Does anyone know what the Gifted Four on HAMITO-SEMETICA is worth? I thought it was about 20 - 30 quid, but there's one on Gemm for £100. Who's right?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry to have to disagree with J-Brew but at the moment i think £100 is about right & it's sure to rise way higher as demand dictates values as we all know. Saw a copy go on e-bay for about £120 a while back.

Also not sure that Hamito - Semitica is the 2nd press as if you check the serial numbers with a CSC copy you'll see they are the same (104). The same company pressed them both so it could be a reigonal thing.

The really rare copy though is the 12" issue & yes it does exist. Only ever seen one though.

Aye, you're probably right , Martin...I was thinking outside of the 'sudden demand for it' value, which to me was always £30 tops. It's nice enough (apart from that dodgy bit about 2 minutes in - you know the bit ) but just find it weird it suddenly got picked up on over load of other 70's that haven't as yet. Again, like everything, horses for course, etc. Is a 'big name' spinning it all of a sudden?

Getting quite a lot of spins in the Yorkshire area by the likes of Andy Whitmore, Errol Green, Rob Wigley & me if anyone's daft enough to book me .

The other side (Fallen Star) seems to be getting a few plays too but it's not a patch on Choosing IMO.

Stumbled on a 12" a while back from a record dealer in your neck of the woods called Damac music but never recieved it. Guess he realised it's true value

Pretty sure Hamito-Semitica was first, got mine from soul bowl mid 80's.

Think Rod Dearlove was selling t'other label a few year's later.

Both legit, great record I think, used to play it @Scala 'nighter's back in the day

As for value no idea but a lot of those soul bowl front "new and recent releases" page were limited presses(3-500) so it could be a rare(ish) one

Didn't Richard Searling play it during the last Wigan day's(night's!) as Natural Four? Or have I got this horribly mixed up.

PS Yes Chris counting the day's 'till Gladys!!!

Paco....if anyone knows you will...........i used to ask you at Wigan 'what's this?' and all i wanted to know was Artist and maybe title....you usually told me who produced, local label....what the artist had for breakfast on day of recording ...sound engineers favourite colour etc.....you get the picture....so i reckon you would remember if anyone

I just had someone ask near me ask this and he expected me to give the usual answer "I don't care", but I read this out loud instead . Apparently, it's true - ta!

I have it on both labels and was recently shocked at how much the 2nd issue was fetching compared to the original release (posted it on another list). I have the order on good authority, asked coz I keep meaning to sell my "spare" labels ...someday

ps. go Aussies!!! Horns were blazing on the Sydney streets after their draw tonight. "Better than the olympics", my friend wrote

Hi Steve,I remember buying one off you,still got it,think it was more like ten years ago,time flys eh

Found it............12'' on HSR says Ham - Sem underneath, pinky label, massive runout groove, also IMO 'Fallen Star' kicks 'Are You Choosing' into a cocked hat...............bought this off Rod @ Voices years ago, is this a first or second press & is it worth anything ???? Dont think I paid more than £10 - £12 for it.
