John Moffatt Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Am I missing something here, especially the bit about one going on Ebay for $330? https://www.ebay.co.u...=item5646f7104d My copy cost me about £15 not too long ago. Anyone got any ideas? Edited November 11, 2011 by John Moffatt
Premium Stuff Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Either it's a dummy pitch to sell the 45 or they are mixing the record up with another one - maybe a WDJ copy which is rare (but I have never seen it go for as much as $330) or a Scott's on Swingers. That is a standard red and yellow copy. Not great condition. Not even the rarer version with Agent OO-Soul title rather than Agent Double-O-Soul. Richard Edited November 11, 2011 by Premium Stuff
Benji Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 value is fair, it's the one with the very rare Ebay auction title typo....
Gene-r Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Some sellers are just so full of **it.............
John Moffatt Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 value is fair, it's the one with the very rare Ebay auction title typo.... The alternate, rejected version recently discovered in Ebay's vaults? Never thought of that !

Richard The White DJ Single Sided DEMO is missing from many collections, Including Mine. As you say Richard White DJ Copy is Rare. I have never seen it go for as much as $330 Either Here are the Versions I have.
Premium Stuff Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I also have a lemon coloured copy - has Double OO-Soul title and is a sticker demo Cheers Richard
45cellar Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Nice One. Pleased you are finding these sticker demos Richard. Noticed you have been asking for them. Are these mainly found where the Printed DEMO is elusive accross the Ric-Tic / Golden World stuff.

Bit of both Roger For some releases the sticker demo seems the only way to get a demo such as with the Adorables - Ooh Boy and Barbra Mercer - Hungry For Love on Golden World and Andre Williams - You Got It And I Want It on Ric-Tic. For others both demo formats are kicking around - such as J J Barnes - Please Let Me In, Edwin Starr - Agent OO-Soul, Detroit Emeralds - Show Time and Freddie Gorman - In A Bad Way on Ric-Tic.

Gene-r Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Blimey - never seen any of the orange label Ric-Tic issues! Haven't they got to be the rarest stock copies of Agent 00 Soul?
Premium Stuff Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Blimey - never seen any of the orange label Ric-Tic issues! Haven't they got to be the rarest stock copies of Agent 00 Soul? They are yellow not orange Richard
Gene-r Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 They are yellow not orange Richard Cheers Rich - I stand corrected! Even with them being yellow labels, I'm sure the one with the "Agent 00 Soul" credits (as opposed to "Agent Double-O Soul") must be rare in themselves - never seen one.
Chalky Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Cheers Rich - I stand corrected!

Bit f*ck*d but one the evilbay now.... https://www.ebay.com/...#ht_2081wt_1413
Gene-r Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Bit f*ck*d but one the evilly now.... https://www.ebay.com/...#ht_2081wt_1413 On my watch list - be interesting to see what it ends up going for.
Chalky Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 On my watch list - be interesting to see what it ends up going for. Be interesting to see. Vg- no use to anyone but a collector looking for this really, will do till an upgrade comes along I suppose.

Cheers Richard Richard, Had this conversation a couple of times in the past. Up until around 15 maybe 20 years ago I used to have a white demo of the Adorables but, as with many in my collection, it was sold on and I can't for the life of me remember who bought it. Maybe Pat Brady as he had some stuff from me around that time. It may have been Carl Fortnum as he bought some rarer bits off me (see other thread re:William Powell as I'm sure that went to him along with both a white demo and red stocker of Larry Clinton, Little John on Go-Gate etc etc). I agree that it's tough but it now seems to be a lot tougher than I ever thought. Anyone out there know where the demo ended up then.... It's over to you Steve Edited November 11, 2011 by soulman

For some reason my scanner doesn't scan these as Yellow which of course they are. No problem with other Yellow Labels using the same Scanner Settings.

Anyone got any ideas? at any time there are idiots listing cheap records for expensive. if you browse the records category and sort by price high-low you can find a lot of them. they only are interesting when there are actually bids.

Oh definitely. This one may be a bit extreme, but there are plenty of gullible individuals about. There was a piece on here recently about a couple of Stardusts making serious money. Is it just a battle between common sense and that overpowering must-have mentality, and a seller keen to try and exploit it?

This auction had no bids (which is what I was trying to say), so it's less a case of a gullible bidder than a delusional seller.

I understand your point. We'll see if it gets relisted. Anyway, time to go and listen to a few tunes, and sup a couple. Thanks to all for the comments. ATB John
Raremusicdirect Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Are all the known releases the take of the same song ? Ty
Guest Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I have many different label variations of this record, including the rarer first issue "Agent 00 Soul". They are all the same version of the song.
