Welcome back 

I've snorkeled enough off Bohol, Wakatobi and Bonaire 😉

I have found the Louis Paul very interesting for several years, but never thought I could have bought it for 500.
I'll give you one: bargain

A big thank you to Woody and Zanny for taking the time to post this up every week (I think others have helped to) I thank you all!!! And.....I very nearly had a pop at the Louis Paul, I love it!!! But as I don't really collect now I'm unsure of prices.....was this fairly good value at £514?? Thank you....Rob

Yep, bit thanks to Zanetti and Steve for keeping Johnny's auction results coming our way.

Must be Happy New Year - there have been no squabbles over the resulting prices ........................yet! 🙂

Happy New Year everyone.

I always find John Manship's descriptions of the records and their history make fascinating reading, and the combination of final prices and when the auction took place strike me as lining up a series of books he could put out.

Already written, just waiting to be compiled along with the scans of the records.

Yes but it's Johnny Manships perspective of history.

I went to hundreds of allnighters/soul nights and John Manship was not there.

He probably went to hundreds of events I didn't go to. So we will have a different view of how it was! 

I suppose any book is the authors perspective on how it was to them. A lot of interesting things left out that should be mentioned etc.  That's why I have given up on buying books about the Northern Soul scene.

My memories and any authors are often too different.

Spot on. I do enjoy reading his observations even though on occasions they differ vastly from my view for the very reason you have outlined.
