") on his write up. Jordi

Fab Caprices about £100 - £125 now. The funk boys want it for the other side. Jordi

Mine's the same as the Ebay one Russ. Jordi

Take care Phil. Jordi

Was going to have "The Snake" tatooed on my d*ck but it didn't fit on.

WOW! I never knew this got a 12" release. is it a b**tleg? If you don't sell it Eddie, I'll have it. One of those tunes from back then that I loved and wanted but couldn't bring myself to start buying CD's (fool, I know, but it's too late to start now). Jordi

I love Johnny Baker's vocal on Webster Lewis' "Give me some emotion". It's funny though I always think he sounds like Boz Scaggs, or the other way round, either way no bad thing. Jordi

You're right Geoff, those kind of tunes would probably have a hard time on yer average Saturday night baggies and beertowels UK Northern scene, although certain people are pushing the boundaries already, but the thread header didn't mention the 'Northern' scene. A healthy scene which mixes up the eras and genres and has a trendy, good looking young crowd who know their tunes, played on top sound systems in cool surroundings is probably going to outlast the UK Northern scene. Jordi

I used to love this back in the late 70's, but it's bloody long on Contempo, I wouldn't mind hearing it on Delite if it's shorter. Jordi

Have a look at the photos (and playlists) on this link and you will see the future bright and clear and it's not in some working men's club with talc in yer beer and stalls selling Northern soul gonks. https://www.clubfunction.com/ Jordi

Fir-Ya's gonna fly out at that price. jordi

[quote VERY NICE WORDS THANKYOU,MY VIEW IS SIMPLE ,NOBODY INCLUDING THE NUMEROUS CLICKS OWN THIS SCENE ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC,MY VIEW FROM A COLLECTORS POINT OF VIEW IS SHARE THE MUSIC ,IVE COLLECTED SINCE 1979 AND HAVE ANICE COLLECTION,WHY NOT PASS THAT KNOWLEDGE ON,FOR EVERY BIG EGO THERE WILL BE ANOTHER 10 WILLING TO SHARE.THIS IS A GOOD THREAD BECAUSE THE INFIGHTING AND THE SCRAMBLE FOR PUNTERS TAKE THE EMPHASIS OFF THE MUSIC ,MY VIEW IS IT IS THE MUSIC FIRST AND FOREMOST AND I AM HAPPY TO SHARE WHAT I HAVE AMASSED,DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK OF THAT TO BE HONEST! BAZ A

It's actually the A side, and what a beautiful, tripped out, fuzzed up, sweet piece of Latin with the most gorgeous guitar this side of the Andes. I play this side more than 'Too Late' at home. Jordi

The 45's hard to get hold of. I don't think you'd get a decent copy for less than £100. Jordi

The Northern scene's desperation to play anything 'flavour of the month Philly'. I normally love Sam's selection of tunes but when I heard him play this (albeit a different version, but sounding virtually the same, and doubtless tons more money ), I could have dropped. Hopefully he's stopped playing it now, but it will no doubt be played at local do's around the country. It must be about time for Ace Spectrum to be revived. BAAAA!! BAAA!! BAAA!! I sometimes wonder why I bother going out. Jordi

Bloody hell! When did this jump up past a £25 record. Glad I got mine for peanuts. Jordi

Think the thing is that records like the one you're asking about are classed as dirty words by probably most people on here. They represent all that is embarrassing about the old Northern soul scene, and they probably think you're winding them up by asking for it. It's a bit like saying you're into fine art and that you really want a series of pictures with dogs playing pool. Try doing a Google search. The fact that the music makes you smile gets your feet moving will make you welcome on here, but you will have to get used to some ribbing. Jordi

Mark, You've got to keep hammering class tunes like this and G. smallwood. Jordi
