That is terrible. Must admit I do like some of the J Dilla, Dj Dez type of things but not this. Cheers Phil

Hi Ian Yes it's a great track. Have played it out quite a few times over the years in Manchester. Think either Alan Darker or Dave Hulston also used to play it out in Manchester too. Cheers Phil

beat me to it! one of my fav xmas tunes. first heard it at westhoughton cricket club xmas do many moons ago. best ever is choker campbell -on magic city - i'm going xmas shopping with the quirky santa goofed and fell through the roof on the flip! merry xmas folks phil ps - just got in from "mad " friday in thurso..........so a bit tipsy.

Enjoyed the clip thanks for posting. Makes me want to get over there again not been since about 1996.....but work gets in the way.Doh! Cheers Phil

Hi Chris Hope you well. Think before you and Shifty found them was possibly about 5 known copies in the UK. Rod Shard and Alex Jones found 3 mint copies I think was very early 9ts (Alex kept one, Butch had one I think and I got one). I remember talking to someone about it at possibly the first cleethorpes and Andy Davies was stood next to us and said he had a copy that he had from the Bowl a few years earlier so that was the four I knew about at the time. Think Tim Brown got one a few years later. Agree its a great little tune that has taken a while to eventually take off and I'm glad to see that it's going for this sort of cash. Take it easy Cheers Phil

aye up lenny. hope you well. agree better side - first time i'd heard that cheers phil

Aye Up George Put a donk on it! LOL Hope you well - might hopefully catch up when i'm back in mcr at easter. On the remix front - agree the dimitri from paris mixes/edits of originals are pretty damn good. Take it easy Phil

Not sure if twisted enough - crown heights affair - streakin'. Cheers phil

Hi Rod Hope you well. Yes the Minors I got off you early 9ts. You might of had it covered up but can't remember. I had the Soul Bros Inc of you (Carl W got now) along with Red Coats Revue on Salem too. Cheers Phil

hi ian one i've always like is Honey & The Bees -Jing-Jing-A-Ling on Chess cheers phil

hi gasher try superfly records outta portugal they've got one on at 50euros cheers phil

Hi Steve Hope you well. Hopefully I'll get down to Greatstone if I am home when it is on. Yes both sides great think Richard S plays the other side occasionally on the radio - well he did yonks ago. I'm sure I've spun it as an ender at Gstone too. I'll have to ask Alex how many copies he's had. Take it easy. Phil

Hi Got one a couple of years ago off gemm for about £15. Someone told me it was played covered up as Melvin Davis or something but don't quote me on that. Think Beggsy sold one for about a ton over a year ago. Cheers Phil

hi tony not much to do up here in the far north of scotland except watch tv, surf the net and enjoy the scenery can't wait to be back in mcr for civilisation - record shops and clubs cheers phil

hi the track is you did it by ann robinson on all brothers cheers phil

Nice record. Also came out on a red born label which is what i have it on. Got a good few years ago possably off soul sam. Sorry not for sale. Before I got that copy my mate Skelly lent me his copy to play out in early 90's. That wasn't water damaged but there was lots of spelling mistakes in the typing. Try Alex Jones I think he had a blue one for sale. alex.allamerican@lineone.net Cheers phil

Hi I got the Robert Tanner early 90's on a trip to states. Came from Lew Stanley. Sort of semi interesting tale associated with it. Was over with Alex Jones and the hire car was playing up. So Alex dropped me off at Lew's then went to get car sorted. I had the cheap Temptones on arctic - Lew wanted it and offered me Robert Tanner. Deal done before Alex got back! - but he did get some great tunes as well. Sam and a few others did try and get it out of me before they secured copies a couple of years later. Couple of others for the list Soul Bros Inc- Salem Minors-Lonely Boy Chuck Vallent and the Prophets - Damon Acetate Sophisticates - Underground Sounds Some of Alex Jones cover-ups - Plays one called "Hangin on In" great Tune and many more. Cheers Phil

my copy of out of sights has N.Parker in run out groove. Think it was Keb's copy that Nigel Parker then had and sold via Rod. Also had a couple of records off Mick Atherton (Skelly) that had Steve Vickers little quip on them something along the lines of "steves top pop pick" or similar - not got them now but one was connie questell on decca. cheers phil
