| NEW: David Bowie Auction Prices Biography South East London Years Psychedelic Suburbia: David Bowie and the Beckenham Arts Lab Blackstar Video Review Introduction
You can expect the prices for the items listed below if you are selling privately. If you sell to a dealer or shop expect less than half of the prices listed below. All prices are on the basis that the item is in mint condition. All items UK releases unless stated. List also includes CDs, & 12"s. Prices are in UK sterling and US dollars. It has always been a mystery to me as to why the prices of Bowie's record output aren't on the same level as, say, The Beatles. For me, his back catalogue is of equal importance and some of it is as desirable as anything the Fab Four put out. After all, is he not the Elvis of his generation? By that I mean for those growing up in the 70s & 80s, Bowie spoke to us and touched us in a more profound way than the icons that came before. Especially for any of us growing up in the backwaters of South London where the great man grew up. It was hard to believe that such an icon grew up on those same drab streets. Bowie had been here! Can you believe that? Beckenham, Bromley, Brixton - it was all Bowieland. The genius who reinvented himself in the faraway metropolis of Berlin knew that Beckenham High Street existed! Remarkable when you think about it. You can walk down that High Street and look at all the things that Bowie had done. To share the same postcode as him is reward enough! Bowie was Bowie. And what a body of work reflected in the releases below. Perhaps his body of work is a sleeping giant ready to go up and up in price the more people find him. The V&A exhibition is a start and I can guarantee you this: Beckenham will never again see someone who has touched World culture the way this man has. The price guide below gives you an estimate of the price an item has achieved. It should be used as a staring point; doing your own leg work on specific items is unavoidable. The price guide is just a starting point and I will add to it when I get time. No scans yet. But it will really only grow with your help. If you have anything of Bowie's, be it a magazine, CD, vinyl, whatever, from any part of the world and would like it included here then please e-mail me here. If you have an idea of its value then it would be great if you could include that as well. If you have a picture/scan of the item then please include that and I will also put that up. Happy collecting. 66 Pye ZN 17079 Do Anything You Say/Good Morning Girl....£175 66 Pye ZN 17157 I Dig Everything/I'm Not Losing Sleep....£175 66 Deram DM 107 Rubber Band/The London Boys....£150 67 Deram DM 123 The Laughing Gnome/The Gospel According to Tony Day (with inverted matrix number on label)....£60 67 Deram DM 135 Love You Til Tuesday/Did You Ever Have a Dream....£150 69 Philips BF 1801 Space Oddity/Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud (unreleased p/s, only 2 or 3 copies known to exist)....£3,000+ 69 Philips BF 1801 Space Oddity/Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud (mono;
