Anyone got an accurate price please? Got this today. It will be for sale.

Because it's been done to death since 1974...

It's a proper demo and I'm not sure why anyone is questioning it

Yes those are just the first series before it changed to a four figure numbering system in 1966, some of those are seriously rare

Just a quick bump for this as I'm intending to do something with it by the end of the week

More originals...please read the descriptions, thanks. PM if interested. RUBY SHERRY - FEMININE INGENUITY / PLEASE DON'T GO - TAKE 6 INC EX £450 Note it is the one with Please Don't Go on the B side not Deceived. Hairlines on the vinyl but it plays more or less mint both sides. Incredible double sider. Some radio station writing on B side label. ANNA KING - THE BIG CHANGE - LUDIX EX+ £80 MARLENE & THE DEBANETTES - BAD LOVE - SUNBURST EX £75 THE STAR TREKS - GONNA NEED MAGIC - VEEP DEMO EX £125 **SOLD** Now to my ears that has a tiny bit of distortion in the background near the start, I guess most people wouldn't even mention it but this is the reason I'm listing it at £125 and not £175. You can hear the actual recording on last Friday nights mixcast (Double Deckers one, link to it further down this page) BEE GEE STANS OF DETROIT - FRONT PAGE LOVE - TAL VERT M- £125 LINDA JONES & THE WHATNAUTS - I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU - TURBO EX £50 EARL GRANT - HIDE NOR HAIR - DECCA EX £80 **SOLD** post is £7.50 registered

Those are 100% legit and really hard to get hold of as well.

Some nice originals for sale – first come first served – please PM if interested.. n.b. Just to explain my EX- grade – this is when the record is actually EX and plays as such (or better) but has maybe light marks not affecting play. p.s. I've got dentists at half 12 so I'll answer all queries in the order they came in when I get back Irma Thomas – What Are You Trying To Do – Imperial EX £60 Etta James – Seven Day Fool – Argo EX £40 **SOLD** Gerald Sims – Cool Breeze – Okeh Demo EX- £40 Etta James & Sugar Pie De Santo – Down In The Basement – Cadet M- £40 Amanda Love – You Keep Calling Her By My Name – Starville EX £50 Barbra Carr – Shake Your Head – Chess M- £60 Lou Rawls – The House Next Door – Capitol M- £75 Mill Evans – I’ve Got To Have Your Love – Constellation (stars design) M- £50 The Volumes – You Got It Baby – Inferno M- £40 **SOLD** Z.

That looks like someone's stuck photocopy labels on it!

Here’s an extra mix for this week, I did mention I had quite a lot of new records and on Friday I was only really playing rarer stuff, so I just fancied doing a compilation of maybe lesser known and obscure and affordable records.

I would be looking for £1200 worth of trades at normal valuations not auction prices. I don't mind if it's a couple of records or a dozen as long as they are good originals and I can sell them. Condition: if I was being super safe I would say VG++ but in reality it is EX and plays MINT. I only go down to VG++ because it has a few hairline marks on it. The other side just slightly lesser. So if interested, sort some stuff out and message, email or phone me. I won't jump at the first offer though I'll wait a week. I'm not desperate to get rid of this but it's just sat there doing nothing!

There's two of those but neither is IL, first one was out a good 2 years before with same track both sides then another appeared with the proper B side.

Is this anything? Sort of crossover type sound. Presumably this is Dave Hamilton's label as he wrote and produced it. Not my cup of tea really...

Anyone else like the Billy Vera version - I think it's great

The boot demo has a really pronounced ridge and dip

That was a £15 record at the time so it made sense to boot it, they came out end of 76

Earlier Steve, 1975

Those are nothing to do with the ones above they are from the same people who actually copied the Magnetics, Sam Williams and Billy Woods from the original lot - bootlegs of bootlegs

Theres a pale blue issue bootleg as well, the bootleg demo is vinyl, the original is styrene

No thats the boot

And of course there's not many people going to be making offers on the records on the list because most can be found elsewhere quite easily, cheaply.
