Pete Morgan Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Not sure on the value , but i have picked a few good ones up in Australia ..one that stands out is ..shirelles - last minute miracle. great quality vinyl like Uk and Aussie vinyl. I have only found a few NZ related northern over the years, George ( sunny soul ) may be able to shed some more light on releases . Price wise who knows ? has to be up there with the aussie stuff . best pete m Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 2bucks? That's the most I've payed for Kiwi N.Z. pink press of Motown singles ... all have the Airplane sleeves .... Only have about 10 or so... but all have a nice loud press. My 2 cents. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Maria O Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 thanks pete.for info.have about a hundred.most of motown ones lovely pink labels.lol I used to give them away if anyone staying over fancied one, as they were $2 or less. However, certain more obscure NS releases command somewhat more now . Some years back, Frank Driscoll wrote some info for Flynny on Oz releases (which was an extension for the one he wrote for our Sydney hosted 2000 National Oz Weekender magazine - that you might remember Pete?) . [ READ it on Dave Flynn's website here ] m ps. to be honest, I thought I had next to no Oz releases, but have recently found about 20 or so amongst my bits... I'd assumed they were British Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kris Holmes Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) I have a whole shelf of NZ pressed soul 45s. As far as prices go, I don't know, people from places other than New Zealand tend to go a bit nuts for them, but I can't seem to sell them to locals because we pretty much have them all . It is pretty facemelting the sides that got released here though. 90% of the pink Motown stuff is not very rare, but the sides released by "less famous" groups such as the Vancouvers etc. are tougher to turn up. I see a lot of Fame & Vee Jay stuff on the local Allied & Top Rank labels, Chess family stuff came out on the local Viking & then their own Chess label. There's James Brown stuff on a really beautiful white & red King label, as well as a more traditional blue/silver version. All the Brunswick stuff on a white & purple Coral label. The local Atlantic label had a great run of releases. Really it goes on & on, New Zealanders seemed to buy more soul 45s than Australians back in the day. Pretty much anything that's a little left of your usual top 40 soul stuff should get prices similar to or maybe a bit more than the OZ presses. There are also some real nice NZ EPs & a few great soul 45s cut by local New Zealand artists too. Billy Karaitiana's version of "Cool Jerk" on Festival is pretty great. As for the ones you found - the Jackie Lee on Action & the Darrell Banks on Stateside are not easy finds. Some examples that I had saved on photobucket Edited November 22, 2008 by nz45s Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MOLLY Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I got a New Zealand Stateside copy of The Four Tops - Ask the lonely. Think I paid about £20 for it. Molly Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sunnysoul Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah I've had that too and I think I had a Jackie Lee on the same label, something like that anyway That's right Pete , Jackie Lee "Do The Temptation Walk" on NZ Action. However much tougher than either the Belles or Jackie Lee on NZ Action is the Olympics "Secret Agents". Incidentally the NZ Action label had no connection whatsoever with the UK Action label Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kris Holmes Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Practically anything on that small Action label will get you $$$, they just don't turn up, most of the titles are every bit as rare or even rarer than the SF TKO's on Ode. It's just that the TKO's 45 has a different flipside "Acid Lady" that went unissued in the US which makes it a more sought after release. The Jackie Lee is a consistent 70 pound 45 while the TKOs will run you considerably more than that. If you can find them. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
