The kenny Gamble the last one I saw was £150 but it could have been issue, not sure if there is a difference either way as it is obscure. Used to play this one out in late 80's early 90's. I sold it for £75 years ago. Not sure of a current price to be honest as not really seen that many or been looking/taking much notice. -
I don't consider myself any different to anyone else who uses this site except I help out on the looking after side of things. My age matters little but I'm 44, been collecting and listening to rare soul and attending venues for some 27 years or so. I think that gives me all the knowledge and experience needed to collect and to DJ, I've DJ'ed all ove the country, whether I have been to this venue or that venue matters little if you ask me. I dare say I've more experience than many who went to Wigan, Torch etc cause many had 20 years off the scene. I've bought and sold records for most of those years, some of my best mates are record dealers, I still go to venues that have record dealers and DJ's that go to listen, Lifeline all-nighter has one of the busiest record bars in the country but I fail to see what this has to do with how good you are at DJing or whether you can DJ with or without a cheque book? At the end of the day it is mostly down to knowledge. Both Butch and Keb were/are 100 Club residents so that is probably why the Southern lot mention then so often but they were DJ's all over the country. PS I know Notts Odd Fellows as well so you don't have to explain to me, I'm not that young.

Both sides of Matt Brown been played since the Stafford days. I agree with you though you can't really compare the two records, both good 45's in their own right.

just tuned in for an hour Dave, will sky+ the rest I can't listen to

So many from all era, oldies two of my all time favourites... Invitations - Whats Wrong With Me Baby & Fidels - Try A Little Harder oh & The Javells Later on Mello Souls, Diane Lewis, Parliaments (Rainy Day), Tommy & Derby's etc etc etc.........
-
I've been converted to the Javells Nev
-
Butch from Stoke, Keb is Scottish, dunno what that has to do with being southerners? What does the venues you frequented have to do with collecting and deejaying?
-
Matt Brown - Sweet Thing/Thank You Baby? Milton Parker good record but Matt Brown p*sses all over it

Maybe some thought this was going to be the next FW in terms of value, I didn't expect it to go anywhere near that, I did think it would have made £4k though. Think the thing with FW is on Soul it is the original and only way to get it on US. The UK release was done purely to satisfy demand on the back of the plays the US original got at Wigan. JLTW had already had a US release and as said this one on Bunky, done from the same plates just a different label looks to have been done for the Non US market? regardless someone is happy bunny right now, I would be with it in my collection. And where is Sue with his interesting story?
-
Shake Sheri? Yes Andy Dyson and Butch have a copy, told Ian Wright also has one, dunno of any others. You can have a listen at https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/blog/ Andy Dyson selection

Great post from Paul Franklin and really how it should be but as we know it's not always the way. All too often the focus is on a DJ who spends thousands and gets talked about, that in turn creates a buzz and draws people into venues. It matters little that he might not be able to put a set together just the fact that amount he spends will get the no over someone who uses his/her knowledge and puts together a thoughtful imaginative set. Some of the worst sets I've heard are the most expensive simply cause they were disjointed and didn't flow. Individually great records but the set all over the place. Some of the best sets I've heard have consisted of some of the cheapest records. Knowledge is a big factor, you can always fall back on that when either the supply dries up or the cash. The likes of Andy Dyson and Butch today, for all the rare records they have are not afraid to chuck in a cheapie....not long before it shoots up in price though As much as the rare expensive record is king you have to throw in some cheaper stiff, nothing worse than keep going up to the decks to see what a record is and to keep finding out it is beyond your reach. I also think the promoter has to play a part and begonia to use some imagination when booking DJ's, get the right DJ for his/her crowd and not always go for the cheque book DJ.

It tells you at the top of the page in post one, and the article is the Soul Source Article this topic is taken from, link in the first post There is a read taken from Lou's site about the history of Gloria, Jimmy, The Tiaras and the new record label.
-
I must be out of touch Dave, can't find it right now but sure I put one on Andy D's list year ago? Seen it in at least two sales boxes for around that and not sure if been on SS for around that. Stick em in a sales box and you can't shift them put them in an auction and they fetch more than they should in the real world
-
I know It says so in the article
-
I presume downloads will be available on the 15th. I did a quick look for some soundfiles but unfortunately couldn't find any. I'll buy the downloads me thinks.
-
I was agreeing with you Joan
-
I would agree with Russ in the real world. £900 does seem a lot. It's tough but not like there hasn't been any copies on the market.
-
Some posts removed and closing this for now, some just can't resist stirring it.
-
Gene has already agreed to help move this forward by posting his original post and we can start the debate again. I don't like closing topics if it can be helped. Further comments like yours, Dave's etc just continue the arguments, that is why I've asked them to stop so we can try and move forward and have reasoned debate once the original post is reposted.
-
I've a couple of photos I think of Delreys Inc and they are black too.
-
It was and is addressed at everyone Dave, don't be so sensitive. We are attempting to get back to serious debate and get away from the mudslinging and posts like yours and KevH's are not helping.

