Jim G Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Well John has a really exciting one for auction, red stock issue copy of the Larry Clinton classic. Get your wallets out boys and girls. I forecast £7,500 https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction/10649/shes-wanted Edited January 7, 2016 by jim g Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 How long since this (the same one I believe) was last on there, doesn't seem like that long ago although time does play those tricks as we age. I was thinking, all be it a risk, could be worth thinking rather than imagining owning until you die, imagine owning for 2 years and sending it back to John to auction. Speculating on the market of big ticket NS originals? Could have it's own section in the Financial Times, Clinton Up, Wilson down , buy Clinton? 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There is a previous topic somewhere on here where Andy Dyson tells what Eddie said, think it was to Kev when Kev showed him the issue. As for the third copy not sure it ever turned up.

Chalky Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I didn't know Rob had a red issue? Andy Dyson got one at Yarmouth time which isn't the one Searling had which Kev now has. So The ebay one would be the third or the fourth copy. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tagtag Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Sorry to disappoint but I have never had a red one. Still have a white demo bought from Gary Smelt in 1995 @£600. Not a bad one though. He initially had this on the same auction list as Frank Wilson (Soul demo) and Anderson Brothers (Issue)!!!! Regards, Carl Jones 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie Crocker Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Numbers wise, Larry Clinton counts as a 'grail' Soundwise, not really 'holy' IMO as there are better tunes and far more uplifting records to dance to. Sure, I would like to own a copy, and if I found one, I would definitely keep it and perhaps appreciate it more. OK, so there are 3 or possibly 4 red issues out there making the hunt all the more interesting, but it is now an oldie so often heard down the years, one can understand the disinterest in the record.

Chalky Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I presume the one Rob had then is the one Andy D got as the one with Kev is the one Searling had. The one on ebay I take it is the one sold via JM originally and about to be resold. That makes three known issues. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

He has a very enterprising entertainments business so maybe he has cash problems with one of his latest projects. He's a bit of an ellusive character, he sometimes turns up at local events I am DJ'ing at for the odd hour and then dissapears again for a few months. I think he's bought other rare classics things from Johnny in the past but keeps his vynil addiction fairly quiet. Another clandestine collector methinks....

At the time I bought Honey & the Bees - Dynamite Exploded and Sonny Herman - Utopia from Mick. I saw the stuff Rob had a couple of weeks later at Derek Allen's soul nite in Hinckley, Rob had some top oldies in the box for sale including the Larry Clinton issue.

Chris L Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The seller will have to pay JM commission any idea how much that is ?

I think that last time on the JM auction 2 years ago it finished at almost £7,500. So, on that basis, if the commission is 20% (it may have been negotiated/discounted down due to the potential sale price) it would need to reach £9,375 ( £9,375 less 20% = £7,500) as a break-even deal. However, the owner has had the use and enjoyment of owning the record, which has got to be worth something. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
