Rarity Versus Condition

[Dennisoul]

I`m with Joan and Gash on this one, I`ve got some really bad condition records but they play just the job...... I`ve never really been bothered with the looks of the record just as long as it`s the real thing....for me sometimes a real knackered looking copy on the decks looks magic cause you know it`s got a bit of history to it.

If a pants looking copy is all that I can get hold of, then thats the record for me.

The northern scene is one of the few that you get the same price for a M/Ex/Vg+ record. If we used record collector's guide for valuation, many of our discs would be worth half or a third of what we paid for them and the same goes for selling them. Seen lots of comment of couldn't care what label was like as long disc was fine, in other collecting fields, unless label and disc are mint then price drops like a stone. The exception to the rule on the soul scene is with the UK label collectors they will only pay top $ if it's mint.