Kingdom Come Forever Records came into existence as of May 2011 and the owner is Lou Barreto. Lou has been around the music business, not only as a writer but as a record producer and promoter in conjunction with another producer, Rod Bumgardner (also a writer). Both of them were the producers for all the songs on the CD album that features Gloria Jones, Jimmy McFarland, and the Tiaras. Lou wrote most of the songs on the CD album, but Rod and Nick Drury were the writers on "You're My Man." Lou drop out of the music business in February of 1983. Lou said, "the Lord God" spoke to him in February of 1983 at 7pm in his apartment. It was just a few words, "I open and close the doors and I control everything that you are seeking." Lou said, "He flip out in one thousand of a second" and from that day on he became a Believer in Jesus Christ with one purpose, to pursue the will of God to do the will of God. It was the Lord, it was the Lord and there was not a fraction of a doubt. It was the Lord, the un-invited guest that spoke to me. Amazing. It's been twenty eight years since that amazing moment in my life. A miracle. The music era of my life sort of came to a halt from 1983 to 2008. To continue with the story of Lou's involvement with the music business, Lou, back in the year of 2008, had nothing better to do than to do an internet search on one of his songs and up came several of his songs. To his surprise, the songs were very popular with Northern Soul crowd in the UK. From that moment on Lou became involved with the music industry trying to collect back royalties from record companies that had his songs on many albums and Lou became more involved tracking down record companies that were exploiting his tunes. Eventually Lou became involved with the formation of new record company in 2010. He decided to go back and examine what tapes or vinyl he had on Jimmy McFarland, Gloria Jones and the Tiaras and what he could do to release or license the songs to other companies for distribution. Lou made the decision to form Kingdom Come Forever Records back in the year 2010. Lou made the decision to create a CD album compilation featuring Gloria Jones, Jimmy McFarland and the Tiaras. Gloria's version of "Gone With The Wind is My Love" was lost and forgotten some years ago. In June of 2010, Lou and Rod Bumgardner found the vinyl recording of Gloria's performance which was recorded at Nashville West Recording studio and when Lou heard it, he said "Wow." He finally, after4 months, made contact with Gloria Jones and got together with Gloria in Los Angeles in November 2010 to sign an agreement to release the song. Gloria was excited about the song as it was being played. Gloria said, "It's a blessing from heaven above." Gloria is still musically active & known in the US, Sierra Leone West Africa, UK, & Germany for "Tainted Love" and many other songs that are listed on YouTube. The Tiaras performed the back up vocals for "Gone With The Wind is My Love." Gloria currently resides in several parts of the world-United States, West Africa and she is involved with the creation of a new school of music to educate the younger generation in Sierra Leone. Gloria is still available for engagements and performance on TV, Radio and stage. Gloria has been a very busy lady and looks great. She also has a son Rolan who is involved with the music business as a performer in the LA area of California and another son who is married. And Lou discover another song that was lost and forgotten years ago. It was Jimmy McFarland's original "Blowing My Mind To Pieces," with the Tiaras doing the backup vocals. . Jimmy's never released performance is powerful and exciting. Not only did Jimmy record the original 3 minute version, but also a new arrangement which is on the CD. The CD features both the original and new arrangement. Jimmy is very active in the music business as a performer in the San Antonio Texas area. Jimmy has recorded many tunes over the years from "Lonely Lover" to "You Make Me Feel Like A Man." He was also the lead singer for the Los Blues Band and played various instruments. Jimmy is still available for engagements and performance on TV, Radio, and stage. The Tiaras are also feature on the CD with their performance on "You're My Man" and Love's Made A Connection. Their performance speaks for itself. A blend of soul with a touch of Rhythm and Blues. The Tiaras are from the Orange county area and some reside in Los Angeles. The Tiaras performed all the back up vocals for both Gloria and Jimmy. The song You're My Man" by the Tiaras really sounds like a winner. It has to be heard. Edna Woods of the Tiaras, back in the 80's, also performed with the Ikette and Tina Turner back I n the 80's for several years-touring with the group in the US and the UK. The songs by Gloria and Jimmy has never been heard by the general public music audience or radio jocks-including the Tiaras song "You're My Man."Kingdom Come Forever Records will attempt to promote these songs as new releases to the general public since the arrangements on these songs can be consider as current with today's sound and message with a twist of Soul, Rhythm & Blues, and Pop. The CD Digital Downloads will be purchased on CD Baby and the Physical CD can be purchased at Kunaki Distributors via Kingdom Come Forever.com website....... -
£75 to £150 I've been spinning this for ages, great record. If a bigger name got behind it the price will shoot up.

You say Nolan Chance different to Frank Wilson cause FW got released, well so did the Nolan Chance (as you will know), and as said they used the same plates for the Constellation and Bunky press. I agree it's different class though. You say it's worth £4k upwards, it isn't it's worth just under £2700. And given John's record of achieving higher prices via his auction one wonders if it would have even made that anywhere else?
