Ellipsis - 3316£

Crystal Clear - 673£

 

[Zanetti]

I would never have thought that a reissue label, one that has a good reputation, would have achieved such a price for a record.
Without going through popsike, discogs and rootsvinyl... what would have been an acceptable price?

[The Yank]

According to popsike, a copy of the Barons sold for 42 pounds in April of this year. 100 pounds seems to be a median price, although there was a copy that went for 175 pounds.

Wasn’t Dena Barnes on the auction this week? Or did I miss it?

[Merve]

I wish I'd have had another punt on the Rex Garvin - I forgot until too late 

[Spook]

Barons only 50 demos pressed and no issues so if its getting plays demand and price increases.

IMO £150ish  however at least a minimum of 2 bidders were after it.

I believe this was because of the sound quality?

I think it's a great tune, but to pay that kind of money for a record that is a modern press of a 60's unreleased track is silly to me!

Seemed to go fairly cheap in these crazyprice days.

Maybe a little too 'left field' for the Northern Classic collecter ??

Apparantly and imo it's also  best speeded up 8 % or 10 % dependant what your deck will do.

I believe it was licensing issues the reason it wasn’t issued?

Reissue? It was never released so it it had got issued by Grapevine it would have been the first issue. 

plenty of examples of recent releases fetching good money and they are scarce

[Baz Atkinson]

Thought Ellipsis  might hit the magic £5K mark genuine rare record . Chuck Ray is fabulous thought it might of went a tad higher ? 

[Tomangoes]

Swapped a Ronnie McCain that I paid about 50 pence for .....for a free Angela LP....about 1980.....and thought I was the smart one.

Still, I'm glad it must be getting appreciated as its a cracking single.

Ed

[Tobytyke]

Kenny Bernard demo. Somebody got a bargain.

[Frankie Crocker]

Dynamics surely a Set Sale record. Went for the going rate.

one Thursday morning in West Winch:

"I'm the attorney for Robert Irvin, James Wagstaff, & Tony Sharp calling with regards to the Barons of Soul record you are selling."

"Sorry that's already gone to Japan"

I'd have probably gone to around £325 if I'd have remembered.....A lot rarer than some that have hit the £600 to £1000 mark recently

Ronnie McCain used to be on sales tapes in the 80's and listed often for £10. I never got round to buying it, even though I did like it as a nice filler.

Rex Gardin we're talking about here

I still love the record and don't think I could ever sell mine.

Part 2 on the flipside is fine too !

That’ll be like 40 years ago then. I know, doesn’t seem that long ago to me either.

I prefer part 2 as it goes ! Any idea what year it was recorded ? Someone once told me it was 1969 (sounds feasible) but I've no idea where he got that date from.

 

[Tomangoes]

JM states 69.

Seem to remember Pat Brady plugging this at the Windmill club Rotherham about 1980? And quite a few copies selling around £30 which I bought at the venue.

Don't think it was a bootleg, and it was not everybody's cup of tea.

Coincided with the CROW and a few other funk rock style tunes.

Great to dance to.

Thanks mate - 69 it seems to be then. 

Yes, was a Pat Brady play at The Fleet in 79. To be honest I only ever remember him playing it before it got booted but I'm sure others can correct me if I'm wrong....The Crow was played far earlier, 75 ish 

A great record

The CROW got a UK release and probably why it was getting plugged again....BUT was it Mecca sound in 75? Can't see Wigan adopting that type of tune.

I did not go to cleggy wg until 76, and cant remember it there, so it must have been and gone. Shocking record...I love it!

Can't answer that as I never went to The Mecca. Remember hearing it somewhere in 75/76 when I first started doing nighters and thinking WTF !...Probably St Ives 

As you say, shocking .....Can I have more please 

Love it too

[Paul R]

I believe the Crow was owned by Dave Godin who used to loan it to Ian Levine at times. 75 seems about right.
