Mickjay33 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 SOME GREAT TRACKS ON HERE & at a great price https://www.modculture.co.uk/coming-soon-the-capitol-northern-soul-7-inch-box-set/
Dave Rimmer Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Which is being produced by Universal. I wonder where they will get the records pressed ? 1
Pete S Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Two excellent box sets there (Capitol & Chess) but wow they are certainly expensive £82, think I'll wait til they come down in price
Mickjay33 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 not a bad price Pete works out at just over £11 a record
John Reed Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 If you've got the the other records in the Chess Box set, you're paying £85 for Etta James – Can’t Shake It 1
Mtay9778 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Considering the Tamla motown 7s box sets were approx £50 each £80 is a bit steep. Let's hope these play properly for the extra money!
Rupert Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I had email,yesterday saying they are £44.99 per set thesoundofvinyl.com this site Edited May 29, 2015 by rupert
Dave N Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Would not count on that have recently bought Georgie fame single with sweet thing and three other tracks,first one skips both sides and replacement jumps as well but only one side,looking at not purchasing anything by universal again.
Raym Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I think most people that fancy this will be happy to pay but I do think give us something that really is a collectors piece with some quality heavy vinyl, decent lable repros and records that actually play. Most of all lets see some respect for the artists, song writers and production who put these great tracks together. Edited May 29, 2015 by Raym
paultp Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 They will come down in price, at Christmas Universal were selling the motown box sets for £20.00 after pretending that the first one was a limited issue. Money grabbing scum.
maslar Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 These look really good and I'm sure a realist price will be established. Even so I don't think the one announced is extortionate. Maybe just a little on the high side. I just hope that buyers don't start splitting these up a la Motown. Each record is a part of the whole package. It's the "wholeness" of the item that gives it it's validity or status as a collectors item. As such whether some of the tracks have been released before is to a large extent irrelevant as long as it's all kept together. (in my opinion).
Carlf Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Would I be right in saying that OUTSIDERS - LONELY MAN will be the first legit issue on a seven, and therefore classed as the original release on a seven. Edited May 29, 2015 by CarlF 1

To be honest I go the other way, I wish they'd sell them separately because there's loads of stuff I've already got and would only be wanting maybe 2 singles out of each pack. 1
Mickjay33 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 just per ordered mine of https://thesoundofvinyl.com/ £30 cheaper roll on july
Ian Seaman Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 i see they have pressed J D Martin as an issue and the Rosebuds as a demo lol
John A Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Great. More fecking reissues! That's just what we need 1
Guest john s Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 "A rarity is thrown in for good value too, Joy Lovejoy doing ‘In Orbit’ – with very little known about this particular singer and the song even today." FFS.
Dennyj Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Has anybody bought either of these yet - if so, how's the quality of the pressing ?

Steve L Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 27th July is the release date so a few days yet.No John Manship has them now I've just bought the Capitol one, it came earlier this week.Quality is good
Steve S 60 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Had to do a double take when I saw the Capitol box set reviewed in this month's What HiFi. A five star review with So Is The Sun the stand out track.
