Popular Post Modernsoulsucks Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 My take on this is that yes it's kinda gratifying that you have some of the 45s that go for big bucks on various auction sites particularly when you've paid a lot less. However it's the 45s you haven't got that are rising at the same rate which means you can get priced out of collecting. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The proper Soul version by the Intruders on Gamble is more affordable, about $1490 cheaper !? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Knowing you I'm undecided whether you were ahead of the curve or just round the bend. During lockdown and reaching 69 recently I came to the conclusion that in relation to the cost spending on 45s no longer makes sense. Took up fishing instead. A learning process. Had the hook in my own lip the other week ! 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 JM referenced this particular tamla disc as desirable, collectable, in demand, etc as opposed to super rare. That attracts a different breed of buyer. The price of the said disc will fluctuate as it floats in and out of the top 50. There must be a conveyor belt of the next "big" oldie to push and capitalise on its sale value as "those buyers influenced by demand" start bidding. Not sure its ever been different, just more folks wiser to the sales ploy. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Starr go cheep to me as he was desperate to get the other record.Jamo Thomas is very scarce on promo. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tobytyke Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 I would have thought Polydor and other record labels would have pressed the same number of demo copies of every record they released and then forwarded them on to the same people/ radio stations every time. Therefore the only reason Jamo Thomas, Edwin Starr etc are "rare" is because they are tucked away in collections never to be seen rather than the number available. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

What Dave was saying is that all polydor red and white promos seem to be scarce and i would agree.I dont think polydor did a promo on everything as i have never seen a promo of either the holidays or the inspirations. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rictic66 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Yes you’re right Wheelsville. I think it was 1966 or possibly sometime in 67 that Polydor stopped A demo copies, but even before then they did limited numbers hence all rare.

That's a strange way for a record company to operate. How would they expect the product to be heard in th first place. It's not surprising they didn't have many soul hit singles Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
