Guest chorleybloke Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I know the originals on Sepia are changing hands for close to a grand but does anybody know the value of the French issue on Googa Mooga? Cheers Pete Down Under
Pete S Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Surely can't be more than £25 can it? Theres as many of those about as there is Eddie Parker on Googa Mooga - all from Lorraine Chandler originally (apparently/supposedly)
Guest Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 When and where have any original(s) been changing hands lately? And for a grand? I'd like to know. Last one I saw for sale, which was the only one in some time, was more than a year ago on ebay and it went for around £450 only.
Exustrek Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 sepia copy at 800 on arctic souls recent list [at least 300 too much imo although it is quite a hard record to find]. Googa mooga copy [about 40 in pic sleeve] at a ridiculous one hundred and fifty quid on manships.
Guest Johnny Mack Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Hi Pete, The Eddie Parker release on Googa Mooga is probably easier to find than the Al Gardner. These French Pic cover releases have been kicking around since the mid 70's, I can remember seeing odd ones but never saw them in great quantities - I paid GBP 40 for one from Shifty a couple of years ago and thought that was a fair price at the time. There have been a number on E-bay in the last couple of years (French sellers) which have gone for far less, nonetheless, unless I'm very mistaken it doesn't turn up that often. A great Mecca sound - always reminds me of Shelvo from Leicester ! Take care, Johnny Mack
Pete S Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 If anyone's got a record with no sleeve - I've got a sleeve with no record which you can have
pikeys dog Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Does anyone have a full list of releases on the Gooda (Googa) Mooga label? I have four I think, any more?
Codfromderby Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 If anyone's got a record with no sleeve - I've got a sleeve with no record which you can have link crying clown-eddie parker, thats one i know
pikeys dog Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Got the following on the label: Eddie Parker - Love You Baby Al Gardner - Sweet Baby Eddie Parker - Crying Clown Ironing Board Sam - Funky Bell Bottoms Any more on the label?
Guest Damien Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 No other releases on Googa Mooga as far as I know Al Gardner is much difficult to find here in France than the others... but not so rare... 30 £ should be a correct price

Samplat Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Got my second hand love off Johnny Mack or one of the Leicester lot at the Mecca in the early seventies. Still got the record
Rick Cooper Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Sixteen years is a long time to correct something, but better late than never. The Googa Mooga Eddie Parker and Al Gardner singles that were around in the mid 70s came from Global Records in Manchester, not from Lorraine Chandler. I found Googa Mooga's address in Paris and wrote to ask if they had any stock left. I think we ordered around 600 Eddie Parker and 200 Al Gardner. They sold fairly quickly but Eddie Parker was past its heyday and Al Gardner was a collectors record. Googa Mooga sent a copy of the other two records they issued but we didn't order any. Other copies must have been found before and after this but if anyone saw them in UK shops around 74/75 they were from Global. Edited May 22, 2021 by Rick Cooper 2
