Solomon Burke On John Manships

[Ernie Andrews]

500 quid it finished at

I sold one on ebay VG condition for a tenner not 18 months ago

Infact Id sold it on here for 20 quid or so and the chap didnt like the condition so he returned it and I put it on ebay.

Is it really wroth that sort of money.

I thought even a minter aint worth more than 75 quid at most !

Or am I just way off the mark?

What Solomon Burke Steve?

[Ernie Andrews]

Cry to me - US demo Pete

I think the price is ! well Im stuck for words on this one! Unless Im way off the mark and my knowledge is really behind the times!

So what am I missing here, I would have thought that would have been worth about £20 - £25.

Friend of mine bought round an Atlantic test pressing of that yesterday, even that I wouldn't have priced at more than £25.

The rarest format is the UK London demo - and even that wouldn't make £200.

[pikeys dog]

I'd rate it at about a tenth of the price achieved - a US issue might make £35 on a fair day with a wind behind it...

[Cheapsiderecords]

I put a mint Plum label Canadian issue on here a few onths ago and got zero interest?

[Mickjay33]

the second bidder can have my demo for £250 its near mint

[Guest dundeedavie]

Are people taking Mr Manships word for it when he says it's as rare as hell etc ? If so do the have more money than knowledge ?

i fell of my chair when the auction finished SOLOMON BURKE sold for £500 pounds even in m- condition no more than £30 pounds' there is real big idiots who pay that kind of money. :ohmy:

[Kris Holmes]

um, you guys do know that that label variation of the demo is an alternate take only available on that format right?

[Phil Shields]

There's at least 2 idiots somewhere to bid on this. But you can't blame John for that, he's one heck of a salesman :-) just wish it had been my copy ....

I did not know that and the auction didn't state that. I guess John got lucky that at least two bidders did know that.

[Pete S]

Is that the alternate take available on the extended Dirty Dancing soundtrack CD?

Kris my demo was exactly the same but it was no different to the issue I had as well!

I totally second this statement from Davie - It needs to be melted in to the shape of a plant pot!

Not a soul record though is it. Sounds more like a eurovision song contest entry....Nice and fresh?

it's just a cheesy disco remake. nice or not, i can't see that ever being "fresh".

[Modernsoulsucks]

The Wilson 45 is a record I dug up as an "unknown" for the US Beach scene some 20 odd years ago and passed on to a dj mate in Winston-Salem. It went absolutely massive over there and was bootlegged.

I bought this cos my missus likes it, if it would have been £500, i'd have said no no no , but cos it was £12.50p i bought it (incl. p&p) & for a pop record i still thought that was dear, , for me his best 45 is stupidity, a great record with a title esp. for the plonker who shelled out £500

Just cos you dont like Dirty Dancing!!!!! I think its fab but NO WAY is it worth £500 flippin quid lol

I've had a version given me free just so I could have it in my collection ( hubby gave it me and said its rare on Atlantic Gold??? Or was this just to keep me sweet hmmmmmmm )
