The records going under the hammer were a part of Calder’s independent record label he launched, called Immediate. <\/p>\n
The label was short-lived after being affected by financial difficulties soon after it was set up. <\/p>\n
Hughes, Wessex Auction Rooms’ vinyl specialist, said the collection has a lot of “promo tracks” from famous musicians before they even became successful. <\/p>\n
“The big one is Billy Nicholls’ Would you Believe,” he said. “Loads of big musicians recording on that album, but it never came out.<\/p>\n
“This was pressed 100 times, sent out to radio stations but never officially released due to Immediate records falling into financial difficulties,” Hughes added<\/p>\n
Nicholls, a songwriter and producer, was discovered in his teens by Immediate co-founder Andrew Loog Oldham, he recorded Would You Believe in 1968.<\/p>\n
Hughes said the record was meant to be the “UK’s answer to Pet Sounds” \u2014\u00a0meaning Britain’s version of the Beach Boys classic hit album in 1966. <\/p>\n
Hughes also has a “unique promo pack” for Sticky Fingers, a Rolling Stones album,” with merchandise and lyric sheets that have never been used, he said.<\/p>\n
“It’s a really cool promo for a really important album,” he Hughes added. “I would guess this is worth anywhere between \u00a3700 – \u00a31000.”<\/p>\n
“But the sky’s the limit.”<\/p>\n
The auction will also include signed records, Beatles rarities, David Bowie collectables, Pink Floyd test pressings and promotional releases, and original pressings spanning the history of popular music.<\/p>\n
The collection will be auctioned at 10:00 BST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The records going under the hammer were a part of Calder’s independent record label he launched, called Immediate.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-657212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
