Do You Ever Think "this Should Be Worth More"?

Posted

this is silly, but do you ever have a record that you love so much that you can't believe it is so cheap?

 

i was listening to "come on back to me" by Barbara Middleton and was thinking "if i just heard this for the first time i would think it was worth a million dollars!" and then i see a copy for sale for 30 dollars, and i almost feel angry (considering some of the crap records that go for four figures). it is almost insulting!

 

anyway, perhaps i am insane.

Bloody fantastic record, it has everything an expensive northern tune should.

remember getting a cd when i first started getting back into it...had candy in the sand,im a big man,you said etc all expensive records..but  one i loved as much as those was bob brady-love is the master..and it was a fiver! :thumbsup: ..i know its nowhere near as rare as those ive mentioned but you dont see it as much as most of his others which are more expensive?

Tommy Mosley is a fantastic double sider!

 

One that got me was - The Stereos - Don't let it happen to you - Val records

I was sure that was gonna be a couple of hundred quid but pleasantly surprised that JM had it at £20 but its bloody hard to find!

Yes you do, it stands for Brunswick Record Company

this is silly, but do you ever have a record that you love so much that you can't believe it is so cheap?

 

Yes, especially when I see other dealers and sellers asking double the price of what I ask - and getting it!

Nice - i just played Liz Lands at my monthly gig (in July, I believe)

Playgirls Love on Windy C - still can't believe this is a fiver!

Check out

 

Ovations - I'm in love - MGM - superb 5 pound tune - 70's

Manhattans - All I need is your love - Carnival - pick one up for under 20 quid - sounds like a thousand pound 60's nighter rarity.

Glad you like it Martyn - always sounds like it shoud be a Detroit record to me.  Always nice to help out a Hull boy as I'm from Driffield originally!!

 

Berst Adam.

Said it before and I'll say it again, The Young Folk - Lonely Girl - MarVLus (also UK President) oh my goodness what a record, always reminds me of the Admirations on Peaches and Paree, one of those records that people can't even be bothered to listen to because they have seen it in cheap boxes for the last 40 years but it is truly stupendous. Also released on the same label as Miss Madeline with a different B side. This is one of my favourite records ever.

Thats another of my favourite records (Baby Boy) when you think of that rubbish thing on Northern De la that went for £1000 last week and you can still get this for £20 or so

Loadsa good chunes here to which I'd add:-

Billy Sans - I Don't Want To Lose A Good Thing on Impreario and Invictus: has cult potential

King Floyd - Times Have Changed on Pulsar: getting spins at key venues

Danny Price - Come To Me on UA: unknown anthem on major label

Theresa Lindsey Daddy O Golden World.

In reality a £10.00 tune because it is so readily available but it is the absolute epitome of a 1960's Detroit soul production. Spine tingling.

Great flip side with I'll bet you which deserves to be up there with the best.

I remember going as a guest on the Mary Fox show a few years ago on Radio Stoke and giving her The Daddy O Golden World 45 to play off one her decks which she championed and totally blew her away and she hammered and promoted to death and soon became massively in demand. I then sold my demo on Ebay for £100.00.Dont know what it fetches now but what a tune

another that (too me) just "sounds expensive"... love the dramatic organ in the intro before the band kicks in!

 

Leona Dunn - baby don't play around 

I think there is a difference between a nice tune and a premier division contender....top of my head.Got To Have You-Four Tempos,June Taylor-Jealous Heart,Benny Harper-Don't Let It Happen To You,Eddie Holman-A Free Country,Darrow Fletcher- I Like The Way I Feel,Herman griffin-Are You For Me....or Against Me.

That was the one I meant - not Baby Boy, but Daddy O.  But whoever paid £100 for that, send him my way  :lol:

one i loved as much as those was bob brady-love is the master..and it was a fiver! :thumbsup: ..i know its nowhere near as rare as those ive mentioned but you dont see it as much as most of his others which are more expensive?

 

dean

 

Totally agree Dean - a record that never got the recognition or exposure it deserves.  Nothing like any of their other Chariot sides either.  Another record introduced to me by Nick Brown all those years ago.

My last contribution for the evening - Quiet Elegance, stunning soul music. Ten dollars for this is taking the proverbial.

I used to love those Willie Mitchell productions on Al Green, Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles, kind of 1971 to 1974, that distinctive sound so that you knew straight away that it was that Hi / Willie Mitchell sound, I remember having a poster of Al Green on my wall after the Slade posters came down.
