Guest Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Hi folks, anyone out there knows the going rate for the Royale VII "It's an explosion" on Wind Mill? tia, Cheers, Stefan have you got one to sell?
Guest stromberg Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 have you got one to sell? sorry, Kirsty, not for sale
Guest Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 sorry, Kirsty, not for sale I'll tell you then that the last few copies have sold for around £1200
Guest stromberg Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I'll tell you then that the last few copies have sold for around £1200 cheers, Kirsty
Souljazera Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 more realsitic would be 600 though! isnt this a white group?? i like the other side too
Trev Thomas Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 more realsitic would be 600 though! isnt this a white group?? i like the other side too tell ya what...you find a few copies for 600 & i'll take em off your hands
Souljazera Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 didnt a few turn up early on this year... a bit over rated but has a decent drum break in the middle.. made popular by monsiuer fenn
Guest stromberg Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 more realsitic would be 600 though! isnt this a white group?? i like the other side too this a record by a white group ?! doesn't sound like one to me, label credits are pretty unsuggestive on this matter, though..
boba Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 this a record by a white group ?! doesn't sound like one to me, label credits are pretty unsuggestive on this matter, though.. sounds definitely white to me, the group has two records on this label right? 1200 pounds seems over the top to me too, but I can't tell you what it changed hands for privately recently so I don't know all the details
Corbett80 Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) I thought a seller had one at £600 on that list he put up here for sale in Prestatyn?? Also had a Young Ladies and a beaten up Fascinators on the list..... Fantastic crossover record! Edited June 22, 2008 by mulf
Guest Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I thought a seller had one at £600 on that list he put up here for sale in Prestatyn?? Also had a Young Ladies and a beaten up Fascinators on the list..... Fantastic crossover record! it sold for lots more than that Joel - not sure who had it though. I got offered a VG one that played great for £400, or a mint one for £800 in January, but was skint... The mint one sold a few months later for quite a bit more than that to someone who isn't as lovely as me I really loved the record upon first hearing - its really messy - just like me! I hadn't heard it played out at all (I still hardly ever get out) before the lovely Dave Flemming put it on a Cd for me (with no track listing!) I had no idea what it was but just knew I needed it... Will have it one day once the fuss about it has died down
Trev Thomas Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 anyone got an mp3. pm me your address & i'll send you a cd, cant do mp3's
Guest Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 we had a copy back in 2005 and sold it for £1500 and never seen a copy since.
Corbett80 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Kirsty: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/Records...VII#entry709812 It was Greg Tormo....£500 for a VG+ copy was the starting bid! Went for £1200 as you say.... Love the beautiful slow breakdowns in it..... The other one on blue Windmill is quite good..... Edited June 23, 2008 by mulf
Guest stromberg Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 sounds definitely white to me, the group has two records on this label right? 1200 pounds seems over the top to me too, but I can't tell you what it changed hands for privately recently so I don't know all the details seeing a sales thread where there is a copy of the Essex IV on Wind Mill, just wondering if it is the same label?! Somehow the Royale VII still doesn't sound like a white group to me, obviously nobody knows on here?
Dave Fleming Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 it sold for lots more than that Joel - not sure who had it though.

Will have it one day once the fuss about it has died down Kirsty, Micheal told me not to write down the track listing`s,as it would take you longer to find out what they are,so not to spend his money too quick Dave f........

Pomonkey Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Passed on a mint copy of this at a record fair here couple of months ago, no one picked it up all day there, believe it went for about $1,300 in the end, wish the song lived up to the title but bit wimpy for my cloth ears, yes they're a white group, more evident on their other one on the label which picked up for all of $10 from a box marked as "garage", way more uptempo but wouldn't call it northern, good mod sound.
Trev Thomas Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Tony, none have turned up just the two Arthur was selling at Lifeline/Thorne. Funny when i played out it killed the floor,and before you say it what like most things i play Dave f........... i got one of the copies that arthur was selling
Dylan Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Could I have heard this at soul-essence 2008 ? sure a song with those lyrics were running round my head at one point.....
Steve G Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Could I have heard this at soul-essence 2008 ? sure a song with those lyrics were running round my head at one point..... in a word yes. I know I played it, possibly others/ Part 2 is wicked.
Dylan Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 in a word yes. I know I played it, possibly others/ Part 2 is wicked. thought it must have been this I was dancing too. sholuld give myself a pat on the back for being able to remember. I was a little worse for wear.
Trev Thomas Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Its currently super hyped. Realistically I would say £250 to £300. The other release 'Hand Out Love', is harder, but unknown. Do a search on here, the 'Explosion' 45 has been up for around £200 a couple of times not so long ago. Its a Jap record and there are copies over there. It'll settle down in due course. what do you mean ? "its a jap record"....the copy ive got here in my hand clearly states the label address as p.o. box 9191 hampton virginia, now unless im mistaken, i always thought virginia was part of the u.s.a.

