I'm unsure of current demand but for me it could be above that figure, maybe up to £1K.

Quite an early record, from about 1961, and only ever seen demo/promo copies. Has always been quite a tough record to track down. I think Des Parker was the first person I heard play it out, and I managed to pick up a copy from the internet not long after, probably just before it become popular on the R&B and Mod scene…..that must have been 15 years ago or maybe more? There were a ‘smallish’ number of people I heard play it before it started getting plays on the Northern scene……great record in my opinion…..never thought of it as a Northern sounding record though, so not sure if more copies turned up, but I guess they might of?

Flip of Cool Jerk US 45:

That does look great!

I've had a Susan Rewis - They Say on red Columbia issue.......I've never really seen many of them only the odd few (maybe?), most seem to be white demo's. This was my copy but ended up selling it a number of years ago 😃

Agree mate.....sounds completely made up with the vocal being a tweak of Tony's.

Agree, doesn’t look right……the description states it’s an ‘acetate’, then at the end states ‘heavy weight vinyl’……from the pictures it doesn’t look like a metal coated acetate…..probably just a carver. The different hand writing and pen types for ‘Final Mix’ against the other writing doesn’t look right. Looks like a photoshopped acetate label with text removed and then ‘Otis’ credits added by hand later with a felt tip pen.

Agree........there's a number for sale on the internet......even one for £150 (which seems quite high to me but maybe I'm out of touch with current values) from a real reputable long time UK dealer. Maybe bidders don't look beyond the auction site?

Am I missing something on the Dorothy Williams and Bobby Marchan……I’d never of considered them as auction items….. and thought they were no more than £75 each?

Heard this on Radio 2 the other week and quite like it, not heard of her before…….it also led me to check out her back catalogue and there are some other good songs she’s recorded in my view - ‘Shaken by the wind’, ‘Talkin bout heartaches’ and ‘The last time’ are a few worth listening to……there are others as well.

He did a similar sale a number of years ago……but I can’t remember exactly when……could have been 15, 20 or 25 years ago, as I remember buying a decent size bundle of records and feeling quite pleased with how much I’d saved. So, he has definitely done it before.

The ‘assumed’ song title you mention "one room country shack", sounds like some of the lyrics at the start of this track by Ronnie Milsap……could it be this?

How much please.

The Lucozade 'Mods' advert was actually 25 years ago!!! Made in 1998.

Barbara Dane and Jimmy Ruffin look a bit hefty on the price tag to me……I’d have thought £150 each…..tops………or am I way out of date these days?
