I think the issues go for about £350 demos £450 I may be wrong and I think the yellow copy are about £100 lees

the issue is much rarer than the demo , ive see it go for as much as 500 sterling depending on condition im sure j manship sold one on his auction site last year for more

the demo normally goes for around 250 - 300 again on condition

theirs two on ebay now one at$316.81 and 212.50 both purple

The Dave and Rubin version goes for around half the price of the Majestics I believe...same tune but missing the intro of the majestics version

Thats what got me thinkin Leon, a yellow demo went today on the bay for £316 i think, so was curious what the difference value wise is with the purple/yellow demo/issue,

If memory serves me correctly it's the Warner copy of David and Ruben that's missing the intro - the Rampart release is the same as the Majestics.

Plum is rarer than than the yellow one and has, as someone pointed out earlier, sold for £500 + on Manship's auction, I got around £350 for a yellow demo a couple of years ago on Ebay, but to be honest this is case of value being determined by demand and not rarity IMHO. Not many weeks go by without one or the other showing on ebay and personally I've seen fewer David and Ruben Rampart copies than Majestics in recent years.

yeah i saw that pete but i was always lead to belivie purple went for more but i'm not an expert

yeah i think thats right

If you get it on Rampart it is the same as the Linda release with intro

Nor me mate, also curious as to why the colour difference? was one released before the other? so that would mean a first and second issue? or were they pressed at different plants? etc etc..............

i have the david and reuben version on rampart with the intro

sorry ted you beat me to it

Think you will find the Rampart issue is the rarest release of the lot

As per my previous post Ted, I'm convinced the Rampart one's the rarest too, as I've seen very few of them by comparison to the Majestics (both colours) and hardly any Rampart issues. Although it never seems to sell for than than either of the Majestics releases

you could be right but then there's david and reuben why ? it's a mine field

LOL theres me thinkin i will get one post listing the most rare to the least rare with estimated values and dates of release!

As you say Leon, never that simple is it? i even hesitated askin as i thought it may be to obvious to not know and i may be looking foolish for not knowing such a widely known fact,

Anyway thanks to your good self and all the others for your input, its now a tad clearer than mud LOL

Pete

off topic but just noticed my posts stayed on 189 throughout this thread, how does that work then?

Had my Rampart issue for 22 years now - and I'm sorry to say that I'll have to be buried/cremated with it!

Bought it off Graham Anthony from Chaddesden, who was a Rampart collector. It was the most expensive record on his list at the time - a whopping £35!

I was always under the impression that the Yellow Linda is actually the DEMO of the purple Issue? Are there two issues of the Linda version? ie. A Purple Demo?

Cheers Dave, if that's the case it makes things a whole lot clearer,

Cracking tune and even good to hear David and Reubens version. but as much as the song itself i am intrested in these type of acts and what else know about them, other releases etc

IMHO, ITS A SHITE POP RECORD WITH AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN DIFFERENT LABEL/PRESSING VARIATIONS (NONE PARTICULARLY RARE) WHICH IS TYPICAL OF THE NORTHERN COLLECTING SCENE NOWADAYS, BLOODY MINEFIELD....AGREE RAMPART ISSUE RAREST THO' .
