There is a near mint stocker for sale on discogs- asking price is 999 pounds. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mick Holdsworth Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Even though it's the least likely to turn up, it's always been fairly inexpensive compared to the Linda release. £200-300 last time I looked. Probably because it is a later release, and the original Linda is the one everyone wants. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The promo on Linda isn’t worth £800 although someone felt the need to pay that much for a copy (plus all the hidden taxes). The purple issue on Linda is much scarcer. Rampart white demos are styrene so possibly less desirable. The blue Rampart issue featured at the start of the thread is the scarcest variation, but presumably on styrene? Factoring in the David and Ruben green issues and white demos on Warner Bros vinyl means there are six ways of owning this tune, and what a truly great sound it is too.

Soulfulsolutions Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Here's half-a-half dozen. Always wanted the Blue Rampart, its the only one I haven't had and clearly outstrips all others in value. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The Majestics on Linda DJ actually sold for £934.01 Today, Henry Atkinson’s sales list had an issue and a DJ copy for sale at £425. Buying records on an auction with a global audience can seriously damage your wallet. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Or Henry needs to sell them elsewhere and get better money ? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Henry’s prices are very fair and reasonable. Too many British sellers think they can achieve maximum eBay prices for records they paid peanuts for. If buyers are patient enough, their record wants will come along sooner or later. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Geeselad Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Seen quite a few copies, in one form or another for sale in the last few weeks. Rather a lot have gone through eBay over the years. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Agreed, £800 is excessive even before eBay postage and taxes are added in. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
