Well it's rare enough to not be in any of the price guides.

Hope you got a decent price for it!

Ian D

Hi Ian

There's shed loads of records both common and rare that aren't in any price guides. You just gotta go by what you know and if you drop a clanger, you just take it on the chin.

By the way I charged him a tenner

Dave

P.S Don't know if you know but the lp also came out in England on RCA

Definitely on a 45, sold a copy to a mate of mine circa two years ago, as previously mentioned never thought it was rare?

Dave

or you could go for the rarest of the batch on sinn label ,only ever seen mine on that label,with awsome flip womens man

that also came out on jenges

Mick H

Snap Mick !

Sin version has a more funky backing than the Jenges and Renee versions

Ernest McKinley Kelley - July 24th 1930 to August 27th 2011

Mike Jemison called this evening to let me know of the sudden passing of Ernest.

Ernest had been ill for quite sometime with Cancer related problems, and it was during a routine hospital visit on Saturday that he passed away.

His funeral will held this Thursday (1st September) in Detroit with his body then being flown to it's final resting place in Washington D.C, where his brother Irving and most of his other immediate family live.

Ernest was true all round record man from his early days working at BMI, followed by a stint as a studio co-orinator with Atlantic records. Before being headhunted by Motown which took him from New York in 1968 to Detroit his home of the last 43 years.

Label owner, producer, songwriter, distributor the list goes on and on!

Rest in peace old friend, you'll be missed

Interesting information Dave. Presumably you are sorted for one.

No Mate! A case of the old Mother Hubbards

and you mine Dave crawling

No Ted, Lou Woods asked me to vote for you she fancied a night out in the smoke

^

You're right Nev, but the interesting thing is they went for similar money. How many more will emerge now a couple of four figure auction results are achieved?

It was a vanity press of 300 to start with, Bernard hasn't got any so it depends how many got in land before Katrina hit. We'll just have to wait and see

Willie Kendricks "Change Your Ways" anyone?

Must find that CD Mr corless did for me in 1989

Not the one that self destructed in 10 minutes ,I hope.

Take a bow Arthur Fenn it was your discovery along with 200 copies of :

"I See Love In Your Eyes" on Caiburt

Dave

Can anyone tell me if Audio Arts 700 by the remarkables also comes on an "Audio art' label? I googled it and it's referenced a few places on that label but without photos so I don't know if it's a mistake or not. Also, does the label ever say "with Frank Wilson" or "with Vance Wilson" on it? I know the names are printed directly below the group names, just asking about the "with". Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob

I have a W/D of 700 release on Audio Art, "WITH" Frank Wilson on"Is The Feeling Still There" and "WITH" Vance Wilson onthe "Easily MisLead" side

Dave

let me reflect on that ernie

:lol:

Can you still buy VIM?...they stopped selling that down this way some two decades ago......still got Ajax though...brings all my acetates up a treat...if fact got rid of all that horrid black stuff and they are nice bright shiny metal now.....

Joking aside Dave, with your ventures into record production have you been along and seen the full journey from studio tape to vinyl disc?

No mate too busy chasing people who owe me money like you

Seriously though I think it depends on how the original owner of the actates has stored them as to how they play and as previously mentioned cotton wool and fairy liquid seem to be the safest bet

Dave

If you are referring to the first cutting of the disc (a metal base with a thin layer added of a compound of cellulose nitrate) from the final studio tape then these were never meant for repeat play...in fact after about half a dozen "plays" there are due for the bin! No amount of fairy liquid or cotton buds will restore it.

If you have in your hands a "one off" studio acetate (as they are often called) that never made it to a vinyl press then have it recorded and saved to CD or a vinyl cut so you can then hear it as many times as you like without hurting the original.

So what your saying Martyn is Vim is out of the question then?

Dave
