Some mind blowing sums laid out here but not across the board. Gloria Jones virtually doubling in price but Andy Fisher commanding 25% below book price.  Gobsmacked by the Rita Lee price - always thought the pink-on-white issues of the label releases were reissues or a subsequent afterthought press, so is this format the first and only issue of this Salvation track?

[Soul-slider]

I have that Rita Lee white with purple print, astonished! I'd take half that for mine!

[Peter99]

Thanks for putting this up Jim.

Hope it's ok to say that it's Wednesday night and Joe's not with us.

Only format for the Rita Lee I think?

Butch plays Cressa Watson not Rita Lee. Cressa Watson on Charay very rare. Must be loads of Rita Lees floating about they were 50p back in the 70s and everyone had them.

100% Agree, Rita Lee is not in any way shape or form rare.

I thought it a £10-£20 record but must have misjudged the demand, I guess loads of these will come out of the woodwork in the next few weeks; everyone will now be expecting £500+ and every DJ will be digging out their copy just to show they have a copy. Mine is gonna stay in the box at home because I'm not gonna follow the crowd

Must be loads of (INSERT NAME OF ARTIST HERE] floating about they were 50p back in the 70s and everyone had them.

But isn't that the case with many 45s fetching high amounts today? 

[Guest Aaron Darcy]

Rita Lee ' i have sold 3 copies over the last 18 months for £40 pounds each JM gets over 800 pounds well what can i say soul scene is fooked

never seen the Cressa Watson, ever. How many known?

[Frankie Crocker]

I need to get out more often as I have never seen a Rita Lee. I used to have a Men From Macon 'Salvation' on Le Cam, pink-on-white label but sold this in the late 70's: I see John has this marked at a tenner in Price Guide #6. So, which is THE version then as I don't recall seeing a Men From Macon's 'Salvation' on yellow Charay either?

[Chalky]

i know of 4 I think.  If Rita Lee is worth that then Cressa must be £10k. It is a 70's press done for the scene by the label owner who was in touch with Barrie Wadd (I think) who was feedimg him info about what was in demand and popular. It was around a ton not too long ago. 

[Kegsy]

Never mind Rita Lee, what about the Incredibles, I know its a mint UK demo, but £916 has got to be pretty near a record for something on Stateside. In addition, besides the Darrell Banks issue and the Jimmy Ruffin "what becomes" demo how many other UK  (soul) records have sold for more ?. 

Just had look on popsike an EX Incredibles demo went for £433 in March, and the top price for a Stateside record is £720 for a Hoagy Lands demo.

Its a popular sound all right and it's so clear that "sheeple" will just bid mad amounts to get a proven dance floor winner rather than trying to break their own sounds, or playing something imaginative. Very depressing.

[Pete S]

Dave Hall is an alternative vocal to Jimmy Mack's "Go On" (B side of My World Is On Fire)

Not Barrie.It was Steve (Brad) Bradley.He must have loads of stuff sent from Major Bill Smith in the early 70s, I would not be surprised at all if he has a copy of Cressa.

[Soulof]

Was new to me that Leno Philips Confusion  .  Very nice tune wish I had the money for it  £232 seemed OK I think.

That's a lot of money, hope buyer is happy with his/her purchase.

knew it was one of them.  Another mate has a copy of Cresa which he was looking to sell.  JM probably the best place too.

I presume you are talking about the Rita Lee there Chalky?

What's the story with the Cresa Watson then. Don't think I've ever heard it.

yes mate.  Cresa the first and very rare.  Rita pressed up by Major Bill later.  Cresa is a yellow label, will sort a scan when I get the chance.  Althout the Butch factor comes in to play Andy Dyson probably made it popular everywhere including Kings Hall, thats why Rita is so in demand.  When me and Andy compared the 45's sure they sounded differnet takes but not so sure now.

[Davetay]

I had one in the 70's sold to Ian Gillibrand, l am sure Barrie Wadd had it as well at the time.

There are only a handful, that's for sure.

Timi Yuro and Chapter five have both gone for over a grand on more than one occasion recently. Is it rareity or demand that decides?

a lack of imagination and a loss of all sense in some cases

Well it aint rarity in the case of Timi Yuro and I can't see how its demand in the case of Chapter Five, never cottoned too that record really.

So is Rita Lee the same person as Cressa Watson?

This lady?...(and a friend of Bowie)...

From Tim Brown today...

The Bank Holiday continues with our latest list of rare soul goodies comprising Northern, Modern and Funk. Our latest auction items are also indicated and will be 'live' on the website this week. 
Many thanks to those of you who participated in August's auction, with prices achieved of over 4k for The Tomangoe's and nearly 2k for Candi Staton, it might be opportune to remind customers that we charge only 12% to offer auction items for you (and this amount includes VAT). Apologies for the mix-up over Rufus Wood, obviously we did not accept a £500 bid for this 2nd issue. We wonder if the same thing has been offered to the unfortunate individual who 'won' the Rita Lee 2nd issue for £822.00 on Manship's auction!
Let us be clear on this one.... Both the Rita Lee and Men From Macon (the instrumental) versions of 'Salvation' are originally on a yellow/greenCharay label, exactly as per the more-often-seen Robert Thomas. Both are very scarce, in fact, I've not seen either for sale since buying them in 1976.
The re-issues of all the above were commonly available in shops in 1975 at less than 60 pence!

[Tobytyke]

Well it aint rarity in the case of Timi Yuro and I can't see how its demand in the case of Chapter Five, never cottoned too that record really.

Then it must be demand for TimiYuro and rareity for chapter five.....simples!

A snip at £164, are you crazy?

[Corbett80]

All of this reminds me of the bit in Blackadder where he has two pencils stuck up his nose and says 'wibble'.

Or where Peter Buttwerworth goes bonkers in Carry On Up The Khyber and begins to play an imaginary flute.
