Issues You've Never Seen ( Because They Don't Exist? )

Posted

don't know if this is a subject that's been studied before, at the weekend baz maleedy played me a copy of a beat ballad by bobby hendricks on cub which dosn't appear on anyone's lists, whereas the mgm release does, that despite cub being an mgm subsidiary. this anomaly must apply to lots of things...for instance, the earl jackson & yum yums issued turned up about 10 years ago and they both, had never been seen before, thought not to actually exist.....so does an issue of say, holly st james exist?.

    Collected stock copies for many years. Managed to obtain some very nice ones, as has been said the yum, yums and holy stjames never came my way, but things like Dana vallery, Freddie Chavez, did event

      Yeah I sold it to Mick Smith - well I traded it - £1200 worth of swaps I think it was.  And he still complained, as always  Makes me laugh because in every price guide it has a ve

Lou Ragland on Amy, I've got a pink issue.

Do blue issues exist though Tony?

My rarest ISSUE Toby Legend Time Will Pass You By Mala Blue now in dave thorleys hands,,,,,,i had one 30 years ago i sold to Tony Worrot and first one i saw since then on JM's auction which i won....more expensive than what i paid 30 years ago..

snooky

 

The first copy I ever saw back in 1972 was a blue issue (I'm not sure but I think it may have been Howard Earnshaw's). There were a few around initially and then it all seemed to be yellow promos after that.......

The scan for Issue of Jay D Martin was not very good...any better ones on offer

Also like to see Sam Williams ISSUE also...

Tobi Legend ! One of the top guys, may have been Ginger but don't quote me, recently had his Blue Issue broken in half !! Ouch

Not to my knowledge, but then I've not seen Clyde McPhatter "Lonely People" on a blue either and they're from the same time frame.

Both use the 'demo' labels for issues..another one, forgot the artist, "Only love can save me now" (Al something) is the same

i turned down a copy for £125 ...already got a demo,,,would ave looked nice in the box tho..one of my all time fave oldies........

Whoah.  Now that really has stopped me in my tracks.  Thanks Mick.

Pete, it went through eBay last year twice !! £100 or so unsold, but went for more on the relist. I wanted it but forgot it the first time round, and got outbid the second time. Would still like one now ... anybody ??

Thought this was rare as an issue (Jerry ganey - You Don't Love Me, MGM) then after JM auctioned one about 4 or 5 went through ebay in quick succession (same seller I think) so maybe not as rare as thought. Image isn't mine, just for interest.

Thanks for the other scans/pics, I do enjoy looking at the labels.

As others mentioned, I won't believe a Holly St James until I see it!

That was like that Dean Courtney MGM issue - nobody went for it except me, I got it for a ludicrous price but it was there for everyone to see, I think I sniped about $400 and got it for $60.  Something like that.

I think I believe the Holly St James now after seeing August & Deneen, Yum Yums, earl jackson - all of these were thought not to exist at one time not so long ago

Tell you what does it exist but is super rare - I've only had once - Ritchie Adams "I can't escape" Congress red stocker

You are a trusting soul Pete :)

Another Issue !! How lucky is he ?

I have an A&D issue too Pete but I think it's right up there in the Rocking Horse Shit bracket.

 

Another hard issue which I managed to acquire last year is Otis Blackwell on Epic - although mine has a DJ sticker on so technically it doesn't count.

 

Cheers

Just thought of another - Danny Monday.  Seem to recall seeing one for sale donkey's years ago..... scan anyone?

i couldn't see him without one, he was quite depressed about it at the time, naturally who wouldn't, so i offered him mine...we sorted that out a few months ago.

Presume it would have been the red one...

hi pete, the demo would be red letters on a white background and the issue would be the same as any other release on modern?

Yeah I've had the demo - never had an issue - but aren't you answering your own question?

Yes I have the r/w demo but have never seen a red issue in the flesh, however I do believe they exist.

anyone seen a  NIGHT WATCH ISSUE!!

 

Snapped a demo in two on a trip to the States way back so less people would have to suffer this crap....  :lol:

had an issue of larry clinton. i heard it was pretty rare. got it off a guy who had problems with a vet.issues......... been collecting them for years, up graded a peter jarrett that i never knew and a lonely crowde. a bob walker is a hard one too, probably the hardest on the label. i eventually got an issue of the duck but when it arrived it was f@#cked, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ANYONE GOT A KING GEORGE.

King George on RCA issue?  Had one last year, no takers.  Might still be able to get that actually, it was a commission sale so gave it back to the owner.

* I apologise, it did sell, except I've removed the sale price for some reason!

Edited by Pete S

I've got both King George's on RCA black issues. So Long Johnny and I'm gonna be somebody someday.

 

You see the IGBSS issues occasionally , but so Long Johnny is very hard I think; Tim Brown also collected the black issues and told me he'd never seen one before.

 

The Pageants - are you ever coming home and the Insiders- I'm only a man are difficult to get hold of.

Never seen a Pageants. Think I've got Insiders, or had it recently.

The Pageants exists - I've had one but let it go, which I've regretted ever since

 

Not disputing it exists, they all must exist - just saying I've never seen one.

i have held 2 issues of JD Martin in my grubby mitts at same time, both belonged to same fella (not anymore)

 

seen a Sam Williams issue & was told by a dealer that he knows of but can't get his hands on it an Anderson Bros issue but until i see it !!

 

Anyone ever seen a Rosebuds WDJ ?? (not the red one Daz lol)

 

Ian.

Willie Kendricks, Change Your Ways, Black issue just appeared on the John Manship Auction. Nice!

Bought one for £25 off Dave withers @ wigan casino 79.

Yes, Danny Monday on a red Modern stock copy exists.

Patti & Emblems on a Congress red stocker doesn't come along often either!

Basically this topic is about issues you don't see very often, not issues that doesn't exist, is that correct?  I don't think I've heard or read of one that doesn't exist yet unless I missed the post?
