MarkWhiteley Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Thios is a spin-off from the frank Wilson topic... I'm just curious of what the real rare records are?? I'll start off with a few I know, maybe you folks can elaborate The Inspirations on Breakthrough - 1 copy to my knowlege The CODs on Kellmac (She's fire) - 1 copy Blue Sharks "These things will keep me loving you" - Only 1 copy known in the past 20 years, one turned up on eBay a while back, whether or not it was the same one I don't know. Frank Beverly on Rouser - 2 copies Milton James "My lonely feeling" - 2 copies Kell Osborne "Law agains a heartbreaker" - 2 copies Mello Souls - 3 copies Richard Lackey "Love shopping" - 3 according to Manship Don Gardner "Cheating kind" - 3 copies + other super-rare stuff, sure there are only a handful of stuff like William Powell, Inticers, Eric mercury, JD Bryant, Don Gardner, etc. etc., and I'm sure the list goes on and on, but I'm going to stop now. Can anyone help populate the list? Billy

Pete S Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Heres a list of your "rarest of the rare". link At least 50% of that list have turned up on Ebay. Remember some of us were buying off there 5/6 years ago. It was like taking candy from a baby.

Gene-r Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) I'm sure there are only two known copies of "The Hurting Is Over" by Arthur Willis & The Soulful Dynamics on Mars La Tour (remember I raved about this a few months ago!!). They're believed to be in the hands of Butch and Andy Rix. Also add to the list (please correct me if I'm wrong): The Limelites: Don't Leave Me Baby (Uncle) - 2/3 copies? Royal Five: My Baby Cares For Me (Cobra) - 2 copies (I think) Rodd Keith: Like The Lord Said (Preview) - 3 copies? Kenny Gamble: Chains Of Love (Arctic) - 1 copy? Edited January 3, 2005 by Gene-R

MarkWhiteley Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 Apolgies if "o" is missing from words supposed to cntain "o", but the "o" key on my keyboard only wrks when it f*cking well wants <_< Thought of a few more... Margaret Little - Love finds a way - 2 known Billy Wisdom - Handwriting - 1 Out-a-site copy and about 3 acetates... let me know when this turns up would lve one Gene tones ISSUE - just the one as far as I know Gwen Owens "Wanted and needed" - 3 original issues (?) and a few more demos, or is it the other way round Damon Fox - 4 copies? Ernest Mosley DEMO - 1 copy, but fairly easy on blue label... Walter Wilson - 3 according to JM Ivorys on Wand - heard there were only a handful. Is this true? 'bout it now for me...anyone else?? billy
Pete S Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Gene tones ISSUE - just the one as far as I know seen one on ebay - micks got one - someone else I know had one, I'll remember who it is in a minute Ivorys on Wand - heard there were only a handful. Is this true? Supposedly only one so far...
Marc Forrest Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I'd be suspicious of Timmie Carr - one on ebay last week, second one in a few months apparently link Are you sure about that time period ? I´d guess it was nearly a year ago ?
Marc Forrest Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Gwen owens & Melvin Davis I think that Gwen Owens "Mystery man" on Oncore is rarer than her "Wanted & Needed" (of which at least about ten copies surfaced since she last visited Britain...). The rarest of them all Melvin Davis has to be his Jackpot 45. I know of only two copies and most people including Tim Brown and Butch did not even know about this recording. A fab doublesider btw. Marc
Guest in town Mikey Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 How do people regard 'rarer' copies on 'rarer' formats? ie If there were a thousand and one issues but only 2 dj copies, or vice versa. Or, a few 'local' releases, before going to a larger label? How would it effect the values?
MarkWhiteley Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Ivorys on Wand - heard there were only a handful. Is this true? Supposedly only one so far... link Oh no more than one copy....I know of three including mine. Edited January 4, 2005 by billytheboot

Or, a few 'local' releases, before going to a larger label? How would it effect the values? link The record is "avaiable" in it's original format, either demo or issue regardless of scarcity of one or the other. It's not as tho' there are only two known copies full stop (demos), there would be a 1001 issues also so the record is more obtainable. Value of the 2 known demos would surely be reflected but the record isn't a 2 kinown copy is it in the same token as Margaret Little or Kell Osbourne (Highland).
heikki 1 Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 What about Clyde McPhatter's "Please give me one more chance" Decca 45, was that real Mr Potts? The rarest of them all Melvin Davis has to be his Jackpot 45. I just typed Melvin Davis and Jackpot on google to find out more and I got a list of Michigan Lottery winners with a certain Melvin Davis from Detroit on the list. Wonder if it was the one we know?

