Eunice Collins - At The Hotel Album

wow. that flute is a piece of art. a very weird piece of art.

I Love this little tune, but wow its expensive and I can only assume this is down to the rarity of the original. Either way, it needs a reissue so more people can enjoy it!PS. if it does get a reissue I might suggest the tune is pitch up to make it just a little faster :-)

Can someone explain to me the flute on the instrumental of this?? I'm wondering if it's so people don't just rip the complete instrumental but it just seems so odd...

Hussel Ali, it's not that I won't reissue, it's just I haven't received the right offer.Eunice Collins

Numero or Now Again also come to mind. . . .

No, and I think it would be nearly impossible to find an unused copy.

I have no copies other than one that was gifted to me from a record label

Better question, because I'm not made out of money, do you have any PLAYED copies for sale, very played..? Back to the topic though, I hope you receive the right offer very soon. There are some really good labels out there right now putting out fantastic reissues of beautiful must hear funk and soul tunes. Colemine Records comes to mind first and foremost because of their dedication to putting out top quality releases in the funk and soul field both old and new alike. Here's to hoping that you and this lovely track get the offer that is deserved.Cheers

Hey There, Do you have any unplayed copies for sale.

What kicks79 said, somebody please reissue this piece of historic soul gold. Having seen some of the stuff that's been reissued lately its unbelievable this hasn't made the cut yet. Hopefully it's not because of rights issues or we may never see this bad boy unleashed.

Eunice Collins herself is refusing to reissue this beautiful piece.

So killer. Someone, please, please reissue this slice of heavy soul.

Thanks Skamhi! Great backstory!

paul-pearson.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-top-song-of-day-2013.html?m=1Eunice: I don’t have a clue about Mod Art Records. I’m a roller skater, and Mod Art was on the corner of the roller skating rink. I parked my car around there one day, and there was a studio. I just walked in one day and we talked. He asked me if I sang and I said, “Yeah.” Did I have any music? “Yeah, I have a whole notebook full of lyrics and music.” He said, “Well, let me look at it.”I showed it to him, he thumbed through it. He liked “What’s Your Hurry Baby” – that was the name of the song. He changed it to “At the Hotel.” He said, “We’re gonna record this tomorrow, will you come back?” I said, “Sure.” I came back. Paul: What was this gentleman’s name? Eunice: (pause) Well, I’ve been told that his name was Chuck Sibit. But I did not remember that. I’ve been told that in recent years, like a year or so ago. Someone who tracked me down and asked me if I was the one that sang “At the Hotel.” He’s the one that gave me the background. He told me it was Chuck Sibit. I just remembered the guy, I remember his face. Paul: You just walk into this studio with a bunch of original lyrics and the next day you’re recording it – how did that feel? What did you think? Eunice: It really didn’t feel – it wasn’t exciting or anything. He just said, “We’re gonna record this tomorrow, will you come back?” There were some girls he wanted to do background for me. But when I got there, they refused to do background because they said they were the ones who were supposed to be recording. So I told these guys, “You. You. You. This is what I want you to sing.” That’s how it was. It wasn’t anything exciting. We did it in one take. And I went home.He pressed the records and gave me some. He told me he was moving to California. He kept giving me record sheets. Years ago they used to have record sheets that – I don’t know if you even remember record sheets – to tell you where your song was on the list, like No. 25? On the radio.

Can we have the story back pls ?... I read the story, but not there anymore...

seem like the story was lost... do you remember it ?
