Tried to post this into the bedroom soul thread, where Mark B asked if anyone had ever seen a Bobby Reed 'You Are' issue, but can't for some reason.

Mark - see below (with demo, which I've just sold!)

Is this particularly hard though? I dunno!!

cheers

Cheers Dan, on reflection i have seen the issue way back but i think it was in a friends collection, perhaps both the issue and demos are pretty few and far between on this perhaps overlooked quality tune.

overlooked quality tune

those words sum it up to a tee, mark

also thanks to your post on the other thread i actually flipped one of them over for the first time to listen to the other side (lost count of how many times i've failed to do this - the word 'knob' comes to mind) and that is a brilliant, jazzy, slightly down-tempo sound too

sold the demo for 50 notes to first guy who asked, and had four or five ask afterwards, so that's a good benchmark cost-wise

Hi Dan, as a matter of course i always tend to play the flip of a new tune i get, often they are not so good, but oh what a joy to discover a hidden gem on the other side.

Thanks again for the scans of Bobby Reed.

Bobby Reed. Took me a loooong time to find this. Anyone seen any others?

Regards.

The Clay Town release is rarer than the Brunswick ones I reckon but I have seen it for sale many times over the years. Don't wanna be a spoilsport but I don't think issue nor demo on Brunswick is really rare. Nice record though.

Cheers Christian, thinking about it i'm pretty sure i had it on Claytown years back and got rid when i found the Brunswick Demo, oh well my fault, nice Demo though Mr Moore and i'm doing your reviews for Hitsville..........like you say Christian nice record though it matters very little how rare it is or how much it's worth as i guess more people can buy a copy if it's cheap and just enjoy the record as a quality tune.

Best thing would be if all records were cheap and common, I bet that would change playlists a bit, and for the better too. We can always dream on I guess.

Hi Guys,

I would have to disagree slightly. The Claytown issue I have seen lots of. The W/Demo I would say is much rarer and harder to find. Not because I have one, but because of the amount I've seen and how long it took me to get one.

I do agree that the Brunswick issue or demo are not particularly hard. I would rate both at around the 25 UKP mark.

Good record though eh? Wish all quality was 25 squidleys!
