Simon T Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 After looking at someones 70's / modern, whatever you want to call them, "wants", I was just thinking what are the rarest of the rare non-60's sounds? Is there a Frank Wilson "Holy Grail" type equivalent?

Steve G Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Got the Sy Hightower 7" on Carmen a few months back link The album is only a test pressing, and was not commercially released. Rarer than Frank Wilson too.

Stevecee Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Yeah, I'd say this was one of the Rarest, considering it's been around since 1980 you'd think some might have turned up by now Cheers Steve

Sunnysoul Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 As good a candidate as any for rarest of the rare 70's/Modern would be the Gloria Scott 7" on Australian Casablanca; general consensus is that there were only a handful at most issued for promotional purposes when the Astor company in Australia gained the rights to the US Casablanca label...

Guest Awake 502 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) Is that including the copies in Japan and elsewhere? link As far as I know it is, but who really can say with authority ? All I know of are the ones that John Anderson had. I certainly remember Searling and either Sam or Arthur Fenn having one . I believe my copy was one of those that was traded back in as I picked it up on a trip to the King's Lynn emporium all those years ago. Edited February 11, 2005 by Awake 502
Guest Johnny One Trout Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Hows about Al Alonzo Wilson - love you girl - Nashville and Tab Walton - Love me - Oriole or Mark IV - If you can't tell me - Bright Lite or Kebs Mellow Madness thing on Mega or Wee - Try Me - Owl or Bobby Wilburn - I'm a dreamer - Gamble (Harder than the Chant issues Steve G?)

Psychodelic Frankie - still a big want of mine Natural Impulse C. Coulter Fluorescent Smogg Joseph Webster Tolbert Tavasco - not in the same price league as above buy bloody hell try and find one! Four Dynamics & Tommy Tate - I know these have already been mentioned, but I don't think they're as rare as the other stuff mentioned. I spoke to Christian B. about Four Dynam's and he thought £2500, I thought nearer £1200, unless someone cares to put me straight... ..brilliant record though! ....and the Tommy Tate, don;t think this is that rare, know about 4 people who have them, but still easily £500's worth.

Shame I was skint, otherwise I'd have had that. That 'Save The Youth' is one of the best tracks I never hear out. Just none about. How big would that be if there was a few more about??? I know it's not in the same league as any of the above, but how many of these are about???? I know Mick Smith & Andy Dyson have got one. Ta Jamie Edited February 11, 2005 by Jamie
