Chris L Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Me.....Terrible Tom (demo), £70,Wigan Casino,1978.........l could have bought a house for that back then! 7th Ave Aviators, $700, sold it on when the pound collapsed at a profit, from an Ebay seller although not from Ebay itself she contacted me and did a deal outside of Ebay. Some say I shoulda held on just a little tighter........... Don't think I ever paid more than that for a single, if I did I can't remember. Best buys I ever did were 3 x Trends + 2 x Willie Kendrick all for $225........... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Phoenix8049 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not sure of the date but when it was getting big i paid £80 for Sherlock Holmes - Standing At The Standstill I think it was early 80s. then a few copies started turning up and ended up a couple years later selling it for £20.

Shane Martin was pretty big, but nancy Wilson was definately a year or so earlier. Could have been late 74. I've always loved the nancy Wilson Track though.

I have never really paid mega money for a particular tune , which I suppose comes from being a careful Yorkshireman I have had most of what are now the big records in my possession at one time or another , and bought them when the price was respective for them , which was between £10 - £50 .

Guest turntableterra Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 don gardner 2 yeas ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! larry clinton issue.............................................. don varner 80 at wigan.................................... but lets talk the best value, after all isnt this what we really want. cliff nobles "judge baby im back", i know its not everyones cup of tea, but proper northern soul for 10 quid has to be good value. "baby cakes" "mr big shot" (maggie from carlisle loved this) "baby what i mean" drifters "somewhere down the line" "slow fizz" "i walked away" "you just dont know" (the broadways) there must be hundreds......................come on we all have at least one surely.

Mick Howard Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Webby Its all relative though isn't it depending upon when. For example paying £30 in 1980 surely ain't the same as paying £30 today - and so on... For me I stepped up a gear when I paid Pete Lawson £80 in two installments circa 1986 for Ron Baxters This Is It! That was the first of many serious expenditures for some very nice tunes all of which on todays market are in the mid to high £100's. Wish I still had em.....
