Just Like The Weather - Demo, Plain Blue Or Speckled ?

[Chris L]

What's the most desirable ? The white demo, plain blue label or darker speckled blue Constellation ? (yes I know about Bunky)

[dthedrug]

 Hi All......The white DEMO is the one to have & rarest, the shooting star label is very nice, then the blue label, however there are bootlegs of the blue label,  DAVE K

   The star copy is vinyl ( at least mine is).

[boba]

in my experience the blue non-starred is rarest. i don't know if it is most valuable or "desirable" though.

Around 10 years ago me and 2 mates were driving south side of Chicargo when we saw a open trailer full of records We stopped and enquired at the church charity shop next door They let us search through the trailer which was about a third full of 45s and 33s The only decent item we came away with was a demo of Nolan Chance So my vote goes to the demo

Is this one of those records that are 'of a time', as in 'you had to have been there'? I'm not meaning this post to be one of those 'sh*t record' comments by any means, as they serve no purpose, that's not what I mean. I genuinely don't think much to it, not even Butch's one. I'm not knocking the record for the sake of it, I just wondered is it just me? If so, I really am 'the odd one out'

Hi mate,

 

My point is, that I'm actually wondering if my taste is 'unique'  I was having a 'discussion' with Pete S about 'Romona Collins - You've Been Cheating' - I absolutely love it - he don't, and with ref this record, I get the impression that everyone (except me) absolutely loves it. I'm aware that people's different histories influence their taste, and can relate to people around the time this was first played loved it then, so obviously love it now - especially with their memories attached.

 

Does that make sense?

 

All the best,

Ramona Collins a top sound. IMO

[TOAD]

Ramona a weak dance tune Nolan Chicago dance perfection simple really

[Premium Stuff]

I have never really thought much about this record - maybe the title puts me off?

 

However, whenever I actually hear it, it does sound great

[Nocker]

Not a critic of Nolan Chance which is brilliant anyway, just commenting I also like Ramona Collins aswell Chees John

 Its not even a rare record on any of the constellation copies ...just always sells for too much

I thought its good, very good just a bit calmer on the vocal.

[Prophonics 2029]

Just to mention Ramona Collins short into version then 2 longer into versions. Spanner in the works.

[Chalky]

Vocally far far better for me.

I think it's generally assumed to be a mock up  ????

It's one of those records where you can have a sort of lazy, laid back, dance to - almost a cocky sort of walk type thing. If you know what I mean.

 

I like it.

 ....Oh god, I know exactly what you mean - That was priceless! - Consider yourself back in my good books    .......I'll dance to 'Just like the Weather' (in a c*cky fashion as described) if you dance to 'Romana Collins' (As if ya really mean it!)

Great Northern Soul classic from the golden era, I think all the label variations look desirable if they are in mint condition!

Yes I did have him in mind - again! God this is confusing at times   

 

Neither Pete's (Or any other Pete's for that matter) are in my bad books, and never were (Just thought I'd confirm that)    

 

Right - Out tonight, so 'we'll meet again' on Wednesday......or as the last time - Sunday night!  

 

Have a good weekend everyone.

I have "If he makes you" on yellow Constellation, so I guess it could have come out, there are quite a few releases in yellow, especially Gene Chandler.

I'll be selling a blue speckled in a weeks time.

 HI ALL....Is the BUNKY copy your own? if so is it foe sale? I forgot how similar it was with the CONSTALATION DEMO  DAVE K

[Jim G]

Bunky is rarest "issue" by miles, £3K plus if memory serves me right

But it's a reissue isn't it, came after all the others    did it not meet its reserve, something like £2400 final price, not the interest in it the seller thought?

Ask Mr Manship, he knows. He says it is the rarest issue, I am a mere mortal in these matters. Don't think it is re-issue, just one a few pressed at the same time as a Bunky Pick?

What determines a "rare record" ?

Why do I need to ask John?  I know what John thinks, talked to him about it when he auction it.  It is obviously the rarest of the Nolan Chance releases, anyone knows that.  Pretty sure the Bunky release was done from the same stampers as the constellation release afterwards for some self promotion, maybe to get a release overseas?  I can't find the topic started by guy who found one in Aus.

What detirmines a "rare record" ?

 

They are all rare in the grand scheme of things just some are rarer than others.  I agree with Nev for the amount of copies about and what you see for sale on a regular basis it should sell for half what it does.  It's a classic though so will always sell.

[TheBigO]

I always liked the 70s LP track version that John Vincent used to spin at the end of the 70's/early 80's and whose name has completely escaped now that I'm typing!

According to Ady in a previous topic he sold his "Bunky" one to JV.  Wasn't there also an acetate by supposedly Ritchie Parker, not very good if I remember rightly, have it on a disc somewhere.
