  Lost Summer Love issue on Pye sold on Ebay yesterday for £565. Does that seem a tad expensive or the going rate the way prices are rising?

Well it is quite scarce I suppose compared to some of the others that have sold for silly prices of late but its a lot of money to pay for a purely 'nostalgia' record....... While some prices have gone mad there seems to be a drop in price on under £100 sounds ?

Probs one of the first northern soul records I ever heard, takes me right back to cantilever youth club in Stockton Heath 

Posh Warrington. I used to have relatives that lived on Fairfield Road.

Memories of station road. 

Soul police won't understand 

When and for how long was it spun for at Wigan, and by whom? Must have been a while, hence a CC release. Big at my youth club.

Think it was 78 and possibly Russ it was certainly played for a good few months which for the Casino was a long time. Long time ago now but I still really like it and the memories that I associate it with.  😍.  Unfortunately never owned it on Pye

I did say I think it was 78 but no problem with 77, makes sense. It was one of the records that got played for a long time.  Still can't remember who played it though 🤔 cheers for the information 👍

That's a 25% increase. A better investment than the stock market or property.Banks and pensions can't  begin to compete. Is buying rare northern soul the way to go

Until we are mostly all dead. Then the market will crash & the last one standing will get The Del Larks for a fiver including P&P

There is definitely an age element, I did read something about how the market for rare jazz records rose and fell as collectors passed away and newer ones didn't take up the slack. That was probably 15 or so years ahead of northern soul; similarly I've noticed that the market for American Hardcore punk records is just starting to soar which is probably about 10 years behind northern soul. So if you're in it for the money start collecting the next big thing NOW. Probably grime records or something 😆

Same crash happened to the Doo Wop & Rock & Roll markets so I'm told.

I'm already 150 due to the amphetamine kryptonite diet so here's hoping for more than just a Del larks, 😆
