Oh RC will be all over it if it gets sold for a big number……but us soul collectors have always been the poor cousins where they are concerned.

 

They'll probably credit whoever auctions it with discovering it and not mention the chap who did find it  :lol:

Thinking about it. Nobody should own this and nobody should play it. I suggest that we all own it, well 100 people, ie raise a fund, amount to be agreed  and it should be placed in a Museum for all to admire with dismay...

Exactly why it should be sold on here (if sold at all) & not on Manships auction.

The owner first inquired about it on this site, it's authenticity was confirmed on here so why on earth would you want someone else to receive all the glory & a hefty 20% commission on it.

With a record like this history will be made wherever it is sold & the big collectors will all have a maximum they will pay wherever it gets sold also.

The only thing is Cunnie, if it was advertised just on here, wouldn't it be seen by only a limited amount of soul collectors?  I know Manship earns his pound of flesh via commission, but he seems to have a much wider buyer base and audience, and of course seems to gets top dollar on most rare items.

Could this then make the Darrell Banks UK stock copy the first soul record to be owned under shared ownership, or even to have shares in it?

It won't be just advertised on here though. It's already plastered all over facebook for a start & I bet (assuming it's sold) that the winner already knows about it.

Yes, I think it would, but the importance of this find, in my opinion, justifies for it to be in the public domain under shared ownership and for ll to see.

I posted it first thing, with the photos, the number of shares it's had is phenomenal, in fact you could say it's "gone viral".  Always wanted to say that.  Don't know why, it's nearly as bad as saying "choon".

Needless to say, if that was mine I'd have already taken the 10K I was offered for it earlier  :lol:

Because Manship is the Sotheby's of NS vinyl auctions. 

 

I do agree with the points you made, but part of me wants to witness the fanfare of a JM number on this disc, if it isn't sold already. Can you imagine the 'sizzle'? !!!

I really can't contain my excitement.  Oh hang on, yes I can after all.

I need somewhere safe for it now.....under the mattress, in the airing cupboard :(  I think I knew it was the one but just did not want to believe it with my own eyes, bit shocked tbh!

 

Neither under mattress or airing cupboard.... you'll warp it & if you get 10k at auction don't buy a car... it'l depreciate to 5k :(

Stick it in a Swiss bank vault :)

So is that official Pete, that 10K has already been offered for it?

Yeah but to me, when it's nothing to do with me!  I just posted it up in facebook and said it was the real deal.  If someone had offered me 10K for a record it would have been done and dusted already :-)

Good evening Dave. by the law of averages they have both been trumped by the issue so I would assume that they have now decreased in said value

Just the sight and thought of the London stock copy seems to make the London demo a little insipid right now!

Fantastic find, well done. Darrell Banks is the obvious mega rarity ,but what is in the rest of the large collection mentioned at the start of this thread. A nice run of mint mid 60 s London releases would add up to a fair few pounds. Maybe once everyone has calmed down you could let us know what else you found.

Personally, I think it's nobody's business what he paid for it. 50p, £50, £500... He said it was part of collection anyway.

 

Obviously everybody on here is very soul focused, but London label collectors are a rabid bunch, who aren't very keen on demos. I would have thought ebay would be the only way to sell this, to get the full coverage and exposure it warrants. If two soul fans want to offer £10k on a Manship auction, it'll go for £10k. If it got listed on ebay, both those soul fans would bid. Plus a whole load of rock'n'roll collectors and wealthy Russians and Japanese brain surgeons and investment bankers who earn £10k in a single day. There's a whole world of eccentric and rich nutcases out there who've never even heard of John Manship (sorry, John...)

 

Congratulations Nick, just goes to show, never say never. Bet your PM box is burning red hot...

Probably stems from the fact that most London collectors, particularly those who have little or no interest in Soul music, collect the label ostensibly for the Rock n' Roll side of it, and it's known that RnR collectors always favour stock copies over demos.

The other factor, on the sale of this is, its  probably limited UK to collector demand.

How many U.S./Japanese buyers will be interested compared to the Motown etc. "full set" collectors that wanted Frank Wilson,

or some of the Shrine stuff that John has sold recently ?.

Nick hasn't even hinted at selling it yet, has he???

 

I know if it was me, I'd NEVER sell it.

 

And I think I'd probably retire from collecting if I was the one to have found it. I mean, as a British label collector, what else would there be to keep me collecting???
