Had a white demo on Kay-Ko in this midtempo gem (white Jewish trio I believe, and friends of Doni Burdick !) for a few years now, though I know this received a later national release on Mercury. Which is harder though, and anyone want a stab at values on both? Would have thought the Mercury one would be more common (unless the Kay-Ko sold a bit regionally then flopped on wider distribution?). Can't remember the last time I saw a Mercury copy...

I payed about £35 a few years back for a Kay-Ko stock copy in M then found one on the bay for $4.99 vg+ buy it now! that i give to a mate knowing he was looking for one, Price now i would not know.

Total class record from the Darlings IMO

mercury much harder in my experience even though it is is the national and later label

i think its quite rare on mercury. the kay o copies have always shown up over the years but it rarely shows up on mercury. in the guide tho JM rates the kay o one more expensive probably coz he`s had a copy or two since he started the books. the mercury copy hasn`t altered probably coz he hasnt had one in 10 years and you cant update everything

sunday chill out 16th august with guests bob beasley and chris dalton with the usual suspects (birthday boys)

OK then, seems from this and previous posts that the Mercury release is more elusive. How about Kay-Ko issues versus WDs??

Mark.

not totally sure mark as i tend to underprice the records ive known/had for years. ive seen probably half and half of the kay-o copies and more often than not they show up with wear . i think maybe £75 for a nice demo maybe a tad less for a stock. but im prepared to be told im wrong

Mark,

What about their other release on Kay-Ko called "Big Wheel" which ain't bad either.

Got a beat up copy off Gilly years ago, but you don't see that.

Also got a release by Rick Martell that's pretty good too.

Hi! I paid £30 for my Kay-Ko copy. It's not white demo though and was a few years back. Beautiful record.

big wheel also rarer in my experience. promos of 'two time loser' rarer than stock copies in my experience.

Hi Craig, how's it going,

Got a sound file on Big Wheel?

Mark.

I would think the demo is much rarer than the stock. never seen the mercury press. Rick Martell is aka Ricky Dee aka Ricky Drapkin (Writer of the Donays 45 "Devil in his Heart").
