July 21, 200718 yr Had a handful of copies of this 45 - if memory serves me right they came from a certain street stall in Soho in the mid 70's - think I still have one left ....somewhere Other record that was real easy to find at the same time was the Andy Aaron and Bonnie Blanchard 45 on CRS Quid each - tops !

Happy days John Was it the Rupert Street market stall? I used frequent that stall regularly and I'm sure I remember copies there regularly even in the early '80s (along with multiples of Barbara Lynn 'Thanks I get' and TSU Toronados 'What Good ...') In fact the copy I sold a couple of years ago I'd had off a UK seller (not 'northern' dealer)
July 21, 200718 yr Yep - that's the one - Rupert Street My memory aint what it used to be, but I can remember buying stuff off a guy with a flat near the BBC Studio who was travelling regularly to the USA record hunting, but cant for the life of me remember if it was the same guy who ran the market stall. There was definitely a connection there. Lots of boxes of that Summit record on Pouland

There was definitely a connection there. Lots of boxes of that Summit record on Pouland I think he owned the stall and a record store along Rupert St (mainly selling LPs). There was a younger guy who used to work the stall (in the '80s anyway) and was a friend of ours - can't for the life of me remember his name now though. Think Ady or Mark Taylor would remember as we were all regular visitors.
July 21, 200718 yr Certainly remember there being an LP/used record shop adjacent to where the stall was so its deffo the same place - always a good place to pick up a few records !
July 21, 200718 yr Certainly remember there being an LP/used record shop adjacent to where the stall was so its deffo the same place - always a good place to pick up a few records ! Think there were two nearby at one time a small one with two floors and larger shop on the corner. Used to get a lot of the - then - modern things off the stall too all at about 50p each things like Marc Sadane, Bobby Womack 'So many sides', Dells 'Your Song' - like you say happy days
July 21, 200718 yr Got: Summitt - 'Farewell (I'm Leaving)' (Pouland) Donald Height - 'Rags To Riches To Rags' (Honey) Huns Review - 'Don't Make Me Love You' (Sorro) all for 10p each in the late eighties from a used record dealer in Wisbech, cambs. (must have been a 'yellow label blow-out' day!!!!).
July 22, 200718 yr Had a copy of Summits ' Farewell Im Leavin ' in my sales box for around 5 years at £10 , no takers. Then Levine said it was ' rare ' - NO its not but hey presto sold it for £35 then. Chuffed its a pile of S**** !!
July 22, 200718 yr Listed list for sale on 13th July here on soul source, it's still available if anybody wants it. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52050
July 24, 200718 yr "Was this record ever booted. For an average tune why is it listed for 3 figures ?" should be booted out of the window..... there was a copy in a record shop in Berwick Street by the market for over a ton I think. May still be there for the interested.
July 24, 200718 yr Yeah got mine from there, it was the stall outside Cheapo Cheapos, & at various times was "run" for Cheapos by a very young bunch of chappies, Ady Croasdell, Tony Rounce & Ian Clarke. Wonder what happened to 'em Great place for picking up boots (I was almost young) & cheap originals. Oh happy days, young & fairly innocent
July 25, 200718 yr What's the point of saying you bought this 25 years ago for 10p and that there were boxes of it about, it's todays price you need to worry about it books for £200 which maybe a little high, as people don't rate it, but it's a lot cheaper than a lot of other records which you can find a lot easier. Unless you buy it today or next week for 10p let's keep the discussion at todays prices.

There was definitely a connection there. Lots of boxes of that Summit record on Pouland That'd be me squire, I worked for the chaps who ran it and learned my dealing trade there. The US trips were for myself, I still live near the Beeb. Most famous find on there was a 25 box of Jimmy Thomas' The Beautiful Night' when it was massive and there were only one or two known copies.
Was this record ever booted. For an average tune why is it listed for 3 figures ?
Cheers
