Frankie And Johnny - I'll Hold You (Belgian) Decca

[Guest uroffal]

Can anyone help with the going rate for this these days? Arguably rarer than the UK Decca or US Hickory presses as it never seems to show up.

I know Pete S said in a thread around 3 years ago he'd sold one for £200 5 years earlier but with the UK and US originals now selling for £300-£400 + just wondered if this would command a higher price now?

Thanks in advance.

Can't understand why as USA copy, issue or demo, would sell for more than £125, honestly.

The British copy will always get a decent price.

Belgian one?  Rare but as much demand?

[Guest uroffal]

Thanks Pete I agree, US copy pretty common record - looking at Popsike last year or so there have been so pretty high prices paid (mostly over £200 some over £300). That's my problem Belgian one seems very scarce but there are of course fewer collectors of European pressings.

I had a Poets - She blew a good thing on Belgian London, never seen another, barely raised an eyebrow!

Amazing. I had no idea there was a Belgian Frankie and Johnny until I found this one! Might just auction on here and see how it goes.

There was a thread about this 3 years ago.

Thanks Chris, I have read that thread just wondered if the price had increased in the last 3 years or so

Thanks both, that's helpful. Will have a think and maybe do as set sale on here then.

The Belgian issue is about the rarest I guess (unless there's a Guatemalan issue) they don't come up for sale often, if at all. One did sell for £100

end of last year, not much but European labels don't go for much collectors seem to want UK1st then US. Good luck.

Thanks mate, looks like £100 is about its market limit then.

I'd want more than that if I was selling it I think.

£100 is a bargain.

Woul you take £30 then ?

[Chris L]

If it's of any help to you, a copy of the Belgian issue fecthed $160 on eBay six months ago and another copy sold on there two weeks ago for £36.

 

Somebody got a bargain then...........................
