Swifty Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I only missed out by about £900 nice copy though but is it over the top? Genuine question as I really don't know. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170782583167?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 Cheers Swifty
grant Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 well theres one on sean chapmans list for £1100 mate. On popsike selling prices have ranged from $1000 to $1900. Worth it, over the top? Guess as always up to the buyer and how much he wants that record to get one in the collection. Wouldnt mind one but theres a few hundred in the wants queues I'd pay that sort of money for first.

I don't understand some of the prices for records that are in terrible condition. Cheers Swifty 1

wiganelli Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 WENT TO £850 ISH THEN THOUGHT THATS ENOUGH BIT PRICEY NOW !!
Pete S Posted February 20, 2012 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 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.
Bo Diddley Posted February 20, 2012 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
Jumpinjoan Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 some don't like the stickers or date stamps but they add to the disc IMO. I don't mind them either but the stamp on this one should say 'pants' Not for me but I am surprised by the price. Has it always gone for that much?
Ted Massey Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 a certain person on here bought my issue for £500 mind it was early 90's
Soulman Posted February 20, 2012 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. Steve 2
Steve G Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 a certain person on here bought my issue for £500 mind it was early 90's A certain person on here also bought your demo in the late 90s......
Guest MrC Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I don't mind them either but the stamp on this one should say 'pants' Not for me but I am surprised by the price. Has it always gone for that much? I always regret not buying the demo I was offered for £100 in 1980/81
Steve G Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I don't mind them either but the stamp on this one should say 'pants' Joan, it's brill. John A originally found it in a hillbilly place in Allentown Pa. back in the 70s. Does make you wander what audience it was originally aimed for, but wasn't Vicki Baines someone else, Karen Young or something?

Does make you wander what audience it was originally aimed for, but wasn't Vicki Baines someone else, Karen Young or something? Don't think so, she recorded for (at least) 2 labels as Vicki Baines - Karen Young was a white UK singer, unless you mean someone else?
Steve G Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 The "Hot Shot" one I thought? I know Vicki was also someone else in the 70s.

Steve Same here, i bought mine off R/S at wigan still in the Christine cooper sleeve, one of my embarrasing moments at w/c, we`d spoke about the deal the week before, so when he started his spot i went on the stage, we bartered between £90 & £100 in the end we flipped a coin and it was mine for £90, before i went that night, i`d told my mam what i was buying and un beknowing to me she`d safety pinned the money in the top pocket of my shirt how cool did i look trying to undo the safety pin on the stage surrounded by people watching richards records :lol: 2
Chalky Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Don't think so, she recorded for (at least) 2 labels as Vicki Baines - Karen Young was a white UK singer, unless you mean someone else? two releases on Parkway and one on Symbol all the is I have on her. 1
Harry Crosby Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 two releases on Parkway and one on Symbol all the is I have on her. Did she not do something on Loma as well?
Chalky Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Did she not do something on Loma as well? yeah just about to mention that and you beat me to it.... We can find that love / Sweeter than sweet things 1
Guest allnightandy Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Anyone know why it's a 1964 record , yet the radio stamp is two years after in 1966 ?
Chalky Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 all listings I've seen list it as 1966.... https://www.globaldogproductions.info/p/parkway.html
Pete S Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Anyone know why it's a 1964 record , yet the radio stamp is two years after in 1966 ? It's definitely 66 - most the Cameo Parkway labels have the founding date of the label at the bottom, 63 or 64
Chalky Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 It has 1964 at the bottom but label founded in the 50's with slight name changes at later dates.
Mick Holdsworth Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Joan, it's brill. John A originally found it in a hillbilly place in Allentown Pa. back in the 70s. Does make you wander what audience it was originally aimed for, but wasn't Vicki Baines someone else, Karen Young or something? It was someone "like" Karen Young who recorded "Are You Kidding", on UK Mercury (AYK being the other side of Country Girl). Maybe that's what your'e thinking of ?

Mrtag Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 some don't like the stickers or date stamps but they add to the disc IMO. Know what you mean Chalky but some collectors wont have anything but minty clean!! like the day they left the pressing plant! Personally depending on rarity as long as it plays well and looks Ok then that will do if you get a minter! Well bonus in my book!!
Mrtag Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I don't mind them either but the stamp on this one should say 'pants' Not for me but I am surprised by the price. Has it always gone for that much? Yep!! quite a rare beast!!

It was someone "like" Karen Young who recorded "Are You Kidding", on UK Mercury (AYK being the other side of Country Girl). Maybe that's what your'e thinking of ? Ah yes - going senile with the Karen Young "Hot shot" thing.....
Tony Smith Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) It was someone "like" Karen Young who recorded "Are You Kidding", on UK Mercury (AYK being the other side of Country Girl). Maybe that's what your'e thinking of ? I didn't know that, that might explain the acetate that came out of the Carlin music archive that Ady C found. Edited February 20, 2012 by Tony Smith
purist Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 yeah just about to mention that and you beat me to it.... We can find that love / Sweeter than sweet things Back when I collected the label this was one of the double siders on Loma that I always liked Chalky, but reason for commenting on it, it also got released on the Symbol label. Never had one myself on Symbol, but remember seeing a nice issue copy round Richard Domar's some years ago ( just looked he's still got it listed, £50, what's the Loma one worth ? £30?)
Steve L Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Nice!! Great record that stands alongside Cecil Washington (wanted to say Joe Matthews) from the days when I was in my prime!!! Sorry Joan, your taste is top notch except on this one
Sheldonsoul Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Anyone got a scan of country girl issue

Come on steve......it,s a nasty pop record awful piece of work...........is it coming out on john A's label?
NEV Posted February 20, 2012 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
Steve G Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Country girl .... Cowboy soul ! Hill Billy Soul. Jed Clampett on banjo!
Chalky Posted February 20, 2012 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
NEV Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Steve ,don't mention the banjo ,the film Deliverence still makes me shudder

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. Not sure it's great ,but it could have been if the break didn't take so long to kick in
Harry Crosby Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Anyone got a scan of country girl issue There you go
Sheldonsoul Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 There you go 1st one I've ever seen lol
Sheldonsoul Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I Allways thought it sounded brill pumping out of wigans speakers, then again wigans speakers mad many a crap record sound brill
Guest MrC Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I Allways thought it sounded brill pumping out of wigans speakers, then again wigans speakers mad many a crap record sound brill That wasn't the speakers.......
Sheldonsoul Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 That wasn't the speakers....... remember my first ever vist to Wigan and they played the kid by Andre brassuer and even that sounded awesome lol
Steve G Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Steve ,don't mention the banjo ,the film Deliverence still makes me shudder I know just playing along with Tezza a bit. I still have the 45 Ted sold me.
