SR 1 is worth about £10.

SR 7 is expensive (even though £200 is optimistic) because it has got "Talk About Love" on it, which is EXTREMELY rare on its original US Charay release (releases really, as it was issued three times, but is still almost impossible to track down).

So what's the consensus on the value of the Charay release of 'Talk about love'. I know it's not valued very highly in Tim Browns guide unlike their other Charay outing 'What does it take'. Can anyone give me realistic current value for this

Thanks :rolleyes:

It's a bit strange to see the rather common euro releases of this tune selling for £100-£200 and then both of the mega rare Pic & Bill issues of "Talk About Love" on Charay (issued with two different flipside) sell for only £200-£300. Based on quality and rarity it should be £750 at least. I don't know how much it is in the Tim Brown and Manship guides, can anyone please check?

The first release of "Talk About Love" (the exact same recording, but about 20 catalogue numbers prior to the Pic & Bill issues) is credited to Fiery Spartans (Vocal by: PIC & BILL) and I've only ever seen one copy of that one and it's the one I've got. Not interested in selling it, but would ask for a LOT of money if I ever did.

If anyone has got their "What Does It Take" 45 on Charay for sale, please PM me.

Thanks Sebastian,

I had this on an tape from John Manship years ago credited to the Fiery Spartons. Always assumed this was the cover up name! Picked up a copy of the Pic and Bill release on Charay for a few dollars of ebay a couple of years ago.

I understand that some of the european releases of this aren't such a good recording as the US Charay issues. Definately in agreement with you with the quality and rarity of the P&B Charay release, I've only seen this for sale once or twice and it's always been expensive... Never seen the FS Charay issue, must be mega rare!!

The french Soul Record release has got decent sound quality, but the one on spanish Belter sounds very muffled.

Here is the Fiery Spartans release, it is indeed insanely rare:

The Fiery Spartans probably were Pic & Bill's backing band and that's why on the right on the Fiery Spartans label you can read "Vocal By: PIC & BILL". There is no need to put up a soundclip because the Fiery Spartans release is identical in every way to the Pic & Bill release(s). The Fiery Spartans 45 and the Pic & Bill 45s have been pressed using the same stamper and has got identical matrix markings.

love this Zombies like pop tune by the way, didn´t know that this came out on Charay 1st before Revue

95 Johnny & The Mark V - Sands Of Malibu / Down The Pike

:yes:

Thorsten

I agree, it's great! :( Both sides actually, nice rocking instrumental on the b-side. I also have it on Revue, but original issue was on Charay.

I used to collect the Charay label but gave it up as it was too damn confusing. It's "bad" enough to only collect Pic & Bill 45s... :thumbsup:

Sebastian, additions are in bold. There are others but I'm not sure I've got the will to fill them in!!!. Talk about confusing there are 10 Pic and Bill issues for no.60 four of which include "Patsy" and then you look back and see different versions by Orville Couch, Mitch and the Mistys and God knows how many versions there are of "Alpine winter". Strange indeed.

Thanks for the additions! :thumbsup: It's the same version of "Patsy" which is included on all 45s, it's an instrumental and Major Bill Smith seems to have included it on 45s when he didn't want to "waste" studio time/money for a second tune. The track entitled "Cool" which has shown up on loads of Major Bill Smith-connected 45s is the same recording as "Patsy" and it wouldn't surprise me if "Alpine Winter" also is the exact same... :rolleyes:

Do you know of 10 releases of Charay 60!? :P

Should have guessed "Patsy" was an instrumental, and as you say probably the same with "Alpine Winter".

I miscounted Charay 60, there are 9 issues :

What would I do/What does it take (to keep a girl like you satisfied)

Patsy/What would I do

Patsy/The soul of a man

Something's wrong with my baby/What would I do

How many times/Funny how time slips away

What would I do/Funny how time slips away

How many times/I love you baby

How many times/Patsy

Together it's the end of time/Patsy

Nightmare for "completists"

Thanks rolleyes.gif

paid about a ton for mine, worth every penny IMHO, you see the French release all the time, allot fewer Charay 45's come up..

 

they did the flip of the Moovers Brent 45 'I Love You, Baby' (60) on above listing... in fact dont know which came first but I love that song on both versions... Come Back Baby on the Belter Lp is the other stand out Northern wise i suppose, didn't make ANY crap records this lot!
