Mtay9778 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 One for auction on here, think it was scheduled to end yesterday Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 £1,250 or the US dollar rate at the time. Great record and pretty scarce so might fetch more depending on who is duelling for it. On a Manship auction, expect it to top £1,500. For records like this, there is no fixed price as such. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Winsford Soul Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I would have said £600 to £800 in the real world but from what people are quoting in previous posts. what do I know Steve ( hasn't got a clue ) Smith 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The trouble is though Steve,that real world is also inhabited by people who haven't been around on the scene for years like many people on here and some of them are prepared to pay a lot of money for trophy records. Like it or not,as good as they undoubtedly are, these are trophy records nowadays. In the big picture of things, they are also pretty scarce these days,mainly coming from collections these days I would say, and, like has been said before, they don't make them anymore. The price is only going one way as far as I can see…... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hands up who remembers back in early/mid 90s when Craig Moerer bought remaining Soul Bowl stock, found multiple copies of this one and offered it for something like $150 but didn't buy it for whatever reason. I raise my hand Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It's a great soul record for sure. Just to put a different slant on Steve's thread.................................... So, who played this first? For some reason my memory associates this with Pat Brady in the 80's - although my memory/knowledge is not something one would wager on in the slightest.

I'm sure someone had played it somewhere before, but in conversation with Tim & Butch none of us could remember it being played so I thought I'd cover it up. Like so many tunes around in the early 80's I think it had been in some of the late 70's Soul Bowl packs. But at the time of playing it John didn't put two and two together until I told him, then he said 'I think i've still got a few of those'. Simular story with Dan Brantley aka Sam Dees - Lonely for you baby. The first copy came from Ady Pountain and he suggested covering it as Dan Brantley. Although John didn't attend many venues, he did keep his ear to the ground as to what was getting played. He asked me on several visits what this record by Dan Brantley was I was playing, but I kept shtum, partly because unbeknown to him I was buying a few at a time from him It wasn't until I rang him to get a third helping of the Sam Dees that he twigged and said he wouldn't let me have anymore unless I told what the deal was, good old John, you could never pull the wool over his eyes for to long. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ay up Dave Hope you're well mate. Yep, good old John. I was never a huge buyer but bought quite a few bits from the bowl in the early 80's - John was always really friendly and helpful.

Mattbolton Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Absolutely at the pinnacle of soulfulness. Always regret turning down a signed copy from George Brown's daughter after she offered some up for about £300. Early days of money exchange then and seemed a bit sus. Rich Buckley got one from that source and true enough they were legit. Did anyone else have one off her? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andyontherock Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Bought my copy in about 1985 for £35.00 from Jimmy Price. Round about 1989 I got wind that it had been pressed and sold it to Rudzi (Boogaloo Records, Leic) for £100 as I needed to buy more bricks to finish building my garage. The idea being that I could easily buy one back at a later date.....How wrong I was.. Could pay someone to build a whole garage now if I still had it. Wonder if Rudzi still has it????
