Dave Pinch

was not a fashionable record and i picked up a couple of copies on ebay for £20/25 mark a couple of years ago atfter originally giving dave raistrick £60 5 years ago for it. to be honest i havent seen one since. then suddenly it was on ian clarks list at £175 . and its on the lifeline playlists so it could and should be having its day. a great record and not common dave

are there anymore releases apart from the delites and thornton sisters? dave

bought one off andy dyson years ago for a fiver..........still a cheap record tho innit dave

original one minute was black with anti skate rim. the boot had the same label but looked like an import. dave

i thougt 3/350 but maybe more on rarity. lets prove them wrong reminds me of the bishop auckland rugby club niters. debbie taylors version on gwp is superb only steady mind but cheap and great dave

yes i was there recently. its like alladins cave....... no organization but fun trawlling. i fitted a nando`s chicken shop out and its straight opposite but up a side alley. the alley is next to a kebab house. but your main focal point is the square with a big cathedral or something in it. sorry i cant remember the names of streets. i popped in every day and spent sbout 300 quid in all. dave

was`nt samanthas finisher tony michaels love the life i lead dave

yes i still love it. i like the 2k cd version as well. but then im easily pleased i like a lot o stuff and i mean A LOT O STUFF dave

yeh probably done in 71/72 after uk copies were deleted and really before mass imports for info gimme made no9 on us charts but dangling 0nly 38 or summat like that dave

so did we..........cant afford to now tho...... too dear dave

yes i remember that bri. we looked at that wi a veiw to buy, 50 quid i think but changed our minds when we saw the labels. the `whos that` gives it away its like meeting an old friend dave

would agree with you on the rarity john but if you auctioned a `fine fine` & `ocean` together i think youd get more for fine. in these credit crunch days u might not get a grand for either dave

its a great record chalks............ but it sounds pop and it sounds white im sure not all black singers thought `i cant sound too black or i might not get out of this town` they wanted to make money and sell some records. Obvious point i know but colour not important to a great tune it just seems better when its a big black fella with an afro rather than a little white dude wi glasses dave

if you get offered anything near 75ukp i should let it go wendy dave

bloody hell i had 2 spares of that a couple of weeks ago at 25 quid...... wonder why they sold quickly its a great version tho. b side tears can only make the problem wet is great deep soul and hard to come by dave

i think matt is on about the valentines re issue davie dave

you asked a serious question so i`ll try and give you a straight answer. 75 quid for frank popp although jm had it last week for 150. we all know that this tune came out in 2001 and you could order it from the distributor for a fiver right up until jm auctioning a copy a couple of years ago when it went for 450 or something like . i too saw that valentines on orange and black 77 for 50 and thrice . some confused people eh dave

the original has a great version of `39 -21-46`on the flip. the reissue has `got to be a reason` instrumental doesn`t it dave

im sure pat brady had a red issue in the early 90s. he had £300 on it when it was a £40 demo and i think pat would know the difference between original red stock copies and the special product thingies dave

the uk copy plays the same as the album around 4 mins i think. on the usa copy they shortened it by about 30 seconds. gypsy had other stuff out earlier on rca so i should like to know where this `local` release comes from. it made 70 odd on the pop charts but didnt make the soul charts coz basically its not a soul record ............ its still very good tho isnt it dave

three years is a long time in terms collecting rare soul. a lot has happened in that time. we bought ours from ebay a couple or three years ago for about the same as marc but i cant recall seeing one since. i thought it was worth around the 4/500 mark. but in this day who knows........ incidentally the flip `am i losing you` a cover of jimmy delphs is a brillant slab of crossover and deserves to be played too IMVHO dave

like i said........turns up all the time. should be £150 tops dave

its possible that john had a copy for £30 at one time. his guides are made up from his database. could have been years ago tho. andy d would probably have had one of his own before he got a few copies from ralph. he always had loads of things like this at home to fall back on. i used to be a regular visitor til the wife banned me. . dave

on this uk copy it says 1963. it actually came out in the states in 1968. the uk copy wasnt issued til 1977 dave

it just goes to show what a few plays from the right djs can do for a record. three years ago it would have probably cost 30 quid although never easy to find.tis a top tune tho dave
