Pat Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I recently saw on e-bay a copy of Sweet Magic / Connie accredited to the Magicians, but I know the same record is sometimes accredited to The Servicemen....Any one tell me the difference?

Lionelonthevinyl Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 One of these sold the other month (the magicians boot) for £120! It was advertised as the boot as well. Think it is pretty rare, but still...........Rob Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I posted it in comedy sale this morning. Dubious the wording to say the least (aka Servicemen ). Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mace Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Recently found a copy of the Magicians 45 in a box of old 45s and did a price check on Collectors Frenzy....it has sold quite a few times for decent money..$213, $202, $155, $133 as well as high double figures...so there must be some demand for it. Anyone wanting to offer an average of the above prices for my mint copy then please get in touch....discretion and confidence guaranteed! ;o) Edited December 7, 2013 by Mace 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Those people asking in another topic about exclusive Russ Winstanley spins - this was one. He was the only one to play it (at Wigan anyway), only played it 3 or 4 times, then it was booted under it's cover up name. They were on sale for a very short period of time and were slightly more expensive than the usual boots. I didn't know it was The Servicemen until years after.

John May Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 May be an idea to set up a kind of Samaritans thread on here for people who spend lot's of money on records only to find they're boots. Happens to the best of occaisonally. Life is just one big learning curve......sometimes can be an expensive curve though. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Assuming you mean Sweet magic Pete? was connie ever played then? Love Connie BTW I will say no because I never heard it until it turned up on a Soul Supply LP in the 80's, but I only went to Wigan so it may have been played elsewhere at a different time.
