The Tempest

I had a clear out a few years ago of bits and bobs I had left from my 7's collection before I got rid of it for good, Iwas more than happy with the price I got for and what I conside red and knew to be dancefloor favourites, but amazed me months later to see them selling in dribs and drabs for ridiculous amounts of money !!! A great and easy bloke to deal with but as they say total salesmanship every time, and hats off to encourage these punters to pay what they do!!

The ironic thing is, I benefited from Wigan's closure ! Having got into the scene as my mates big brother and all his mates were getting out after the Casino closed with endless tales of woe like " Thats it scenes fu***d! , marriage and kids for me , blah, blah, blah !!! They had this terrible sense of impending doom, which was quite scary for a teenage kid discovering this type of sound as they had been around since the back end of the " Wheel " / "Torch " and knew their stuff. I since know nowadays they had just been hanging on to "their " youth at that time and like everyone else had found it hard to move on due to pressures of job / relationships, etc.... Anyway , got some cracking original 45''s out of them at the time for peanuts which when I came to sell my 7's collection later on in life paid for a brand new family estate car, God bless Em!!!! Dragged a couple to Notts Oddfellows in the mid 80's as they were working as builders in the area, but by then, it was an oldies mentality for them and anything "new" especialy the "modern " stuff was purely seen as disco b*llocks!!!! Oh how times change....................

As an album only collector nowadays the Brenton Wood Lp is a bargain price, has gone for double that and more in the past!!!! Also the cheapest way to obtain an "ORIGINAL " Clarence Hill for the time ;-)

The promo copy is the one on the left , hence the two label designs

Great record and yet another forgotten oldie from the Casino , seen it for over £100 in years gone by but last couple of copies for about £30

Bobby Taylor - Sin Aliento ( Taylor Made Soul ) Rare Argentinian Tamla Motown Lp - TML 10014 Featuring : " Don't Be Afraid " , " Oh I've Been Blessed " and a cracking version of " Little Miss Sweetness " Cover / Vinyl - VG+ £50.00 Including p & p Paypal , cash , cheque Thanks

Can anybody give me a current price for this ? Thanks

The cheapest way to own an " original " Delilah Moore

This is also on their " Drummer Man " Lp on Paragon , AND A LOT CHEAPER !!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hDrYkZVGaZg Always reminds me of my mates soul night on a sunday night in a local bar in Falkirk in the mid 80's , getting pissed after a heavy weekend on the allnighter scene , comparing records and travels , then waking up on a monday morning and feeling like crap all day at work , happy days !!!!!

Two questions people ? What's a realistic current value for the original press & and how do you tell the 2005 reissue apart ?? Thanks as always ,

The Fisk Jubilee Singers sang it in 1901 !!!!

Absolute quality , nice one

Great record and so underplayed !!!! From her first " Presenting " Lp on Scepter and Uk Pye for you album collectors out there Also - B side of this : And nice French Ep of this :

Ah yes forgot about that one ! Good call The Seven Souls: I'm No Stranger (Italian CBS) This is the original top side of the Northern Soul monster "I Still Love You". It was written by saxophonist (and lead singer in this occasion) Henry Moore and by guitarist Bob Welch, who later reached success with Fleetwood Mac. An ace double sider, produced by Larry Williams. The Italian copy is highly collectable for the amazing picture of the band.I'm no stranger

Saint Martin Records - "piu Ritmo Che Blues No 1" - Album It's the italian album with this on it ! Still looking for it ?

As an album only collector nowadays that's a bargain price , somebody snap it up !!! saw him perform " Stormy " at Cleethorpes in 2009 , been playing it ever since

Thanks for the replies , I knew " People " had been issued on a single in 2005 BUT always thought it was an Lp track only , First heard it played out about 2008 and loved it then , Any ideas who discovered it ?
