Zanetti Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Ellipsis - 3316£ Crystal Clear - 673£ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 I would never have thought that a reissue label, one that has a good reputation, would have achieved such a price for a record. Without going through popsike, discogs and rootsvinyl... what would have been an acceptable price? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 According to popsike, a copy of the Barons sold for 42 pounds in April of this year. 100 pounds seems to be a median price, although there was a copy that went for 175 pounds. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Spook Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Barons only 50 demos pressed and no issues so if its getting plays demand and price increases. IMO £150ish however at least a minimum of 2 bidders were after it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I think it's a great tune, but to pay that kind of money for a record that is a modern press of a 60's unreleased track is silly to me! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It was never released so it it had got issued by Grapevine it would have been the first issue. plenty of examples of recent releases fetching good money and they are scarce Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I never got round to buying it, even though I did like it as a nice filler. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 JM states 69. Seem to remember Pat Brady plugging this at the Windmill club Rotherham about 1980? And quite a few copies selling around £30 which I bought at the venue. Don't think it was a bootleg, and it was not everybody's cup of tea. Coincided with the CROW and a few other funk rock style tunes. Great to dance to. Ed 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

To be honest I only ever remember him playing it before it got booted but I'm sure others can correct me if I'm wrong....The Crow was played far earlier, 75 ish A great record 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Can't see Wigan adopting that type of tune. I did not go to cleggy wg until 76, and cant remember it there, so it must have been and gone. Shocking record...I love it!

Remember hearing it somewhere in 75/76 when I first started doing nighters and thinking WTF !...Probably St Ives As you say, shocking .....Can I have more please Love it too Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Paul R Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) I believe the Crow was owned by Dave Godin who used to loan it to Ian Levine at times. 75 seems about right. Edited September 11, 2021 by Paul R 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
