OK I've got a copy of this now. On first look, it doesn't seem as concise as Manships book as the B sides are not listed - this in my opinion is a big mistake as sometimes records are listed with the 'wrong' side and this is one of the few good points about the latest JM book. There are some very nice colour scans of labels but the general layout is pretty basic though easy to use. But never mind that, the important thing here is the price of the records and I thought I'd compare the prices of a few records which I've picked up in the last few days and see if there was much difference between the two books.

jackson brothers (providence) JM 200 TB 50

soulmasters (raven) JM 200 TB 200

showmen (wrong girl) JM 100 TB 100

embers (mgm issue) JM 350 TB 150

sandy wynns (champion dj) JM 60 TB 50

dynamics (rca) JM 200 TB 150

earl harrison (abs) JM 100 TB 75

arnells (roulette) JM 85 TB 50

but if you take things like The Ellusions you have JM 600 TB 300

this is just a first glance comparison but it would appear that the TB book is sticking to more sensible prices.

When he's on the Bay :graynone: his auction prices start at the most you'd expect to pay for them anyway. And he does not seem to get many bids ! (i'm only talking about £100 + items here)

Whats he got the Ringleaders at Pete ?
