Thios is a spin-off from the frank Wilson topic... I'm just curious of what the real rare records are?? I'll start off with a few I know, maybe you folks can elaborate :ohmy:

The Inspirations on Breakthrough - 1 copy to my knowlege

The CODs on Kellmac (She's fire) - 1 copy

Blue Sharks "These things will keep me loving you" - Only 1 copy known in the past 20 years, one turned up on eBay a while back, whether or not it was the same one I don't know.

Frank Beverly on Rouser - 2 copies

Milton James "My lonely feeling" - 2 copies

Kell Osborne "Law agains a heartbreaker" - 2 copies

Mello Souls - 3 copies

Richard Lackey "Love shopping" - 3 according to Manship

Don Gardner "Cheating kind" - 3 copies

+ other super-rare stuff, sure there are only a handful of stuff like William Powell, Inticers, Eric mercury, JD Bryant, Don Gardner, etc. etc., and I'm sure the list goes on and on, but I'm going to stop now.

Can anyone help populate the list? :sleep3:

[What About rare British Stuff ?

Cant Be Too Many Copies Of 'Soul Joe Clements'

Maybe one For Pete s

Hard to say about Clements, I've never had it but thats because I never liked it so never went after it - I have had it offered - Plexium is a weird label, some records on it are common but some are just impossible, there's a rarer one than Soul Joe Clements, some psych thing (the glass opening or sommat) and that Keith Dangerfield 45.. I heard they were all dumped in a warehouse and lifted years ago anyway. But in answer to your question - I wouldn't have thought there were more than 50 copies.

Although rare not one I'd put in rarest of the rare, and what I know about british is next to f*** all wink.gif Andy D had one earlier in the year, £400 I think.

Hi Paul

Better make that 6 as I've got an issue too.

Paul

SITC

You could be one of the five Paul. There are the two in Dublin, and I've heard a bloke in Wigan has another but I don't know where the other two are. Incidentally, any copy I've heard of have been issues, mine's the only demo I've heard of.

Definitely used to be at least one copy in Wales, and I've a suspicion that bugger John Weston has one secreted about his record box somewhere.

That was the "Decibel" list, it was £275. I see he had the Rosebuds on the same list for £50, bet he got a couple of calls for that. It's a good sales list, he has a web site: www.northernsoulvinyl.com

Ady.

Isnt this Rosebuds just another hype record where there are a few knocking about? I had problems and couldnt bid on one from a German seller on ebay. It went, I believe, for about $11. This can only be 6-8 weeks ago. About the same time as JM was auctioning off one on his site. Last I saw that was nearer the £180 mark. Which is the only reason I would have tried to get the Rosebuds for $11.

I could be wrong, but when a record, not particularly widely known, is being offered in JMs auction, it often gets talked about in Northern Soul chat rooms, the price goes up 5 fold, and lots of people then end up with average records that are plentiful. Give it three months following the auction and you can pick them up, if you still want to for something nearer the original price. I would guess thi is what will happen with the Rosebuds. Nice label, average track. IMO of course.

I know Steve Thomas had/has one (that's where I first heard it circa '97). Richie in aberdeen had 2 that he sold........one of which I now have. Pretty sure Dave Holt had one too although I don't know if he still has it.....

Rare or not it's defo a hard one as I've only maybe seen 3 for sale since '97

The Rosebuds is a pretty mediocre record IMO, and not particularly rare as far as I know.

A friend of mine was at his store 3 months ago, but he just sells nearly everything over ebay. Only some stuff at the store.

This would have been a nice find, wouldn't it?
