Hammie Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Are we gonna get a bad outcome here ? A dealer in the States just looking in a british soul valuation book thinks he's got a 'SOUL RARITY' Doesnt realise his copy for sale probably IS'NT a mis- pressed TONY GALLA !!!!! To make things worse, there are 3 bids to date highest bid up at over $200 with only 8 hours to go None of the bidders appear to have asked if its a mis-press (no questions - no answers) I'm pretty sure there have been only a small batch of these mis-presses and ALL are black issues ? Incidentally i dont know what SOUTHBOUND FREEWAY sounds like but i'm guessing it is'nt very soulful and not what these wallies will be happy to end up with
John A Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I saw this and immediately dismissed it cos it was a demo, still, I've said it before, if people are dumb enough to pay silly money when they don't know what they're doing. It serves em right if unsure,at least do a bit of research first. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NORTHERN-SOUL-THE-SOUTHBOUND-FREEWAY-REVELATIONS-ON-SWAN-RECORDS-PROMO-4272-/371091717765?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item5666ca3e85 Edited July 2, 2014 by John A
Hammie Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 Just to make things worse...... The seller states there is an import charge to be added (looking like £50 plus) just to get an unwanted pop record out of the post office oh dear, oh dear
George G Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I can't speak for the bidders on this record, but the real Southbound Freeway 45 is worth some money. $200 might be a bit high but not out of the question. It's not soul, been a while since I heard it but I remember it being in a 60s rock/psych style. Certainly not an 'unwanted pop record'.

Yeah but the Seller clearly states its Northern Soul not a 60's rock/psych record and i'm thinking the bidders are gonna find this pretty unwanted when one of them wins it.
Quinvy Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I sent him a message, it is actually Southbound Freeway. Pop record I think.
Prophonics 2029 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) So the yellow copys are issues? I always thought they were an demo... Urhh dunno know seen the yellow Tony and thought I had seen a yellow Southbound. Edited July 3, 2014 by Prophonics 2029
Guest Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I'm a bit unclear about this.Is the Southbound Freeway "Revelations" that plays Tony Galla "In Love" really a Tony Galla issue with the wrong label?The real Southbound Freeway "Revelations" is a different record and not connected to "In Love" Tony Galla?I was told that the Southbound Freeway release was the first issue, but I am beginning to see that's wrong!

I was told that the Southbound Freeway release was the first issue, but I am beginning to see that's wrong! The ones that play Tony Galla have the wrong labels on. Southbound Freeway is a completely different record.
Soulhawk Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 It's not soul, been a while since I heard it but I remember it being in a 60s rock/psych style. Tony Galla isn't soul either I recall selling one of these mispressing on ebay years ago & Tony Galla actually contacted me!
Guest Ivor Jones Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Haha....! Touché..... SoulHawk,you're right of course, it isn't Soul. I think however,it is great "Northern Soul" though which obviously isn't always the same thing. I still love it anyway. It's funny because I sold my original white promo back in about 1990 ( for £40 ! )but then regretted it not long after and actually bought back one of the Southbound Freeway copies when Tim Brown had a few copies about 10-15 years back. Never realised that the Southbound Freeway promos were different. What's a realistic price on the S.F issue which plays "In Love" now then ? Best, Ivor
Hammie Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Brought mine off Tim Brown at Prestatyn weekender a few years back for £100 at the time Don't know if its gone up in value ? As there aren't many of these its not easy to value.
Soulhawk Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 it does have that stomping beat you old blokes like(d) 1
Pete S Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 it does have that stomping beat you old blokes like(d) It's got great unexpected chord changes as well though, takes it to another level.
