Chalky Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Call me fool if you want! but what the hell is 'POPCORN' SOUL? Its really annoying me now. While i'm on anyone got the values on these. Superlatives - I still love you (uptite) Bob and Fred - I'll be on my way (Big Mack) Flirtations - Stronger than her love (Festival) Shamettes - Don't waste your time ( ? ) Spaniels - Stand in line (North American) Cheers Mike Popcorn..f*** knows, don't think anyone got a definitive answer lol...some real strange records on the scene though as well as some quality soul. Prices....... Bob And Fred very rare £800 to £1000 plus. Superlatives Yellow label £75 (although my girlfriend Janine just got one for £35) and Sky blue label @ £40. Flirtations £150/£250 Shamettes (on Gold Dust) Manship rates it at £400 Spaniels - I've got down at £10, maybe someone has an upto date price.
doowopmick Posted March 1, 2004 Author Posted March 1, 2004 Thanks Chalky, Might not be up to some of those prices just yet but I'll keep looking. Mike
Guest Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Apparently, The "Popcorn" scene is a rough equivelent of our own Northern scene, but in and around Belgium
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 I saw Shamettes going for £750 in a box at the end of last year. Thought it was a bit expensive but if I had any credit left on my card I would have still bought it. It is the first time I had seen one for sale, and alcohol doesnt help when trying to make a sensible descision.
Chalky Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 >>Popcorn article<< >>Another Popcorn article<< Couple of articles to read I found. Whilst they do play some soul there is some down right crap that isn't in the least bit soulful on the popcorn scene. Bit like the northern scene :-)
Guest Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 Just to keep you up to date wit the price of Bob and Fred - I'll be on my way (Big Mack) its mt fave detroit sound so i follow the price (avidly) well the fantastic martinT (100 club) my fave dj bought one on e bay for $1400 aprox this copy was cracked! ive also seen it on set sale for 1500uk on two occasions, so i guess this is about the figure to pay now 2004 ( will i ever own one at these prices?) hope this helps
Guest micksmith Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 so why would someone pay $1400 for a cracked copy. the mind boggles.
Guest Kolla Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 Mick - if it's ok with you can we still call you a fool! And what are you still doing here? Aren't you going to Prestayn?
