Good price, killer record

Just out of curiosity, whats the current book price on Lucille Mathis ?

Not sure if there is a book price but I think I sold my near minter for £150 a few months back and had a queue for it - great tune that probably has more exposure on the funk 'scene' at the mo.

Hi Guys

So what do we think, I thought it would go for more $1,125

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=370119348717

My pal sold his minter last month for £1750, that one on ebay works out at about £760...or if you're paying with paypal as bit more cos they're robbers. Still the ebay copy was a vg and a cracked copy sold for nearly £450 earlier too so it's probably about right with the time of year and everyone being skint.

Strange, bought a record for about a fiver from him last year (may have been earlier this year) and it never showed...something about the entire batch going missing - couldn't really be bothered to wrangle over a fiver seeing as it was a fiver and if the post lost it, it wasn't his fault, but reading this thread has got me thinking...

In the spirit of bonkers prices this surprised me! £25 tops that one. Sometimes it seems the idiots all hit each other with their wallets and whoever's got the most left after 7 days, wins.

Sorry mate, wanted it on 7" really.. If I don't manage to get hold of one I'll come back to you though - hope that's all good.

Brad.

My mate's still got his, maybe a bit high for the condition so I'll see if he wants to do a deal

Don't know the Santiago - what's it like?

Steve.

One side's a semi-comedy funk instro (Land of The Leaping No-No - clue's in the title), the other's a decent uptempo, slightly latinesque funky soul dancer thing, unfortunately ruined by a rock guitar solo about 2/3rds the way through. Somehow the record appeared in the background of a 70's porn film, along with the band, though they thankfully kept their clothes on...

...on Hi just made nearly 300 USD on ebay.

is just another case of ebay madness? Seeing who won it, I would assume he usually knows the going price for records.

I think it's a great record and maybe not too well known, but $290..isn't that a bit much?!

And now: which one is rarer: issue or white demo?

I picked up the demo a few weeks back for £20. Maybe this auction price is a case of good marketing (comparing it to other well known, well established faves and suggesting it could be the next big thing for that kind of sound) as well as a relatively 'unknown' tune that might be tricky to locate, with the 'must have it now' factor thrown in for good measure. Was shocked to see the first one go at $230 odd and thought maybe when the next copy came up it'd fall back...seems like it's gone the other way. Look at what happened to Rising Sun: for ages it was an £80ish funk record that never really took off and was quite hard to sell, suddenly someone picks up on it and it goes truly mental.

Smells like a nice proper acetate, doesn't it?

You can always go to his profile and look at when he was last online - chances are if he's been online recently he'll know he's got a PM

Just curious, I also have a coloured DJ copy as pictured above which I would have picked up not long after the 'black and white" ones turned up.

Are there any 'regular' issues of the coloured ones?

For the life of me I can't remember if I've seen any or not

My multi-coloured one's an issue copy

£1500 or over, then

Don't know who he is but that "Unknown Acetate Press Modern Soul" thing doesn't look right at $299! Thought the real one was a Bell Sound Acetate, not what looks like something that was made recently...

Wouldn't say it was typical of the 'rare groove' type sound...hard to categorise really, just a ploddy 70's soul effort. The flip's an almost there fast disco thing called Disco Teaser, probably the better of the two sides. Can't get the refosoul working right now to load a clip

I saw a copy of this 45 go for over $500 on ebay. May be I should stick mine up on ebay, unless anyone here wants to buy it (for a lot less).

Jordi

That's what I mean...a brief hike then they started to appear so it dropped back to about £80...in some cases as has been noted, it limped home at £50.

Think apparent 'rarity' made it sound better than it is

I'd like to add that I agree there's a need for more DJs to be imaginative, innovative and progressive in what they play.

Too many DJs play just a little bit too safe at times.

Paul

Sure it's been said before but that has to go hand in hand with a crowd there solely to dance to good music, some of which they may not know, not demand to hear a pre-determined setlist that reflects their own particular knowledge however limited or broad in range that may be. The punters surely have to be as imaginative and progressive in attitude as the DJ of the same, otherwise you've got someone standing behind the decks playing at a big, empty floor ringed with a sea of grumpy punters wishing they were elsewhere, and then called crap because they didn't play safe to guarantee a full floor. Probably depends what the night's all about really, but if it is the fabled 'sommat different' night the punters have as much responsibility in being open to new things as the DJ, as long as it's not utter crud. No-brainer really, isn't it?

Value please for THE J'S WHEN DID YOU STOP DANTE M-

After a brief hike the price for a few ebay copies settled at about £80ish for the '45...seen 12's go for around £30

I thought this was the Blenders ..........the sound clip doesn't seem to be working

It is...same group, same record, the Graytom issue came out a couple of years after the Grayslak issue...something to do with Mr Grady wanting to cash in

250 euros in VG, that makes 400 in mint - I was told 50 quid elsewhere!

Can only see a copy at 50 euros (?)
