Haven`t heard of any new quantity being found and I don`t think the one one bay will create an inflation Nev . Awesome oldie and I love both sides. Just only too expensive for me LOL!

LOL! Just came bback from a local record shop...on the table was what once was a box full of these shite bootlegs, Otis Rush/Cobra and Checker, Albert Washington/Finch, Jack Pot, Billy Lamont/King even Sax Kari on J.O.B. plus loads of other titles. Hopefully the legal owners of the rights of these titkles will track those criminals down and sue them heavily. No mercy with the bootleggers shall be my new parole for this year LOL! I expect the usual suspects in this town to fire one hellfire of rockabilly and R&B bootlegs next time they will have accepted their next exclusive dj booking for 50 EUR LOL! Marc

without being a psychoanalyst I suppose it has something to do with the thrilll some may get from "having had a bid on so and so...could have won it if not blabla..."

..and what a nice pciture of the group was published within this sale! If an original copy of that would be coming along the 45 the price would have been somehow justified..

...and if you don`t find it look out for Roy Butler on Boo....even better version ....in the meantime you could also try to persuade me to part with my mint Zodiac copy

...and went after this thread started from under 2000 up to over 3ooo USD LOL

Hi Richard I gladly tape/record you whatever tunes on these two labels your are after mate! Just pm me. Marc

Yes, but no, but yes...but Johnny Howard for example always was "rarer" as 45s like the Dealers. The Dealers -a great 45 no doubt- is never ever rare enough to justify anything more then 50 UKP top IMO. Even when I was young this 45 was still around in quantities and used to demand 5 UKP... Jimmy Soul Clark "Tell Her"...another timeless Rare Soul 45 that was (and to my knowledge still is) 5 UKP...wonder who will re-activate this and what price tag it will then demand LOL!

Don`t understand the last part of your sentence as the results of both -ebay and manship- of course in most cases do include more then one single person (as is the idea behind auctions anyway)? Prices are a result of demand and supply and if a second person is willing to pay more surely the "new" price is what the highest offer will be. having said that a record is only worth what the next buyer is willing and prepared to pay for it anyway.

No problem at all, you have all my sympathy for having wanted a 45 badly enough to have paid whatever it did take. Furthermore my respect for having the balls to stand up in public and admit it was you. There was no offence meant thats why I used ";-)"

Please feel free to send me your wants list

Bob, you are being serious ? wow, always loved it and thought it to be very rare..but at these prices...jeeezz. Going to be another impossible want (for me) then.

No, and there would also be no more richard marks record anymore LOL!

sorry, must have overlooked the other thread

https://cgi.ebay.com/RICHARD-MARKS-NOTE-7211-NORTHERN-SOUL-45-ONLY-1-HEAR_W0QQitemZ300392908878QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item45f0d0084e Didn`t realize it was THAT rare....

Seem to remember I sold my second and last copy (sold the first 13 years ago) three+ years ago for 250 UKP...must admit I did not realize any kind of "hype" on said record until this very recent ebay auction. Which was result-wise indeed frightening...to say teh elast. So since when has this become such an expensive indemander ? Marc

And I can`t tell ou how much looking forward I am. Especially to watch telly afterwards in your living room again till half past eleven in the morning just like we did after Lifeline LOL Hugs Marc

Remember giving this as a present to Pat Brady when it was still unknown...

At a wild gues they are mainly aimed at the Funk and R&B crowd, especially the young(er) DJ´s and collectors who can`t afford or don`t want to hunt down the originals and/or want to play safe with tested "killers". AlbertWashington/Finch, Gloria Irving/Charm and other semi-known tunes plus such R&B oldies as Charles Sheffield (second repress already!) make me do believe so..

Although the amount of recently bootlegged R&B, early Soul, Titty shakers or what ever you wanna call them 45s is almost frightening I believe that the amount of re-pressed and booted Jump Blues, DooWop and R&B 45s from the ealy Seventies to mid eighties still is much bigger. It never was safe to buy blind if you didn`t do your homework IMO. Marc

Seconded...very hard to come by and what a tune! Maybe one or two /year on ebay. Wouldn`t even sell my copy for 350 UKP LOL! Marc

Which, if I remember correctly was cracked by one certain NYC based radio jockey who was lend the 78 to play at his show...a one off until some ten/twenty years later another copy had been found.

It may defo not be to everybodys liking but I always loved this mans output!

well, said copy was mint minus, a WD...in a trade. Maybe you were lucky ?

wouldn`t say rare...more a case of being indemand and therefore expensive. Had 1 demo and two issues over the years, so maybe the demo a tad "rarer". By the way Tommy, I remember having aired this four years ago at the LIDO for the first time...as you know the place very well you may imagine how said tune worked at that place. Fabulous. Marc
