Agent45

Dredging up this Oooooold thread. What's the deal with the John Minns 45? I just bought one blind, so I know it's 1974 Philly, no idea what it sounds like yet.

yeah, it's definitely one that leans towards the funkier side. Good drums but not really one for the dance floor.

Just a hunch, I would say somewhere around $30 to $40.

OK. I know that a dealer near my certainly had multiples, but I don't know how many - at least three though.

Still a no on that other RSJ 45 I'm afraid, Russ. Obviously still looking though....

Excellent question, Russ. I've only ever seen two and they both had red eyes. I would guess that Andy Dyson may have an opinion on this as well.

There is no bootleg that I'm aware of. The reissue was done legitimately by The Rabbit Factory, whose name is on the label. So all you need to do is read the label on the 45. Original Reissue

wow. how many of these have surfaced over the past few months, and I'm guessing all from the same source?

Anyone need a clean copy of this 45? I don't have it in my hands yet, but am meeting up with someone this weekend who has this among other things I'm interested in. I ask now rather than after it's in hand if anyone needs a copy since I know the guy isn't going to let it go so cheap that I can afford to hang onto it for a while. What will probably happen if I don't get it is the guy will shift it to another friend of his who will just throw it up on ebay. Obviously, I can't guarantee the condition just yet, but it's probably going to be a strong VG+ or better based on what I know now. Price will be somewhere in the range of $250. No payment wanted until I can give you full details. I'm just looking to find out if I can easily give this one a new home or pass on it when I meet the guy. PM if interested.

Burt, I never heard back from you after my PM. I have moved my copy of the Irma Thomas onto somebody else.

I don't know. The copy I sold last year (I think? Maybe 2007) fetched $150 and it is one that a lot of folks on the mod scene are after. The demand that could push it up that much more isn't artificial.

PM sent your way, Burt.

Lookin' to snag one of these. Cash waiting. Alex Spearman - Mama Ka Toka Laka Poo Poo Ya (Satin)

I have one of these. I have it set aside for my next sales list but I'll check the condition for you today and send you a PM with condition and price details.

IF you don't have this want sorted by Thursday night, let me know. I've got an extra and will be rolling back into town from New Orleans then. Send a trades list.

No need for a double A side of Miss Jackson's Daughter, but I could really use a clean copy with the flip side, please.

Obviously, I need to pay better attention to ebay. I have a VG to VG- copy of the Guyden press but would loved to have bid on a clean Chant copy. Oh well.

Matt, and anyone else who is curious. Here is the answer to this question: https://eepurl.com/KRZ

Do you mean "Second Hand Love" instead of Second to know? That's the easier of her two 45s on Maverick. Shouldn't set you back more than $25 or $30. A couple of Delia Gartrell related links: https://eepurl.com/KaQ https://eepurl.com/KaV
