I know someone that is after a copy, reissue or OG. Anyone got one in their sales box?

Thx

Mike

id love one to mike but what the hell is an og?

Has anyone ever seen the original on "Al & The Kid" in the flesh?

Do you mean the 12"?

Surely this one has to be included in the "Rare Modern" thread of a little while ago, if it's not already there?

Hi John I got the Al & the Kidd 12" of this. Rare but certainly not 15 copies or less category.

This has been on my Wants list since it began.

Thought it was about £400 but not in the Hen's Teeth category.

Shaun all ways plays this at RSG. :)

Mikeshawe, if you get lots of PMs please put some my way :thumbsup:

Cheers

£400 sounds a bit steep but if the Fynil Vynil is selling for more.. Got mine from Rod Shard aka modernsoulsucks on soul source, it was £30 or 40. I think they came from Dave Withers, he was listing them at the same time but I missed out there.

I recall Dave listing the 12's for a while and I recall I kept missing them too :thumbsup: $50 I think they were.

He also sold C Coulter for $50 - think he got them from the same source (Maxx Kidd). And no I wasn't the lucky one unfortunately.

Dave Withers , he sold Memphis for a couple of pounds .. I think he sold some 60's stuff for peanuts back in the 80's too

Sorry Doc, no pm's at all :ohmy:

Maybe it is like hen's teeth.

Keep at it. Where would the fun be if every record was easy to get. :thumbsup:

At some point over the years I have compared all three issues and from what I can gather they came in this order.

1980 promo 12" "Al and the Kid Records"

1985 7" on Fynil Vynil BLUE LABEL (not sure about spelling label)

Late 80s / early 90s Bunky Records RED LABEL (Was this an official release or boot ?)

mmmmm Red label is official release. That might be an option.

Thoughts on prices for the above three. Anyone????

Cheers

Doc

I've got one for sale if someone wants to make me an offer. In fact I've got a couple of hundred 70's / 80's 45's that I was going to list on e-bay when I can get around to it, but I'll post them on here first if anyone's interested. Stuff like The Four Tracks - Charade (Note), Sam Dees - Fragile, Handle with Care, Oscar Perry stuff etc etc. :huh:

All the best

Gareth

Sorry, I forgot to say it's the blue one on Final Vynal...brand new on here, as you can probably tell !

With the Al & The Kid 12" going for about £400 and the Finil Vynil 7" going for £700 (as I've seen on here and on lists), this must be one of the rare ocasions where the re-issue goes for more than the orginal. Is this the 7" phenomina taking over.

The other occations I can think off the top of my head asthe Kent singles which were orignally released on CD and released later on single rather than a single released from an album

Can anyone think of any more?

I was told that it sells for about £ 40, but I have no idea myself. I bought the re-issue on the red Bunky some years ago (early 90's I think) from a guy who was something to do with Am-Trak records ???? ...memory fading with age :rolleyes: ....He was selling from a small stall at a shop that Bill Shannon owned in Croydon....cost me a tenner, then I found the one one Blue Final Vynal and sold the red one on Bunky....Whatever happened to Bill...real nice bloke....used to get some great records off him at the time. My mate found his first shop in Bracknell before he moved to Croydon and we picked some incredible stuff up from him....walked in one Saturday morning and he looked up at the pair of us and said ''I've got a Melvin Moore for both of you...£50 each, ok ? :shades:

I last saw Bill Shannon while i was in Vinyl Junkies in Soho a couple of years ago. He was dropping of stock at the shop. Still has a distribution business and yes still a nice bloke.

cheers
