£878 for 7 Miles Per Hour Band, bought mine from Soul Bowl for £5 in the early 80's. Never thought it would go for this kind of money!! Although Richard Searling used to play it in his spot. Ahead of his time with things like this!

Can't believe the Martha Starr price - blimey !! Best ,Eddie

Tiares - Let's Be Lovers c/w I'll Never Forget You - Leona £109

Can't believe that, nice looking label but, dreadful record

Looking at those prices Chubby Checker has to be the bargain of the century

Kim Weston - I'm Still Loving You - Tamla Motown £405,why was this so much ££££

a uk red/white demo is not worth that much.

Me neither! Used to be a £2 cheapie which was in everyone's box!

Legit represses are still available for around $9. I'll never understand collectors I'm afraid. All I want is what's hidden in the grooves.

I hate it when people say that

Still, 1200+ does seem a lot.

Out of interest, what was an expensive record when Martha Starr was 2 quid and what was the price?

(Maybe a new thread?)

That is one of the rarer red and white demos to be honest.

Nobody think the Darrell Banks is expensive ?

I thought it a 100pounder ?

Mind you only paid 30p i think it was,..... from cheapo cheapos yet again

Paul,

You shouldn't hate it, because he's talking total Bollox. "Love is the only solution" has never been a £2.00 45 or around in everybody box.

I consider it easily the rarest Thelma 45.

Maybe Ian was thinking of "No Part Time Love" which was a cheapie and in everyone's sales box and lists for many years, now disapperaring.

But to say that about "Love is the only solution" is quite frankly so very wrong.

Its what people are prepared to pay!..............for something that just does not come up for sale unless theres a Z in the month...

if you really want it and can afford to pay more than its worth then go for it!

And they do......every day!....thats part of what makes the scene unique.

John

When Keith Rylatt sold his collection in the mid 80's he had all the Thelmas, Love was the most expensive at £7 all the rest were 2-5 me and andy Spencer didnt half have an argumnet over it but i got in first

I do like to balance out the 'JM auction' threads with what i consider to be a bargain and this one's no different!

Wendell Watts at £186 is much lower than most dealers will have it for set sale and in my opinion is a bit of a bargain

Cheers

Steve

good luck to the chap whos brought it , worth every penny - it could be a while for another copy comes up for sale in that condition .great tune

Was a black one on JM`s auction!

Me neither! Used to be a £2 cheapie which was in everyone's box!

The Martha Star on Thelma that was cheap, was "No Part Time Love For Me".

It is a great record and Soul Bowl had them for a while on the weekly list.

"Love is the Only Solution" was hardly ever available, unless you where very lucky!

"I'm Lonely"on the flip is so good, that you get two for the price of one! Very similar to "Sweet Lies"- Emanuel Laskey - Thelma.

Was a black one on JM`s auction!

In that case - no comment!

=====================================================================

Quite right there John in the late 70,s when i had multi copies of all the rare Thelma 45,s

i only had 2 copies of Love is the only Solution== Billy Kennedy-- Groovey Generation was £5

Martha Starr Love is was £15 always been a pretty hard Thelma piece and always demanded a higher price than the other big thelma 45s

Kind Regards.. Ian Cunliffe

oh pooh, i forgot the Oracles was up

I sold a spare issue via John to a second bidder a couple of years ago for £180 less commision Dave so not surprised the demo reached this, especially with Xmas approaching.

I don't rate it at half that. No UK Stax record is worth more than £75.

I did very well then!

I did very well then!

I think you did! It's crazy to think a Stax record sells for more than £30 to be honest. Is the Darrell Banks record rarer than Sly Girl on the blue Stax? I don't think it is, yet that goes for £25 tops.

Actually I think it may well be. There were always a lot of copies of the Stax sky blues in and around London markets up to the 80s and all new unplayed. Never saw the same kind of thing with EMI Stax though.