Superb record, started hearing this out again Tricky one Mikey and it appears you do have a rarity on your hands but as the issue is fairly common, seen a couple @ £150 recently I doubt this would reflect in the demo too greatly. Demo would be priced accordingly but doubt to the same effect as if it were a one copy record. Toughie really to price as not many others seem to have seen one.

Re don gardner = 100's we are all sat on a fortune, but would you sell them? as for 'known' copies i feel thats a little ambiguous, who in their right mind presses 3 known copies? somewhere, my friends, there must be more.

MarkWhiteley Posted January 5, 2005 Author Posted January 5, 2005 What About The Blendells On Dontee Shouldnt That Be Included ? Could Be Wrong Probably Am link I'll say! Pat sold one for £3,000 a while back didn't he? So it can't be a common record to sell for that much! But on the other hand the boots must affect the price.....in fact, think one sold on eBay a month or two ago fo about $1,200 (£700)....bugger! missed it!
Guest Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 There have been a few copies of the Blendells (the real deal) on ebay in the last year.
Guest Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Not sure if many know this, Gene Holiday - Scratch My Name Off The Mailbox on Johnson. I've heard there are only five known copies, two of which are here in Dublin; I've a Demo and my mate's an issue. Got mine from the states about a year and a half ago from a doo wop dealer. I've heard it ranging from £250 to £500 but price could be reflective of not being well known rather than rarity. In the right hands, could go through the roof. Incidentally, Rob Thomas didn't know it and Carl Willingham told me the $100 I paid for it was a bargain. Anybody got any info on this?
Mark Bicknell Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Regarding Gene Toones Blue stock/issue Simco copy and Mark White will be able to confirm this, he sold it to me in the early 80's for a snip compared to today's prices think i got that and a George Freeman demo for about £45.00, i then sold both that and an Empire's Candi demo to Carl Fortnum for £805.00 for the pair around 1989 ish, i think Gary Spencer had the Gene Toones not sure? It was a blue lable printed directly onto the vinyl and the script/wording/title etc. was almost worn away, also it developed a slight hiss at the start, love to known who has this now. Hope this helps, regards - Mark Bicknell.

Hope this helps, regards - Mark Bicknell. link Pat Brady had an issue when he was playing this at Clifton Hall/Wigan in the early eighties. I thought Gary Spence got his off Pat. (Swapped demo and other record). Long time ago though, might be wrong about it being GS. Are there two copies then ?
Paul McKay Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Not sure if many know this, Gene Holiday - Scratch My Name Off The Mailbox on Johnson. I've heard there are only five known copies, two of which are here in Dublin; I've a Demo and my mate's an issue. Got mine from the states about a year and a half ago from a doo wop dealer. I've heard it ranging from £250 to £500 but price could be reflective of not being well known rather than rarity. In the right hands, could go through the roof. Incidentally, Rob Thomas didn't know it and Carl Willingham told me the $100 I paid for it was a bargain. Anybody got any info on this? link Hi Paul Better make that 6 as I've got an issue too. Paul SITC
Guest Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Hi Paul Better make that 6 as I've got an issue too. Paul SITC You could be one of the five Paul. There are the two in Dublin, and I've heard a bloke in Wigan has another but I don't know where the other two are. Incidentally, any copy I've heard of have been issues, mine's the only demo I've heard of.
Guest Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Anybody any idea about how many copies of Jimmy Delphs 'Dancing etc etc' on Carla are around. Issue and demo ?
Ady Potts Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 The Gene toones issues, Micks like you said, & Carl Fortnum. Just remembered who the other Inspirations owners are: Kenny, Tim, Mick & Ginger. I'm a mind of useless information
