Guest KEN-SOUL Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 It has crossed my mind several times, as to just which re-released track or tracks are the hardest to find, and most expensive. I have many of the old classics bought in the late 70's, so have a kind of interest. or are they all worth pennies?

Are we talking boots here or the legal (ish) re-issues on Uk labels from 70's & 80's? If boots, they have for me, no value at all. Edited April 3, 2009 by John Al 1

He's on about boots, reissues, pressings - USA ones. They make up most of my collection, sell the originals, keep the pressings. Very precious to me. Except the UK's, obviously.

Raresoul45s Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I saw a Yum Yums boot go through ebay at nearly £200 a month or two back. Any one else see it, think it was sold by A45Heaven so it wouldn't have been a bargain original. Best Darren www.raresoul45s.co.uk

Also, as an aside, isnt The Royal Vibes- "the wigan joker" not a collectors item? being the only record (that i know of) bearing the name "wigan" in its title?

Maurice Williams got pressed twice, one was a counterfeit green label but with silver lettering instead of gold, second was a maroon label that looks nothing like the original. £10-£15 each. 1

Chalky Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 The multi-coloured oot of Sam Fletcher and Eddie Foster (?) must be the rarest. Bobby Bennett - Alone With My Tears boot must be pretty rare too, forget the label

Didn't even know about it til it was showed to me, had an original with me and we compared them. What does this other pressing of it look like then compared to the original please? Didn't know about it either. Thought the boots were black and white and the originals were nashville stamped on vinyl with the red/white/blue label, with or without Mike Terry credit. Cheers Richard

Cheers Richard Think the original has a Nashville Matrix stamp (sold it now so can't check), the colour boot has a wider label and no stamp.
