It has crossed my mind several times, as to just which re-released track or tracks are the hardest to find, and most expensive. I have many of the old classics bought in the late 70's, so have a kind of interest. or are they all worth pennies?

Are we talking boots here or the legal (ish) re-issues on Uk labels from 70's & 80's?

If boots, they have for me, no value at all.

He's on about boots, reissues, pressings - USA ones.

They make up most of my collection, sell the originals, keep the pressings. Very precious to me.

Except the UK's, obviously.

In my experience the following boots (2nd issue) are the hardest to find and can fetch quite high prices

John & the Weirdest--Can't get over these memories--Tie

Del-Larks--Job opening---Queen City

Hebert Hunter---i ws born to love you----Spar

Eddie Paker---I'm Gone---Awake

Salvadors--Stick by me baby---wise world

Luther ingram--If its all the same to you--HIB green

Ronnie Mcneir--Isn't she a pretty girl---Deto

Damon Fox--Paking up---Fairmount

Salvadores stick by me baby Wise World 1st green boot (no dimples !)

proffesionals coloured wax Belgian/Dutch ? boot !

both hardly turn up and are sometimes sold as originals !

I saw a Yum Yums boot go through ebay at nearly £200 a month or two back.

Any one else see it, think it was sold by A45Heaven so it wouldn't have been a bargain original.

I'm not differentiating between bootlegs, official releases, they were just known as 'pressings' and The Inspirations was one such, at the time..

as Pete says it was classed as a pressing back in the days.

Theres at least 3 pressings of Little Ritchie, the one above, one on 77 Records and one on Sound Plus (thats the first one)

Rufus Wood - Before 2001 - don't see many about now

Yes that one is rare and always has been. Another very rare one, I forget the artist, it's on the Goliath label - Nat something?

I think mine was the sound plus one pete.I heard it on the main floor ar Wigan about 78-79 and went to the record bar and bought it there and then.

So is that a legit pressing or boot?

cheers guys. i have herbert hunter, eddie parker, salvadors. i have never in all my time, seen a copy of maurice williams-being without you for sale. is this not rare, de-su?

Also, as an aside, isnt The Royal Vibes- "the wigan joker" not a collectors item? being the only record (that i know of) bearing the name "wigan" in its title?

Maurice Williams got pressed twice, one was a counterfeit green label but with silver lettering instead of gold, second was a maroon label that looks nothing like the original. £10-£15 each.

I think mine was the sound plus one pete.I heard it on the main floor ar Wigan about 78-79 and went to the record bar and bought it there and then.

So is that a legit pressing or boot?

Sound Plus and 77 are definitely legit - not sure about the "white demo" Sound Stage 7 one. Probably not.

The multi-coloured oot of Sam Fletcher and Eddie Foster (?) must be the rarest.

Bobby Bennett - Alone With My Tears boot must be pretty rare too, forget the label

how about, edward hamilton 'baby dont weep' on mary jane, coloured one not the black & white one

how about, edward hamilton 'baby dont weep' on mary jane, coloured one not the black & white one

Only ever seen one of those, ever. Didn't even know about it til it was showed to me, had an original with me and we compared them.

What about Kenny Smith "Lord What's Happening To Your People" on Goldspot?

Ian D

Yes that one is rare and always has been. Another very rare one, I forget the artist, it's on the Goliath label - Nat something?

That's Nat T Jones "Moving Forward".

I have two copies - but you're right Pete - very hard to come by.

Sean

A quick flick thru Manship's guide to boots n stuff shows Mel Britt one of the most expensive.

Rufus Wood - Before 2001 - don't see many about now

i sold one on ebay last september 50 quid!!!!

Yes that one is rare and always has been. Another very rare one, I forget the artist, it's on the Goliath label - Nat something?

Nat T Jones-Moving Forward sold one last september again for 50 quid....had an original also...sold now.

mine had hardly any run in

What does this other pressing of it look like then compared to the original please? Didn't know about it either. Thought the boots were black and white and the originals were nashville stamped on vinyl with the red/white/blue label, with or without Mike Terry credit.

Or is that the first issue ?

Think the original has a Nashville Matrix stamp (sold it now so can't check), the colour boot has a wider label and no stamp.

Or is that the first issue ?

I'm sure Goldspot is a legit first issue. Different take as well.
