Ian Dewhirst Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 ta keith 12 now It could take you years to add them all up mate. This was a reasonably common 50p record in the early to mid 70's, even with the fancy script. There are 100's of 'em over here, most of them probably in collections.

Ric-tic Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 i dont agree ian when this was big at the mecca it wasnt easy to find i can remember searching for it and i paid a lot more than 50 pence, i think with a lot of mecca newish releases its a myth today to say they were all over the place because a lot of them simply wernt Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It was a Mecca only tune so it didn't translate anywhere else so there were probably more copies than actual demand at the time. Mind you, same with Marvin Holmes, Don Thomas, Oscar Perry etc, etc. There's got to have been 500-1000 of each in the UK I'd have thought......? Maybe it's spread out a bit over 40 years so the copies are dispersed around the world now.......a great record though, as so many of 'em were.........

Ian D Yeah Ian, Bob was wholesaling this, about 50p or 50c off him. I got and sold 25 copies in the East Lancs Area at £2 a throw' It was popular at most of the mid-week do's at the time. A few months later Andy Riding sent for some and he got the 2nd issue design. (we thought they were boots at the time) I can't remember what Andy did with them sent them back or passed them on? Iam sure people like Neil and John must have got 100s off him back than. Edited November 7, 2012 by davetay Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kev John Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) thanks for all your reply about how many were around in the 7ts Mecca days but imo not so many about now how many have gone to the Vinyl God in heaven ie skipped or binned over 40years ?

Pete S Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 why do people take popsike as gospel? there are loads and loads of sales, none sales etc that go or have gone through ebay that don't make it onto popsike. In fact what I do is check Popsike, check JM, and then do a search on soul source. If it's on here, and it sold, I use that as the guide and not the others. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ian Dewhirst Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 hi ian can you remember if they were the fancy italic labels or the upper case one's ? The first ones were all fancy italic. Lovely indie label which is a joy to behold. I've never seen the upper case ones but the copies of the next release, "Operator Operator" were nowhere near as fancy.......

NEV Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I've got year ahead of me yet me tinnks ? But i do think we've pretty much established that it's not rare ,which i think answers any theory that you thought the fancy logo design copies were scarce ? As chalky states ..it's not a demand 45 these days ,so who knows just how many people have one gathering dust from the 70's ? Not to mention ,how many people will have bought that record and A) are not on soulsource ,and B) not even on the soul scene now ! I listed a 2nd issue copy in sales on here 4 yrs back for £30 and then £20 ..had no interest and ended up sticking it in a job lot box of bargains ...and from memory ,there were probably more venues playing 70's modern soul than are around today Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kjw Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I've had about 3 copies of each label design in recent years and have sold them for around £30 - £40 max I'd guess roughly the same quantity of each were pressed up and as Nev says - it's not a rare record I would think most people would buy it as a collection filler I'd put the value of the first press at £40 and the second press at £25 - £30 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Like you say use as many sources as possible but stick to the set sale prices, always more accurate than auction prices. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Like you say use as many sources as possible but stick to the set sale prices, always more accurate than auction prices. Especially as Popsike is eBay auction only and not buy it now . So many factors can determine a high or low price on eBay ..and unlike a lot of auctions ..the end of sale cut off time is final ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kev John Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 there is a upper case 2nd issue for sale on ebay the seller is saying it's a 1976 press so it seems there is a 3yr gap between 1st & 2nd presses Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
