Each to his own but for me this is a really good record, great Philly, and proper mid tempo Northern, looks great too. I think that’s a rare record. I for one would be beside myself to find something like that, that good, and unknown here in 2022. The one I had, (which I think I paid £8 for)which is the only one I ever had, went to I think Kenny Burrell, and even then it was a long way North of what it’s just sold for. When I priced it I worked on the principle I’d probably never see another one, and based also on what I knew of the history of it not being around. There was a time when you could have gone to John Manships and found a small clutch of those on his racks for not much money. The context there is that on the same racks was a Jimmy Gresham for pocket change which I eventually bought; we’re talkin mid 80’s. I agree entirely with my man Butch’s comments about the gender issues. I actually said to a few people recently that I think a lot of folks have lost that classic girl group Motownish Sound from their heads, and sadly have little respect for it, never to return. As for out of tune, hmmmm, interesting. I never really heard that in it, but well it never seems to have done Del Larks or Salvador’s any harm, both of which are iconic Northern Records, and goin up in price almost by the hour! Nobody EVER mentions that about those two great records, lol.

You know there’s a mint one in Discogs with a U.K. seller for £230??

Around 1980 / 81 I think, Keith Minshull and I went on a trip out to visit Neil Rushton (we were always goin somewhere looking for records). Neil had got into some of his other projects and was looking to sell some of his surplus stuff, so he invited Keith and I over. I remember us looking in his garage I think and finding a bunch of stuff, all of which was cheap....pocket change really. We got Louise Lewis with a promotional sleeve (still got it), a proper original Sandy Hadley, maybe some of the Mutt titles in quantity and a load of other things, including an oddball looking thing by George Pepp, It sounded ok and seemed to have something without necessarily striking us as out and out Northern, so we I bought it, coz Keith wasn’t really bothered about unknown/ oddball stuff but I was. I then passed it on to either Gary Rushbrooke, did Dave Thorley I think late Wigan, early Stafford time. The rest is history. I’d never had it before or since.
