How much is this worth?

Yeah, it deserves to slide down the list on a 50 foot anaconda! Obviously some kind of quantity turned up.

Maybe from the boxes that the band members ditched, as they were fed up with consigning them to record bars across Brisbane in January 1966.
 
There is an unknown EP, that I snagged about five years featuring The Echoes (ex-Tony Summers) with vocals by Robbie Peters. All four tracks are similar to the Worried Minds 45.
[STUDIO 20 S20-26] BOY IN LOVE, STAY WITH ME / CAN I BE SURE OF YOU, I WON'T GIVE IN

REX SHAW WAS THE MUSICAL DIRECTOR OF STUDIO 20 MUSICAL CENTRE. IT WAS BASED IN BOURKE ST, DARLINGHURST,

When it comes to Australian 45s, I lack nought of the top 500. Or anything significant to my knowledge. But as I said, it's 10 years since I more or less closed the book on actively seeking them out, and in that time it is probable that others may have come to light.

Another factoid : I actually had 2 almost complete Aussie 45 collections at one stage. I had 3 Atlantics "Come On", 4 Moods "Rum Drunk", 2 Elois (both mint), 2 Marksmen (and a 3rd at a later date) etc etc.. I traded many for US garage 45s, and gave many others away. My current collection is the pick of the copies I owned, condition-wise. Very many are mint.

Any other elusive worldwide beat / rhythmic scatterlings yet to be repatriated beyond their original borderline(s)?

As in sundry releases originating from varied Dominions, Duchy's, Principalities, Administered Territories, Puppet Regimes, Khanistans, Vassal States, Maharajahatas, Banana Republics or Wigwam Gouvenourtourials beyond the ken of even the most fiendous { as may be factually referenced from this nominally inclusive online overview of afore noted Symptones-->

a quietnesses usurps from leverage a gentle clash, while evolving this symptom appears as a miserable outcome of emotions and passion; this with a fragile conscious decadence towards an hoax emblem, what such torment one must endure to growl whats inside, why to abscond from the flesh that you are made and cursed with. pretense is a virtue, a character and a facade, build from shame and fear, of everything that is too real to handle ( courtesy of a.k.) . }

As in ---> Here's a chance to hear something OH! so very very GREAT!!

BTW, if any posters / lurkers have ever been graced / subjected to cut price audio book interpretations of curiously Brooklyn accented kiddie book readings of tall tale fave Winnetou , well, you've my sympathies...
 
Unfortunately, Stampy, while I do have a small assortment of Aussie 45s I don't have any of the real biggies. It was my good fortune to score a copy of "Le Soleil" by The Feelgoods this past summer along with "A Look At You"/"About You Girl" by The New Edition. Not to mention "Sunshine To Burn" by Long Grass, which I have loved since hearing on the CD "A Forest Of Gold Tops In The Land Of Oz" back in the late '90s.
 
Le Soleil and Good Morning Little School I got last year in a swap with a M- copy of Syd Wayne (Bee Gees backing) - had to trade a Missing Links Parlophone, amongst lots of other etc for them - don't regret it.
 
Just bought Toni McCann's 'Saturday Date' of a friend - promo. Mark where would you rate this in the hardest to find/not-parting with it?

I haven't heard either of these two, what sort on genre would you call these?
 
The Long Grass 45 is from 1971, but sounds like it could be from a few years earlier. On the Gamba label, which I think was based out of Adelaide. This one could best be described as pop-psych.

The New Edition 45 is poppy beat. Both sides pretty enjoyable. This one's from '67, I believe.
 
When I was collecting Australian 45s, I put an infamous ad in the major newspapers of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, offering very good prices for a large range of the rarest 45s

and this, apart from knowing about the Lipstick Killers is when I first met Mark - I have that ad still somewhere if ya want a scan ha ha

again, my D-coys, the Pacifics, Second Thoughts, Morloch and more 45s cost me no more than 50 cents to a $1 score from the local op shops, but they where gladly swapped to keep my car on the road - thanks Mark

:)

Again, my experience is from 10-15 years ago, not now. But in those days, it was far rarer than the Toni McCann on Sunshine. I think it still is. So, I guess Rarity 8 on a scale of 10.
