Pete S Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The Volumes - Gotta Give Her Love - Astra label, yellow vinyl...saw this the other night and thought it looked interesting, but anyone know what it is, why it's not on American Arts etc?

Benji Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Astra was a Pittsburgh based bootleg label, think a local radio DJ was involved. basically they "reissued" all the local hits... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest andycambs Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 2nd time I've seen one, gotta be rare compared to American Arts, seen hundreds of those so not really a waste Pete Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-R Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi Pete, From what I can glean (as I've had one of these in the past), the Astra issue comes from 1965 (a year later than the Am. Arts release). Believed to have also been pressed on red vinyl, like other Astra issues of the time. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Cheers Benji...wasted me money then! ...I've seen it come up on eBay twice on Astra, and both times it's gone for considerably more money than an AA one would. I think that it's a favourite of the doo-wop collectors who have started to move into sweet soul group collecting... TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I was happy to pay $50 for mine a few years ago, and sold it for about £30 to a collector in the UK. Edited September 28, 2006 by Gene-R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
