I'm looking to upgrade my very poorly looking copy that I've had for 30 odd years.

Absolutely no idea how much a copy in good nic would be.

Any info all?

Cheers

Jim

ABOUT £120 FOR A MINT COPY

I can do you an EX one for £85

Is that a blue copy or the Nu VJ copy.

Would say this is a good competitive price....might find one £5 or £10 cheaper...if you can be bothered to wait....kind regards.....Rob

For £85?  Do me a favour.  If it was blue it would be £10.

That's mega cheap for the VJ copy even.

what's the uk djm go for now?

£10? It is a different take to the Nu VJ copy altho I do remember it being sold for £1.20 in the glass box on Wc balcony.

It's no different apart from 5 notes at the end of the record, when it comes to a sudden halt

good price from Pete S, grading will be spot on as well.

Don't suppose you've still got this Pete?

I don't mate sorry...had two at the time as well!

The NUVJ people sent me 400 of the W/DJ demos for free many years ago.

The demos had been stuck in their USA  office all the time the record was repressed and so on..

I rang them up about licensing "Come On Train" for Inferno and in passing said to the guy on the other end of the phone that I really wanted a W/DJ copy.

(A few years earlier I had a W/DJ one  given to me by David Yates at DJM which got broken one particularly drunken night when we were playing records the night before a Ritz All-Dayer and I had never even seen a demo since) Dave released "Come On Train" in the UK and was sent from NUVJ/Vee Jay the  one W/DJ copy which I wangled from him.

I don't think anyone in the UK had ever seen another demo, which makes sense as I had now found out they had been lying in this office all this time.

Anyway the guy was nonplussed and asked why I wanted a promo copy and I replied  because I collected them. He said hang on a minute and came back and said we have 400 or so here, did I want them?.

I spluttered yes please and he said as long as you send the advance for the Inferno release they would send the records for free. Didn't even charge

postage.

Unfortunately the Northern scene was imploding at the time and I sold them dirt cheap!. 

Had my w/dj for a long time, so maybe have to say thank you Neil, so thanks.

I bought mine( w/d) in either 81 or 82. The guy who was selling them must have had about 25 pink issues but I think just a couple of Demos. I bought the Demo and one of my mates bought a pink issue( which I now have !).... It's funny because he also had probably 50- 100 copies of Epitome of sound as well ( proper ones of course).... Everything was in multiples !

(These were being sold at a local Northern Soul night)...

I wonder who it was ? Probably came via you though Neil !

I wonder though which is rarer now ? The W/D or Pink issue.... Great record any way you look at it !

Best, Ivor

Did a load of the white demos go to Dave Withers - I remember him selling copies off for £4 and I think he had pink issues at £3

I'm fairly sure my white demo came from Dave Withers at around £3 to £4

I think I've still got an issue and a demo, will have a look..might sell one..

I sold lots to someone in Manchester, don't know if it was Dave?

Well I had over 500 of the pink issue when new release and that was only me, so WD much rarer, the label said the 400 I had were all of them.

John had loads of good stuff back in the day. 

Mind you we all had, if only we had kept back a few copies of the stuff we had stock of.
