Chalky Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Hi there chalky you'd have to ask Shifty although it wasn't his copy I think he already had it and sold this one straight on.I was with Tim yesterday and ment to ask him but forgot , I think the guy who found it was greedy mick who found the mac staten that ended up with Daz Daykin have heard this story a few times over the years .There is one copy in Leiden that came from Philly , John Lawson still has his copy which he bought from a sales box at Leicester odd fellows ( whether the Leicester connection has become mixed up I don't know) Andreas Slivane still has his though regards Simon. I think it's a fairy tale, urban myth Simon, never seen or heard of the other copies in this country, has anyone? Wen did the Dutch copy turn up? Again anyone verify it exists?
Guest sharmo 1 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I think it's a fairy tale, urban myth Simon, never seen or heard of the other copies in this country, has anyone? Wen did the Dutch copy turn up? Again anyone verify it exists? Hi again Chalky the story around the rock and roll box I've heard a few times perhaps if someone asked shifty that would prove either way.The john Lawson one I would say does exist as he wouldn't lie to me and his collection is vast and holds many heavy rarieties ,Myself and my ex wife saw the Leiden one many years ago and that's from me mate not second hand , think about the b side it's ideal for the Dutch suirenese scene it's possible they could be floating around the Netherlands Jan at record paradise knew it when I asked about certain records and the guy at red light records said he's heard of it. Anyway it'll all come out in the wash eventually best regards Simon.
Theresa Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 If I win I won't expect any clothes to be worn at all throughout the whole process. That includes the entire staff of John Manships Records when handling my (potential) property. Joel Maslin you'll do it in your vest and pants and see me after class. Well, time's ticking away. Will the inscrutable gentlemen of the East come from behind with a late entry? 1
Andreas B Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 £12, 913! I expected it could go higher though, still impressive
John A Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Under 12 hours left. Almost £13k. Late bidding frenzy or end with a whimper? whimper
Guest Seagrave Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 So now we know. Almost exactly half the price of a Frank Wilson.
Guest in town Mikey Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Very surprised it went for as little as it did.
Guest in town Mikey Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I say little, but I mean a huge amount that wasn't huger
Theresa Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I think the candlelight flickered across the whole of Porkpieshire just then, there were so many people watching! *Dons school uniform, packs MS in satchel and prepares for oriental trip...* 2
Guest Seagrave Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I think the candlelight flickered across the whole of Porkpieshire just then, there were so many people watching! *Dons school uniform, packs MS in satchel and prepares for oriental trip...* Yes, plenty watching I'm sure. But only one new bidder in the last nine days. Took him just two cracks to get it, in the last two minutes. 2
Simsy Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Took him just two cracks to get it, in the last two minutes. Wonder what he had up his sleeve? Thought it'd make nearer 15. How long til the next one?
Theresa Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Yes, plenty watching I'm sure. But only one new bidder in the last nine days. Took him just two cracks to get it, in the last two minutes. Yep, interesting bidding pattern, but let's face it, just not that many folk with 10k+ to play with at the moment. And Mark Harrison let me know if you need any help with that 12 grand burning a hole in your pocket now pet, lol 1
NEV Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Yep, interesting bidding pattern, but let's face it, just not that many folk with 10k+ to play with at the moment. And Mark Harrison let me know if you need any help with that 12 grand burning a hole in your pocket now pet, lol It's not all bad news for Mark ...having £12k set aside for rare records ...he could now grab that Dibango - hallelujah to console himself 1
Theresa Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 It's not all bad news for Mark ...having £12k set aside for rare records ...he could now grab that Dibango - hallelujah to console himself Nah, he's an old Wigan boy - he'll be wanting a rousing tubthumper of the highest order
Swifty Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I think the candlelight flickered across the whole of Porkpieshire just then, there were so many people watching! *Dons school uniform, packs MS in satchel and prepares for oriental trip...* I thought it was S&M , or am I off track here Swifty
Phild Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) I wish I'd bid more now. I may have had a chance. But I really thought it would go for near £17k-£18k Edited July 3, 2013 by phild
TommieOnTheSpot Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Well honestly thought that was gonna go for a lot, lot more... £12,913!? Really thought it would be 18K at least
Theresa Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I thought it was S&M , or am I off track here Swifty Sadly, at our age Swifty we've more chance of MS being multiple sclerosis than S&M 2
Simon T Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Yes, plenty watching I'm sure. But only one new bidder in the last nine days. Took him just two cracks to get it, in the last two minutes. 2 million Yen. I wonder if he files his collection in order of cost?
TommieOnTheSpot Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 So would that have been from the same source? And were they both playing them, covered up, during the same period? The plot thickens - I don't know?
Guest Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) 2 million Yen. Is it heading East then? Edited July 4, 2013 by Flynny
Chalky Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 The plot thickens - I don't know? Why does the plot thicken? As said by a few, Keb never had it and Butch's came from the USofA. 1
NEV Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Who found that then Simon? First I've heard. Shifty's came form the States so I believe. My uncle used to collect records in the 70's ,mainly motown . I seem to recall him having this one 45 that was yellow and it started with a Motown intro ,like a supremes record and then it went mental ! He lived in Leicester and used to give records to a charity shop if they weren't any use to him . He detested rock n roll ,so maybe Simons story is credible ?
TommieOnTheSpot Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Why does the plot thicken? As said by a few, Keb never had it and Butch's came from the USofA. Sorry Chalky - didn't read the further comments - DOH!
Bo Diddley Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 I know there was mention in another thread about a boot, but i've just noticed these on ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140899117004?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 43 already sold with 3 remaining!!! Expect this will be getting a hammering up and down the country.

Expect this will be getting a hammering up and down the country. I think it's more likely to be people who have wanted to own it for years, and just want a decent sound file to play at home or in the car.
NEV Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I think it's more likely to be people who have wanted to own it for years, and just want a decent sound file to play at home or in the car. Hi Phil ,hope your well I have heard it played out before at a club night ,but to be honest ,it sounds very ordinary . Reason being is that ,as already mentioned ,it's a proper out and out nighter record ! Most regular soul nights that allow boots / reissues on the decks ,tend play across the board soul oldies and 70's . It's quite surprising just how much tempo is needed to fill a floor and believe me ,this is way above that threshold ! There are however ,plenty of top class 7:30 - 1or 2 am venues (up and down the country) that do play some great uptempo ,gritty soul ,but as you probably know ,most play O.V.O So IMHO ,you are most correct ,it's for home use and maybe to upload the sound to mp3 for car etc .
Bo Diddley Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 Have you seen all the other shite this seller is offering. Why on earth do we bother collecting records when some twot can just produce all these and make a killing. No license fees, MCPS etc etc. Not all of them, I hasten to add. Just most of 'em Must admit, I didn't have a look. Just assumed there would be loads of similar "products". It is frustrating but it's still a nice feeling when you get the real thing.

Phild Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Phil ...your treading a fine line now ...in danger of not only going off topic ,but in great danger of opening up the most annoying topic ever ! Ooops sorry. I will edit it out of existence
NEV Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Ooops sorry. I will edit it out of existence Lol ,I'm not a mod Phil ...it was tongue in cheek ,but then again ,probably a wise move

Expect this will be getting a hammering up and down the country. I think there may be two boots of this, the one above is poor(ish) quality sounds like a cleaned up mp3 and is not even as good as the one I've got in my itunes, the other one which I can't see on ebay, must be better. Someone has a sense of humour though, in the run off it says "Mick H rules ok"!
