Guest Lady Maverick Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Now that I have finished my move...a question...and please move to the right thread if it's in the wrong place. Has there been any other ultra-rare records that folk has paid high amounts for besides Frank Wilson's DO I LOVE YOU...or was that the rarest one ever? Thank you!

Steve G Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Now that I have finished my move...a question...and please move to the right thread if it's in the wrong place. Has there been any other ultra-rare records that folk has paid high amounts for besides Frank Wilson's DO I LOVE YOU...or was that the rarest one ever? Thank you! There are plenty of records at least as rare as Frank Wilson, if not rarer; as for prices at the high end they tend to be kept low key rather than "blagged" about. This in turn leads to wide speculation and incorrect guessing. One record I've heard involving a top northern DJ recently has stories ranging from 3k to 12k for example, and I really have no idea which is correct. Anyway, some food for thought.....

Steve G Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi Maverick ... I agree with Roger .... Sam Dees tracks that Sean Hampsey has ...... Malc Burton I have this too Malc! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gasher Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 great tune yes but not really THAT rare quite a few copies in collections and now and again on ebay so its not really a BIG RARITY like the £1K plus numbers..but bloody good all the same Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-R Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 There can't be more than 1 or 2 copies of Margaret Little on Genebro - surely this must be in the same rarity and price league as the Mello Souls or Don Gardner? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Trevski Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Now that I have finished my move...a question...and please move to the right thread if it's in the wrong place. Has there been any other ultra-rare records that folk has paid high amounts for besides Frank Wilson's DO I LOVE YOU...or was that the rarest one ever? Thank you! I supose it also depends on when they were bought. For example, when Dave Withers paid £175 for James Fountain's "Seven day lover" back in the 70's it was the most anyone had paid for a rare soul record. Seems like peanuts now, but at the time is was a large sum.... In todays world that probably equates to over 4K.

Simon M Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 What an excellent record this is too - Philly 60s at its best!!!! Go on ,tell me how much this one is now Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Modernsoulsucks Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Trevski, I didn't know Dave had done that, but Im gonna ask him. Sure it was worth miles less than that at the time. In fact I didn't think it was worth anything until last couple of years. ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Modernsoulsucks Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 No - It's not true! I assume they are getting confused with the fact that I mentioned Manship buying that record for a large sum when I was on that TV Programme! Dave's reply to Trevski's scurrilous rumour. Dave may be sartorially and hisutely challenged but he's not stark raving mad. ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A big rarity could be a DEMO where the Stock Copy is easy to find, or Stock Copy where the DEMO is easier to find. One recent case was Ric-Tic RT-122 on a White DEMO, Incredibly RARE, The only one that I have seen, and yet it only fetched £82 at Auction. >>> LINK <<< Not really Mavericks Original Question I know, because the question was Intended for Big money records. Sometimes though RARE doesn't necessarily equate to Value. Anyway back to the Big Money Rarities. Edited May 31, 2007 by 45cellar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
