You are quite correct H : DV issue copies are few and far between , but on saying that , the last one I know of was sold on eBay about 15 / 16 months ago by an American seller ( surprise , surprise ) .

I have heard of an issue being valued at £700 + : anyone confirm this is the going rate ?

I had the chance of owning one when it first surfaced , but as I already had a WD , I gave it a miss opting to buy other tunes ....... C'est la vie .

As for Holly St James , I am certain that the copy Richard had was an issue .

Two issue copies sold on eBay in May and June 2009. They sold for $332 and $389. That's £225-ish.

It sure is rare, but I see no reason for the price to have gone up with £475 since then.

Freddie Chavez..def hard. I had one & sold it to Ginger late 80s..he moved it on. tried to buy one 2 years ago off a person from Scotland but that is a long story.

Dean Courtney..fairly hard , Dean showed me a Billborad R&B chart with it sitting there in the 30-40s so they must be out there?

Willie Hutch Dunhill Issue is hard. Dave Greet & I saw a young guy with " at St Ives late 70s.

Strange isn`t it ive seen a couple of these over the years and both were in my home town of york

im sure pete smith was selling a dean courtney issue earlier this year

ive never seen an issue of Jades on Nitelife....would it be yellow if it exists.....:thumbsup:

I've deff seen the Jades on yellow Nite Life in the record bar at Wigan - was told that it was a counterfeit at the time .............Anyone ??

It sure is rare, but I see no reason for the price to have gone up with £475 since then.

My original statement was " I have heard of an issue being valued at £700 " - NOT that one had been sold for that figure .

I've seen two now!

Thanks!

That's right - I traded it for £1000 worth of swaps. Still don't know of another one.

By the way there is a previous thread on this same topic with loads of brilliant scans, if anyone can find it

I haven't either of these on stock issue. I may have the Sam Williams scan from when we did the Johnny Brantley Story, I'll dig around when I get back to Spain.

I'm not aware of a Jd martin issue?

I went round Rob Thomas's once and he had 2 Larry Clinton issues for sale! (also a demo and a knackered demo framed on the wall)

lou ragland issue...post-9436-011605400 1287308775_thumb.jpg

Tha Amy/Mala issues are a bit of an oddity as some are the same colour label as the demo but missing the demo words?

Rob sold one of the Larry Clinton issues to Pete Mason (not the Preston lad the other one).

Yes Dave, also in there is my old Mel Britt demo!

Back to the Willie Hutch issue a lad had one for sale at Prestwich a few years back.

I told Dave Greet at the Orwell about it 2 or 3 weeks later and he asked me to get it for him. (if it was still there)

When I saw the lad again it had gone.

Dave.

Hammie were have you been hiding...............I have Lou Ragland issue dont think its that rare in the scheme of things

Geene Toone issue has to be a Hard one

Edited by smudgesmith

At Kings Hall a few years back there was a blue labelled Lou Ragland for sale. It was a thing of beauty to my eyes, and everybody in the record bar who saw it said they didnt think it existed, but I had a good look at it and thought it was pucka.

I remember asking Tim Ash & Butch what they thought it was worth, think the seller was asking 600 maybe for it at the time. My mate Max was with me and he nearly bought it.

Deffo much scarcer than the demo. Had one from Soul Bowl for a fiver circa '76

Used to have Morris Chestnut on a blue Amy issue

mala issues are rare arent they tobi legend,,,paris blues etc,,,,,come to think of it u see moses and joshua dillards on demo..very rarely see on Issue --get out of my heart and elusive dreams...........

How about some of the RCA things like the Celestrials - Chain Reaction. The W/D used to be fairly common, but issues??

Gia Mateo - If you can say anything nice. Again, see it on demo a bit, but cant say I've ever seen an issue.

Dean Courtney..fairly hard , Dean showed me a Billborad R&B chart with it sitting there in the 30-40s so they must be out there?

David

Always have been, and continue to be, fascinated by the stories and legends of missing records. It's hard to take logically just how scarce some issues are, having been issued. I'm going to get to work on a vinyl detector along the lines of the beach metal detector, there must be some great land-fills out there.

Probably a few million deposited at the bottom of the Mersey.

More issues rarer than demos;

Empires - YOTG

Dennis Edwards - IDHT/JOTS

Jimmy Delphs - DAHITW

I have a Gail wynters you don't have to be in love on a Hickory issue yellow vinyl never seen another one. Guy gave me it for nothing as it had a few scratches on it.

The only Stock Copy that I have EVER seen of

"Chubby Checker" - "Looking At Tomorrow", is this scan on PopSike.

PopSike.com

Yep,

That's the only one I've ever seen too. Must be a story behind this somewhere? CP, Lots of Demos, then poof! Gone!
