Barry Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 The one little vinyl diamond you have in your box, the one you wouldn't part with for the world (or would you?) Which is it?
pow wow mik Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) not soul, but latin funk boogaloo monster 'Hit The Bongo' on original 45. Unless someone tells me different, the only known copy. Edited March 29, 2007 by mik parry
Guest mel brat Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) The one little vinyl diamond you have in your box, the one you wouldn't part with for the world (or would you?) Which is it? Luckily, I have a smallish box FULL of "vinyl diamonds"! I hate ever having to part with any of them, whatever their financial value. (I'm not mentioning titles though, as that would seem like bragging!) Edited March 29, 2007 by mel brat

Guest Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 The one little vinyl diamond you have in your box, the one you wouldn't part with for the world (or would you?) Which is it? I bought the limited edition of the Precisions produced for the Prestatyn 2006 weekender. Stood in a queue with my feet on fire for over an hour (regardless of some cockey bint swooshing up and pushing in!). Worth the wait though, the 3 remaining lads signed it and I was happy

Steve G Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 The one little vinyl diamond you have in your box, the one you wouldn't part with for the world (or would you?) Which is it? Not the most expensive record but a real treasure Dee Irwin "You satisfy my needs" (UK Stateside Demo Mint)

Ged Parker Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Danny Wagner - I Lost A True Love - Imperial Demo. Margaret bought me this for Christmas in 1979 before we were even engaged, been married 25 years next month. I remember having a bomb scare at a pub I ran and before the logistics corps carried out a controlled explosion on what turned out to be two telephone directories wrapped in brown paper this was the one record I went back for.

Guest Netspeaky Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 My HMV Demo of The Tams - Hey Girl Don't Bother Me, the record that took me down the soulful road of collecting.
Guest Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Paul Walters - 521 Records Mal.C Love this!!!! Mine would be The Conquistadores on a white demo. I usually prefer issues as they're more appealing to the eye, but this really does for me!
Alan Pollard Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 40 years of collecting you amass alot of stuff that you thought you would never find but the discs I prize so much are:- J.T.Rythym - All I want is you -Palmer. The Four Tops - Baby I need your loving - Stateside Demo. The Four vTops - Ask the lonely / Where did you go - Tamla Motown Demo. Soul Brothers Inc - Pyramid - Goldeen Eye. The Velvelettes - That's a funny way - Jobete Music Corp. Regards Alan
Guest Kevin J Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 mike - cant wait to see you in november when i will talk you out of owning that record and adding it to my collection. love that thing to pieces ... and never see it for sale. at least i will get to hear it played out and will dance my skull off to it. the one record that i would never get rid of, simply because it just makes me gitty everytime i hear it is Paul Sindab - Cant Wait No Longer on Kasika. just such a happy go lucky tune, with a bit of sentimental value thrown in. will always remind me of one of the funnest weekends i have ever had. kev Love this!!!! Mine would be The Conquistadores on a white demo. I usually prefer issues as they're more appealing to the eye, but this really does for me!
Guest CapitolSC Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 The one ill never sell. Gloria Hill Be somebody on Deep. Bought from Randy at the 100 club in 86. What a TUNE Al H
Rbman Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Tell Her...Dean Parrish on Boom.....vg--- got it for a mug of tea at Knutsford Services on my first trip to Wigan in 1975. Never been tempted to buy a replacement although it is almost unplayable.
Guest vinylvixen Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 The one ill never sell. Gloria Hill Be somebody on Deep. Bought from Randy at the 100 club in 86. What a TUNE Al H Look into my eyes, not around the eyes....you will give me the Gloria Hill - you won't sell it to people who beg you for it Same thing with me. Bought the Tempos 'I'll never forget' off Randy in 80/81ish and it'll be allotted to one lucky person in my will So you'd all better start being nice to me Plus the Spinners on UK R&W Tamla Motown 'How can I/ Sweet Thing'....The fat lady will have sung before I part with that - and I ain't singing Jo
Dave Moore Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Absolute screamer from back in the day. Encapsulates all the excitement of the era for me.They don't make 'em like this anymore. Frantic perfection. Might not hear it much nowadays but I pull it every now and then. A keeper for life. So good....Tim A wrote a booklet on it!

Guest just mo Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Not a lot of money. Just exquisite! Soul by the lorry load! The Emotions - Somebody New - Deep Soul (uk)
Mike B Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 three different 45's for three different reasons: Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor - Charger The first original US 45 I bought and the last one I'd ever let go - call it played out but to me its the epitome of a Northern Soul dance record and I still love it. I sometimes drop it into a set in the midst of the rare stuff just to show I'm not a vinyl snob and it never fails to fill the floor Jimmy Burns - I really Love You - Erica Took me years to get a copy and doubt I would ever get another if I sold it. Doni Burdick & The Fabulous Thunders - Faith - SIR A personal gift from a man with whom I became good friends and so it has a lot of sentimental value. Its surreal telling my soulie mates who stay in my spare room that Doni Burdick stayed here lol. Maybe its not the worlds greatest dance track (its a cover of the Melvin Davis version on Mala ) but in terms of rarity its right up there - I only know of two copies and I've got one. A definite keeper. I never used to like selling anything but now I'm more inclined to let things go to help fund things I really want - I'll be listing a few in sales this weekend Enjoy your weekend Mike Bolderson
Guest Michael Higgins Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 "The Drifter" on UK. Bit of a cliche tune now, but I love all those ones in the catalogue number. Also, it was a bit of a chase. The guy I bought it from nearly never quite got round to letting me have it even after I had paid for it. (All a very long time ago, but I well remember him and his rancid ilk )
Sean Hampsey Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Not a lot of money. Just exquisite! Soul by the lorry load! The Emotions - Somebody New - Deep Soul (uk) Agree on that one! Just sublime. Sean

Hipcity Hipster Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 For me I'd have to say Cajun Hart - Got to find a way W. Bros demo Meant so much to me to find this on a car boot about 10 years ago for 50p Close second is Otis Lee Hard roe to hoe Quaint Took me so long to get and just sends shivers down the spine still However, sadly I am selling some personal bits from the collection. Need the money for house improvements. Wants welcome..... But not my UK labels or Karmello Brooks / Lou Ragland / Ree Flores etc There is a small list of about 60 "so far" Best Rob why not check out my site at www.hipcityrecords.com
