John Manship's Tease Auction

[Dobber]

Seconded dobber, although I thought he already once auctioned a copy ? Theres definitely one lined up via that complete shrine run he currently is auctioning bit by bit. so yeah, another strong possibility here mate!

no mate there isnt one lined up...cos i had it im afraid!

[Marc Forrest]

Its all good fun this thread but I bet the one enjoying it the most is John Manship himself ;)

[Dobber]

i personally think its gonna be a motown discovery!...probably THE ORIGINALS! i cant remember the title? the one on the one off acetate? its gonna be an issue of that!

[Steve G]

If a record already exists in another original format, issue or demo, how can it be the rarest northern soul record?  If it's the rarest Northern Soul record it has to be a one off, maybe one other known or exist on an acetate.

 

Agreed Chalky….it has to be an album only track, or a missing major label number like Don Varner on Veep or something we thought only existed on acetate……Anything else would be a disappointment now…..

O.k then  it,s not very melodic  

[Premium Stuff]

So, Mr Royle has posted on Manship's auction FB page that it is "none of the above" and the above suggestions were Frank Wilson, Combinations and Sandy Golden - so it isn't any of those

Northern soul classic ORIGINAL!...that would suggest that it's a widely common classic among us all,and that it's known not to exist,and that it's probably a boot that we have all had/got or seen!

 

So get checking through your boots!

 

And it would suggest that it doesn't exist on any other label...ie don gardner on Quinvy/veep...just bros on garrison/wand!

Dobie Gray "out on the floor" DEMO thought not to exist.....

[45cellar]

Way back in the Early 70's before Information was widely known

I had an ARCTIC copy in my hands with "Rules Of Love" but selected a copy from the box with "Laws Of Love" stupidly thinking that it was a Different record..

 

Though most would say that the "Rules Of Love" Stock Copy doesn't exist. I'm almost certain that It wasn't a DEMO that I held that day.

Still leaves me with an element of doubt 40+ years later.

 

--------

 

On a similar note I was convinced that a Red Columbia George Carrow with the correct title should exist.

 

Following many posts on Soul Source asking If anyone had seen a copy, I reluctantly decided that It didn't exist.

 

Then out of the blue a copy turns up.

 

 

[45cellar]

Dobie Gray "out on the floor" DEMO thought not to exist.....

 

Definitely should be there.

 

Considering the other Charger releases have a DEMO

 

Why not 115.

 

Now that would be a sought after record If a copy were to turn up.

JM has always said he has never seen one, so I thought it could be worth a punt

Isn't that technically two copies, since there's a typo mistake on the top one? 

 

Ian D 

[45cellar]

Technically I suppose

 

However; the Incorrect title is listed in the books as there.

The Correct title Isn't there and was a calculated guess Initially on my part.

 

Never say never for me since that day.

The Visitors on Teri De

 

Ian D 

now this is funny.....the only other person who has mentioned this to me is the great STEVE COOPER from bedford who swore blind that when he met len jewel and bought some tunes from him...he had a record by the visitors on teri de that was blinding.....unfortunately he left it there....mistakes mistakes mistakes........but herein lies some truth....cos steve don,t lie

it's going to be the second issue of the sandpapers on charger which is #117 and which I've never seen. I will be the only bidder.

Does John say if it's an actual record or an acetate ? for instance the Ringleaders All of my life is a classic acetate that's been booted/ pressed as a giveaway what if he's found something like that on a vinyl test pressing or demo , I'm not saying the ringleaders IS the thing about to emerge , but there are a few classic of this nature that may well fit the bill. Regards Rebus.

Think the Sam Nesbitt was a Triple 444 (Dave Godin's label) test press?

I have a Sam Nesbitt test press(acetate) it is slightly longer version than the 45 on US.

I guess we could speculate forever, JM needs to put us out of our misery and one can only hope it is worth the hype.

But it exists on an issue so how can it be the rarest northern soul record?

[Chalky]

Is Junior McCants really that popular though?

 

Never will be because you don't hear it out being that rare, no one has it apart from 2, 3 or 4 collectors. 

 

But again it isn't the rarest NS record either and an issue doesn't exist as it never got that far in the process.

[Jim G]

JM clue is so cryptic it could be anything hence my punt at Dobie Gray. The demo would still be an original but in its rarest form and the word classic leads us to believe we all know it therefore excludes some super rare only played by butch items. "The world’s RAREST Northern Soul Classic ORIGINAL!"

 

Perhaps something else in his clue, he has never HELD this 45 in his hands. I would have to believe he has held all the classics at some stage in his hands so this could be something very well known from the top 500 yet hitherto unseen on a 45 in the format h has for sale?!

OK I have been thnking, I have an old mate who lives in the States now, originally from round here, about 6 months back he asked me if I'd be interested in selling a nice copy of Margaret Little for him, I just replied that it would be just as easy to do it yourself...spoke no more about it.  Except I got a message from him friday saying he was in the UK.  Maybe he's bought it over to give to John?  Not sure where that fits in with 'rarest original' but it's just a thought.

Pete...would you describe it as a "northern soul classic"... ?

[Pete S]

Hmmm.  No I'd describe it as a Northern Soul Dancer And Rarity but it wouldn't be in my top 1000 classics I don't think.

As for Betty Boo, that just came off a master tape didn't it?

Pete is it possible your mate had something else ? I also have a thought that the record may be from a foreign collection that's why there's no scan of it yet perhaps waiting for an ex pat to come home for Christmas. Just thought i'd chuck another idea in  regards S.

Any idea's what its gonna be

 

??? ???? C/w ???

The tease for 2013 is:

The world’s RAREST Northern Soul Record will feature HERE to end 18th. December in time for your best Christmas ever!

The suspense of holding this 45 is killing me

 

Could it be The Jades on green issue Nitelife ?

[Tony A]

Is it a classic covered by someone else that we didn't know existed ????
