I think compared to his 60’s stuff thiis will struggle in comparison,also because of his unique voice his vocal is overdone on this 45,its a bit to bar music for me! Compared to “room for me” “hang on” and “so full of love” i cant see it will have any appeal to anyone other than jesse collectors! I suppose all his 45’s are rare! I had “so full of love” on “jaboth” which is shockingly rare,and a decent enough tune,but it was a hard sell when i got rid of it!

Traditions my life with you on barclay!

Didnt we say some years back that your typical working class soul collecor would get pushed out of the picture? Im certainly not blaming anyone with money whom can afford a 45 at any price,but i fear there is a bigger price to pay in the end...thoughts? For me personally the money isnt the biggest downer,its the easy constant accessibility to records is getting boring! Too much of a good thing i guess! ps how many song titles did i mention

Haha..danny moore-somebody new valued the same as don gardner cheating kind and jd bryant wont be coming back all at 1500 quid!

Just read through the comments,i would say that the first 1k record was magnetics lady in green,i recall dave evison radio show on signal,having a guest dj on (maybe butch)? And saying it was the first record to sell for a grand and the 45 looked like a bad day at sea!

The willie kendrick price is for the unreleased acetate isnt it?

Nearly 3k for pyramid! Jesus wept!

Not sure the tatty bit has anything to do with it considering that arthur Willis ends tonight and thats on 6.8k and that sounds quite rough! ?

The seller appears to sell dvds,so he has fell lucky on this 45,probably paid next to nothing for it! i would imagine a collector/dj will put him right on a true figure and get the record! personally to my ears it sounds like a boring stax bside,not something i would break my neck trying to obtain! alsofurther down the page there is a bill cosby little ole man for £2.5k and tc lee and bricklayers for £2.5k so that's 3 jokers selling at ridiculous prices !

thats right chalky! And the knock on affect is down the pecking order when us poor saps end up paying 3 times what it was going for the week before! Cos a lot of the time the auction price dictates the set sale too! I dont blame any seller for this,but we see it all the time “sold on jms auction £1000” “i will take £800” whereas the week before you may have been happy with £400!

Yeah i know mate

I think the lunatics are running the asylum mate Id want the red one for that!

Well as we know nothing lasts forever,so my thought we be that if your a collector/dj and enjoy buying the records whatever the cost and your happy to take them to the grave then thats what you should do regardless of thoughts of longevity of value or the scene,however if youve been busting large amounts of money over the years trying to keep up with demand and prices but its affecting your everyday life,or your worried to death your gonna see your collection become worthless in a monetary sense,then get selling now! Before the market is flogged with not enough people to buy them!

Week after week the prices on some 45’s are just simply crazy! No sense at all! But i do wonder if say...the bottom and company price looks and is a lot to us in the uk but to say someone in japan its peanuts?

Also are the B sides exactly the same? Cos I’m sure by the quality of the song they had equally as much faith in that song too! im very well baz,hope you are too mate!

Very detailed info baz,I know your good at spotting the tiny differences in records! I would propose it’s simply a faster recording,simply because I’ve recorded in recording studios many times in bands,and based on the fact we’re talking the 60’s analogue,to record the song again would not produce the same sound no matter how hard you try,the individual musicians wouldn’t even care about being exact in phrasing etc...this is before you get to the mixing,the mixing involves adding reverb etc to every individual instrument inc each part of the drum kit! In fact the easiest thing to do as a band would simply to play faster or slower! In which case you may aswell just speed up the original master tape and or chop out out what you don’t want! Plus the sax break on the rouser has definitely been chopped manually cos it sounds a bit rough to be honest! To my ears the the songs sound exact in the phrasing of the band and the singers!

Yeah I wasn’t after it,I’ve had this in the past,I just don’t recall the “tell me” side grabbing me in any way! But tastes have changed over the years

Forgive me,but is this the saleable side? I’d have thought it’s the to the bitter end is the attractive side? Going on YouTube now to hear this side!

I thought as much Chris,I’m sure it was Andy Rix who told me that Herman Lewis is Herman Griffin,but I didn’t know his middle name was Lewis...good shout pal!

You know what mate,I’ve just remembered years back on eBay there was an lp still shrink wrapped and the seller saying the lp DIDNT feel like it had a 45 inside it! Now this is food for thought,where could the rumour have started I wonder? and again it doesn’t make sense to have the 45 in with the lp when the lp has the track on it anyway!

On tim browns auction he had the Mercury copy,and he noted that Herman lewis WASNT Herman Griffin? I thought he was? ive had the stone blue issue in the past,seen a few issues and a few white demos too,but the Mercury issue rarely surfaces! either way a gem of a record!

A few questions regarding this lp was the single made way before the lp,and as an after thought,they decided to put it in with the lp cos they had boxes of unsold 45’s? is the 45 really gonna be rare,cos surely to warrant producing and lp there would have been 1000’s pressed up? why put “not me baby” on the lp(which I never knew was on the lp aswell) and put a single in of the same song? Looks like overkill? lee

When I sell a record,I have one grade: ”it is what it is”

Can’t remember the year,but me and my mate thumbing a ride from Macclesfield to keele all-nighter on which Dave Edison was doing it live on signal radio,and me and my mate got a mention for hitchhiking our way there!
