Is this worth $800 ?

Edited March 16, 200817 yr by Winsford Soul

It looks like a copy of "Les Chansonettes", am I missing something?

Tony

I agree and $800 seems a very good price to me?

Mark

Although looking at the condition maybe $800 seems an okay price?

Hopefully it plays well!

Well there's no brown smelly stuff so it can't be Lenny Harkins' copy

I asked was it worth the $800 nothing else. I,m just a person who likes soul music not a walking encylopiedia who knows everything. But i knew someone on here would.

It's worth much more than that.....I don't think it's well known, and one or two copies have gone through ebay very cheap.....

it would make a nice dinner set

You did, Steve - I saw the posting myself... plain and simple, straight to the point: Is this pile of c**p worthy of an $800 price tag !! Sorry !! Sorry !! That is to say: Is this (delete delete delete delete) worth $800 ??

Yep.. that's defo what I saw - perhaps Tony & Bearsy are just bored !?! Looking for sumfink to get their 'Britannic' brains into.. sumfink that will test them for more than 3 seconds ??

Bet them two together could build one f**k off Mole Hill

I like the way you rose to defend your corner Steve - methinks, though, that was just as the boy's intended.. forcing you into indulging their ploy !! They knew they could get you to bite and so, be able to successfully extend their contribution - to more than the demand you thought a simple question would require for a swift & satisfactory resolve to your 'Short & Sweet' enquiry.

Hang about.. Got It Steve !! It's that 'unwritten' rule of friendly forum posting engagement innit ?? (FFPE for short) Y'know.. where, unless you deliberately encourage the posting to last more than two minutes - these two eagle eyed bu**ers pounce from behind their well concealed 'Site Endorsed' place of preparotory concealment (PPC for short - just in case you wondered) to tackle 'Head-On', and with unrivaled eagerness, the dutiful challenge laid before them.

Can understand completely how the outcome favoured them, though, Steve - I mean.. they're seasoned proffessionals - what chance do us mere lesser mortals stand against such a calculated and ruthless deployment of their talents in that particular department ?? None.. I can tell you !!

(Wassa time then ?? Surely, I've gone more than the required two minutes by now'ent I ?? I must 'av !!.. - OH BO****KS !! Me blooming clock has stopped AGAIN.. !!)

Thanks Mate. I knew i could depend on you or one of the other refugees from the real world to fight my corner as i had been got and therefore couldnt rise to anymore bait ,s

Steve,

I've edited this post now I realise that it's a current auction , anyway put another $400 on it. I've seen it go for $1500.

Two days to go, I suggest you watch this space. My guess is it'll go for well over $1000

I'd rather listen to Martha Reeves personally.

I love it btw... although I am probably in the minority.

W W!! Not a bad investment. I take it the numbers read 114 and not 105?

Still not my bag though I'd be interested to see what it fanally goes for

yeh 114 that was before, the shrine market went crackers, think there was only the cautions around then

Haven't heard it out for yonks.. but that's maybe because I spend way too much time at home these days

Brilliant, Lenny's Anal Record Cleaner, Do you insert the battery first???? LMAO

Never met Lenny Harkins (ex Caley Soul) and I'm sure he's a stand up guy, however for the want of not sounding like a gossipmonger, what's the connection with poop?

His advtar is a picture of himself with a Shrine record in the crack of his arse.

I like Shrine but it's not a pretty site, unless he has taken heed of the rumours that acid on your hands from the sweat can damage the plastic and he is taking extra precautions??

Ahhh, thank you, well that clears that up then . For some reason I'm not eating my sandwiches don't look as appealing as they did 5 minutes ago.

Yep gotta agree Joan, it's almost an oldie

Great record too. If I remember rightly last one I saw sold or up for sale was £1200 or thereabouts.

And there was me wondering if the OP was enquiring as to which mix the one in the scan may be, considering it was indeed pressed twice on Shrine featuring, yes, two different mixes.

Honestly Chalky, there's been a few on ebay that have had very little interest. I paid a fortune for mine like. that's why I noticed.....

$1,025.00 with 7 hours to go. Anybody Care to guess the finishing price? There's a prize for the winner.

At the crack of 2.30 should be ok, unless I cancel the skip and make some shelves.

brilliant i always thought this, cos my copy sounds a lot different to one i had a compilation cd, i always thought it had just been cleaned up for the cd, the one ive got seems maybe a little faster and the backing is alot fuller (noisier), absolutely nothing to do with it being in my crack.

have the two different pressings have different labels?

ive lost that avatar now , ill do another one tonight.

sold a copy a few years ago for £60, wasn't the best copy in the world but aren't most
