Peter99 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing at £1,500 It's a nice tune. Peter Edited October 4, 2012 by Peter99
Tiggerwoods Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 I'm guessing at £1,500 Hope mine is a proper one then .... !! Whats the bootleg history behind this??
Dobber Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 that record is unfortunatly £250 at best,they are not bootlegs,just a load turned up,so the price fell on its arse...ive had 5 of them!

Guest gordon russell Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 think a box of fifty were found at a flea market......could be wrong
Mal C Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 think a box of fifty were found at a flea market......could be wrong Really, most seem to be coming from the states in very minty condition, from a few different sellers I notice... I'm glad I bought it at its bottom price point, just like Betty Lloyd which was around at £60 in 91/2 then crept back up... On another of the mass finds, how many do we think are in circulation on Joe King / Royal Esquires Prix releases, and were they via that The Numero group that did the CD, I never worked that out fully...

boba Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 the prix stuff came out like a decade before the numero comp. clara hardy's (not even mint) have started to go back up in price on ebay now. but recently i saw one of the original sellers sell a mint copy. but they didn't do it again. also, i'm sure there were more than 50 sold. collectors are paranoid about quantity so it takes years of a cooling off period where no new stock is listed before people believe that copies are gone and they have to scramble to pick up a rare record given the opportunity. 1
kevinsoulman Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 they turned up in numbers about 5 years ago see above if you type in the search clara hardy tuna there are quite a few threads atb kev
Tiggerwoods Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks for all your help ...want to trade sell mine so got a better idea now!!
boba Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 wait a year or two and you'll get way more, since it's near the end of the "it has dried up" period.
Chalky Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 the guy was selling this on ebay for a couple of years or so, well into three figure quantity found? 1
Premium Stuff Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) One sold on here at £220 a few weeks ago. Plus the last one on eBay (near mint condition) had 18 bids and went for: US $370.96 Approximately £231.46 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130809115609?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Cheers Richard Edited December 2, 2012 by Premium Stuff
MrsWoodsrules Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Just love this track, one of my favourite female vocal tracks at the moment (along with Celeste Hardie's You're Gone) also like the Motor City Sound instrumental of this too. Aid.
Dave Pinch Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 there were 2 or 3 dealers with this 5 or 6 years ago one of them was `pay my college fee`s` another was hamtrack or somethin like that....way way more copies of this than the four tracks on mandingo....nice enough record great intro but then it just sort of ambles along...still seems to be £200 to 250 imo tho 1
Guest giant Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 that record is unfortunatly £250 at best,they are not bootlegs,just a load turned up,so the price fell on its arse...ive had 5 of them! there has been quite a few on ebay around £200 -- £250 its not rare any more 'anyone pays more for it is a real fool . 1
Supercorsa Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Anglo American got one on their list at the moment for £150. 1
Wilxy Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Indeed, a great tune,and one I've been chasing for a while, alas also missed the Anglo American item today
