Matt Bolton's Vinyl Quest

[Paul Welsby]

Young Matt asked....... >Perhaps someone can tell me how much Vernon Green and the Medallions - >A Lovers Prayer (Dootone) is worth? I know it must be a lot, but since it's >the BEST record I've heard in a long time AND I've got first refusal on it I >am willing to fork out for it. I think this record is the ULTIMATE Hideaway >sound. I hope nobody's heard it. Paul, can you help me out here? Amazing >early R'n'B. Don't know the track. Is it a doo-wop(ish) sound ? Did you hear it at The Wilton ??  I believe that Vernon Green & The Medalions are a fairly well known late 50's doo-wop act and Dootone is a doo-wop label...so....I dunno. I think the boys played one of the Rock'n'Roll weekends a couple of years back so the track may be known on the R&R scene. I've checked with The Oracle (M.Warburton esq) and he says "no more than £20" !! The Master has spoken. PAUL
