Chalky

yes t'other week but as usual I've forgot what the title was....must invest in pen and paper as memory bloody useless

Can't see for looking

Dunno if he has, not on his site, no scan in rarest of rare. Have seen one before, never had one.

sounds like a pretty versatile group

something doesn't look right about them

Don't talk b*ll*cks. If someone has taken the time and trouble to seek out undiscovered and unknown records they are quite rightly IMO entitled to a bit of exclusivity from such records. It can often be a lengthy and expensive process finding new records, records that benefit the scene to try and halt the steady decline in the scene and stop it becoming stale so the DJ should at least get some benefit from them. A record covered up, especially when a good record stimulates the scene and collectors. The mystique surrounding it gets people talking, gets collectors searching for more, gets the dance floor moving and progresses theis scene of ours. As for the poor artist, you do talk some crap at times, if the DJ or collector hadn't gone to the trouble to find the record it would probably be never heard. The real artist will come out eventually when it's uncovered or someone finds another copy or two (if). I'm all for the artist getting due recoognition but I doubt very much the artist 't gave two hoots about dancers far away in the UK when he took his money for doing the recording in the first place. One record covered up for a while will do no harm at all, maybe even the opposite. Cover ups always have been and probably always will be part of this scene.

excellent post Ged couldn't have put it better myself

Seen Talmadge few times this year for around £100/£150..but it does seem to be pretty in demand i recent times with fair few asking about it.

that would be tellin but someone I know was offered them when they first came about

She certainly was. Recall reading she was Judy Clays sister She'll Come Back got spins mid 80's from Guy and bit late from myself, not sure if I bought his copy

Earl Gaines - Fruit From Another Mans Tree - Hollywood Benny Latimore - I Can't Go On/Rain From The Sjy - Blade Freeman Brothers - You Got Me On A String - Int. Allied Jimmy Armstrong - Your Getting Next To Me Baby - Brothers 3 Jimmy Braswell - I Can't Give You My Heart - King Ella Washington - Grass Always Seems Greener - Octavia numerous from Eddie & Ernie flip over those dancers, often find ballad or deep on the flip

worse

Butch's Gerri Taylor - It's Beautiful, his Profiles cover up, Exceptionals ( I think or something like that), Martha Jean Love......Is the Rainy Day Butchs Masqueraders Tony? Can never remember the title Butch gave it Andy Dysons Johnny Sayles, Jan Jones, few others but Andy doesn't always put a name to them and some I can' remember Mick H, Carla Thomas...He's a newish cover up but the name he's given it escapes me Belita Woods was discovered by Andy Dyson along with Rita & Tiaras. Yes

not any more but there are still plenty of other cover ups

can see (well hear) why they canned it

wonder why they never recorded it maybe cause it's worse than the one they did record

Shifty's

oops...i'll read it all next time

I'm sure there was a clip on the Scenesville website?

On ebay...May this year $995. Few other copies on ebay last couple of years ranging from $724 up to $911. Has one been on JM auction. Above don't reflect the price it would be up for on set sale

Keb took some beating IMO, great to watch.

nope

same as your taste Colt 45's doesn't come close to Jimmy Burns (IMHO), Colt 45s is like already mentioned...a mess (IMHO). Rate nearer the £300 than the £200 mark. If see one Billy will let you know.

I knew of one for sale just the other day but it has now gone to good home

don't think he bought it in the end same for everyone...you takes your chances when buying rare records, you never know who's got how many. don't think the quantity showed themselves till after the one Butch bid on and they foolishly (some dealers would say) let it be known by offering multiple copies and mailing under bidders, few had mails.
