Sharlow45 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Hi guys, Anybody have any idea what Devotions - Do Do De Dop on Nation is worth in VG- condition?
Quinvy Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Hi guys, Anybody have any idea what Devotions - Do Do De Dop on Nation is worth in VG- condition? I think the last one on J.M's auction went for £1100. But that was in excellent condition. Phil.

Pete S Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Which side is it more in demand for? The sweet soul side or the more northern side? Scott I've only ever heard the De-Do side. What a fantastic record. You selling it?

Sharlow45 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 I've only ever heard the De-Do side. What a fantastic record. You selling it? I may sell it. I just picked it up yesterday, though, and will probably want to spend a couple months with it in my box before letting it go.
Guest Sue Males Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I may sell it. I just picked it up yesterday, though, and will probably want to spend a couple months with it in my box before letting it go. Great record. But being styrene & vg-, does it hiss or distort ?
Sharlow45 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 Great record. But being styrene & vg-, does it hiss or distort ? Good question. To be completely honest, I have not listened to it yet as I was out of cleaning solution last night and I did not want to play it before I got a chance to clean it. It looked glossy but had stored out of the sleeve scuffiness. Upon a listen, I may find it in worse or better condition than it appears.

It's one of those records that could look mint & hisses like crazy just down to one play with a duff stylus. Yet you could have one that's been stored out of it's sleeve most its life but plays perfect due to not getting groove wear. So good luck. Is it an issue or demo ?

Expensive styrene records make me nervous. I actually work for a company that makes record needles and feel well informed about what is improper and proper needle usage, but I've seen styrene records just go completely burnt in one or two plays on tables/needles that seemed up to spec. Then I've seen styrene records like Don Gardner's "My Baby Likes To Boogaloo" that you could play on an old school record router like a Califone 20 times and hear no degradation??? I guess it boils down to the quality of materials.
