s7oul Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Was this record ever booted. For an average tune why is it listed for 3 figures ? Cheers Pat Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It might be listed high, but you'd struggle to get anywhere near it's 'book price' - I had a copy a few year's back that went for around £100 on Ebay.

Guest Johnny Mack Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 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) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Mack Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Glynthornhill Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 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**** !! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Corbett80 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 "Was this record ever booted.

May still be there for the interested. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Shsdave Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
funkyfeet Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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.
