From JM Auction - what is the record going to be!!!

On Thursday this space will be taken by a NORTHERN SOUL 7" LEGEND! It seems I've been waiting ALL my life to even see a copy, it's now in my hands and I'm almost suffering from premature…. death. Thrilled wasn't the word when a little old couple flew to England came into my office and politely asked if we would you like to auction this 45 for them. Good job those statins work, I was instantly thinking "do they do Tena pants for men? This was a proper NS "Tutankhamen" moment for me, hopefully it will be for you too.

WELL YOU STARTED THIS THREAD AND OBVIOUSLY KNOW MORE THAN THE REST OF US

Yeh, they say you can't see the constellation when the weather's bad, but that's a load of bunk

Alan

now that the record has been revealed through bad puns, can someone explain to me what it has to do with sheep? Am I thick or is it a british english vs. american english thing? I was trying to think of wolf-related records.

Bunky Sheppard (Shepherd)

thanks, I guess I am just slow

Last time and only time i have seen this on Bunky was at the Highland room circa 1972,a guy from Accrington had it!

brits cant rely on the WEATHER,,

Nolan Chance on Bunky? *yawn*

Expected something much more exiting...

we could all chip in and buy it. then cut it up so we each have a piece...and at the same time making it rarer :-)

now that we know; the above offer definitely still stands

The thread has been fun though. Like trying to unmask a super-injunction holder.

Wow. Nice record though. I'm not sure if I've ever actually seen one. I dimly remember one of Soussan's lists having it on and most people being sceptical about it's existance but it makes sense to me. I can imagine Bunky knocking off a few Bunky copies to pass around fellow DJ's in Chicago to give the record a boost but how many copies I wonder?

Ian D

Sorry but unless i've just woken from a bad dream,i know someone who's got the record on Bunky,if its what i think John's implying.

Before the offers come in for it - no,he doesn't sell,no he doesn't go anywhere now."Armchair" collector for 40 years.

I will check of course and correct my post if i'm wrong.

You're either too young or too cynical LOL......

It's an iconic record for many and was probably one of the biggest records on the scene when they were getting into it. And on Bunky! What's not to like?

Ian D

Corfu??

Hang on. This is getting more like Cluedo or Sleuth or one of those similarly horrible games that went on forever LOL........

,no he's not far away.In fact i can see his house from here...(bloody hell,hope he's still got it now i've opened my mouth.... ).

,no he's not far away.In fact i can see his house from here...(bloody hell,hope he's still got it now i've opened my mouth.... ).

Err, I actually think he's in the process of moving to sunny Corfu Kev. Via Melton Mowbray possibly..........

Kev...if you can see his house ... cast your mind back a few days .....did him and his good lady nip out with a parcel

Ok. Now we know what it is. How much will it go for ? My guess is £5.5K

I wanted it to be don varner on veep......

johns wrire up acknowledges another copy of NC so prehaps that is the one being talked about here ?

Soul Sam will tell you a funny story about aquiring this record from Simon Soussan when he (soussan) lived in Leeds.

Just spoke to the guy in question.He DID have a Bunky NC,purchased from Soul Bowl.Kept for years but sold a few years back.

Until i spoke to him,he was unaware of the JM auction.He estimates 3-5k.

neither young (38) nor cynical. nolan chance might had been a big sound in in the past. but today? plenty of other big tunes i'd drool over. eddie parker on awake demo for example.

38 ..........now thats young. younger than young andy dyson.............. serously tho my shoulders dropped a bit too. after all nolan chance on bunky is only a reissue and if i`d got 5 grand to spend and 5 records came up at 5 grand each, don gardner, inspirations, bunky, lady in green, eddie parker. i think nolan chance would be the last one i`d buy... personally i dont think it`ll make 5 grand. but i hope it does to cover the old folks air fair and for john to take his cut.........................

All that guessing and the original poster actually gave it away in the first post!

p.s. is Bunky a reissue or a first issue, was it a private press?

38 is young Benji, believe me!

