The Dynamics "woe Is Me" Black Gold

[Chris Anderton]

I have a copy of The Dynamics "Woe is me" on Black gold 45. Someobody was raving after seeing my copy and said is was very hard to find. I must admit its always a record i look out for in the US but never can i find another copy.

Can anyoine tell me if this record is common or a toughie.....also if anyone knows the value that would be useful too.

Cheers, Chris

Fairly common. It turned up in bulk in the UK in the 70's and I think it was a fairly typical Soul Pack record at the time which may explain why there's more over here then in the U.S.

I just did a search and turned up a couple for 5 euros and £5......

NOT FOUND ONE ON EBAY. COM FOR 5 YEARS OR SEEN ONE ON A UK DEALERS LIST IN THAT TIME. ITS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE RARER 45 `S ON THE LABEL BY TODAYS STANDARDS. NOT SURE WHAT DEMAND FOR THIS IS THESE DAYS THOUGH IF IT WERE PLAYED IN THE RIGHT ROOMS IT WOULD BE MORE THAN A FIVER. STOCK COPY ONLY AND THE í¢"š¬`SIDE NEVER MADE THE RNB CHARTS EITHER

I like the record and have one -incidently mine was actually a soul pack record from about 85 could of been rod dearlove-this record is one that id firmly put in the hit or miss category "finger in the air when it comes to price"big thumbs up on quality!! sometimes the best yardstick is peoples views and what collctors are switched on to it -the recent discussion on the webs on popside kinda highlights this !!!

Ian could you get me those copies at a fiver each please, I know a few guys who are after this record!

Thanks for the info, much appreciated but i think its a pretty hard record on 45.

So, whats it worth?

Blimey, they disappeared quick. Must've been snapped up after you started the thread Chris. As Baz said, it was a fairly common Soul Pack record in the 70's so they'll be out there somewhere mate.

It's one of those records that I always seem to find in odd places and generally never bother picking 'em up 'cos I'm convinced there's tons of 'em out there. First copy I ever picked up was from Cheapo Cheapo for 25p but I've bumped into 100 count boxes of 'em a couple of times over the years......

It'll turn up....

I have been looking for them in the States for a few years as i rate it highly...i have a copy and have just found a second copy, not on the net but when i was there last month. I think its a bloody hard 45 to find Ian....as has been backed up by the other posters to this thread.

Think I`ll let my mate have it...he has been looking as long as me!

You're probably right. I've got a tendency to assume that just 'cos I kept stumbling into things in the 70's (and 80's to a lesser extent), that certain titles cannot be rare. But if those couple of hundred count boxes have all ended up in people's collections since then, then I guess they're rare now......
