BobbysGirl Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Hi, I've recently got back my old soul collection from my deceased ex husband. Encouraged me to buy a turntable...oh my! what fun we've had reminiscing. I've got a copy of The Exciters - Blowing Up My Mind. I'm assuming its the first release? RCA 47-9723 It's been professionally cleaned and graded VG , it plays better than it looks as It's got some marks obviously. Middle pushed out too. It's the same copy as in the you tube video. Wondering realistically how much it's worth if anyone has time to help me? Cheers Carol KTF Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dobber Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Middle pushed out? Is it orange rca label or yellow? Maybe a pic? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andyf Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 US releases were yellow (promo) and orange (issue) (large hole). Aussie releases were both black small spindle hole. Hope this helps Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Thecivilservice Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 1972 reissue sells for £60 on average on discogs in VG+ as your copy looks to be. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ladymidnight Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I might be missing something obvious here, but what makes this the 70s 2nd issue? 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
BobbysGirl Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 To be honest I've looked at lots of posts and sales ...discogs, ebay etc. I assumed this was first issue as the number is different to most versions for sale. There are more than one orange RCA versions on discogs, I'm sure it matches all the details of the earlier version. I'm no expert and I really appreciate all your feedback thanks.

Ladymidnight Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Cos unless I’m missing something this is the original issue copy whilst the orange 48-1035 is the 70 reissue. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

BobbysGirl Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 There's an article from 2018 in the forum... that's the same copy as mine. It says the reissues have "mono" on them. Well, its giving our brains a workout eh? Ha ha " Blowing up my mind " Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The 47 - 9723 (69) release came out with GWP both above and below, possibly from different pressing plants? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ha ha " Blowing up my mind " whilst the reissue does state mono the only thing you really need to know is the catalogue number, 9723 is first, 1035 is later. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Can you add a photo of the other side Carol or tell us what it is please ? Do you think or know if the recording on your copy is stereo or mono ?

Dobber Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yes if yours is the orange 9723 its the first release, and most dealers would list that at around 250 quid,privately maybe 180 quid,and all dependant on no less that ex/vg+condition! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
