Chalky Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Usually sells pretty quickly when offered for sale so demand is there so who knows it might just fetch a tad more. I would agree with others though at £400 if sticking a price on it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tons of these kind of titles came through in the 70's and often they'd be bulk buys, more often than not, at 10p each if you bought 1000. I had literally thousands of spares which were unplayable back then but which now make sense. Anything on Brownstone would be an automatic reject back then because it would be classified as Funk full stop. Records like Little Johnny Blair's "Momma's Gone" or even Ann Sexton's "You've Been Gone Too Long" were long shots that defied the odds mainly because the jocks who broke 'em (Levine and Curtis) stuck with 'em against all the odds. We were very elitist about labels back then and some labels were just too funky for their own good. Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Anyone got a label scan? It sure sounds like a funky record though. I wasn't even aware that there was another Brownstone label....also I wonder if it's the same Everyday People who were on Red Coach.....?

Dave Pinch Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 this isn't the same brownstone label as james brown but back in 1977 people didnt have as much knowledge in the uk and just assumed it was bob. some times people think that when a tune starts gettin some`northern or modern` plays its a new discovery. but as ian said, copies of records like this have been in the uk since they were new hence the scenario with gary smith and plenty more like him dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

soulfulmick Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 This is my copy formerly Gary Smiths. Was only a stroke of luck that I bought it. Mentioned to Gary one night that I had seen a copy and was going to offer £400 for it when he told me he had a copy and absolutely hated it. The deal was done for a lot less than £400 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

As it happens I've never seen this record but if I had've stumbled into it there's a pretty good chance I'd have just thwacked it on the shelves with thousands of other funky looking or just odd records. Like Dave says, at the time, a record by Everyday People on a Brownstone label would have probably been overlooked or mistaken for the other Brownstone and thus probably concidered to be too funky for serious consideration at the time.

Now the price is over £1500. Then again I never buy records thinking they're gonna be worth a mint in later years. I buy em ,at the time, because I like what's in the groove.

Best The Doc Thats just it Bob ...nobody bought records in the 70's as an investment Maybe because we didnt live in a capitolist society back then ...but thats a whole different story and more fitting for the "freebasing" section p.s My jibe about the £600 price tag was a bit tongue in cheek and not aimed at anyone in particular .. more to do with the fact some records are expensive because they are rare ,others are expensive because desperate people have to have the new biggie Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
