All of that Polygram group (Atlantic, Philips, Fontana, Polydor etc etc) went over to large centres in 68 with less and less appearing with middles. Don't know why...

Sean this is gonna sound daft but I don't think people collect British to actually get the tune, there's more to it than that, why otherwise would we collect some of the rubbish we do? If I was desperate for let's say, "Determination" by Dean Parrish, I'd buy it for £30 or £40 on import, and not £100 on UK Stateside. I think people tend to look upon these as mini-works of art, I sometimes get my reggae records out and flick through them lovingly, I have no intentnion of playing them, I just like to look at them. Crazy but true. If people want the track, buy it cheap on US original because 9 times out of 10, it will cost more on British.

Just saying, my dream record of all time is "I Saw The Light" but it's not a soul record.

Just says "Dream record of all time", doesn't mention soul.

No it's not, but I'm pretty good at it, except when you come to do a demo, matching up one side is bad enough but both sides in night on impossible. Spokes in the wrong place usually.

You asked what the value was. Some idiot might pay £600 for it, I don't know, but I personally wouldn't. I wouldn't pay £150 for it without a middle.

Worst record photo ever seen on Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Big-Nine-9-Judge-Dread-Big-Shot-BI-626-45rpm-7-Vinyl-/261098261747?pt=UK_Records&hash=item3ccaab4cf3#ht_500wt_1414

I'd say £250

Many of these biogs make me laugh, this one says that Drive On James was released in England and climbed the charts, it didn't even come anywhere near the charts, I was reading a biog on a reggae singer the other day and it said his record was issued in the UK and made the top 10, it didn't even chart, I think they presume every record released in the Uk makes the chart!

Massive impact for no centre UK soul records, as the folk above say. Your Higher And Higher demo would come down from £75 to £25 and even then it might be difficult to get a buyer. As someone who collects UK, I wouldn't touch a pushed out centre record (as opposed to one manufactured without a centre) unless it was a) extremely cheap or b) one that will be unlikely to turn up again. As John says, if it's a ska or reggae record the centre makes little difference to the price. They are just too hard to find in any condition that turning one down because of a missing centre would be crazy.

Up for offers, will keep this running until Sunday 8pm unless I get an offer which I can't refuse.

It's not that hard on UK really and the US demo is common but the US issue really is scarce. Only ever bought it for "I'm Gonna" don't think I ever played the other side.

I know Wright Sounds was a 70's bootleg label that released Shawn Robinson, Pointer Sisters and Cindy Scott. But there was also a legit Wright Sounds label which released something, maybe Carol Kay?

Sold a lot of copies Dave!

Are you answering the question about original UK first issue demo? Easy £50. On Big T label.

IT might be overpriced but why should he give at away for $25 though?

How?

If it's a US vg+ I'd try offering something a bit more realistic like $50

I have this on ebay but can always pull it if anyone's seriously interested in it, there is a sound clip there https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110954399253?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649#ht_500wt_1180 THIS IS A 2 SIDED ACETATE OF A SINGER NAMED STEVE HAMMOND (LATER OF THE GROUP QUATERMASS I THINK) WHO APPEARS TO HAVE HAD TWO 45's ISSUED ON THE PYE LABEL IN 66/67, THIS COUPLING WOULD APPEAR TO BE A THIRD, UNISSUED SINGLE FEATURING THE TRACKS "I FEEL A GOOD THING COMING" AND "TAKE IT SLOW". "GOOD THING" IS A GOOD UPTEMPO MOD THUMPER WITH NORTHERN SOUL OVERTONES. "TAKE IT SLOW" IS A SLOWER NUMBER WITH SAX, FLUTE AND ORGAN. CONDITION, ESPECIALLY FOR AN ACETATE IS EXCELLENT AND BOTH SIDES PLAY ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY WITH NO CLICKS OR SCRATCHES AT ALL.
