Any guesses how many known copies?

That can't be right surely? Got to be one of the rarest and best 45's on the planet.

Makes you wonder what Manship would get for this and the Springers. Has either 45 featured on his auction? I can't remember.

Bloody hell!

You won't. They are all being played as originals by Dj's who can't afford one with the blue print.

So what's it worth these days? £2k?

You should know by now Mace, you will never stop the bootleggers. Now all this time has elapsed since these records were made, it's open season on re-issues I'm afraid. I'm totally against boots / re-issues what ever you want to call them, but most of the dealers/Dj's have been involved in some way or another since the early seventies. Better they make bad look-a-likes rather than trying to counterfeit the originals. It's never affected the price of originals to proper collectors anyway. Relax mate.

What's up Mace? A bit touchy aren't you?

I'm sure Tim Brown said that Ray Agee said it wasn't him on the record.

I like the record and it looks great, but I find it impossible to dance to, so I've never lusted after it.

I give up...........knock yourselves out..........I blame YouTube for this. Barstuards.

I'm 58 you know………...

Exactly, I would rather read the thread without having to play all the youtube clips. I could then write down the titles and waste my life listening to them at a later date. A much later date. If people want to bore one another with recommendations why not set up a cd swap? How am I going to have time to moan about everything if I have to spend my time listening to all these clips? Stop it.

That's what I meant. It just ruins the thread. If people just wrote their recommendations instead of posting clips it would improve the ability to make head or tail of the thread. Some of these threads take for ever to download because of the youtube content, and I just lose the will to live half way through and give up.

This thread just goes to show the vast differences in taste. You say tomato, I say tomato. We will never agree. And yet whenever there's one of these threads, people can't resist putting you tube clips up. Why? the ones that are any good I am already aware of. The rest I sit and listen to, and wish I hadn't. Please can you just write the title, and resist from posting endless you tube clips. I can easily find them on you tube myself. Like I said, I have yet to play one of these clips and think wow! I must have that record.

James Lately just a dirge to my ears. Don't think anyone would be interested it it wasn't rare. Just my personal opinion of course.

Not fair for whom? I think there's only one winner don't you?

Come on Marc. There were a lot of the Cautions turned up in the big find. I've had three, and Manship has been slipping them out ever since, all mint. It's certainly not a rare record anymore.

I don't think it is Byrney. If the oldies crowd get to hear tunes from the Stafford era through to today, they will dance to them. If you look at stuff that people like Ginger have got and then played in their sets they have gone on to be massive on the oldies scene. If the Dj's on the oldies scene slip the odd one into their set, after a while the dancers will get used to them. Look at tunes like "Jeanette" wasn't that a Butch spin years ago? Massive at the oldies clubs.

Yes, Dickie never had Sandy Golden.

The first ones that were played definitely had that "northern" quality Barry. But most of the stuff that I have heard lately, have been dreadful. I would be insulted to be played them at a northern do. Not even danceable.

Maybe we should use the terminology that they use on the various car forums that I frequent. They have the same heated debates about "Classics" vs "New Age" versions of the same marque. Both are now old cars, but the arguments still persist.

How can there be an oldies vs newies debate, when there aren't any newies. The records that are seen as newies these days are actually "Funk" records, and bear no resemblance to "northern"

How much is Morris Chestnut Warren?

How many copies of SG are known?
