What a bizarre description...as if the fact that something is massive in "Notts" would be tempting?

https://cgi.ebay.com/IT-MUST-BE-LOVE-Modern...1QQcmdZViewItem

Is the seller on here? I don't understand how any US seller could say stuff like that. Personally I could only tell you what spins are massive in my apartment, it's amusing for me to read the DJ threads here but I would never have the balls to use that info in an auction without really knowing anything about it.

Yes but is it big in Notts, thats what we want to know!

Maybe if they give it a spin there it will be. Never been out up Notts way.

Maybe the seller just put the artist / title and northern / modern soul into Google and came up with it on a play list at a do in Nottingham?

Saying that, it was played quite a bit at modern nights in the mid 80's and well have been 'big' at Rock City, but I can't remember for sure now.

HUCKNALL!!! Crike, haha, I live there and I can't hear it - thank god :lol:

Seller also sold some others, mentions Cleethorpes, Keb, Prestatyn, Ian Levine etc. Mentions on the Cleethorpes listing that their friend in the UK told them so....so it must be true eh ? :huh:

So he's basically googling things and coming up with abstract comments then - wait til he sees "BIG IN MY FRONT ROOM" :lol:

Born and bred in Notts now living on the Notts/Derby border regular visitor to most gigs in the area especially Annesley, go to Soul Nights every weekend, sometimes Friday & Saturday, have never heard this tune on our side of the county, like it though.

It is funny though because someone did tell me that most of the copies of Jason Knight "Our love is getting stronger" were sold in the Notts area - and I don't think they were kidding.

Has this been a very clever marketing ploy - is it now going to be big in Notts ( / Derbys')? - natural sceptic. Dean

Well I like it! So much so, I just popped on Musicstack, and bought a 7" one for $3.75! :huh:  (Frank Wilson production, apparently)

Totally agree Pikey, Emotions is Disco, so is Alton to my ears. Each to their own I s'pose.

Won't be giving up space in my record box for one, :huh: and if it goes MASSIVE in Notts, I'll be stopping in more.

The irony of it all, has resulted in the inception of this thread, nearly 500 views and over 30 posts as I type......wonder how many have clicked the link to view the auction?

Regardless of whether this tune is big in Notts or not, I'd say the ebay description has been extremely effective and served its purpose.....to attract the maximum viewings of this item listing.

Bet the seller is well chuffed :huh:

What 6 bids, 3 from the same person, ending at about £10 plus having to pay ebay, and PeteS his 'finders fee' .

Not forgeting the £3 postage from the US to Nottingham, both parties must be well cuffed :lol::lol:

Of course it was big at the Rock City. So I think it s fair to say it was a massive tune (played on a thursday night to 40 paying punters in 1984) All s fair in advertising and he s told no lies biggrin.gif:P:D

It only did that becauseI posted the topic Mace, if I hadn't he'd have had about 3 views so his description did absolutely nothing to promote it really did it?

Of course it did Pete....... you only posted the topic because of the 'massive in Notts' comment on the description.

So although it was not the sellers intention to expect your reaction to the description, the point is it still helped to sell the item...... :Plaugh.gif
