" A Sign Of The Times"!

[John Hart]

Mucho Jaw dropping at the prices  Mr  Manship achieves evey week , aghast members recall prices from decades ago ,a pint of bitter was 10p etc ,etc,    Beat this for Rapid inflation   ?? Pete Jolly " A Sign Of The Times " us Columbia ,3 copies appeared for  sale on Discogs at £ 500 a piece and one on  Pat Brady,s current auction nudging £300.! I bought one from US, mint Columbia for 57$ dollars { about £30 } 2 weeks ago ., other on Ebay sold for 67$ ,last on discogs ,issue ,made £5 in 2020.

What is the fuss all about? Firstly Mr Jolly is a famous Accordion player and pianist on tv show themes . The Tune is an instrumental of Pet Clarks  Vocal version from 1965, Peters version is on a par with Derek and Ray ,Pat Williams ,etc,etc.  ! I  remember the Pet Clark ," Sign" being played at the Casino ,along with her " Gotta Tell the World " and the Jolly Instro from an  LP .not at the allnighter but at the myriad of  Empress Ballroom mid week and Sunday Soul sessions in the 60s.    As a  "Crazy Northern Instro" Phsyco , I Luv Mr Jolly,s super investment.     Stay Happy and Safe ,John , Malaga,Spain.
