Gene-r Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Hope it's not one of these Shiptown reissues masquerading as an original.........or am I thinking of another Shiptown 45?
Mister Fish Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 The re-issues were the Barbara Stants 45's. He had originals on the auction. Grooms is one of the hardest on the label but blimey!

boba Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 This isn't a northern record, sweet soul people are looking for it. That said, I think it's mediocre sweet soul. It is rare. I think it was totally unknown until Joe Giattino got ahold of and sold a bunch of copies like 5-6 years ago, it wasn't expensive then, that must have been all the copies.
Rupert Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 HOW ABOUT THIS. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LP-New-Sound-Turbo-Orig-Rare-Deep-Northern-Soul-/300780139956
Chalky Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Grooms is a rare record and a tough one to find. It has had spins at lifeline, it's on the Andy Dyson podcast as well on my page.

I think it was totally unknown until Joe Giattino got ahold of and sold a bunch of copies like 5-6 years ago, it wasn't expensive then, that must have been all the copies. I got one of those for between 50 and 100 dollars. it had an edge warp which I stupidly tried to repair but ended up trashing the record so it went in the bin........... there is no way i'd be splashing nearly 1k on this 45 can't some people find decent records cheap any more its not that hard to do is it ??
boba Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 HOW ABOUT THIS. https://www.ebay.com/...l-/300780139956 that is not an unreasonable price for an original of that LP
Tony Smith Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 that is not an unreasonable price for an original of that LP I agree with you Boba. I was watching this myself, it'll go through the roof now!
Tony Smith Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) and who exactly is paying $600+ for Willie Kendrick on RCA surely everyone and their aunt and uncle has a copy of this now!?? Edited September 22, 2012 by Tony Smith
Barry Posted September 22, 2012 Author Posted September 22, 2012 I think I may have been out of order in a way with this thread as I more than most respect the fact that tracks are individual matters to the individual that desires them. Scene's move on, people dance on different dancefloors these days and I ain't there it appears - so no disrespect meant. (Lot of money about though ay?) 2
Ernie Andrews Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Now this is a crazy price! https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130767381838 1
Dave Pinch Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Now this is a crazy price! https://cgi.ebay.com/...em=130767381838 someone gonna be miffed when they realise
Rupert Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 that is not an unreasonable price for an original of that LP i bought this off here recentley for £60. and its almost mint. so i think thats well over priced. imo
Chalky Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 i bought this off here recentley for £60. and its almost mint. so i think thats well over priced. imo on Turbo?
Dylan Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 that is not an unreasonable price for an original of that LP its at the top end of what I would want to pay but its certainly not a ridiculous price. hardly ever see this for sale on open market. I noticed he has another rare turbo LP up as well but I don't know the other one.
John Reed Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 i bought this off here recentley for £60. and its almost mint. so i think thats well over priced. imo Well, I have to shake your hand on that, bargain of the century.
Sebastian Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 i bought this off here recentley for £60. and its almost mint. so i think thats well over priced. imo If it was this one you bought then you bought the japanese reissue: The original US Turbo issue is very rare.
Guest drewid Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 that is not an unreasonable price for an original of that LP im always suspicious when there is only one bid , maybe they get a mate to bid on it so they either get some desperado to go and outbid it thus getting what they want ,if that doesnt work out and nobody bids maybe re list later when its been forgotten about , just my theory thats all.
Guest drewid Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 If it was this one you bought then you bought the japanese reissue: The original US Turbo issue is very rare. not heard the turbo lp,but been reliably informed the p-vine is far better sound quality,anyone comment on that
Sebastian Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 not heard the turbo lp,but been reliably informed the p-vine is far better sound quality,anyone comment on that They're pretty much the same. Both sound crap and are extremely bass-heavy. Doesn't really matter though. The P-Vine issue shouldn't be of interest to anyone who collects original issues. It's a reissue from 1990. The original LP is from 1971.

Sebastian Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Unless you collect P-Vine LP's. Ofcourse. I didn't say anything about that. I just find it a bit funny that some people who otherwise are original-vinyl-only somehow think it's OK to play P-Vine reissues from the 90's as "originals". Oh well!

Yes agree.But a couple of the P-Vine LP's contain unreleased stuff. Sorry for the off topic. 1

The P-Vine issue shouldn't be of interest to anyone who collects original issues. It's a reissue from 1990. The original LP is from 1971. P-vine is taken from the Turbo vinyl as far as I am aware and an attempt to clean it up a bit was made, as you say not much in them.
