Any idea's what its gonna be

 

??? ???? C/w ???

The tease for 2013 is:

The world’s RAREST Northern Soul Record will feature HERE to end 18th. December in time for your best Christmas ever!

The suspense of holding this 45 is killing me

Gold vinyl Professionals only know of one copy

Darren

Surely it won't be just a different format of something, but will be a single known copy thing?

It's probably going to take John a week to do the wright up on along the lines of .;

And so I give you the sword of swords only a few knights can gaze upon it's majesty , this prize of prizes only one knight can be crownd Arthur to weild the The Excaliber of records , a record of such devastating power slays all other DJ's before it , Behold this ledgend , the vinyl was produced from the first polymer ever made , The pressing plates forged from the silver of slain king's crowns . the Paper on the label made from the last felled and oldest oak of old England , the ink's made from the milk and tear ducts of a unicorn. Only one can possess it now who will pull forth the sword from the stone ?.

Brilliant, funniest thing I've read in ages

Thank you good Sir.

The Just Brothers on WAND....it's gotta be

There is an unheard Little John on Go Gate, the release papers have been seen but no sign of the 45.

 

Hi James, how many copies of the "known" Little John?

Well done Steve how much do you think £5000.00 ?.

 

Who gives a flying f"ck anyway. There will be very few people on here who cam even consider being able to afford to bid on this

Can't see Dickie letting that go!! 

 Darrell Banks- Open the Door c/w Our Love on mint unplayed UK London issue

 

or 

 

Volumes on Pama

 

Surely Sandy Golden has been booted by Soussan or did I fall asleep after 2 pages of the recent and ongoing postings.

Gerri Hall on UK Sue?!!! :)

 

Oh No.  Don't go down the British 45 route.  We'll have mention of Darrell Banks London issue , Volumes on Pama and First Choice on Pye , TMG525 R/W demo.

Plus more I cannot think of at present.  

Duplicate. Removed.

Hi James, how many copies of the "known" Little John?

 

3?

Is there just one with Mr. butch  the other one " I shook the world" is also one copy as well isn't it ?

 

 

Yep Butch has the only copy as far as I know, many said it didn't exist but it definitely does.  He also played it at the last lifeline.  Little Johnny Hamilton (Keep On Moving) is a one copy only (the original) as well isn't it, again owned by Butch.  The rest are later test presses aren't they?

3?

 

5 to 6 isn't there?

Incidentally, if a big record did come up for sale....Inspirations....Del-Larks......whatever; how many of you chaps would be there bidding?

But Sandy Golden isn't the rarest northern soul record is it? 

 

No, true but a non soul collector in Plymouth finds one in a box of non soul material……so what's he to do?  I know JM Auction…..gets rich in time for Xmas...

Too late!

Probably, so it won't be that.

Jesus. Apparently "My Room Is 6 X 6" by Tony Turner on Musicor actually does exist!

 

No smoke without fire.......

I reckon it will be a one off thing - probably West Coast

I'm just thinking that.  A couple of hundred quid is most people's top bid.  Anyone bidding over a grand, I've got no interest in watching flash people throwing their money about on bits of plastic.

Very good !

I think your all forgetting one thing and that is that JM has always billed FW as the rarest 45 on the planet so I think IMHO it will be one of those or another one found. . . Maybe an issue????

FW never got beyond a limited demo press, half dozen I think.

Thanks Nev.

 

 

That would be Paul Ackley from RAFA club serious shades of Soul... a genuine confirmed copy .
Counting the eBay copy a couple of yr back, 3 plus a acetate I reckon George.

i think its RUSS WINSTANLEYS signed copy of TOMMY HUNTS... " LOVING ON THE LOOSING SIDE".... SPARK DEMO ....priceless..

Not got Boba to glue the Don Gardner back together has he?

Nah!! not having that old story, and surprised so many still do, it's motown, its american, they dont press a button unless its to be pressed many times over........do they??

cashmeres show stopper on shrine . and just brothers does exist on wand

Oops, sorry bout that , just got Darrell Banks and Volumes in before your post, but I'm sure JM would love to sell both these.

Rick

The clue is in the "c/w" in the description....meaning it's a double header! It all points to SG....

Have another look Steve ??? ????/???= the ????/???

If it's literally the rarest, it must be one of a kind, therefore the first copy to turn up. Basically a record never seen before but maybe a track heard on a master tape or test press. Surely there must be other records that fit the description? So, it's not in Butch's playbox, maybe something only rumoured to exist but could be an issue of record only seen as a Demo or on a coloured vinyl. I reckon it's a Professionals white demo on red vinyl in a company sleeve...or something similar in an unusual format.

_{How about  a Lester Tipton white demo  or a Lada Edmund jr on shrine   :thumbsup:}    

there are hundreds of one-offs (or "only one known copy" records) that you could call the "rarest" soul record. it has to be a one-off that there is already demand for or that people would get excited about.

Whatever it is his promotion has well and truly worked. Again!

I guess a lot will be disappointed.

keep up Mark there was one on ebay a while ago. 

Missed it but that still makes only 2 copies. Lol

Sorry but I mark Chalky right on this. Plenty of records never got beyond demo on major labels.

 

 

 

and just brothers does exist on wand

 

Ever seen one Bob?

Any idea when all will be revealed?

Also note the ORIGINAL is in upper case in the description is that another clue e.g. It is not an acetate?

I know it ain't meant to exist but is it the Originals "suspicion"

Edited November 22, 201311 yr by jim g

Tease should really give the game away. For all you guys used to finding the link in the cover up title to the actual track being played I'd have thought this was easy

 

Its my old copy of Lighten Up by Larry Atkins.

 

It fell out of its sleve and ended up in about 8 bits.  The tease bit, is beacuse every time you try to take it out of the sleeve a little bit more comes off.

Thought John had already had, and sold that years ago??

_{How about  a Lester Tipton white demo  or a Lada Edmund jr on shrine   :thumbsup:}    

 

Neither of these exist!

Sorry but I mark Chalky right on this. Plenty of records never got beyond demo on major labels.

I know that, what I am saying is if there is one two three then there IS somewhere an awfull lot more. . . Somewhere

Ever seen one Bob?

Nope, this doesn't exist sorry…..

 

Neither did Walter Wilson Steve but I believe you now have the one I found!

 

Or has your research unearthed evidence of its non-pressing?

Yes I reckon so, the only Pete Garris sourced record to appear on Wand was the first one on Garrison "Humphrey Stomp"....all the later ones were put on Garris's own label.

No need to speculate further: it's Backfield in Motion.

 

 

I just heard Ian Dewhurst's trousers explode.

The JM tease has changed to:

 

The world’s RAREST Northern Soul Classic ORIGINAL!

 

 

 

That rather changes the direction of play then....
