hi all, its allways nice when you see a mint 45 with a pristine company sleeve, and even better when you find one yes there are mint 45s out there but its getting harder to find true mint copies even some that look unplayed still have surface noise etc. got me thinking that how hard is it nowadays to find unplayed in demand, classic, rare 60s stuff, with collectors happy just to own a copy in any condition until that minter comes along, personally i love to see a pristine label being either a issue or a lovely crisp white demo aslong as the record plays though! my questions are, what 45s have you never owned or seen in unplayed condition? what label is the hardest to get a minter on?, always found musicor issues hard as they all seemed to have some signs of ringwear. what 45s are the hardest to get a minter ie bad recordings, sound quality, defects, water damaged labels etc? these questions are based on 60s recordings russ

love this tune mark, have had a issue which i sold cheap on here a while back, and managed to pick up a mintish demo with its original company sleeve for alot less than i sold the vg+ issue!! just out of interest do you class this 45? NS or popcorn? or something else? happy hunting a really nice underplayed slab of mid tempo magic regards russ

grant, this 45 is the b*ll*cks!! seen it for £300 to £500, dependent on condition but i would think £400 is a good ball park figure. russ

NOW SORTED thanks for all the replys russ

some "reissuses" "counterfiets" do get through the net, for example the joe douglas - crazy things belguim boot, which until quite recently was never thought to have been booted was believed to have been purchased from a known site for £200 a few years before.

totally agree again, to be fair i have been offered a mint- copy £300, which like you say may be the way to go, i only held out on price because after seeing what jms auction made, and as john as stated the last few through ebay have just about managed to make the £200 range. i believe the only reason why more have not come to light is that it is a cracking double sider and is staying in most collections. most probably my other want is more harder to obtain. regards russ

agree john, maybe a few years ago when this misspressed 45 first came to light and was in demand hence a price tag of £450 imo this is not a rare or indemand 45 so i believe what im offering is a fair wanting price. yes i could have brought a copy by now, and maybe if i had known not til after jms recent ausction which made £280. you get slagged for not stating a wanting price and shot down when you do! cant win..... good to see you on friday mate russ

suppose now i will get a few pms offering me a copy for £450......
