Didnt mean to sound like a d*** . Just there seems to be 45s to satisfy some demand... but say Mr Soul ( Genuine ) not seen at all- nor George Pepp ( last one I saw for sale was Blackburn ..donkeys ago ) Seems like there not likely to turn up ..ever???

Good question Rich, I was wondering the same thing.

There are some records where it would be interesting to confirm their rarity, and some myths which need dispelling. I know there was a thread a while back showing that there were well over a dozen copies of the Eddie Parker on Awake, and I believe there are about a dozen of Billy Woods. While these are still pretty rare it would be good to narrow it to fewer than 10 say, or perhaps 5.

Of the established tunes, how about:

Inspirations - Breakthrough

Don Gardner - Sedgrick

Jimmy Burns - Erica

Various Shrines - Cavaliers, Prophets, Counts

Of the more unusual, maybe:

Nat T. Jones - Goliath

Walter Wilson - Wand

I assume also that we're talking about records with proper labels, not acetates/test presses?

It is Pete yes. Was chatting to a doo wop / R&R collector recently about the same issue. Just curious really . .

I guess we're also assuming that the records should be high quality, danceable, Northern Soul - and for my taste it should certainly be soulful.

Not sure how many copies there are of:

Ernestine Eady - Phil LA Soul

Four Dynamics - Peachtree

Combinations - What You Gonna Do - Kellmac

Pat Lewis - No One To Love - Solid Hit

Various Magnetics items - any fewer than 10 copies?

Anyone got reliable information / suggestions?

Peter,

You just reminded me to do the lottery tonight..

The Inspirations has gotta take some beating on rarity alone.

Imagine turning that up at a little yard sale in Watts !

You would't want to have a dodgy ticker.... The shock could finish you!

There's loads of copies of Pat Lewis, even I've had one ... great record, but not rare, really rare I mean.

Russ - there's quite a few tasty west coast items which would set the pulse racing. Would you be able to keep a decent poker face if you were handing over $3 for one in those sales?!

Doesn't that Patrinell Staten eminate from Seattle too? Any idea on the number of known copies of that?

Pete - I'm glad there's a few of the Pat Lewis around. As you say it's a great record, and I'd love to have one in my collection. Let me know next time you turn one up!

I had trouble keeping a poker face when handed The masquaders on soultown and Johnny James on Circle M by a certain Bob Cattaneo and asked would i like to buy them... $30 each....I left that evening with about 10 cents and a stack of quality 45s....

Mello Souls,Walter and Admirations,Trannels would be my choice

Margaret Little on Greenbro, Shit Rare Detroit (3 known copies)

I just find it impossible to believe there's only one copy of She's fire by The COD'S. Anyone know different?

Nope.

Number of years ago I had the ISSUE and The Demo of Larry Clinton in my hands and had to choose which one to keep. I kept the Demo. Never seen another ISSUE. Anyone on here got one?

Dave

Hi Dave,

I think Kev Murphy has an issue.

Would have thought Don Gardner well into double figures.

Swans - Nitty Gritty City - Dore

Milton James - My Lonely Feeling - Dore

June Jackson - You're Welcome - Musette

Kell Osbourne - Law Against A Heartbreaker - Highland

E. Williams - Trade My Soul - Tide

Little Johnny Hamilton - Keep On Moving - Dore

Little John - Just Wait And See - Go Gate

Junior McCants - Try Me For Your New Love - King

hi

not sure how many copies of this is out there

hi

thats the second issue quite a few of those over the years, far rarer on Labeat IMO.

Thanks Chalky, that's the Don Gardner shunted into the 'more than 10 copies' category (unless anyone else disagrees?!?)

Any more cracks at likely numbers of known copies of any of the records mentioned?

Any more myths to be dispelled??

On LaBeat W/Demo probably agree. But LaBeat Issue? Loads of 'em over the years. Just the kind of record that disappears into collectors boxes and stays there is all.

I would personally say both Labeat rarer. Seen far more Palmer over the years than either LaBeat. After all Palmer was the label for national distribution.
