A Few Killers On Offer

[George M]

This is a fundraiser for immediate paypal credits, hence USD pricing. I wouldn't be particularly happy to see any of them go, so leftovers will go straight back on the shelf once I've hit my required total. No holds, first come first served. I'm taking bids on the two for offers until Thursday night.

Joey Irving: Can You Handle Me Girl / What Happened To The Love We Knew (Vincent) EX serious offers

His rarest and arguably best. Massive funk/crossover, with an equally great morose midtempo flip. Only a small scattering of copies are knocking around in collections.

Walter Washington: Mary Jane / Goody Man (Power) EX, close to M- serious offers

Severely rare and hard-as-nails double-sided NOLA funk monster feat. Eddie Bo & co.

James Monroe: Frontiersman of the Galaxy / Funky Lady (Magic Touch) M- $375

Top quality funky modern with much atmosphere, current play for Dave Ripolles etc.

Fabulous Moonlighters: For Granted / I've Lost Again (Blue Eagle) M- $200

Brilliant uptempo funky Northern from Indiana, had a few spins at Stafford and getting some action again now courtesy of Wrighty and the Rustler. Solid deep flip too.

Sensational Little Doc & his Rhythm Express: My Precious Love / Mellow Dreamin' (Music-Go-Round) M- $125

Lovely crossover / ballad from the same S.C. team as Paul Burton etc

The Poets Of Rhythm: Hotpie's Popcorn / Pt.2 (Hotpie & Candy) EX $90

Their first ever release, strong uptempo funk & obviously hard to find nowadays.

Best offer is a meagre $550 at the moment

At this rate, it's not going anywhere.

A brilliant and tough-to-get record, but I think $550 is a more than fair price.

[Guest in town Mikey]

I was hoping for a Charles Manson. :-(

[Dylan]

if its staying in the UK then $550 is a good offer exchange rates are shite for UK collectors now.

Really? Sod it, I'll keep it then.

If Joey Irving were to start getting plays in clubs from big-name deejays I'd say it would sell for more, but really I can't think that anybody has ever paid in the ballpark of £400 for this record. I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear George, but It's a common sense price for what is essentially, up to this point, a 'collectors' record. A good and none-too-common one, but still a collectors piece.

Good luck with your sales, though, as there are some belters in that list above.

I'd say the current price on this is £250 - £300 max

Personally, I reckon it's the other one - 'Don't Throw Our Love Away' that is underplayed and under priced

[Dylan]

yeah but don't throw is a common record that was around in quantity for only $50 a couple of years ago.

I had about 7 copies.

this is currently much rarer.
