Mark Bicknell Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Just wondering if anyone can put a current market value on a couple of classic rare oldies, Arin Demain - Silent Treatment - Blue Star Demo, condition near mint, sounds perfect. And Melvin Davis - Find A Quiet Place - Wheel City, condition very good sounds perfect. Also Sam Williams - Love Slipped Through My Fingers - Tower White Demo, condition as good a copy that's out there sounds good. Please advise bicknellmark@aol.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Guest cC B Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I would guess that £700-800 is 'realistic' for Arin Demain Cheers, Christian B Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Marc Forrest Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Mate off mine bought a Arin Demain two years ago for under 600 UKP, Sam Williams is around 800 UKP in minz minus, don`t know about the Melvin Davis though... Marc Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Tommy Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Mate off mine bought a Arin Demain two years ago for under 600 UKP, Sam Williams is around 800 UKP in minz minus, don`t know about the Melvin Davis though... Couple of years back i swapped my VG+ copy of The Districts on Nile for: Buster & Eddie - White Demo (mint-) & Melvin Davis - Wheel City (VG - tiny edge crack) The Districts is around 500 quid. Buster & Eddie on a white demo must be around 400 quid. They say cracked records are half price. 500 - 400 = 100 pounds. So for a uncracked Melvin Davis (apparently) your looking at 200 pounds.

Garethx Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 As an aside to Mark's query I wonder some of the mega oldies would be embraced if they were unknowns and being spun for the first time today: Sam Williams: yes; Melvin Davis: maybe (it never really took off nationally the first time, perhaps because it was genuinely rare); Arin Demain: I'd have to say "I don't know"; despite the fact that it's a very instant record (and one of the first of the northern classics to imbed itself in my brain) it's not really the kind of sound that's getting spun anywhere now by newies deejays. Perhaps this 45 is a bit too "teenage" in its outlook and very few northern fans are teenagers any more. What do others think? I'd be interested to know.

Maybe a seperate thread on this one people. Regards - Mark Bicknell. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
