Common Labels/rare Records.?


Recommended Posts

Bernie Williams was issued on Bell. Ginger has one and there is one for sale with Pete French. Bloody rare all the same. How many Billy Woods do we reckon there are? I have one and I sold one about 1985, these are not the same copies. So any takers at a guess?

there are lots of 70s records on RCA that are extremely difficult to find as stock copies with a different b-side (which always seem to be better for some reason).

Yes and I'd also say Herman Kelly on RCA is pretty hard to find and it's a cracking soul record both sides.

Another 70s one Tyrone Thomas Polydor?

tons of polydor and rca titles, some of which i don't want to mention because they're under the radar and i still haven't found them...

A few major labels with quite hard to find rarities.

Hy-Tones You Don't Even Know My Name on Bell.

Jay Traynor Up & Over on ABC. (prob not as rare, but still quite expensive)

HY-TONES ON BELL 2 OR 3 COPIES ON EBAY within last 6 MONTHS

Without question the hardest to find on the Loma label are:

* The Soul Shakers - I'm getting weaker (Loma 2047 - issue)

* The G-Clefs - I can't stand it / Whirlwind (Loma 2048 - issue or promo)

It's interesting to note that both of the hardest to find on the label came out one directly after the other! Also, two or three of the non-soul releases on the label are very difficult to get hold of as issue copies.

I'd be interested to hear the opinions of people like Steve G on the annette snell issue on epic with "promises should never be broken" on the flip side.

I did recently list it for sale and believe its a very hard issue to find so would be good to hear the views of a long time collector.

Gareth commented he hadn't heard it so that tells me it must be pretty tricky.

It's tough, I think because she died when the promos were out there. Did you sell it in the end?

No i've still got it which is no bad thing. Will look to put out a small list later in the month and if something goes off that then this can be kept.

Prehaps didn't sell because its not northern and that seems to be the main target audience on here.

I have read a few comments about some unissued material that was going to go on an epic LP but i've never heard any of it.

"Sweet Lover" - Forston and Scott - Pzazz..

Would have thought Pzazz would have made plenty of copies of each release, but this is hard to get!

A number of pretty rare Bell records out there - Jim Gilstrap Run run run for example. Also I think Happy is quite a tough one, same one side as their Verve release but with a different B side on Bell.

I've only ever seen happy as a promo (it has both sides though), never as a stock copy. This wikipedia page says it's just Billy Guy. Also, what's crazier is that it says it also was released as by the "Happy Cats". If that's true that's gotta be super rare.

I don't really know if this is the reason for the overall rarity, but john anderson told me some story once about a large warehouse worth of bell stock being destroyed.
