I can't live without Jerry Hall - Can I Run To You (the version with the good drums)and I would be willing to pay more than market price to get it. So if anybody out there has a copy and would like to sell I'm here waiting....

Desperately

It's Gerri Hall - Who can I run to...I once had both versions of this at the same time, I don't think you can tell the difference til you play them. It just came out on Grapevine though so that'll do me for a tenner

I think it's Gerri Hall? The better version is indeed better. It is strange how this record sounds as if it was swaying due to being played very off center. Last copy I saw went for £600, which is quite a lot IMO.

That's the one. My ability to remember names continues to elude me.

I'd be more than happy to £600 for the better version. So if anybody has a copy, and thinks that is too much money, I'm here waiting for the email...

Great record. One of my faves!

Oh please don't tell me how to price my records, I've 3 or 4 copies of this so I know how rare or not it is, if you want to believe the hype and pay that then fine but you'll have a harder job finding a Donna King than this.

that should say I've HAD 3 or 4 copies not I have 3 or 4 copies

ive seen the backin vocal copy sell twice recently for a £1000 , if you get any spares pete i,ll gladly give you 500 a time

thanks for the posts. It may just be that i am used to the Grapevine version, but i prefer that to both the Hot Line versions

I bought Gerri Hall in Wigan Casino record bar for £3 in the 70's, there was a number of copies about but people didn't seem bothered about it. I suppose it was not in vogue at the time, I think it sounds much better now than in those days! Although I didn't know the drum start version then!

But the Grapevine version is the same as one of the Hot Line versions....

There must be some difference in the matrix markings between the two different versions. Would be great if anyone of you who currently have a copy of this can post up what it reads in the dead wax and specify which version you've got. Thanks in advance!

ive got the drum start with backing vocal version and apart from a nashville matrix stamp it reads 174-1719 scratched in the run out groove and a 86 nearer to the matrix stamp. the I LOST THE KEY side is the same but number reads 174-1720 . these 7 figure numbers are also printed on the label

Does the matrix have a '1' after the 1719 and a '1' after the 1720 ?

Thanks

Looks like mine's the unwanted version as the matrices quoted by me are on my copy.

Not selling it though

Sonatas hardest Hot Line I would of thought?

My copy is the "bongo roll" too!!

Ive posted a couple of photos of the matrix bits there not brill but it gives ya the idea what they look like

I recently found a copyof this in my stored away collection, how do I know which is the sought after version? Can anyone help identify which my copy is?

thanks.

play it easy peasey

Edited January 10, 201411 yr by Ted Massey

What and where is the Bongo roll ? Is this how to identify it. The matrix numbers scrated in the run of has the -1 after them (both sides), Does this mean anything?

Right at the start - drum roll - like this one

 

One without the drum roll is better

Yeah, mine is without the drumrole. That is weird as it has like double vocal on it. Think I prefer the one without. HOw much is this worth these days?

I couldn't tell you, honestly, if you go back through this thread look at the arguments that were going on 10 years ago...was probably cos I'd had a couple of copies recently and sold them several hundred quid cheaper than had been mentioned.  I'd try £800 quid if I were you, I'd probably ask and get that I think.

I don't think anyone is going to own this in good condition for less than a 4 figure sum!!

This is the one to own, you won't get anywhere near the same price for the other one.

Defo pete,the version without the drum roll and one vocal take is miles better,that double vocal on the other take ruins the song,I wouldn't bother with that one,anyway I don't know which one is rarer or more valuable?

Quite popular on the early eighties mod scene.Funnily enough Peter Daley PMS me a year ago...Kev I'm looking to sell this How much.? I say auction it.He got 600 quid for it.I hear it at stoke and pm him...which is when I got the news.

ian wills bought this of  r domart for 12pound then swapped it for cashmeres carver in 90 s

this copy is my third and best condition one i,ve ever seen, it was unplayed when i got it. great dancer john

Actually bob I paid £8 in 1982 off domar and like you said swapped it for a carver and some British demos that copy now belongs to bob Hinsley I since bought another copy the one with the bongo intro and it's a minter

JAMES YOUR IN DEEP TROUBLE....I HAVE MY MINTER FORSALE.

George, read the date on James's post. You missed the boat, in fact the boat has probably been scraped by now.

Bloody smileys have gone again.

The double vocal one grows on you after a few plays! Has anyone sold a copy of this recently - say in the last 12months as I reliease this thread was a bit old before I posted in it yesterday.