Trev Thomas Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 an old japanese collectors record. well, if theres copies in japanese collections, then it will remain a hard record to get, them japs dont let anything go
Guest stromberg Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Its currently super hyped. Realistically I would say £250 to £300. The other release 'Hand Out Love', is harder, but unknown. Do a search on here, the 'Explosion' 45 has been up for around £200 a couple of times not so long ago. Its a Jap record and there are copies over there. It'll settle down in due course. hm, but given the fact, that there is nearly no info on the net on this record, no popsike listing, JM sold his last copy three years ago, so obviously it's not around in quantity and it appeals to quite a few people, 300 sounds very low..
Guest stromberg Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Strom, you're probably right its worth at least £1,200. that's not what i mean, but it seems rare and good records automatically fetch 500+, so i can't see why this one should be less.. But you're probably right, as I have a copy, I WANT it to be very expensive
Souljazera Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Tony, none have turned up just the two Arthur was selling at Lifeline/Thorne. Funny when i played it out it killed the floor,and before you say it what like most things i play Dave f........... ahead of the pack dave! ...pre hot box selector now that would be a good topic.. yes arthur did have two...i did see another two for sale a few years ago that didnt end up on manship..or with arthur.. tony
Souljazera Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 well, if theres copies in japanese collections, then it will remain a hard record to get, them japs dont let anything go they do if u have something to tempt them with
Russ Vickers Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Hi guy's just wanted to add some info on the Royal V11 disc that a good friend from VA has passed on, the Royal V11 were actually the 'Sheepherders' but minus Bubba Bailey......also I beleive that a reissue is about to surface soon possibly, so yes a white band, as although the line up was very transcient I think Bubba Bailey was the only black member (Its his vocal on the Sheepherders 45). Hope this info is some help to someone. ATB Russ

Russ Vickers Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Sheepherders ffs? You couldn't make it up. Do you know the Sheepherders 45 Steve ???.........pretty good in its own right & another v rare disc too. Russ
Guest marco Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 If you listen to the Royal VII disc in the cold light of day there's no mistaking that it's a white band. Put me right off it if I'm honest. Not because their white - they just can't actually sing very well. Definitely one of those records that sounds better with the benefit of gear goggles. Not to put a dampner on things or anything.... ... where's my prozac?!
Souljazera Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 price drop imminent .... mind u its better than the tripe sisters on beer goggles
boba Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 price drop imminent .... mind u its better than the tripe sisters on beer goggles is the drop imminent because copies have surfaced or just because it's overhyped and overvalued?
Souljazera Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 i would think all three imo..could also be "hot box or auction fever"..a most contagious disease with no as yet known cure to mankind
Trev Thomas Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 is the drop imminent because copies have surfaced or just because it's overhyped and overvalued? from what i can see, there hav'nt been that many copies surface, arthur had two & greg tormo had one, hardly a major haul, this thread seems to be going the same way as the billy woods discussion a few months ago, in which, if you believed everyone who posted up about a mates, brothers, uncles cousin twice removed who left a hundred count box behind in a detroit thrift shop in the 70's, then billy woods is a very common record, when people like john manship say theyve only ever had one copy of a record in thirty years, then, that tells me that said record must be pretty rare, ...........but of course i could be wrong, who knows whats lurking in my grandads shed, he was after all a japanese p.o.w., maybe he fetched a 1,000 count box back with him,
Guest sigher the gutter snype Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 make that another copy got mine around 4 years ago as a blind buy for £2.50 of a u.k dealer to be honest its ok but one more for the funky boys, and thought the bit in the middle with the drums was a little messy. did try tracking the group a few years back and had a number but that was defunct. definately a white group got rid of it in a 3 way trade for purple mundi "stop hurting me baby" now there is a tune !! did have another track on the windmill lable midnight sunrise "promised land" windmill 101 was a poppy psych thing
Corbett80 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I'm really surprised at people's thoughts on this record....thought it was quite highly regarded....great record imho....the slow bit makes it for me....
Souljazera Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 break good and general rhythm of the track ...vocal not so imo....edit required
Steve G Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 break good and general rhythm of the track ...vocal not so imo....edit required Part 2 is excellent.
Corbett80 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 'break good and general rhythm of the track ...vocal not so imo....edit required' I'd agree not the greatest vocal but i've heard FAR worse! Love Ray & The Blue Satins too but the vocal is frankly, rubbish, yet the record works......very much so. Also, any Sugar & Sweet record.....she can't sing full stop.
Jordirip Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I'm really surprised at people's thoughts on this record....thought it was quite highly regarded....great record imho....the slow bit makes it for me.... I love it too Mulf, love the slower verses with the strings, and as a mate of mine says it really gets the blood pumping. A totally exciting tune to hear played out. As for the vocals, well I've heard a lot worse than this. Jordi
Guest marco Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Is it just me or do they sound like Brian Poole and the Tremelos?
Albert Petit Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Hi folks, anyone out there knows the going rate for the Royale VII "It's an explosion" on Wind Mill? tia, Cheers, Stefan The next 11th october this record will played with Mr Fenn at It´s gonna be a BIG THING III , More info in: www.fotolog.com/vnsclub_english
