Beverly Ann - He's Coming Home

[TommieOnTheSpot]

Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can help me figure something out here - At the moment I am saving up for a Beverly Ann - He's Coming Home on RCA (Saved £50 so far so not much further to go ) But, how comes the DJ copy goes for less than the issue - I mean surely the DJ copy is more desirable so therefore worth more?

Thanks T x

Demos are probably more plentyful.

There are folks who only collect RCA issues as they tend to be rarer.

Ahh right okay - didn't no that, Thanks

It usually works the opposite way round to the UK: British releases are usually more collectable on demo because usually only 150-250 demo copies were made. In the States, they'd press 1000 demo copies and sometimes not even bother pressing issue copies. I'd have rated a Beverly Ann issue at £200.

Have a read of this old thread, some fascinating stuff here, probably answers to you question.

Comin' Home stocker is a rare one, so if you ever get one in Pete i will gladly pay you £200!!! ONLY

[Peter99]

It's a top tune.

According to the"book", RCA DJ copies are £300, issues £200.

DJ copies not really even worth £100. Book is wrong. Very wrong.

By the "book I take it that is JM Guide? The "book" actually adds VAT as well which is 20%.

Yeah but quoting 300 quid for a Beverly Ann demo?

[Guest allnightandy]

Tim Brown and Koppels book is a more realistic

£150 stock

£200 Demo

one on Ebay at the mo top money though

Tim's online guide is a bit different, £300 for DJ, £200 for issue yet he has a demo for sale at £125.

I'd say that £125 is the absolute top price. I'd want £80 for it.

B.Ann -Hes etc -issue is FAR rarer then the demo - would be daft money on a main dealer auction list juding by what other RCA issues have been sold recently imo

Thanks for the info all, was it ever released on British RCA and if so how much is the British release? x

[Guest]

not sure if this video does the track justice

[Guest MrC]

You do know it's Beverly Bremmers, singer of 'Get Smart Girl' on Scepter who is actually Beverly Ann don't you? She's on Facebook, and pretty friendly!

Goldsoul had her performing live in 04 at SoultripUSA in Los Angeles.

Her main hit was Don't You Say You Don't Remember on Scepter.

He's Coming Home(her 1st single) was recorded in 1967 following a talent show win in Chicago.

Some cute archive shots of her in the 'Turning My Heartbeat Up' cd I compiled for BMG(RCA) some 10 years ago.

The original version is by Nashville Teens on UK Decca, right?

Here's a rather weak freakbeat/mod version by the danish band The Hunters, also from 1967:
