Just seen one for sale at £60 - is this right?  I've got one I was going to list, NM, US Mercury, still in company sleeve.

Sounds high to me.

I've seen anywhere between £30 and £70 depending on condition. I think some prefer that 45 version with the sax, over the LP which doesn't have the horns, hence price gone up as more have looked for one.

 

Maybe not relevant but I'm sure I read somewhere some time ago that Dee Dee Warwick never liked the 45 mix as it didn't really seem to allow her vocal take the lead. I tend to agree for what it's worth.

 

I think you'd get £60 for NM in sleeve.

OK that's great info, thanks Steve

Big favorite of a certain Sydney Soul Sister, In fact they all became very animated when it got played....which is how I got to love this record, cost ten quid back then...

This was in a box of stuff I'd listed before at £5 each about 18 months ago, no takers, was about to put it on Discogs for £5 when I noticed the only one on there was £60!

Liza calls it 'Rainbow' and we have to play 'Emperor' with it every time... strange though changing tastes, I think you should get at least £45 for it Pete, Girls record for sure.... and if that makes me a girl, so then so be it...

I got £50 for it mate :-)

I always remember Richard Searling rating this and playing it often on his CFOS Sunday Radio show.

Those were the days, great Tune , though I'm surprised anyone would play it out.

I have a nice white US mercury demo bought it from Italy around a year ago for around £45,played it in a spot i did in Huddersfield at the end, a few months ago,great track especially with the sax,and played a lot by Richard Searling as Mick says a few years ago.I have the other version on an album too ...

Bugger!

 

I'd have given you a fiver for it Pete.

 

It's a good record.

Chris Anderson had it on his site the other day for £30

correct..um'd and ah'd about buying it again, he who hesitates, as they say......great tune, got the lp but have to disagree.....single version miles better and huge at "the manor"

 Pleased you um,d and ah,d , cause I didn't 

I have to disagree, for me the LP version is much better than the 45 

 

But that could be due to the fact that that was the one I heard first - Canal Tavern in Thorne many years ago!

A quick search reveals that I'm not alone either: https://mickeynold.blogspot.co.uk/2007/10/rainbow.html

Oh yeah, I'm definitely with you on that one John  

LP Version:

45:

Must admit, never heard the LP version until now.

Neither are very good. LP one is better but too loud.

......in your opinion Pete? 

 

I think both versions are superb in their own right (imho)

Er...obviously

Dee Dee is one of my fave singers and I have almost everything she released, so I could be deemed to be biased.

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say I dislike the 45 version, I like both for different reasons - but the album version just sounds better.

 

 

Obviously that's just my opinion... 

While we're on the the subject of the 45, has anyone got a vinyl rather than styrene version of the 45… .

I've never seen one,don't know if they exist, [maybe too early ?] but i"d love one. PMs welcome !

 

Superb record…...

Beautiful,  real SOUL !

I've never seen one, but my 'I Haven't got Anything Better to do' is vinyl..

 

You might like this John.. also got a very nice Aussie demo 'Funny How We Change Places' pretty rare 45 on Australian..

 

this could turn into a Dee Dee Warwick fest!!

Same here Malcolm, my 'I Haven't got Anything Better to do' is also vinyl, but it does appear that "Where is that rainbow" is styrene - although it's not all that obvious like the 70's styrene 45s are.

 

Nice one with the Australian demo too, I've just got 3 different US copies and a UK promo of it (!)

I drew the line at that and decided not to go hunting every different countries release by her   

Although.. if any were to cross my path cheap enough, who knows
