Gene-R Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Just picked up a sleeveless copy of a great LP, "The Mar-V-Lus Sound of R&B and Soul" on UK President (PTL 1002, 1967). Some great tracks on here, including "Master Key" by Harold Burrage and "I Can't Please You" by Jimmy Robins. I'd no idea this album existed. Anyone know much about it in terms of release (ie, was it?) and value? Does anyone have the cover for this, so I can see what it looked like?

pikeys dog Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 £15 - £20. Cover is black, yellow and blue... silhouette of a mans face and the title of the album in ornate writing taking up a large amount of the sleeve - very of its time, almost psychedelic.

Cheers Pikey - much appreciated! Hope I can get to find a cover at some point over the next 40 years! So, £15 - £20 quote..............I'll take that to read that it's worth about £40!

pikeys dog Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Nah - £15 to £20 Had a Mint one in my sales at £20 for ages, finally took a £20 trade on it - which equates to £15 cash in my book. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Philippe Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Gene, it's in the Record Collector Price Guide 2000 at £12.00. I have only one album on President, Sweet soul" by the Kelly Brothers. How many LP's were released ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not sure exactly how many LPs were released on the label, but LPs by The Casinos, at least 2 by The Equals, and quite a few compilations of soul/reggae stuff come to mind. Perhaps Tony Rounce or Pete Smith may be able to shine some more light on their LPs? There was also a sister label, Joy, who had quite a few interesting releases in the late '60s/early '70s, including a series called "Keep The Faith".

Philippe Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Cheers Philippe - but now in the 2006 Price Guide at £25! Well, wait another 6 years, and it will be £50 ! Thanks for the info on the label, I was hoping there would have been more Soul LP's like that Kelly Brothers. It has the same cover as their Excello album, but I don't know if the tracks are exactly the same (?). Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
