Russ Vickers Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Papa Bear & Cubs You're So Fine VG- Finished on ebay last night at $1625 (almost £1000) ..........is this really worth a grand, especially in this condition ???. Best Russ
Chalky Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Didn't JM auction one for a lot more, better nick of course, recently? Suppose question of demand. It was only fetching around £800 when top DJ's hammering it few years ago so can't really understand the willingness to pay such an amount for such a boring record. Got sick to death of hearing the thing at one time.

Got sick to death of hearing the thing at one time. I have to say I quite like it, its the sparse naivety that I like, but I'm sure Dave Thorley sold one recently for far less than this ???......I dont mind paying market price for discs on my 'wants' if I'm a bit flush, but some people will pay almost anything seemingly !. At the end of the day people can & will pay what they feel a disc is worth its there perogative, but I thought this was over the top for the condition. Best Russ
kawakid Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 top tune brill love it price £600 that was last year at prestatyn
Russ Vickers Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 top tune brill love it price £600 that was last year at prestatyn Thats the kinda price I had in mind for a clean copy ? Thx for the reply Best Russ
nksouldude Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Saw 2 at Prestatyn last year both at £600 One of my favorite tunes from the last 10 years great dancer too
Anais nin Carms Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I could never call this a boring tune ? I could I never sell it if I owned it ... I asked Soul Sam onceif he rowuld sell his and he replied oh no no I could never part with my bear
NEV Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I could never call this a boring tune ? I could I never sell it if I owned it ... I asked Soul Sam onceif he rowuld sell his and he replied oh no no I could never part with my bear Let me be the 1st to say it's not a masterpiece of soulful strings and harmonies etc etc ,nor is it a tug on the emotions ...... Its one of those tunes that comes along ,that somehow does'nt conform to the norm but it just works Me thinks some people judge a record too much for the aritstic merit ,opposed to the fact ,it's just a dancefloor winner Rather than disect the actual sound quality ...just enjoy it for the fact it's different

But like you say it's the dancefloor that matters and I don't have a problem with that.
Anais nin Carms Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 The thing to remember Chalks is it got hammered at the venues you go to , I must say that I only got into it last year and it does appear to me one that always draws the dancers tot he floor on the 'soul night circuit' ... not being a night owl I can't comment on it being hammered at nighters so I take your point. Carms
Mike Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 that shang a lang intro cracks me up every time hear it for the rest of it , i say its maybe one of those that had/has so instant an appeal that it has a short shelf life.. if you know what i mean
Anais nin Carms Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I always wonder is it best for a sound to have an instant appeal or one that grows on you . But then maybe its better to think in terms of personal preference some sounds to the listener can be heard over and over again and still have the same initial appeal.

Don't think it makes any difference really, many that are instant winners are very soon instantly forgettable but then many that are instant stay with you forever.
Guest audiavant Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Don't think it makes any difference really, many that are instant winners are very soon instantly forgettable but then many that are instant stay with you forever. That pretty much covers all the bases.
Simon M Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I know of a minter for sale!! . He was going to use it as a frisbee

Ernie Andrews Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 5-6 YEARS AGO THIS WAS ONLY 100 QUID - tHIS IS ABOUT hYPE RATHER THAN PURE RARITY AND WOW factor! I do like it though!
Prophonics 2029 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Just played it on Utube and thought of the Glitter Band but I do like the record - that synth organ sound is quiet quirky. What year is it anyone TIA.
Hammersoul Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 It used to be a £600 record about 5/6 years ago Russ but like a lot of 7"s have jumped up now there`s a buzz. I got put off playing this ages ago cos a dealer who i used to buy off told me the intro sounded like showaddywaddy and since that day i can`t play it no more without thinking of that .. I won`t sell it in case i regret it
Steve G Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It originally started as a rod dearglove front page £6 item in the mid nineties and that's where I got mine. I think he had 6-7 of them......

I think he had 6-7 of them...... I think the one here , was from Rod @ £6 .The buyer felt he'd been had at the time Edited June 10, 2011 by Simon M
Guest Nick Harrison Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) It originally started as a rod dearglove front page £6 item in the mid nineties and that's where I got mine. I think he had 6-7 of them......Correct and it did first appear on the sales tape service supplied by Rod. Overlooked by many at the time as VFTS had better records available. Forget the intro - It was the name of the group that turned me off. But it was great to hear the Gouch play this some years ago on the Shaun Robbins show, it sounded "more inviting" on the ears. Once popular with the "rare circle" and like so many records in the past- Papa and his Cubes may have reach its destination or is it still swimming against the tide. If anything its endured longevity. Edited June 12, 2011 by Nick Harrison
