The last couple gone through ebay ended at around $200, will do this one for 100 euro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwhO7k_LFnM[

LOVE THIS

another one

This one's always been one of my favorites in my 'wol' part of the collection. Valentine's Day 1969

I know that Notorious guy from Vegas has done some releases on Prix, but I'm pretty sure the Joe King hasn't ever been booted by him.

You gave me a chance and that worked out pretty well, didn't it? ;)

bump it up... anyone?

Any idea on the current value of the original press of this?

Yeah those big heavy stabilizer pucks. Seen a couple people using them, seems a bit silly.

After a reasonable priced, decent playing copy of this one. Anyone?

Good dancer tune there, that a cover-up?

My regular once a month club here in Copenhagen is largely the same kind of deal, very young crowd who know nothing about the music or culture that it comes from. It can be hard at times, and I certainly get bothered when someone comes up to request some asinine pop drivel after I've just put on a rare tune I love, but certainly it has its rewards. It can be extremely impressive seeing a room of people who wouldn't know a £5 record from a £500 all dancing in their own style. As Manus has said its nice to play to a crowd without the baggage that comes with the "scene". My taste and collecting goes from R&B clear through to Modern, and a young crowd who just wants to dance to "soul" won't get bothered too much if your plays get a little adventurous in mixing sounds. Best of all, when a 19 year old gives me a thumbs up or a high five over the booth, it gives me a little hope that the scene here can come back into its own and out of its slumber. I love playing to a room rammed with soul people, but thats a rare occasion without traveling, and I think both scenarios have their merits. Best of luck with the new venture, get that crowd pumping on some good ol' rare soul!

Believe RZA has sampled this for Wu-Tang at some point. Killer groove.

Sweet side is so infinitely better imho, would be what the folks would be after it for I'd guess. Not a bad find at all.

after this one at the moment, VG+ -ish or better, please and thanks!

really, spill the beans Paul!

Quite tough, Pointman. I turned mine up in fairly rough but playable shape in Denmark of all places - though it did come from an American mate here who's an obsessive digger when he's back home, most likely came out of New York somewhere.

Nice early one of his on Lock-Key for the R&B/Popcorn crowd, love playing this one out Oscar Perry - Big Sam
