Thats why i'm thinking of selling up.These clowns with more money than sense have priced me out of it. Where were they when the modern scene was struggling back in the 80s............

Our David's O'Jays c/u for a few years I'm sure he won't mind me saying. Top class tune.

Strongly influenced by "Message In Our Music " I would say......

Yes it was the 'I love music' riff that made me decide to call it Eddie Levert... Couldn't bring myself to cover something as the o'jays...

Interesting to see what one in Mint minus condition might fetch.

dollars maybe if its hyper clean in condition. i think its possible. 

 

thing is that has a decent funk side some maybe buyers in the 40s with hip hop backgrounds who now own media companies / are well paid computer progammers etc, might get involved. that type of buyer. definitely a nathan barley tune by now.

 

with the modern stuff theres a wider market than ever. lots of younger buyers, some with good jobs or ready cash, not necessarily in the UK and definitely with no affiliation to its scenes. were most likely never born then.

Flourecent Smogg would be like buying Maradona instead of James Rodriguez Chris , :g::D :D :D

put Sonic Explosion with it to make it up then.

The JTA 45 is a very good record from the newer wave of discoveries but that auction price was mental, especially given the condition.

 

As Jordi said it looks like a few snipe bidders got caught up with overly ambitious limits..

 

Saying that Chris, if you're contemplating selling a few bits off now would seem a good time .. :thumbsup:

Narr upfront would be Jax Transit , Star Quake and Head Games :g:

Throw in a few early 80s uk jazz funk 45s that should have the upfront guys creaming their pants.

That is a seriously rare record and doesn't turn up. I thought I put in "a serious" bid a couple of years ago, but that was blown out the water.

 

i thought id get it with my $3200 bid at this grade with some money to spare. it didnt even register as a bid a few seconds from the end.

Who would buy that??Is their a slow flip??Would be cheaper to buy a cameo lp from late 70s early 80s.

Spose it would be boring if we all liked the same sounds.

at the very worst sounds like there would have been $1800 dollars in it.  

 

its a well liked rare modern tune.

I'd buy it.  "Head Games" is a big boogie tune, but for me its the slow flip that i'm after.  The B-side "No Way" is an earler/different version of "Ain't No Way", which was the A-Side of their next single release, the other side being "Can't Let Go".

Yes, it looks like the same person bought Jax Transit Authority and Chocolate Buttermilk Band.

 

If that's not the case, it's quite a coincidence that the winners of both auctions has got the exact same number of feedback ratings.

Unfortunately for him, it looks like the exact same second bidder who bumped him up as well :facepalm:

It's like gambling. If you bet a million quid on something you better be able to afford to lose it. Don't put a million quid as your high snipe unless you can afford to lose it.

i was probably eating rusks myself :) but there is a breed of collector now thats into collecting trophys rather then having a genuine love for the paticular genre , its easy for them to be like this because all the hard work has been done over the years ,  

 

they will prob sell up and discount all the records the overpaid for in a few months once their attnetion is drawn to their next fad !

theres at least two tangoing in this scenerio though. there are probably two more waiting in the wings. may not be that tough to move the tunes on.

I got their other 45 from Anderson as a new release.(got shot years ago)

The slow side must be good because the dancer is not modern soul or boogie as i know it.

But you like it so thats all that matters.

So is this record a 'works' group thing? Jacksonville Transportation Authority folks cutting a 45? 

 

Haven't you seen their video to it Jason, it's a bit like the old Kwick Fit Fitter videos, all dancing around under car ramps with spanners and stuff.
