So, I've seen the 2 copies that sold way back in 2012, but have no further idea on how rare or indemand this 45 by Joe Jama is....nice tune, even for a clotheared blues lover like myself....aware that this sort of stuff is very popular at moment, so hit me with good news folk !

Nice, I never knew that one! I only know Optimum 102 .....which goes for a lot of $$$$$$$ 

Just had listen to the flip of 103 and the flip is a nice dancer 'Down, Down, Down'.

Yeah, I know the big one......this actually seems far more obscure, but prices are usually dictated by DJ demand rather than actual rarity and quality.....

Andrew.  Trust you are well mate £1.50 and a packet of oat cakes should seal it mate.

I've just added 103 to the Optimum catalogue on 45cat as it wasn't on there so that speaks for its elusive pedigree!

BTW: I collect the label and have 3 by the Royal Jesters.

Quite nice i could see some lowrider / sweet soul collector interest in it.

 

first time i've come across it but i'm not looking particulary hard anymore.

 

in a similar way sweet memories by robert tanner became a huge record when his other equally good record on same label remained largely untalked about or played.

Open to silly offers if you need to fill a gap in your label run

I think its a lot better than fill a gap.

Now if you'd got it right with 'Oatcakes' instead of 'Oat cakes' we might have had a deal....however, your apparent lack of respect for our local delicacy has left me feeling rather bitter and incredibly disappointed.........so geddafuckouttahere!!!!

Yeah, I put it on FB rare soul valuations as well, but had more replies on here.....had a few nice offers, but been advised to send it to Jason @ Carolinasoul and let him work his magic with it.......which may well be the way forward to be honest.

Incidentally, and quite interestingly, I found this at Nottingham Record Fair (Belgrave Rooms) last Saturday for less than the cost of 2 cheap hookers, a bottle of Thunderbird and a greasy kebab in Crewe town centre (apparently ).......which kinda proves that things do still pop up at the better UK Record fairs, so worth dragging your arses out of bed, leaving ebay alone for a few hours and getting stuck into piles of dusty 45s.....old school stylee.......

Feel free to PM me an offer in private......I obviously have no idea of true value but a handsome offer is always worth chancing!
Won't be offended either way, skin of a Rhino me......

Hello Mace,

Any news from that one ?

Did you finally get a decent offer or was there another case of Carolina's magic ?

Forgot all about it if I'm honest......stacked in a pile somewhere.... was hoping Carolinasoul would source and auction a copy sometime in the near future so I can establish some kind of current value......
