I assume the plain pink one is only worth £350 now, I could probably do one at a 75% discount of that.......

The live version is way better but that's a Dig Deeper exclusive of course  :wicked:  :shhh:

You have to hand it to Mr Manship hes a very good business man, he sure knows when to auction a record, I remember he did it with the flirtations nothing but a heartache when it was on a TV advert, cant remember how much it went for though.

I bought a copy of the garnett mimms = as long as I have you = mint uk demo = £20 of manship 2 or 3 years ago, it had just been issued on a cd box set for fathers day, sold it for £230.00 ??????????????

Is it the same tune as pharrel Williams.....doesn't sound like it to me, different words too!!!

I was surprised when i saw that he had put this up as an auction item, but not as surprised as i am now.

Gave my multi coloured issue away years ago to a friend...& no I dont regret it, nice record but still only worth £20 really...

Hi Russ,

 

Funny thing is, I'd need to be desperate for cash to get rid of mine as the label is just toooo pretty!!

 

 

 

Cheers,

I'd sell my multi-coloured NM copy but what would I get for it realisticaIly 

I sold my original multicoloured issue copy a few weeks ago on E-bay for £100, would have got more but it played with slight distortion on the high notes.

Sold on the 16th for £62.00 on ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310892998501?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

That seems a fair price, one I would happily pay.

It would have sold for twice that had it played perfectly. Luckily the seller play graded the record and was honest in his discription regarding sound depreciation. I wonder if all e-bay sellers are as accurate in their gradings, considering that most (all??) original copies of the record are styrene.

Its all down to the subtle art of "sampling" 

Old soul boys can have hours of fun listening to the newies and trying to figure where that hook originally came from :thumbsup:

Just hope the are singers getting something out of this,

Correct Jim!

Although in fairness it's almost identical - except for the tune and the words that is. If giving a song the same title as another qualifies as sampling then surely Ken Dodd should be in for at least a bit of dosh for "Happiness" as it shares almost all the letters found in Happy and is thematically linked to boot.

 

Now can we stop talking about these two boring records and maybe expend a bit of energy on something else. Like my criminally ignored topic about a German blue eyed soul 45 for instance :lol:

I have the pink one and it's vinyl.... I thought they were all vinyl??? :g:

Didn"t we work out on here some time ago that the pink ones came first and then the multi coloured ?

 

Cheers Paul (who dumped his pink one BITD after seeing a multi coloured and thinkilng he had a boot)

No, flowery ones are deffo styrene.

This P Williams song seems as far removed from Velvet Hammer as William Bell.

 

Must admit, I just don't hear anything similar, other than the tempo, (In the same way that "I Am Nothing" by Al Williams has the same tempo as "She Love You" by the Beatles - absolutely nothing in common other than this one aspect - just about)

 

Is this why people have been putting threads up about an instrumental cover version of Pharrel Williams? - I didn't realise it was being associated with Velvet Hammer until I read this thread, and couldn't understand the point of those "cover" threads from a couple of weeks ago.

I must have missed this topic and I'd be interested in it!

I thought you would be too! Here you go:

 

I was hoping Benji or Marc might chip in as well, to be honest

 

Sadly I can't add anything to the conversation I'm afraid.  :(

Pink second, Multi 1st was always the thought.

 

Both originals are they not ?

 

Multi coloured styrene west coast press, cream east coast vinyl press

 

that's what I understood the difference to be

I did.

 

 

Harrison copied "Oh Happy Day"  for My Sweet Lord, did Pharrell Williams  have anything to do with that? :lol:

He's So Fine, not Oh Happy Day

 

 

That'll teach you to post clips without listening Rob :lol:

He's So Fine, not Oh Happy Day

he paid out for he's so fine, but years later admitted he had originally ripped oh happy day.
