A customer just asked me to find him a copy of the above and I don't have one here right now - says he can pay me (around) £65 - he may go slightly higher - can anybody do business here? Pls bear in mind that I need to make at least a tenner here to make this worth my time - ok?

PM me or or email me on mail@resolutionrecords.co.uk

Cheers....

It's not crazy at all

There are copies on ebay or in sales every week....white demo's and black issues in abundance.

A good friend once told me a valuable lesson about record buying.

Records that came out on big labels were made in abundance so will always be available ,records that were only put out on small local labels are rare.

RCA VICTOR is a massive label therefore pressed untold thousands of copies ,and this record is no exception .

What's crazy is why people keep paying over a £100 for it

I'd love to see a list of how many black stock copies of Don Ray you've seen. Or Willie Kendrick, Michael & Raymond. What about Dean Courtney on black MGM, who's got one, I have, but there's never been another one for sale.

Ok Pete

Always exceptions but on the whole i think my point was aimed at the general release of a record by a large label.

Demos ,stock copies were not mass produced as they were made for radio stations or retailers .

Quite obviously ratio of radio stations ,retailers against the general public (paying customers) is a lot less.

Popsike shows about 4 pages of this record .

not really any exceptions with major label demos. yes if you collect stock copies its trickier but demo`s unless there is a particular reason ( withdrawn or whatever). lets face it the internet makes a mockery of what we call rare soul

I got £200 for my german picture sleeve only the other month.

U.S. hardest RCA issues in my view Gia Mateo and Judy Freeman saw G Matio 15+years ago in a collection at a Peterborough allnighter not managed to find it myself and Judy Freeman issue missed it on bay also a few years ago years looking since -metros American not rare plenty around not sure at this price though Canadian I think is the hardest many say German one?

Interested if anyone can tell me different on above ?

Speaking as someone who has been digging for records in the US continuously for 30 years, RCA promos and Columbia promos are by far the most common major label records. Both labels were very generous in their 'radio station service' (as they call it) and flooded radio stations, musical institutions, and schools with their promo copies. Unlike other labels, which sent stations specific promos based on genre to stations in those markets, these labels sent everything to any station with a hint they might play them. There's one RCA record (a garage 45, Lloyd and the Village Squires) that I've never seen on a US copy, I believe it was only released in the band's native Canada, even though it was assigned a US RCA number. The Zombies 45 on Columbia is pretty rare.

I've seen stock copies for Willie Kendrick (both) and Don Ray (both, the first non-Northern one is really easy to find). I don't know about Gia Mateo, I've never really been into the record and would not have noticed them.
