Over £1000 is a high price for a rare but inferior version of "The Same Old Thing" by The Olympics. 

This version sounds duller, and has less of an exciting production, than the standard released classic to me. I suppose it's something different to play!

Johnny Manship knows how to sell records; he's at the top of the pile. A true gentleman to boot.

A  magnificent record; the northern soul music scene encapsulated in one record. 

 

[Dylan]

Jimmy Armstrong on brothers three is incredible deep soul one of my favourite records.

 

for quality and rarity this is very cheap.

More importantly Peter, its rare, its on its first local San Fransisco issue, and its a bloody brilliant track wish I had bid, or even seen it, Ive been after that on Fos-Glo for a while.

You'll get one mate. It's always the same when your looking for a record - you often miss real bargains such as this one. As Sam Williams almost sang, The Record Slipped Through My Fingers.

Best wishes Malc.

Do we think £295 is expensive for Billy Keene on Vault? Paula demo or issue is what 100--150 depending...

The Paula "drier" mix on both sides of this Billy Keene's fantastic double-sider is much less sexier than the Vault one is filled with reverbs and depths. But £295 is too much indeed. 

The Master Plan's 'Clinton Park' mix on Fos-Glo is also something else to get accustomed to if like me you've played 10,000 times your De-Lite copy before... But then after what a treat !

I bought this record for a fiver from a well known dealer four years ago and complained that it had the same old thing when you played it.

 Not that bothered now that he never got back to me about it……..

I have a mint BK on Vault and love the record,but was surprised that it went as far as £295...but if you read back on John's blurb,he likened it to Terry Calliers' Look At Me Now', but I can't see where the similarities are....
