OK well I can tell everyone and be 100% sure that the original demo does not have an A on it. If I could remember who I'd sold it to I'd get them to photo it. None of the London demos have an A on the label before 1963 or thereabouts, if the A is real, and you reckon it is, it must have been a repromoted record

I have a feeling there is an in depth discussion about this on a topic about 18 months old. I still need the backing track only if anyone has a recording they could let me have

I get a spare every now and then - it's on UK Big Shot. Cost you 30-40 quid off ebay, there's one on every couple of weeks.

Never heard of it before ... maybe I should play it!

Yesterday I discovered that a well known cheapie, Kent Meade, was now £50 upwards, same happened with that 2 bob rubbish Stanky 2 years back, suddenly became in demand...anyway, anything I'm not sure about, I stick them on ebay and start them off at £5. There's one of these £5 records that is currently up at £71 and I honestly have no idea why. Can anyone enlighten me? scan below

It was released on a legit repress on pink Breakthrough by the labels owner. It's slightly different in that (people say) there is a new vocal over the old backing track, but if thats true, this version is actually better (and longer) than the original. Then again, depending on what LP you are listening to it off, you could be listening to the second version anyway. I used to sell the pink one for 10 quid then people began getting 50, 60 and more for it on ebay so now I sell it for 30. The original is like 2 or 3 copies only and is 5 grand.

Would you consider doing a pack of just 60's UK?

If the process broke down then surely the auction should be run again?

I don't think it did - it went for £8 too much

I'm sure this guy attempted to sell the same record for the same price about 2 years back, I posted it up on here and I also sent him and email saying it was worth $30

LIke Dave says - it's down to the amount of punters mainly. Ten years ago when the returnees outnumbered the stayers, you could have put a do on every night of the week. Now, about two thirds of the returnees have disappeared again therefore the numbers of people going out have dropped drsatically. Plus the fact that circumstances change - I've had two children in the last 4 years, something I was never expecting to happen, so thats why I stopped going out. And of course, theres the music policies...

Not had chance, soz

THis is a UK London demo of Green Onions but I've had that record myself and I swear there was no A on the label, obviously it's a real demo but has someone letrosetted that A on do you think? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Booker-T-the-MGs-Gre...bayphotohosting

Christ, you ask a simple question.

What are you talking about, are you embarrassed at your own price or something? I'll be putting a sales list out tomorrow, should you care to ask any questions about the items that I am selling I will be happy to answer them IN PUBLIC.

Yeah you do that then, I was asking a simple and innocent question, all you had to say was "6 months ago".

I'm astonished to see this sale, when did this go up? (in price I mean)

I don't think anyone would dispute that - it is brilliant and there's even a nice 'clapping' part on the intro

I did this yesterday - apparently the Big Shot 45 I listed yesterday is worth £80 more than I listed it for, couldn't go back once I'd agreed to sell it though.

If it says 17 Rennison Drive then it would have been mine. What are the chances of that???

Theres nothing wrong with the reproduction of Betty Boo on Grapevine Kev, nothing at all. Just played it.

None really worth anything but Stax Northern Disco sounds is notable for only having 2 northern tracks on it isn't it Ian p.s. I thought I was the only soulie left in Wombourne
