the last one went for £1300+ which seemed over the top.great record but they do seem to turn up fairly often

Yep....certainly not that rare.

Well spotted Pete

I don't like the tune so anything more than £1.55 would be too much for me, just hope the buyer isn't a DJ who could inflict it upon an audience at a later date.

Perhaps this is comedy sale of the day material.

As Steve says not as rare as it would appear,a great record nonetheless and plenty like it, but as with all records plenty don't like it,

Still 5 days to go......

Just noticed on e bay timi yuro at  £1600 with 5 days left and another one next to it on the page at £1800 buy it now , tell me was this a £600/700 tune 12 months ago ???

LP copy for a fraction of that, but that's collecting for you ..

 

oh, and for me Baby Washington is much better

Got to agree as i've got the Baby Washington version

Yep....certainly not that rare.

Your  right not rare at all loads of copies in peoples collections true price £500 -£600 imo , only ever gets played at local handbag dos , you would never hear this at rare soul venues.

Makes me wish I still had mine but I got tired of hearing it, playing it and, ultimately, owning it. Price when sold? Fifty quid...

 

Well it was 1995.

Strange cos recently when i was just about to spin it , Ted Massey told me that he played it twice in one night doin a guest spot, Personally i think its a brilliant tune, It may be common, but iconic to the soul scene. But hey some people like marmite. 

this was in 1988 and had only just been uncovered, the reaction to it was amazing cant remember the last time I played it

I usually end my spot with this especially in the east midlands and allways dedicate it to the late great Derek Allen , played it last Sunday at the Festival at Trowel and completely filled the floor , even Sam Moore was dancing !! very happy to keep playing this record. As said available on the album , was released on stardust and also the bootleg that's seems to have been floating around forever. the current bidding price proves that an original will always hold it's price or indeed increase in value and that boots / re issues have no effect on the originals market. Regards S.

well demand out ways supply and these oldies ,the last three copies all fetched well over £1400

 

yes we can all say were is it going to end,its not  original 45s today is a world  wide collecting scene not up and down the uk

like years ago ,

 

yes you could pick Timi up years ago for £150 i have sold three tomagoes and four Nabays in the last five years all for around £1000 one tomangoes went through ebay last month $8000  so the sign of the times

 

if you bought a old Etype Jag ten year ago for 10K today you would get £60K same with cars ,paintings ,records

all go up in value

 

I have also listed Rita & Tiras classic gone with the wind on dori in my sales with Timi Yuro this you could pick up ten year back for £300

 

so let see what offers i get on this 

but least the record scene is as healthy as ever before, and with people getting access to there pension pots now

can see a lot of ladies going out and buying there minx coat ,guys buying records they always dreamed of owning

good luck to them

 

best

Edited April 1, 201510 yr by ruppy

Agree with you Mick..like yourself...Timi Yuro 150...Rita and The Tiaras...250

 

Not any more

 

As you say collecting these items is more international than ever...supply and demand

this was in 1988 and had only just been uncovered, the reaction to it was amazing cant remember the last time I played i1

1988 c'mon Ted that was just a few weeks ago,, haha

Most of Teds are on 78rpm so dam rare

Glad you keep forgetting to play it and long may that continue.  

Sign of a good DJ when they forget the dross and play proper tunes, that might be why you are invited behind the decks at Stoke.    

Are we saying that none of the Stoke resident DJs ever have within their oldies play boxes a Timi Yuro?????

Both!

Timi Yuro is mental money, compared to Baby Washington, really don't understand it!

Are we saying that none of the Stoke resident DJs ever have within their oldies play boxes a Timi Yuro?????

It'll be in the same box as The Snake

On the subject of other versions, has anyone heard the Pat Lewis version? Got a copy on 'Joe Boy' which I believe was bundled with a CD as the record has a CD holder middle in it. Whats the score with this version, I have checked her albums but no sign of it on those.

Brilliant or not its never worth more than £500 or £600 even current market value as i said before its now played out at local handbag dos only.

Hey lot handbaggers  think the Snake is rare.

No it won't

Buy the LP, you will save a fortune for other vinyl delights.

Only if it`s on the rare STARDUST label!

Still sends shivers every time I hear it.

I've the Canadian release of the album, It doesn't really matter what it's on really though.

I think when the final analysis is done, most would agree it's a bona fide anthem eh?

Jim

Just put a copy of the album in eBay Sales forum

Agree with Jim gives me shivers too - ace record regardless of vinyl price etc etc. Just a brilliant soul record.

Well it was 1995.

 

I got double that in trades four years earlier.  Would have been going for a bit more in '95.

 

Very pleased my copy went to the lovely Dawn Brown, who gave it the best home I could wish for!

Hi Gene glad to see your still watching the scene.

One of my many fav songs 

Only if it`s on the rare STARDUST label!

The label doesn't matter when the tune is crap;  you can't polish a turd.

I was too young for Wigan, so when I listen to tunes my assessment is based on merit and in the absence of sentimentality; on that basis (merit and without sentiment) 'TY - It'll never be over for me' still sounds crap no matter how many times I hear it.  If a DJ needs to fill the dancefloor Detroit Emeralds - Feel the need will get the handbaggers off the bench just as easily and that'll cost a fiver.

Timi Yuro was never played at Wigan though it first started going big late 80's.

Gene was the first person I knew who had a copy.

Absolutely brilliant record, p*sses over Baby Washington's version.

£100 would have seemed excessive to me in 1995, as I wasn't really on the scene then and had no idea of values. I bought my copy (£15 from Mick Smith in Stotfold?) in the early-80s simply because I liked the Small Faces version. It never got any reaction when I played it out in clubs in those days as it wasn't regarded as a big tune - too Country and Western in fact as someone once informed me!

 

I think it went to Manship along with a R/W 'Walk With a Winner' and a yellow London 'Fortune Teller' - also £50 each.

 

Where is the Tardis when you need it eh?

Hi Jim

IMHO Bobby Paris Night Owl is a NS anthem, TY is a mistake.

If you like anthems pin your ears to this and try playing it at an event, the audience might lynch you before the end

Stu, as a Wigan 'veteran' it wouldn't bother me if I never heard Bobby Paris again, what a racket.  Bobby Paris "I Walked Away", now that IS a record to savour

Are you sure you're not referring to "What's A Matter Baby", ElGeePee?  The Small Faces covered that on the flip of "Watcha Gonna Do About It", but never covered "It'll Never Be Over...".

Hey, is that you Mick?  How's things?  Hope you're well.

Ha! No, you're right. What I should have said is I bought it because she had done 'What's a Matter Baby'. Christ, I must be getting Alzheimers.

And here is the difference between not liking a record, which is what that is. And identifying a crap record.

It`s most certainly not crap!......ok, so you don`t like it and that`s fair enough........but I don`t like, in fact I absolutely loath Get down with it - Little Richard, but through gritted teeth I can hear that it`s a quality track .

this is one of the few tunes that makes me emotional

Crazy Money !! Where will it end??

One thing we seem to agree on is this 45 isn't as rare as the price tag suggests, so for me the main reason it is commanding the sums that it does can only be down to demand, folk from right across the scene, serious collectors, DJs, dancers and even handbaggers (hate that term) appear to, in the main, like the track, hey ho,
