Johndelve Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Has this topic been raised before ? I find it interesting. "Rare" is not all the same thing as "In demand". For instance, I own a copy of Screaming Jay Hawkins' 1972 LP " A portrait of a man and his woman" and The Brooklyn All Stars "Jesus loves me" UK President LP from 1967. I don't think either record has any value, and I have never seen the slightest trace of any "demand" for either of them but try finding each one now. It took me thirty five years to even see a copy of the first, for instance. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
AlanB Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The Brooklyn Allstars LP is available on Discogs https://www.discogs.com/Brooklyn-Allstars-Jesus-Loves-Me/release/4441915 Is it an out and out gospel record, or is there anything on it of soul/R&B interest?

Codfromderby Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 if there is only 250 copies of a record that only 23 people want there is 227 copies lying around somewhere, if it becomes in demand there are 227 copies around and 1240 people want them because its popular or taste has changed the market forces come in, the price goes up, its easy, some records are also found in bulk only when someone is looking for them thats why ive bought loads of records cheap, sold them on cheap and low and behold they are now going for loads of money as they are now in demand, eg fool to fool by shep, once a soul pack special, how many of us would have chucked records away years ago that are appreciated on the scene now because when i was a lad it was 100mph stompers, not beat ballads or crossover Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Well, well. Didn't think it would be quite that easy to fine one...it is pure - and excellent - gospel. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
