Don't see what all the fuss is about.

 

Records should be black, end of. Coloured vinyl should be strictly reserved for all them shite pop tunes from the 70's that came out on coloured vinyl.

 

It's much harder to check condition on anything other than black as well.

I feel deflated like one of those people on Catfish when they finally meet.

 

I feel like I lost my hard-on half way through the foreplay, again, but without anyone to tell me its all right, it happens to everyone, while laughing out loud.....

Not being critical of you at all Jocko, but just wanted to point out (to everyone, really) that as far as I can see - in relation to this particular auction item - JM has not used Soul-Source at all. Not one post.

 

Every SS member who has posted on this thread, guessing records and talking about his marketing strategy, has done his job for him.

 

Nice successful piece of psychology by John though  :wink:

 

NO criticism at all taken young man, but I beg to differ. John has used the site in the only way he can, and very successfully. Arguably a bit naughty given his status but in todays multi media world, not even Berlosconi would be able to convince a jury he is innocent in this!

A bit disappointed,wanted it to be an issue/demo of an acetate only thing or unknown British release.

So the next question...........how much will The Professionals go for?

Might that be because your in the business of knowing and know a man, who knows a man, who knows the man who owns the said 45 ;)

Hurrah Sandy Golden has surfaced......much more of an interesting record....but there are several really good items on that auction.

 

Definitely some great items added to that auction - except for Tobbie Bowe

i more interested in the toni ross he has just listed!

This is another phenomenon that has occurred since this auction first started up. People buying rare records off ebay and this site and then sicking them on Manships aucton hoping to make a killing.

 

I may be completely wrong but there was a copy of Toni Ross on ebay a few weeks ago. Is this it? I know it went for a substantial amount, so if it is that copy, it's going to have to make a very high price, considering the 20% comission on top.

 

I did it myself in the early days of his auction when he only took 10% commission, and had some success. But I reckon a lot have failed to get the price they were looking for.

 

I sold a mint copy of the Conquistadors on here for a grand. I only had the one enquiry for what is a bloody great and extremely rare piece. Anyway a couple of weeks later it's on Manships auction, and it made £1300 I think. So a grand for the record and £260 commission means the guy made £40. Better than a poke with a sharp stick.  :P

It 100% definitely sold on ebay, I did 3 carvers off the recordings so I know I'm not imagining it.  Thought it was less than that price though...

Why the gold vinyl copy is on discogs is beyond me as its never been for sale before via the internet. The scan is I presume lifted from this site as it is the copy Dickie Watt owned and gave to Richard Searling, it was the one Robin found in the States i think. As far as i know Richard still has it. There is mention of another from the Yate days so that might be the other copy of it exists.

Here is the topic where Dickie posted the scan..

The one on JM's site appears to be the one Dickie posted.

 

So if Richard still has it, is he the one selling it now, or have I lost something in the mix?

I told you all of those wild guesses were hopeless and pathetic!

 

At least it was just a harmless game and you were all bidding on imaginary records with monopoly money.

 

Phil Dick had two houses on Park Lane and a red hotel on Bond Street...

 

He could have lost the lot !!!

Love to see what Tobbi Bowe goes for, without a doubt one the hardest 45s I've ever tried to sell

Anyone have an idea of its value

Cheers Darren

I sold mine for 750 some years back, very few copies had been up for sale at that time.

I thought it was the other way round, Richard gave it to Dickie, after buying it from Robin, Dickie (Carlisle) being Tricky Dicky's (Bolton)accountant!

Oops looks like Grumpy from Edinburgh posted same time as Grumpy from Burnley and Grumpy from Germany.

Thier version is what I have heard previously and pretty sure originally from Robin. Cmon Mr S you have the casting vote!

Yes you should have had Richard as a client and you would be sitting with a Professionals in your hand as we type!

If this is Dick's copy...here again is the story of how it came over here in the first place. Massive credit to long time Soul fan Nello Cotugno of Cleveland, Ohio - who found this at a record fair in the Cleveland area in the early 1980's. Nello reluctantly gave it to me in the early 1990's.(Must have been the arm up the back..) I sold it to Richard due to personal circumstances at the time. I understand Richard then gave it to Dick. The rest is history!
