Ric-tic

this record is real, ive had this since before tow away zone or i need you were played at the mecca before there was intrest in diane or creative funk, recycle did get one or two mecca plays in the time when there was so much new stuff every week the item has dissapeared because this topic is a year old the price as i remember was £300, ive always known this was rare but that surprised me

mel not the b side of sweet wine, recycle was a year earlier 73

i have the old mecca classic Fay Hauser's "Reaching Out For Happiness" promo 7" single on Sattelite Music International from early1976, whte promo disco mix at seven mins plus,small hole 33rpm, have never seen another copy

thanks sunnysoul when i saw the link i was praying it would be stealing moments but this will do nicely

come on be fair! he never mentioned tommy hunt once

i may be wrong but wasnt it little gary ferguson , there was a mecca play from him from the early mid 70s on mothers records 'a mothers love

hmm i was there must have been walter jackson where have all the flowers gone........? answer- first record at va vas was duke browner crying over you

yes but not for long, most of these companies trade through jersey but after preasure from the u.k gov jersey has askeds them all to leave within a year,play .com wont have to as its a jersey business

youve surprised me i thought this was gonna be at last, great record ,for me best on 12", was u.s promo only

no tony c it wasnt this may be a bit hard as i remember there wasnt too many in at the beginning and it was all a bit chaotic, i remember the bouncers carrying a guy out [from the early session] screaming bones sticking out of his arms i never realised slade had that effect on people

thats right A.O.T.R wasnt played at the beginning. o.k now everyones rivited by the sherrys trivia and everyone can now sleep heres another.... WHAT WAS THE FIRST RECORD DICKIE PLAYED AT VA VA'S

when i first heard this at the casino i was in the record bar and thought what the f**k is this and stepping back inside was even more gobsmacked to see the dancefloor full, ill get flack for this but thats the point i thought this place is becoming like a circus, john vincent said on here the casino had 2 good years and id agree with that, it was the mecca for me after that, not to say i stopped going cos i didnt i still went but from then it was getting a little silly, there said it

cheers TABS excellent a disco site[ ] i go to has members posting links to utube rather like soul-source members are doing here and soul train owners are pulling them off faster than they are going on, no we wont release them and you cant even see em

this was a mecca record and it was really rare at the time i remember searling begging me for a copy i had, in truth if there was still a demand it would still be as i think people forget the avco-embassy is a 74 reissue originals avco, this worked at the mecca but i dont think it did at the casino due to the different sound systems this can be said for a lot of records at the mecca you heard them as they should have been heard yet at wigan many came out as a muffled noise, yeh this really reminds me of the mecca, older members may remember marc on t.v there was a programme comedy called julia about a widowed mother, marc was the son and Diahnn carroll was the mother, late 60s cheers for posting that up paul, im in the fan club

i need help the detroit landapples therres a copy of hip teens in manships auction funny old world

thanks mike the whole thing thats the one but ive still got it in my mind theres one more yes ci ci great record but that was from when the label was reactivated in the 80s theres lots of releases from then but not of much interest to people here bar dmx affair mind you creative funk 12's look nice enought to eat! no probs mister

martyn i think time is playing tricks with your mind thats the label yellow black, no boy, and the black stuff i always thought was oil coming up out of the ground.

SOULOF theres no 321 on mine [the copy that 'may' be dodgy] just12006A as opposed to CF12006 II [ II probibly refering to the mix] this is getting more a mystery by the day if the other is legit its a puzzler why would a label that was on its knees [and it was almost over by then] print so many different labels anyway one more for the discog 12001 moving world/breezes- creative funk i thinks that just leaves 1 more

where is john grant now i hear you all ask, i believe he went to cornwall and became a harbourmaster

firstly i need you was never that easy to find as a new release, it initially sold as a new release for £4 then you really had to scrape round to find one,the spoken intro is actually a totally different mix released on the same number 12006 with a redder label [not to be confused with this light purple promo we are talking about, copies of tow away zone also exist with this redder label and they are legit. heres what i can find, im sure i have everything but cant find a couple 12000 ready made family-creative funk diane jenkins [vocalist]/funk power creative funk-bell distributed promos are black and white 12002 tow away zone/anniversary-diane jenkins 12002A recycle-diane jenkins/12003A gee baby what about you-diane jenkins 12005 im a woman/ sweet wine music and my imagination-diane jenkins 12006 i need you/inst-diane jenkins 12008 before the next teardrop falls-the limelights/theme:before the next teardrop falls-creative funk orchestra theres 2 more i cant find one will be wisdom-nefertiti and the other i just cant think,thats it i think for the creative funk 70s series recycle by far the rarest tim brown has one at £300 then i think i need you comes 2nd last time i looked manship said £40 id say that was a bargain i have a spare i need you for a spoken intro trade, i had one once and sold it i really dont remember i need you being booted but this white purple one to me looks dodgy i have one here but have never played it as im not set up after moving house,but looks dodgy to me apart from the matrix nunbers being different creative funk promos have promotional copy on the left and not for sale on the right,this one is all on the left. i had a letter off deek deberry in 1975/6 i think i was trying to blag i need you,again i have it somewhere but cant find it at the moment,but deek was having none of it he said he wouldnt let any copies out because of problems with bootleggers in your country which at the time i wondered what he was on about,as i dont remember any titles being bootlegged at least in the 70s,he then told me stuff was going to come out in the u.k,told me about the company and said diane was off touring the south ,im wondering if she ever came back cos she was never heard of again

i think it was a really heavy night at wigan the night before i was in the foyer when the tavares left,they actually ran out i think they expected to get mobbed by screaming fans, they didnt one of them looked back as he left the front door with a real puzzled look on his face whatappen

yes it is, i go there a lot and i see you in many forums, barry's a good guy

i remember when this was pressed in 72/3 soul galore records in birmingham used to play it a lot in the shop, this guy from one of the other stalls goggle next door hated it, all day youd hear him screaming 'get that f***** record off, then one day he totally flipped bursting into the stall saying if it was ever played again hed stab everybody to death! he meant it too,everybody saw he meant it and it was never played again,later in life you can kind of see his point! was a very big record in its day though

i used to use it a lot years ago, it was more popular with the americans when paypal had a bad name [before e.bay took over] last time i tried to use it about a year ago it wouldnt take mastercard and buyer pays fees, and all that typin'

dont think it is? but it was on that early goldmine double, i have it somewhere it had a gold cover with 70s in the center,may be deleted though that one....soulful kinda 70s [just had a brainwave]
