Bo Diddley

Hi, Here's a scan of each side of a demo I've got

The matrix number is scratched in rather than machine stamped.

On the Quitter side it reads ZSP - 115907  1E

Hope that helps

All the best

@Soulman58

That Sam Dees performance in really understated and emotional. Thanks

@Geeselad

I like it. I watched a few of the duets on that TJ youtube channel with Wilson Pickett and Stevie Wonder. I just passed over that one!

@The Yank

@Davebanks

Thanks for the JB Videos. He had to feature.

Interesting to see him and Pavarotti on the same stage and compare the singing

@Majy

Perhaps I should have know, but I just didn't expect Sister R to pick up a guitar! Great stuff.

Also, I've watched the Penn and Oldham vid lots in the past but had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder (Dan with the dungarees!) 

Thanks everyone, these are fantastic.

You'd have to rely on pot luck to stumble across them. Imagine if it was a TV program with this compilation!

Keep 'em comin'

ahhh just seen the tag , for it to work you do need to make sure its like this...

@Bo Diddley

then it will notify the member etc etc

 

A bit of the lack of response here may be due to the title?

As it currently reads like it's a one off video post, maybe something like "Top Youtube Live Performances" as a start point may get things going?

 

Hi Mike,

Thanks for picking this up. I originally posted on Sunday with a very similar title to the one you suggested. But there was very little reaction. So, I changed it yesterday and added a new comment to raise the profile.

I'll change it back to see what happens. 

Cheers

That is brilliant! 

Also, what a contrast to Billy. Hopefully lots more suggestions to come.

Any other suggestions??

Once again Bo Diddley and Merve, Wessex Auctions commission if leaving a phone bid or bidding on the phone pr bidding live at the auction house, is only 17%  + VAT on this commission charge only, not on the final price of the item !!!, just to make it clearer on a £100.00 item you will pay around £120.00 at Wessex Auctions, while if bidding on the saleroom it will be nearer to £130.00.

And if bidding on The-Salesroom there is an addition charge.

Errrr......I think that's what I said!

Sorry if I'm being a bit dim here, but isn't it the same auction with online bids going through 'The Saleroom' web site or am I missing something ?.....Where should I bid for The Wessex auction rather than through The Salesroom? ....Just a bit confused

 

Hi Merve,

My understanding is that "The Saleroom" is a sort of virtual, online sale room and is how you would bid as if you were down in the actual sale room in Chippenham. It saves you the time and expense of attending the actual sale in person. However, there is an additional cost to the standard fees. The Standard fee is 20.4% (including VAT) but if bidding via the virtual "Saleroom" the cost goes up by another 5.94% (including VAT). That would make a total of 26.34%

Modboy was being helpful and saying you could instead just ring the auctioneers and say "I'm willing to go up-to £xxx on lot no. 123. That way you save yourself the additional cost  and pay 20.4%.

Again, thanks to Modboy for the tip. 

It sounds like the Wessex Auctions are charging BUYERS less than many others auction houses which is good. But this isn't like ebay or John Manship where if you win an item for £100, you pay £100. If you bid say £100 you'll end up actually paying £120.40 with the lower rate or £126.34 with the higher rate.

All the best

That percentage is for Omega Auction which is much higher then the Wessex Auction Room Northern Soul auction.

The percentage for the Wessex auction is 17.5 %, or you can always phone and leave bids with the auction house to save some money (it is slightly higher if bidding through the-salesroom website.

 

Hi, Thanks for bringing the auction to our attention. Also, useful to know it's cheaper to phone and leave bids, so thanks again.

Reading the website it looks like the Buyers Premium is 17% PLUS VAT, so a total of 20.4%. A winning bid of say £250 means you pay £301 PLUS postage. I assume postage will come in at about £10. Please correct me if I've got this wrong.

Do you need to register with them prior to the auction so they can take any bids in advance?

All the best

Not sure as I thought Frankford Wayne were New York, Robb will know

I'm sure as I'm looking at the records!!

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "The Millionaires as a Nashville stamp..."  The records were produced in Camden, NJ and pressed in Philadelphia.  Nashville had nothing to do with either of my Ellingtons and Millionaires releases.  Rob Russen

Hello Rob, thank you for taking the time to comment. It's great when the original artists are able to be involved all these years later. I have both of the original 45's and have always enjoyed them!! I think the previous comment referred to a  "Mastered By Frankford Wayne" machine stamp in the deadwax rather than the Nashville stamp. The Ellingtons 45 has "F/W" scratched in the deadwax which I assume also refers to Frankford Wayne.

Anybody know how much a Vg++ Original 1967 U,k press on Abc goes for now? Selling one for a friend, Northern not my forte. 

The UK ABC issue was from 1974. So reissued in the UK due to NS demand. Here's a scan from google. The UK Probe release was March 1973. Hope that helps..

I bought a Scotts on Swingers from Max Millward's shop in 1979 (18th May as I noted on the sleeve!!). Max was selling them for £3. He thought it was a bootleg at the time, presumably as he had a few, but I was happy to pay the extra £1.75 as I just wanted one! I've always been a bit doubtful about it

Hi All,

I've had a message back from the seller. I've bought from them a number of times over a few years with no problems.

They said, quote "they had several problems with the auction, some soundclips were recorded with defective needles, the sound was not reflecting the quality of some of the records listed. The records should be relisted soon with better soundclips. Sorry for any inconvenience.".

So, it looks like there will be another shot at them!

All the best

This dealer just canceled their whole list of auction items (Ernest Moseley, Marlynns on Daran, Notations on Tad).

anyone know why? 

I sent a polite message a hour or so ago. Due to the time difference, I wouldn't expect an answer until later today (at the earliest). I'll update the topic if I hear anything.

All the best

Thanks for response, but looking to find out what dead wax stamps, type face, numbers etc are.

Cheers 

The deadwax reads "DV-100512". The top of the 5 just about touches the top of the 1 which makes the 1 look like a 7. About 4cm to the right of this is "F/W".

Both of these marks are hand etched rather than machine stamped.

The other side has DV-1005 and again the F/W about 4cm to the right.

Both sides have that funny little raised stamp under the label.

Hope that helps

Just to add to the BBC/Frank Wilson threads already running (apologies!)...I understand that Kelvin Fletcher (Emmerdale actor) will be dancing to "Do I Love You" on Saturday night (23rd November 2019). Apparently, his dad likes "Northern Soul" and Frank Wilson is either his or his dad's favorite song. 

The Mike Arch band and singers are very good. Kelvin and his partner are very good dancers.

So, either make a note to watch and enjoy or avoid/cringe!

It's now back up for auction! This time with the artist name.

Just tried again to view a bid history. There is an option to tell eBay what you think, perhaps because of some innovation. So, it looks like they have changed the format so you can not tell the bidding patterns of individuals such as withdrawn bids, number of bids per item etc. To some extent, this masks dodgy bidding patterns but I think it could be down to eBay simply reducing the amount of data flowing through the system. I always thought this was a very useful feature and already I’m missing it.

I noticed this a week or so ago. For me, it's gone missing when logged into ebay.co.uk. However, if I log-in via ebay.com, I can see those details about bidders as before. That's the case when I use both Chrome and Edge. Give it a try. Good Luck.

The acetate on John M's youtube channel plays much faster than the LP. It may just be pitched up on that deck or the disc. It's the same recording, just being played faster. At least it sounds like that to me. Oddly, the sound is cut at about 2 mins.
