Agentsmith Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 no particular order or preference, forget valuation because EVERYONE'S interpretation of that is different ( same as dna ) and...i like chalky...the man is straight talking...and no differentiating over wether they are the dogs or the bogs ....just thought, as it appears it hasnt been done before, we could colloborate in putting together a 500, opposite to the greatest hits or popular anthems. inevitably, some of those well known rareities will figure in this anyway, because they are, quite naturally or have only ever been found in minute quantities, yet made it to many ears, whilst in the last couple of decades lets say others have been the privalaged posession of very few djs or collectors so they've not been heard by the masses.

Bridgesoceity Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 dazdakin- AGENTSMITH stated in the original post to use, 'Rareity over Value' as a yard stick. You agreed 100% with another member that if its based on value then its bound to be awash with shite!... Your quote that rare doesnt mean quality is correct!

Agentsmith Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) i'll chuck a few in then and be prepared to be shot at: just my suggestions, i know they're quite rare, couldnt possibly guess valuations but thats not what its about........ carpets - i just cant win esther grant - lets get the most out of life gerri shivers - lets try it again mamie galore - no right to cry marilyn barbarin - just a teenager dreamettes - thats not love esther harris - scarlet moon betty wilson - im yours katie briggs - last time around tina roberts - one way or the other new wanderers - aint gonna do you no harm combinations - i chose you some of these up there?, am i wide of the mark?....you tell me, you're the experts Edited August 27, 2012 by AGENTSMITH Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Agentsmith Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) i reckon everyone on soulsource CAN put together a 500 that consists of quality rare tunage, regardless of value, and a concensus of opinion that agrees with the selections ....but of course i did say top 500 rareities and obviously with that being the case, marmite records are going to appear amongst them, strictly speaking.

Dave2 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 LOOK,....apologies to all if its already been done, but its a bank holiday and i suppose a good many of us are bored, not gone anywhere, hence we're on soul source chewing the cud over "gently" last night, so here's the rub.....id like to see the dj's, collectors and all round know-it-alls get their comprehensive heads together and come up with a definitive format. shall we use a yardstick of rareity OVER value,as, in this day and age, there are records that simply dont have a reliable valuation as no one knows how many copies really exist. im pretty sure it would also make a very good book, sitting snuggly on the shelf next to the already acclaimed "most popular" gospel. It would make a good reference book reflecting the times thats for sure! If done regular, say bi-annually, you'd be able to see variations. I'm not sure the yardstick of 'rarity over value' set us off on the right track (s'cuse the pun), though, because I don't know what is rare (without a comparison to its value) personnally think value could be a yardstick of rarity. As an alternative, we could think about shifting the yardstick slightly to be our "favorite Northern Soul Tracks", regardless of how rare we think they are. The only way this could work is if (i) we decide and agree a preferred criteria, (i.e. all ss members post a top 20 fave NS within say 6 months?) and (ii) we get someone to vigilate and compile the results. I'm thinking of the someone with experience to lead & collate with the results i.e. soul source mods - but i wouldnt expect them to take it on, as its no small project, this! If someone did take it on (i.e ss mods or key members), then its possible we can actually achieve a top NS 500 as voted for by ss members. Anyone interested? Otherwise we might spend the next few months constructively critising rare NS lists - which makes interesting reading!! But we won't really get a top 500 rare NS list sorted. So what way are we going to go? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 John Manship's already done a book on this subject where he illustrated every Northern rarity over £500 or something like that, came out 5 years ago, it's the only chance I'm ever going to get of seeing most of these records.