Nolan Chance was a monster before you were even born so it'll have a lot more resonance for older collectors I'd guess. But, like you, there's many other sounds I prefer anyway. The Bunky thing has always had a certain mystique about it so it'll fetch a great price I reckon.....

Ian D

38 benji you old fart it'll soon be time to retire

Did he? How?

The records been discussed a few times on here.

Ady Croasdell had the record very early on and Searling had it at Wigan.

There's a scan somewhere on the site.

Pretty sure the conclusion was the Bunky press came second.

I think you could make up a story for either case, reissue or first issue, and nobody will know the truth since Sheppard is gone. Either way it's super rare and cool.

Did he? How?

Sorry, it was the first post at the top of this page

Bunky issue....

It seems like people have got this one right!! ....so let's look forward to the next one of the same magnitude! ....Sidney Barnes on Red Bird?

From Pete S (the better one)

DEFFO THE 2ND ISSUE AS HE'D ALREADY HAD A RELEASE ON CONSTELLATION....SHE'S GONE/IF HE MAKES YOU C144, THE ABOVE SCAN MAYBE PRETTY DODGY TOO IT HAS THE CAME CAT NO AS THE CONSTELLATION COPIES C161, WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THIS GOES FOR, NOT PLAYIN IT DOWN AS IT'S A SUPERB RECORD BUT SURELY 3K IS OPTIMISTIC

Geoff, who from Accy?

Richard had it on Bunky back in the day, I did try to buy it off him but he wouldn't sell.

Having said that, I never actually saw the record, but I did want it bad.

Dave.

P.S. Geoff say hi to Margaret from me and Lou.

My last post on this seems to have gone west - so I'll repeat what I put earlier:

Looking at the label above, I'd hazard a guess at the Bunky being the National release (dist by Scepter) and therefore the second issue to the Local label (Constellation).

HI ALL .... I KNOW ,,, it's "STUBBORN HART" BY THE UK SHEPARD'S - STRIKE. IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, STRIKE IS THE MOST LIKELY LABEL? THE SHEPARD'S THE ARTIST, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW. THATS MY GUESS

"YOU JUST DON'T KNOW" - SHEPARD'S - STRIKE,???

WOULD MICK SMITH WANT IT, JOHN, OR HAS HE GOT IT??? DAVE

And there I was thinking that someone had found a second copy of Billy Woods on Australian A & M .....

:ph34r:Now the clue is the couple flew to england.........eeeeem was this to throw us off the saucy sent I ask myself perhaps to aid to the climb to the unveiling eeeeeem ?

Come on god help me out here .... this could be a major cooop for the lady anoraks ... I could guess this tune I could jump mega toggles

I will say Gerri Hall on Island ..actually wouldn't it be funny if it turned out to be a british label sold by americans

Miss HP

Im sure i saw the the Delta number listed about it something like 104** which would make it almost if not 70's

Darren, That scan wherever it came from looks like a 90s lookalike . We await Thursday with baited breath to see what a real one looks like and whether it's the same.

if the label scanned above is genuine ( it looks dodgy to me ) that label design would make it at least 2 years after the constellation release and constellation had already ceased to be

that delta number stems from 1976/77 probably the blue bunky boot

dave

Guess it is some foreign label besides US or UK, sort of a Lenny Curtis on Portugeies label. How about Bernie Moore on spainish label

And there I was thinking that someone had found a second copy of Billy Woods on Australian A & M .....

WHY, HAS THERE BEEN A FIRST ONE, WOW.. NOW THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING

BRI PINCH

There's just not enough information here. We need to know where they flew in from as that will affect the money in their pocket. If they live in Corfu, you can get good prices with ScramJet and so would make sense even for a £5k record. But if the old couple came from California; well, thats quite a few thousand pounds to knock off...Some god-given-gift of a hunce tells me its America, another hunce that they are really here on holiday and thought they'd pop in to save Mr Gordy going to the post office - and they planed to go to Melton on their trip anyway to pick up some of those rather nice pork pies with Stilton on top from the world famous pork pie shoppe.

I think we're now getting closer.

or a blag to get customers to look through his site. to see what it is / was. then notice somthing else and bid / buy.

IMO anyway.
