Chalky Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Great, interesting, informative thread . The Accents 'Spring song'/'New Girl' nicely falls into the criteria imho and just seen one in 'sales' for £10 . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CeBmOhKnHCw Whilst I agree about "New Girl", The Spring Song release doesn't fall into this category.

Guest Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Opps... did i kill this post..... was just getting interesting.
John Everard Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 2 records spots for less that 25 per spot ! (if you are really careful and shop around) 60's Bobby Hebb Love Love Love Supremes Itching in my heart Stirling Magee Keep on Candace love - Wonderful night 70's You know how to love me - Phyllis Hyman Make my dream a reality - GQ On Broadway - George Benson Giving it all to you - Cheryl Berdell
John Everard Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Great effort, some good tunes in there too. How much is the brilliant Cheryl Berdell? Played at Skegness Weekender last week and was very well received in the modern room!
John Everard Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I suppose I have a bee in my bonnet about overpriced records on todays scene , not meant to offend here ,but its definitely becoming harder to have a decent play box without a mortgage. I have to say that having come back onto the scene a couple of years ago, I was both amazed and dismayed by the way prices had gone up! Never mind a mortgage, you wouldn't have a huge collection for a million quid the way things have gone. Where does a young kid or someone returning to the scene begin to assemble a collection? I've been around the scene since the mid '70's and obviously have seen prices spiral, arguably out of control. I remember for instance Flowers 'For Real' when it appeared at the Canal Tavern at Thorne under either Fish or Rod Dearlove. I seem to remember seeing around thirty copies together at around £30 each. John Manship recently sold one for £2600! Brilliant as I think it is, £2600 for a tune that's not particularly rare! We had some fantastic nights at the Canal Tavern in Thorne near Doncaster, helped along with the draught Caffrey's which in its original form was true Amber nectar. The Canal Tavern currently hosts one of the best rare soul events in the country, 'Boomerang' hosted by Maria O and regularly guested by Arthur Fenn, is an awesome musically, but friendly connoisseurs night out. A case in point re record prices: I was chatting to Arthur Fenn, just last week. He related how Don Garner was set aside in his pile at £100 when he went to Soul Bowl around the end of the 1970's. Brilliant, brilliant record that it is, certainly in my top choice, what's is it now, £10,000 ish? Edited March 27, 2015 by John Everard
John Everard Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) If you want to hear something different, try "feed your soul" Newark I spun at the last one, every record in my set (apart from james Walsh) was under £25, but I only spun that because I was asked to. All the DJs played some fine soul, I shall endeavour to be at the next one too I can attest to a brilliant afternoon out at the above said event! Definitely on my calendar now.

Played at Skegness Weekender last week and was very well received in the modern room! If berdell were rare it would be an expensive tune. There's plenty on discogs at around £20. Should get played more. Price snobbery?
NEV Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 If berdell were rare it would be an expensive tune. There's plenty on discogs at around £20. Should get played more. Price snobbery? The last time I did a spot, the very last record was Cheryl Berdell. Too good and too inexpensive to contemplate, listing it, packing it and walking a mile to post it!

Should get played more. Price snobbery? There as always been a lot of price snobbery, its part of the scene like anything else..... Let em play that game, each to their own.... I look forward to maybe seeing a few new faces on Saturday and any lookbacks after the event.. The front room too will feature many tunes that don't cost a lot among some big ticket stuff.. No big deal, its all soul aint it.... I know many collectors/ djs over the years who would never look at anything under £80, they were playing the " keeping up with the Joneses " game.... They missed out on so much quality and i have seen many of them running up to decks all excited on hearing a tune they dont know, they then find out its only cheap to buy and lose interest, its a funny old game.... Nowt wrong in doing any of this in any way you want, if we all did the same it would be quite dull... When you can break a tune you find for peanuts and it goes on to be a monster then i would call that satisfaction indeed.. I am sure there are many examples????? i dont mean something bought in the 70s/ 80s against its cost now, more about something in the last 10/15 years.... Peace x Edited March 30, 2015 by little-stevie 4
Frankie M Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Some thread I started here !! , big weekend at the Old Nags Head and hope the crowds gather for allour venues this easter weekend , I agree there is some class stuff that don't break the bank out therethat's waiting to be played !

Tailormade Gaz B Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Excellent records - plenty of scope for a few gems to be fed out here alongside some forgotten dancers.

John May Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 It's all about balance for me, don't mind hearing D.J's playing expensive tunes, but stick a few cheapo's in too, if it's all Rare for rare sake sake it just becomes pretentious IMO, having said that, for me the music quality is of course the most important aspect, keep it soul ful !, and don't take your ego's behind the decks, leave them at the door. 3
Citizen P Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Looking forward to this. Strong female vocal to get things started - get in early as it'll be busy! Think this is a cracker, been playing it meself for a few years-hope it goes well
Richy P Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I'm just scared that half my records will be getting a spin in the back room ....... I think its a great idea , and something different to help side step the snobbery and elitism , besides that its a chance for us to get some top class Dj's and dealers on spinning alternative underplayed records (whom I'm sure will be bringing spares of records played to shift , so bring your purses). We are always looking for things that will make our night a bit different ..... Just hope I get chance to spend some time in both rooms whilst hosting the event . Judging by the comments on the thread its got people talking (about the concept). Hope some of you can make it ........ https://www.facebook.com/events/1556885014572579/?ref=1 RSVP if you can folks ....... 2
KevH Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 At the last all dayer at Diff Strokes,Steve played a tune,there we are racking our brains,,,," i used to have this " etc etc.....turns out its the "other version" of Leon Collins on Elf......not the green one.......that's what its all about......

I had exactly the same issue with Sam from the Blk Bee - I've got the Green Issue version on Elf which is more 'electronic sounding' if thats the right description. And I was sat there thinking...this sounds familiar...I'm sure i've got it. In the box for tomorrow - across the board soul sounds! Edited April 3, 2015 by TailorMade Gaz B 1
