Sorted now, thanks

Beautiful record can't understand why it doesn't get played out more often? Out of interest what sort of quantity are we talking with Lew Stanley? Cheers! JM

Heres the listing off Popsike: "SoulKillerHarmBall LITTLE MELVIN & BOLEROS 1st MINT!!! End price: USD 307 End date: 2007-04-06 Start price: USD 100 Number of bids: 4 Little Melvin And The Boleros on Valerie #4397 "I'm In Love (Yes I Am)/Jealous Lover". Condition is MINT, the purple (1st color, 1st press) labels are Clean..................Postage is $3.25 in North America and $6.75 everywhere else. PLEASE NO PAYPAL. Thank You and Good Luck." ps. not sure what a 'harmball' is either??

can anyone help?

Kirsty: /Records...VII#entry709812 It was Greg Tormo....£500 for a VG+ copy was the starting bid! Went for £1200 as you say.... Love the beautiful slow breakdowns in it..... The other one on blue Windmill is quite good.....

I was just looking at what 'Jealous Lover' has gone for on Popsike and noticed that one listing has the record on purple Valerie and mentions that this is the first press, the second being blue. Is this correct and the blue is actually a second pressing (how much later?) or are there just two different label colors that appeared at the same time? Would there be a price difference between them? Any help much appreciated! Cheers, JM

Hi Does anyone have a copy of this for sale please? VG+ upward is fine... Many thanks! JM

I thought a seller had one at £600 on that list he put up here for sale in Prestatyn?? Also had a Young Ladies and a beaten up Fascinators on the list..... Fantastic crossover record!

yet it cleared the floor last spring Whenever I've heard it out I've chucked myself about like a man possessed.

What a fantastic-ly mega brilliant 70's record. Its got the lot! Hope this goes the way of Lil Major Williams and gets lots of action..... First heard this a few years back at Soul Essence......not sure who played it.... Good luck would love a copy of this.....

So what do we think dealers will be wanting for this 45 set sale now? Or has it been elevated to a definite auction piece? ps. A similar Lee Fields situation happened with The Sherrell Bros recently on Pat's auction but on a smaller scale....

I don't think the price of it high or low should determine whether its a good record....its clearly a great record regardless.

I'd still like a copy of this record as someone who has wanted to get this for years and always missed the boat. Should of put more effort in. I think its a fabulous record as it happens and (aside from the ridiculous price its now gone for) am very glad its got/is getting the action in the clubs it has. Many far worse records held in higher regard imho. To buy it to DJ with is a different thing altogether. Some of us non-DJs just like to have these things to squirrel away at home....another one to pop on the 'forget it list'. I do think its also a terrible shame that this crackers price its attained has seemingly marred its cool as a record at least on this thread.....if you listen to it its undeniably a Hale & Pace Stonker of a record. On another point quickly....is it not the case for a lot of people that their only or maybe main exposure to hearing new sounds is through DJs, as not everyone can afford to randomly buy blind or have the option of getting to sift through piles of obscure soul 45s....I would of thought wanting a record because you've heard it out and love it isn't being a c*nt....its more agreeing on it's brilliance. I'm talking from a non-jocking position of course.

QUOTE (mulf @ Jun 19 08, 09:04 AM) Have to say on listening to it again now thats its expensive it does sound a lot better. I think its value has definitely improved it as a piece of soul music. You are serious ? No! :unsure:

ps. Going by the 12" price for the Return To Spanish Harlem, what would be the current value on a tidy 7" copy on Speed? The flip of it, Already Satisfied is a brilliant latin dancer as well....

Such a shame about Lee Fields...wanted this for ages and just kept missing them at £40 or £50 quid although I have to say they weren't exactly piling out of the woodwork for me....but now....

Yann Vatiste has one for sale at £150....can be contacted through here....

Awesome Detroit rhythm & soul.....is it a fairly recent discovery or has rarity just kept it from being heard?

Does anyone know if this excellent crossover version is available as a 45? Cheers! JM

Liggins on ebay all the time....could easily get that £250 or under but its the same old same old I suppose.....

Does anyone have a soundclip of this they could post please? Many thanks, JM

Very rare indeed. Even harder as Ray & The Blue Cats with the other good Ray on ARV record as the flip 'The Blame Is On You'...... Anyone ever seen one?

None went for it then...no bids on the issue at $75......

I think the listing said to check the label but the pic was too small!!
