Pete S Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I'd like to know how come all these records are expensive until I come to sell them then they make f*ck all on ebay? Anyone paying more than £30 for a Grapevine record needs their head testing.

Don't understand your argument. Grapevine records were tailor made for the northern scene and pressed in very large quantities. Rare Stateside record like Hoagy Lands slipped through unnoticed. I'm not talking about it being somehow unauthentic to have Grapevine records, I'm saying that they really are not worth much money.

They are defiantly not worth that sort of money [ especially in these troubled times ]
kevinsoulman Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 bought most of them in the 70s but needed about six to complete the set of which NABAY was the last and most expensive @ about £20. UNLESS anybody has a ronnie and robyn which was scheduled for release but ive never seen or heard of one grp137.might try and do it again now just for the heck of it. kev
Prophonics 2029 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) UK issues 35 45p when they came out and cut from records not master tapes are they worth anyting other than nostalgia. Just checked mine selection from the collection and I can't compare the sound to the originals never kept multiple copies of Grapevine or the original. Edited July 3, 2008 by Prophonics 2029
Guest soulmaguk Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Just been trying to find a copy of Record Collector dated from the late 90s. They listed the price tag next each GRP release then, think they were talking three figures for many of them. I always thought the Tomangoes GRP 122 was the rarest for years! till Manships UK guide came out.

It's reprinted in various places on the net and still up on my website here https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?page_id=10
Guest soulmaguk Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Still cant find my copy of rec collector, sorry if i am wrong Pete, but there were some pretty high prices on them. Could not even swap my GRP 119 Eddie Parker for a bag of dry roasted, in fact 'egay' is a pretty good way of finding out how much a record really is worth on today's market place in my opinion.

You're getting mixed up mate, there were no prices on them, and if there were, the highest would have been £15 for Lester Tipton. I wrote it in 1992. If there were any prices it would have been for the relevant US originals nnot the Grapevine singles. Like I said - I wrote the article for them.
Guest soulmaguk Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 no pete, late 90s. probably winstanley wrote this one.
