April 16, 200817 yr Who's paying these prices for the Tempests LP? Lunacy. Agreed but still cheaper than the last one auctioned. That went for over £400.
April 17, 200817 yr All I know is Wendall Watts £1759 what a tune not to sure its worth that money though, although saying that there's a lot more readily available tunes that fetch alot more that. Think Sam was going for it. It's pretty rare but I cannot recall what it sounds like, as I don't have it myself.
April 17, 200817 yr 8) Timi Yuro- "It'll Never Be Over For Me" Liberty (E+) 809p 16) The "three before 8:00 " demos (E+ to mint) 563p Now I know the collecting world has gone MAD. Good luck to JM , but who in their right mind is paying these prices. Its jaw dropping figures.
April 17, 200817 yr Fave tune on that list is Gracie Dumas. Reasonable finishing price for the buyer too.
April 17, 200817 yr Think Sam was going for it. It's pretty rare but I cannot recall what it sounds like, as I don't have it myself. Here's a link to the auction finish with soundfile: https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction/newli...tionItemID=3154 Not heard it before, thought it was the stand out tune of this set of auctions, had no idea it was worth so much though

April 17, 200817 yr Agreed but still cheaper than the last one auctioned. That went for over £400. BIZARRE, WHEN YOU THINK I LISTED ONE AT SET SALE FOR £60 LAST YEAR AND IT DIDN'T SELL!
April 17, 200817 yr Who's paying these prices for the Tempests LP? Lunacy. I paid £50.00 for it in the late 80's and it stayed at that price for years! - I always wondered why. So going by todays mad prices, it's probably ok. At least it is a great soul LP, not as mad as some records that have been bought in the past. Going by sound alone - Well worth the money. Len.

April 17, 200817 yr Think Sam was going for it. It's pretty rare but I cannot recall what it sounds like, as I don't have it myself. Remember Guy Hennigan used to play this Wendell Watts in the late 80's early 90's. When Ebay first got going it was the kind of obscure record I thought I might find, but never did!! Great record!
April 17, 200817 yr The Wendall Watts is prehaps the rarest on the label along with The Precious 3, most of the stock was skipped when Ted Jarrett moved house in the 80s. THE MAN IN BLACK
April 17, 200817 yr Think Sam was going for it. It's pretty rare but I cannot recall what it sounds like, as I don't have it myself. Steve Sam's just been round to our house and I took the opportunity to ask him whether he'd bid on this - he had, but didn't get it. Brian Edited April 17, 200817 yr by Brian Ellis
April 18, 200817 yr It's Kiss a good thing goodbye on ref-o-ree, great record but sounds like it was recorded in the back of a transit van. Lovely record, but the intro sounds like something out of '60s Bollywood!

April 18, 200817 yr Who in their right mind would pay 450 quid for a Major Lance record? Who in the right mind would pay £4.50!!!!!!!! for a major lance record???
April 18, 200817 yr That means he'll be cash rich at Letchworth tonight then Then he just might buy you a cup of tea ........ but don't hold your breath .

I think it's worth the money, hardly ever seen for sale, last one was on e-bay and went for close to four figures if memory serves me right. Cracking record too.
April 19, 200817 yr I think it's worth the money, hardly ever seen for sale, last one was on e-bay and went for close to four figures if memory serves me right. Cracking record too. Yes Chalky i'm starting to agree with you I knew it was rare but not as rare as that. I was willing to pay £950 and bid up to that, I thought I stood a good chance but got blown away by 3 other bidders. Seems I'm gonna be waiting a long time to add this to the collection although what sometimes happens when a record goes like this others come out to take advantage of the current demand hopfully theres a few out there.

Fantastic record! Difficult to believe it's that rare 'cos Ref-O-Ree releases seemed to be quite well distributed at the time but I've never seen it - I would have snagged it if I had 'cos I love Wendell Watts. I also loved "Grooviest Thing This Side Of Heaven" by him - another brilliant mid-tempo track IMO......... Ian D

Ian D Ian, Just to validate the rarity of the Wendell Watts, this is the one and only copy I've ever had for sale, the four collectors scrapping for it at the end, knew exactly how seriously rare it is.

I'm pretty impressed - that must have been a difficult decision...... Here lies an interesting thread John. What are the records you've sold which you really wouldn't have minded keeping for yourself? And, furthermore, can a major dealer also be a full-time collector or is there an inherent clash of philosophy there, i.e., what do you sell, what do you keep etc, etc.... Ian D
