Reg Scott Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) I'm not trying to be pedantic or the like but this quote from a dealers site had me questioning my memory: "Village Sound - These Windows - Onyx Virtually Unknown 60s Dancer & Will BE Massive One Day Its Got Everything + Brill 60s Mod Dancer On The Flip" Virtually unknown is not a phrase I'd have thought related to do this 45. Would you? Edited November 24, 2011 by ClearVinyl Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Surely not. But I also wouldn't relate the price tag on said site to this 45. 200? FFS... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Big sound from 79 onwards, hard to find, looking at 125 quid I would have thought but anyone describing this as virtually unknown obviously hasn't been on the scene that long...or they don't know as much as they think they do. I have no idea who the seller is. Edited November 24, 2011 by Pete S Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Would you? Always been popular up here north of the border since I started goin to northern doo's in 84....in the bracket of classic oldie I'd say.

Pete S Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 i presume you mean Steve Jeffries site he uses quite a bit of artistic licence with his prices mark Now that does surprise me. Not the price, if it were Steve doing the description. Are you sure? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wiganer1 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 grant smith is rare on issue and to find a nice dmeo thats not styrene is hard as well... village sound is worth about 150 well thats what id go upto if i didnt already have a copy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Shsdave Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Now that does surprise me. Not the price, if it were Steve doing the description. Are you sure? It most certainly is Pete (unless it's his son?), I don't think it's lack of knowledge just trying to talk up his stock, he says the same about lots of very well known stuff....................he's no doubt aiming at those who've only just arrived on the scene & have more money than sense.

Guest garysoul82 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I first heard this 30yrs ago.It was always on various sales lists quoted as will go massive but never quite got there. Not a bad record though and not surprised it goes for £100 +. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest MrC Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 A great record, but it'd grieve me to pay over £40 for it! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 A great record, but it'd grieve me to pay over £40 for it! i doubt you'll ever own one then - a genuinely hard to find 45 in my experience - and was fetching around £100 ten to fifteen years ago Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mick Holdsworth Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Is it "Village Sound" or "Village Sounds" - I've had both a few times over the years - but more fractionally more copies of "Village Sound" seem to have come my way.

Prophonics 2029 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Was trying to think of the cover up name, wasn't Gary Lewis was it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I still maintain it's only £25 more than that now. No doubt it probably is Pete, The price I quoted was pre-eBay and pre-internet so things were in the main harder to find. I was just confirming that you'd be hard pressed to get one for under a ton since it's historicly been around that price and above. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Must admit I haven't priced one up in the last 20 years though! And I must admit to losing the last couple of ebay bids on Art Gentry "Merry Go Round" on the same label because it went for around £15 more than I was expecting.

Alan Bonthrone1 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Was it not covered up as Melvin something or other. I cant recall the surname . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ged Parker Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 "Virtually unknown" not to many of us I'm sure but I wonder how many that are in that clip Paul-S posted know it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mick Holdsworth Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Was it not covered up as Melvin something or other. I cant recall the surname . My own copy which I bought from either Gary Rushbrooke or Sam was covered up as Melvin Davis "These Windows Can't Hide" (as "Find a Quiet Place" was big at the time). My earlier post may have got missed, but this copy for sale at the moment, is it "Village Sound" or "Village Sounds" - I've had both a few times over the years - but more fractionally more copies of "Village Sound" seem to have come my way. No idea which is original though. Cheers Mick 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
