a bit slow picking up this thread but here goes, J M matthews I have no choice William Hunt Would you believe and the very last one would have to be, Vicky Anderson Wide awake in a dream all perfect in their own right but played one after the other at the end of a long hard night just AWESOME ( IMO anyway )

add me to the list of people who have played it to an empty floor and blank looks,I think its a great record !!! maybe cos I'm a crap DJ ( player of records I should say ) girly mid tempo are great IMO.

sorry Doc,had a look on stored lists but cant see it,sure it was on some list though.....good luck in finding one,not hard but so good not a lot of people sell it,(wouldnt sell mine)

Calvin Stewart, 2 good sides,nice x-over if you dont know it

was in no way a dig ''Pip'' just a comment thats all, cheers

sure JM has one but may be wrong,saw one on a list the other week, maybe Chris Anderton,will see if I can find it , US cotillion for £25 great record,why do Cotillion labels always ''scratch'' up though and look terrible ?

not surprised he probably said they were rare as well

bet its not a proppa one

I like this,paid $15 for mine about 6 months ago,saw one at the Ritz for £45 which I thought was a bit steap,dont know if its played anywhere though ?

anybody know who this is ?

the Edward Brothers on Music World, ''keep on knocking'' Pete Smith had one the other week for sale,if its still there worth getting him to play it down the phone if you dont know it,absolutely brill ( but the other side is poop IMO )

a lot of them going around,a lad at the Ritz had a wad of them, no FWs though,they're going to be ready next week...oops

I have a King Floyd for sale £20 plus postage if anyone wants it please PM me

yes Bobo Mr Soul is Archie Bell

''dont waste your time'' better than the Shamettes version IMO , and ''please stay close to me '' both good northern records

you might say '' a proper northern soul record '' and no I am not trying to agree with you !!!

I bet the kid who bid $10.50 is gutted and wondering why he was outbid

Lee Charles ..never want to lose my sweet thing...great record,just keeps going and going..

while Ace Sspectrum is being discussed,was it not re-released later on in the 70s a few years after it had sold 1 million plus so people may even have the second press ?

I would also add that JMM and BB current value wise do not reflect their rarety,yes that is supply and demand though.

absolutely not,in fact there are some great cheap records that dont get played because they are cheap,what I am saying is that many cheap records are plugged and become popular by design just so certain people can sell them in quantities and make a lot of moneyadditionally records are pushed so they can be pressed and agian certain people make money at the expense of soul fans,

interesting stuff but the fact that records were ''pushed'' to then be pressed for the financial benefit of a few is an old and well known story. I have said before it still goes on today not for the pushing of bootlegs but for the blatent ramping up of cheap sounds that some people have stock of that when become popular get sold for 10 times the actual value, deep dark secret,Ace Spectrum,Futures,Almeta lattimore,J M Matthews,Bill bush etc etc, the true value of these records is far less than what they are getting sold for, it is just the way it is. yes some records are quite rare and do not get the recognition price wise that they should and some common records go for silly money just cos its the current ''big sound'' to say that bootlegging is fine cos it gave us what we have today is a load of bollocks,the scene would have progressed anyway,just look how much knowledge collectors and dealers have these days and how many more is there now than there was 30 years ago, then there was maybe a dozen people with enough knowledge,appreciation of the music and the ability to go to the States and ''open doors'' to find the records and make agreements with dealers in the US,now there is loads of knowledgable people with great records themselves.......the only problem is the vinyl has dried up !!!

it says OXO on the sides of buses but doesnt mean theres any on the inside does it
