Pete S Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I must be one of the few people to have had a demo and an issue at the same time. I got the issue off Ebay, saw it, no bids, offered the guy $150 and got it (this was in 2000). The day it arrived, I'd bought one off someone, might have been Kev Roberts, for £400 I think it was. The two arrived on the same day. By the weekend they had both gone. I got £1000 worth of trades for the issue. I personally think it's worth about £800 on demo.

Chalky Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Brownie on here just sold an absolute minter no writing or anything for £1000 some don't like the stickers or date stamps but they add to the disc IMO. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bo Diddley Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I was also watching this. Thought I might bid if the the price was right. However, what limited my bid was in the detail of the postage instructions. Customs Declaration of THE FULL AMOUNT!! Using the figures where I got caught on that with a lower value disc, it could add £12 handling charge and about 20% tax = £240. Postage quoted at $44 (£30). Total add to the selling price - £255. I assume the buyer was aware and that it isn't a nasty shock when the little notice pops through the door rather than the disc. I'm happy to be proved wrong if someone knows differetly and I got the wrong end of the stick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulman Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ive had the two at the same time. Had the demo and then one day walked into John Manships shop in Melton and he had an issue sat on the shelf along aith a Cecil Washington. Bought both of them for less than £100 (think it was£80). Sold the demo years ago and then let John have the issue to auction about three years ago. Great record as far as I'm concerned... the epitome of the Casino sound.

NEV Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Can remember being up on the balcony as a teenager ,watching all the girls in the circle skirts dancing to it ... Sounded great when that instro break kicked in ,the floor went mental . Full on floor filler record back then and I remember peeps getting all excited and saying how much it was worth etc . Sadly I think it's just a dated record now and isn't even remotely soul Country girl .... Cowboy soul ! But in fairness ,it was a scene ,a dance scene ,and records were chosen to suit the northern soul style .. Uptempo with breaks to spin to and do acrobatics . I'm sure there are plenty of places and plenty of people who still get a lot of pleasure out of hearing this being spun Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well IMHO it is great Northern. We know it isn't Soul but thats not the point, it is as Nev rightly pointed out a dance scene that revolved around a beat as much as anything. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
