Little-stevie Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Any of you got Wiliam Hunt...Would you believe for sale or know of where i can get a copy/price etc?? cheers steve
Mace Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 About £30 - £40, maybe more now. Sounds like its worth 10 times that though.....great tune
Ezzie Brown Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 went for$70 odd i think last week thought it was a steal,fantastic record!!!!
pikeys dog Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 If I remember correctly - the UK copy is a completely different version of the track - try before you buy to ensure it's the right one....

Soulsmith Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Missed out on one couple of months ago. Went for about £30 but wasn't mint. Credit to Andy BB for giving it air play.
Pete S Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 been played in r&b popcorn rooms for ages and played by UK collectors for years as well...Pikeys Dogs right, there's two different mixes, but there both as good as each other really
Guest Trevski Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Missed out on one couple of months ago. Went for about £30 but wasn't mint. Credit to Andy BB for giving it air play. Been played, on and off since the early 90's at least. I have played it on occasion, since then, at Wilton etc. Good record, perhaps too cheap, unfortunatly, if you know what I mean.
Guest Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) we've certainly got both usa & uk filed away. you're welcome to make an offer and we'll played both versions tomorrow and compare. last time we sold the usa press was £40 stock, £50 for the DJ the UK press is tough to find.. i'll take listen to both ... as we've not sold a UK PRESS for years and years ..then decide on a value..

pikeys dog Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 the UK press is tough to find.. i'll take listen to both ... as we've not sold a UK PRESS for years and years ..then decide on a value.. Don't you have a valuation in your UK 45 Guide?
Phil Shields Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 us version is the best IMO played it out on and off in belfast for ages and have to agree its only problem is the price....if it were a 300+ tune it would get played everywhere......fantastic 45 theres another version on columbia, can't remember artist at the moment but its poor in comparsion to mr. hunts.

Phil Shields Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 i agree thats why i've played out every chance in belfast
Chalky Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) fantastic record and every collection should have one. I've sung (not literally) the praise of this record for years. Has had spins on and off since at least the mid 80's. Edited May 7, 2007 by chalky

Kenny Lonas the other version Phil, agree with you too it's shite in comparison to William Hunt.

Guest Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Don't you have a valuation in your UK 45 Guide? always, without fail, we re-evaluate a record's value everytime we process a copy.. check the sales data, who last bought it (yes there are collectors who ONLY buy my mistakes) and listen to it again, read comments on chat rooms & check the last time we had a copy for sale.... all of which varifes quality, rarity and demand otherwise Don Gardner Cheating Kind - would be £3.00......wouldn't it?
Guest Baz Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Dont the fabians do a good upper tempo version of this?
Sean Hampsey Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 The UK issue / version is billed as "Willie Amos Hunt" on UK Camp. Normally goes for no more than £50 on British. Sean

If one person has expressed the wish to own a record and several others have said that it is a nice tune, does that qualify a raise in price? You admit yourself that you haven't sold a UK copy in a while and that you have one filed - surely this means the demand is low? In my opinion this means your 'price guide' is of no value, as you may just change your mind of a records value at any given time? BTW There was a whistling man to indicate the joke...
