In such condition, that's a serious and surprise bargain for the buyer.

Has there been a find of Doc Peabodys? Sure seems to have been a lot of copies for sale for a normally £4k record…

It went for 2,400 or so.

Interesting - was it sold online? Also, what was the date (this year?) and the condition, of that £2.4k one? 

As much as I love the Ruby Winters record,I was surprised to see it up for auction...finished at £135...

I sold an EX copy of this for 200 back in april. Quick internet research indicated that a M- copy should be 250/300 max.

I’m sure DP listed one at a set sale(cant remember what tho)while the auction was running....

On this Ruby Winters, the label layout is the same as the Canadian copy pictured on Discogs. There is no USA equivalent listed.

JM’s description didn’t mention Canadian though, and John is usually pretty hot on picking those details up. 

I was wondering whether it was a rare USA label design?

 

 

johnny robinson seems to be a flat out of fashion record so i was a little surprised at it being on auction but not surprised it bombed.. doc peabody did sell at £3.5k set sale 2 weeks ago so maybe a little disappointing in auction but over the last couple of years a few more have surfaced... rita dacosta did surprise me.. i have the white demo vinyl copy. Just goes to show  in auction you never can tell which way they are gonna go no matter how you study the market

On closer inspection you're right. It is a Canadian copy housed in an American Company sleeve. JM Quality Control missed that.

Some copies have surfaced so not the bargain you think really

Has Johnny Robinson ever been in fashion, not over the last two or three decades anyway. 

Surprised at price for Cynthia and Imaginations - I listed one recently and had no takers although not mint.

Thanks for the heads up Benji. I’ve only found this one twice in 75+ trips to The States. Some of her other records are as common as muck.

Bingo. I was well pleased to have a line in last night’s auction. paid Kev Draper £25 for Thelma Lindsay back in the early 90’s. Similar deal for Bob Relf. Not often I have a line come up in John’s auctions.

Johnny Robinson was big at The 100 Club at the turn of the century - wish I’d gone for this one now.

well me and trev thomas used to play it in the 90s if that counts for anything lol but back then when it was £100/150 it was an easy sell but i appreciate some guys put the prices up to fall in line with inflation and not because the records are in demand

I bought a mint demo in 1978 in Sacramento. I didn't know it and had never heard anyone play it. Probably hard core collecters knew it then.

It looked nice on the Okeh demo and I did know the Cissy Stone record at that time, so I thought it might be another version! Turned out to be a much better record!

I used to do a lot of collectors cassette tape swops and started putting it on those🎶.

Edited August 10, 20232 yr by Solidsoul

That’s how I got to really hear it.  Very rarely heard it out till  trev and then us played it a bit.. always found it harder to locate than most okeh demos and the issue is as rare as anything on the label

I'm not saying it never got plays, just never any sustained.  It was more a tape swapper sound for me.  I love there record though.

Edited August 11, 20232 yr by Chalky

agree as was a tape where i first heard rather than out and about.. still loads of milage in it if someone would dare to play it.. sadly mine fell by the wayside some years ago now

The cynthia & imaginations hey boy sounds similar to the four dynamics things a lady ain’t suppose to do on peachtree?

if it is the same backing track,which came first?

I sold a mint four dynamics on here some years back,wasn’t a fan of the tune,but I knew it was rare!

cynthia came first.. in essence the same song but not same backing track

Was the Ascots a decent  price folks?? Top 10 tune for me. I know it wasn't the best copy but no one mentioned it,  presuming it's on the money??? Thank you....Rob

Ascots was well down in previous figures. John acknowledged below par condition and the visual disfigurement of WOL surely put off some bidders. On the other hand, someone snagged a bargain that should be OK to DJ with.
