Raremusicdirect Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have heard there are two releases of this 45 ? Anyone have the scans please. Also which is the rarer / dearer or are they the same value? WDJ or Issue harder to find ? How much to purchase if one comes up for sale ? Thank you krh68 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Most copies were melted down after they listened to it and found it to be offensive to the ears, hence it's £1000+ price tag. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Pay him no mind, top tune. Nearer 2k than 1 I fancy? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ted Massey Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 As far as i know there are no w/d's Guy once said to me he had seen a copy with a different colour logo at the top but that could have been coloured in by someone expect 1200+ still popular and was well received at York where they know good music unlike Wombourne Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 So that's Buddy Smith, Carstairs and now George Lemons.............are you on the right site Would you like to find me the place where I said I didn't like Voices of East Harlem or are you just making stuff up now? George Lemons can't sing. Buddy Smith's record is a dirge. Yes I am on the right site, thanks. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Now you Guys aren't gonna tell me its unsual for an artist to have / be a "one hit Northern soul wonder" I'm sure there was some sort of story about the George Lemons record only coming out because they were mafia/criminal types and wanted George to get a record release.

Or I may be thinking about someone else, somebody will know. He certainly has a Criminal record. It's a while since we agreed so it's nice to say that you are right on above and so right on your opinion of this pile of cack, it is one of the worst records ever, and I refuse to listen to that soundclip to change that opinion, as I am sure it would. At the end of FG (can't bring myself to say the title) when he starts warbling it sounds like Vic Reeves in pub singer stylee, but worse. I think Lemon's mother was a Ma Baker type figure and GL is doing life for killing a police man in a motel shoot out, the full story is on here somewhere, so check it out as my memory isn't what it should be! I can say that the only reason for re-introducing Capital Punishment would be for all involved in this record. Not often we agree Ted..............but you're bang on this time..... I am not sure I can ever remember disagreeing with you on music Mr Steele, but definitely this time. Cliff Steel and Northern Soul hang your head in shame for allowing this criminal record to escape from the depths of the 1cent bargain bin where it belongs to be banged up for life!

Dave Moore Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It's gubbins. Sounds like a newly formed Salvation Army Band rehearsal. Used to go for a slash whenever Ginger hammered it!

Premium Stuff Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) George Lemons can't sing. Buddy Smith's record is a dirge. Agree on George Lemons - a horrifically poor record Buddy Smith however is in my top ten. I love the pace and atmosphere - I love the lisp - but most of all I love it when Buddy sings the lyrics "When You Lose The One You Love ..." so damned bloody fast that you have to stop and work out what he actually just said Cheers Richard Edited September 8, 2009 by Premium Stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
NEV Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 There was a copy of George Lemons on ebay a few weeks back that i watched . Just checked my ended items but can't find it ?? It didnt go for as high as i expected ,but deffo no more than a grand if memory serves me right. Its one of those records for me ,that just goes down well at the end of a good soul night ......and no Pete ,not to send people on their way By the way another of your pet hate records is GEORGE HOBSON i seem to recall P.S Pete, when i was on my jollies in Portugal t'other week,i went to a big festival and was surprised to see The Stranglers topping the night Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Douglas Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Why are some of the most expensive records actually among the worst records ever played on the scene, the following three records are in my opinion absolute garbage and worth in reality 20p each (tops) Frank Wilson - Do I Love You, The Andantes - Like A Nightmare and last of all the daddy of 3rd rate soul music George Lemons - Fascinating Girl. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 buddy smith - when you lose the one you love - Hmmm....possibly...but who would try to fit that many words into such a short space, it doesn't make sense...he definitely says WHEN to start - maybe I should put it on the old slow downer so that the music stays the same speed but I can slow his voice down to 33.
