Also rarities in my collection:
A silver-colored pressing of Ironhorse's "Sweet Lui-Louise"--paid $6, but I'll bet it goes for $20

When I spent over $200 dollars at a record store one time, the clerk gave me Suzy & the Red Stripes "Seaside woman" for FREE! (It had cost $5, but it's worth $10 today)

And nearly all my 45's from 1983 to 1989, I have the picture sleeves as well. Big whoop.

Haven't looked at a price guide lately, and I didn't realize the value of some of the records you mentioned, Dave. I probably have about 3/4 of them. - But one that I don't have - that I had totally forgotten about is That's Life (That's Tough). That song fits perfectly into my next volume of No One Else Remembers. ( think I'll title that volume "No One Else Remembers, Except DJDave" ) ;D

Since this old thread was dug up recently and rejuvinated, I thought I'd share an oddity I found recently: A copy of the Surfari's "Wipe Out", on DECCA records (multi-color label, the same as the Who 45's in the 60's). Both times that record charted ('62 & '66), it was on DOT records. The B-side ("Surfer Joe") is the same. It looks like a domestic U.S. pressing, with no other clues that could make me believe it's either an import or a counterfeit.

So, could anyone here have any information on this peculiar item?

The only things I could find (probably using the same sources you have) was that the Surfaris did record for American Decca from 1963-66, and they DID release "Wipe Out" (but without Surfer Joe), though I found no info if it is the hit version, or a previous release...since it was a hit earlier for them on Dot (just before joining Decca, apparently--and the original was first released by DFS, and was purchased by Dot), it may be a re-recording...does it sound similar to the original?

While I don't own the 45, I do have a picture sleeve to "She Loves You" on the Swan label that I was told was worth $100. I got it in a box of 45's I bought someplace.
