Any ideas on a current value for the Silhouettes - Get A Job - Goodway LP

Just picked one up and would be interested in a value for it....it's M- condition.

thanks

Andy

Depends if it's still got a copy of "Not Me Baby" inside.

I'm sure one was auctioned not too long ago or sold on here, didn't sell for much if memory serves. Needless to say it didn't contain the 45.

Unfortunately not....does have "Not Me Baby" on the LP though

I WOULD SAY ABOUT £150 FOR THE ALBUM, UNLESS.........

YOURE ALBUM IS STILL SHRINK WRAPPED (AS YOU SAY ITS MINT-)

IF THATS THE CASE THEN YOUR A LUCKY MAN AND YOU WOULD HAVE

THE BONUS FREE SINGLE INSIDE OF 'NOT ME BABY' WHICH WOULD BE

REAL HANDY COS THAT WOULD PROBABLY INCREASE THE VALUE BY

ABOUT £750 .....OH YES!!!

Its been opened Hammie....so unfortunately the 45 is long gone, condition is gorgeous otherwise ......the M minus = opened LP........did well with the price though, about what i thought

Mighty pretty Scott...that's the jackpot

theres some old 70,s boots of not me baby on a plain off white label with no writing, also little eddie taylor, and the subway riders, all done at the same time, makes looking for them interesting as usually the original owner has scrawled the title on in felt tip

Thats exceedingly good news Jim ....thanks for that

i was referring to the 45 dennis..hope i didn,t build your hopes up.

When I was in New york about 6 years ago Bleeker street records had very little in their racks downstairs but tons in the basement rooms but alas no access - Steve Bouden goes in there a month later an gets a Not me baby 45 original for $1 - Talk about Lucky!

Let's not forget the reissue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does the rest of the LP sound like besides the 45 tracks?

Would have to dig it out but from what I recall, one side features some of their 50s songs whereas the other side features new 60s recordings with one or two 'updated' versions of their own material (e.g. "get a job"). From a Northern Soul view "not me baby" is the only worthwhile track.

thanks for the info I appreciate it

There was one(Lp)on ebay last week @ $150 BIN..

Dave f...

thanks for the info I appreciate it

Here's the track list:

Side A: "Silhouettes - 1958" (credited original 1958 on the label)

Get a job

I am lonely

Rent man

Your love (is all I need)

Bing bong lover

Side B: "Silhouettes - 1968" (credited new - 1968 on the label)

Get a job

Not me baby

Gaucho serenade

Climb ev'ry mountain

We belong together

Haven't played side A never been into that 50s sound. Side B is pretty disappointing. New version of Get a job sounds like "can i get a witness" with different lyrics. Gaucho serenade is pretty cheesy and the lyrics are shite. climb every whatever is dull. We belong together is ok, good arrangement. Not me baby is a gem, period. Gives me goosebumps from just playing it

ok thanks a lot. it seems like this was like an oldies cash in LP to people who remembered the silhouettes but didn't own anything and there wasn't anything in print. the fact that they had an actually good soul track seems like an anomaly.

We Belong Together came out on Jamie as The New Silhouettes.

If you are thinking of selling Mr D, sure could come up with some trades, a free tea, a few pints and a Chinese Burn to knock the price down!

Old habits die hard on prices, you know me.

Now that is interesting, could throw the 45 in trades!

Hope things are good young man, I still owe you a phone call! I am climbing up the walls with inactivity at moment!!

There was a guy who had a few sealed albums on ebay a while back and he stated that they did not have the single inside.

Without the 45 inside $275 tops

I have the Silhouettes Album on it's way from the States unfortunately there is no single included. 

I was wondering how rare exactly is the single Not Me Baby have many original copies ever turned up... 

Dont know how many but it is quality and I think it would be around £1200 to £1500 now.

Thanks Steve, I know Derek Mead has a copy and he told me it's a rare one to get on a 45, he suggested I concentrate on getting the LP instead. 

Been plenty of copies of the 45 over the years but it is a keeper for those who have it or get it. Its no rarer than the Lp really as the 45 came with the Lp.  The Lp though is picking up demand as Djs realise it isn’t all ablut 45s and you can play Lps. 

I did a full LP only set a while back just for a change. Some good content on LP.

To me it seems odd,that both sides of the 45,are already on the album it came free with...was the album some kind of promo tool for the 45?

I always play Lps nowadays the odd time I get behind the decks. 

 

was the 45 released in its own right or only a freebie with the album?

I know one thing, I will have a bloody good look to see if the single is still in that Album cover when it lands here!

The silouettes were a doo wop group and Not me baby was there attempt  at crossing over to soul music,hence the 45 being a promo freebie with the album. Chris.

Special reissue by who?  A boot until proved otherwise for me.

I had the Silhouettes Get A Job Album on Goodway arrive safe and sound from the States, owed me £90 in the end as I got hit with twenty quid import duty, no sign of the give away Not Me Baby single included unfortunately. Talking of which a copy of that single went through John Manships Auction last Wednesday Night 5th June 2019, Well over 50 Bids after going into 15 minutes extra time with people keen to bag it, ended on £1560 so I can live with getting stung 20 sheets on import duty.
