Tobytyke Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Timi Yuro It Will Never Be Over For Me sold this morning on e bay for £1310 pounds. Has anyone paid more for a U.K soul 45 ? 1
Pete S Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 That really is double the price it should be though. Last one I had I sold for £700 and I wouldn't ask more for it now. 3
Tobytyke Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 i think you are right pete yet four bidders were prepared to pay over £900. i would suggest the next one you sell should be £900 and you would have three phone calls within the hour

jimmy clitheroe Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 billy harners withdrawn 45 is tough on british
Pete S Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 billy harners withdrawn 45 is tough on british I'd rate that as the hardest of all UK's. 1
jimmy clitheroe Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I'd rate that as the hardest of all UK's. Just wondering if youve ever had /seen one Pete ?.. Paul
Pete S Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Just wondering if youve ever had /seen one Pete ?.. Paul No I've never had one - I've had one in my hands - to compare it to the vocal - you have to play them otherwise it's just a couple of millimetres difference in the run off groove.
Gilly Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 No idea, make me an offer Hi if yours is the copy with return to BBC library stamped on it in purple in then that's my old 45 maybe
Julianb Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Hi if yours is the copy with return to BBC library stamped on it in purple in then that's my old 45 maybe Hi Gilly no, it's got clean labels both sides.
Ian Dewhirst Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Actually I'm in possession of the rarest UK 45 of all-time. Only 5 were test-pressed, 3 were immediately returned to the pressing plant as the release had been cancelled by then due to legal issues, with the other remaining copy being also being retained in a private collection (but not a Northern Soul one). Unfortunately I can't reveal the title since it would cause a legal avalanche as it should never have been pressed in the first place. But it's absolutely the rarest UK pressing of all-time and one I'm keeping anyway. It's the rarest record I've ever owned in 45+ years of collecting and also a monumental record anyway, so I'm happy to be the custodian. Ian D
Ian Dewhirst Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Hi Gilly i think that copy is/was in Tony Ellis´s collection or is that who you got it of? Steve LOL, I saw that copy in the 70's. It's obviously bounced around a bit.... Ian D

Linda4me Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I'd rate that as the hardest of all UK's. Rarer than Ben E King Pete ??
Pete S Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Rarer than Ben E King Pete ?? Yeah I'd say so, the Ben E King seems to be a fluke pressing mix up, at least the BH got into the shops - well one shop anyway
Linda4me Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I'd rate that as the hardest of all UK's. Didn't Ian Clarke sell one for around £900 ??
maslar Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah I'd say so, the Ben E King seems to be a fluke pressing mix up, at least the BH got into the shops - well one shop anyway Ben E King ICBTNTM? Wasn't that a white label test pressing? I know the person who owned it and that's what it sounded like by how he described it. I know he swapped it for a certain UK tamla demo he needed to complete his collection.
Ian Dewhirst Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Are we allowed to play 20 questions Ian.? Not at this point Kev. Could be sued. I'll unveil it in 2020. It's mouth-watering though...... Ian D 1

I know he swapped it for a certain UK tamla demo he needed to complete his collection. No, you know the yellow Atlantic demos? It's like one of those but with blank yellow demo labels and the title was handwritten on, they must have done a few of these test pressings then changed their mind and replaced it with another track (all tracks were on an EP I think) so there is an actual demo for that issue number, but the ICBTN is just on those two or three test presses.

Ah right. I think I got the white label bit mixed up with something else. I know the person who he swapped it with claimed there was at least one other copy so that ties in with what you say about there being a few in existence.
Guest Carl Dixon Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Ian D...I think you have given me a clue with the word 'custodian'? Is it a yellowish label?
MotownDave Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I think Mick said he has had 3 Ben E Kings and there is one other making 4 , though that is just from memory and mine is a bit foggy most of the time
jam66 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Genuine question. How rare is the withdrawn Otis Redding, You Left The Water Running. Knew all about his widow withdrawing it but there's a couple of other versions I prefer so never thought about it much.

Not rare at all, one on ebay from the same seller every week for years. Unless you mean a proper withdrawn 45, in which case, sorry, didn't know there was a real one.

Sorry mate checked me facts again it was just the Stone one that was withdrawn, for some reason I'd got it in my head there was a British Atlantic one.
Wiggyflat Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I've a UK Shapiro Bernstein acetate of Ben E King... Was picked up by a UK Band The Dakotas who covered it badly..the b of the Acetate is an unknown female group.I'll stick with the Timi Yuro on the UK Lp. Edited April 17, 2014 by wiggyflat
Mick Holdsworth Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 The Marlena Shaw - Wade In the Water - on UK Chess is quite rare. It was pressed up using Ramsey Lewis labels in the early 70's. I only know of two, and one of those is rough, but there may be others. Cheers Mick 1

It's obviously bounced around a bit.... Ian D It came from one of the London boys but cant remember who,just noticed the guy that bought it from me my dear friend Mick Holdsworth
Ian Dewhirst Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 If it's a 60's release, sounds amazing. If it's 70's or 80's, doesn't count. It's a 60's recording Pete. One of the greatest...... Ian D

Undergroundman Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Hi Pete , I had the UK Ben E King in the 90's It was yellow on the A side with just a blank white label on the I can't break the news side not yellow both sides
Pete S Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Hi Pete , I had the UK Ben E King in the 90's It was yellow on the A side with just a blank white label on the I can't break the news side not yellow both sides That's a weird one then, wonder why would they put a white label on? Mick's was definitely yellow both sides though.
Undergroundman Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 The A side was printed out not hand written the record ended up with John Manship thanks for reply

Ian D But was it a 60s press close to the original recording date? It sounds like they didn't have the rights in the end so is technically a boot LOL
Ady Croasdell Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 It came from one of the London boys but cant remember who,just noticed the guy that bought it from me my dear friend Mick Holdsworth This London boy. I said I could get any UK record and Tony Ellis bet me a fiver I couldn't get QOF. I got it but sold him it for not much so he really won the bet. I thought I was going to be retired by the time I was 25 but the guy got cold feet.
Ady Croasdell Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Or the 444 Test press of Sam Nesbit. Two great sides so rare nobody knows who's got it!
Guest Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) That's a weird one then, wonder why would they put a white label on? Mick's was definitely yellow both sides though. Ben E King -Yellow press - lables both sides hand written credit issue number only Edited April 18, 2014 by Guest
Pete S Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Ben E King -Yellow press - lables both sides hand written credit issue number only Mick wrote his own credits on his first one though so was probably blank both sides, I've got a scan of it somewhere.
