Sold my collection and it went with it,,,,,not sure if dave thorley got it off me!!!!!! snooky Has to be said that it is rare, and still highly sought after, hence the price, I've kept my VG one and I wouldn't sell it, not even for £500, because I couldn't replace it.
Guest I KNOW NOTHING Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 There's an interesting story behind this one. Back in 1991 I was running a magazine called Beatin Rhythm and was also at the peak of my UK label collecting phase, and I was contacted by this chap John Ritson who was the original lead singer of Chapter Five. He was after a copy of One In A Million, which I had, but didn't want to part with really. Anyway he sent me lots of great cuttings and we had a good chat and one of the things he told me was that the band's manager, the apparently aptly named Mervyn Conn, had asked him to leave the band and go solo and call himself John St. John. This suggestion didn't go down too well and the band stayed together for a while longer and then split. Anyway a couple of years ago, to my and several other peoples astonishment, a German copy of You Can't Mean It backed with One In A Million was turned up, complete with picture sleeve and credited to John St. John! At the weekend I was browsing Ebay and lo and behold, there's another copy of John St. John but this time on an Italian label called GTA records. It was described as VG- with a small edge crack but I thought I'd go for it anyway. So I won it at £118 (I bid £350) and I've now got it and not only does it play near mint with no sound from the crack, the sound quality is unbelievable, it's better than the UK CBS copy (which I also have). Note that they've mixed the composers up too. The point of all this is - I've had hundreds and hundreds of rare records over the years, going up to £2500 on one thing I sold, but I rate this particular record as being up amongst the rarest of them all. How many copies are known? Can't be that many. And I know it's a love or hate record but I absolutely love it! BARRY ST. JOHN - EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO BARRY ST. JOHN - EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO TEARS - COLUMBIA DEMO - £150 - COLUMBIA DEMO - £150
