Selling Up-possibly Last List
Sad news Keith. Unfortunately I think this may be a sign of the times. Whilst in the U.S., every record shop I visited there had a copy of that lovely Mr Manships price guide and were consulting it religiously. I was fortunate in the fact that most of the stuff that I'm searching for isn't in the guide, but still think that a lot of the dealers heard my accent and added 50% onto the price just in case they thought I might be lifting their legs. An even glummer-than-usual Henry Atkinson was seen wandering round a massive record fair with scant pickings. Maybe Mr Manships aim was to price other dealers out of the market with his guides? If so he's done a sterling job - but maybe he's killed the goose that laid the golden egg?

Watch This And F*****g Weep
Just got back from Vals, and gotta say he was very friendly, if a little 'kooky'. Pricewise, everything starts at $20, so if you want anything under £20 in the guide it's a bust. Still managed to pick up a few nice pieces from him, particularly R&B which isn't in the books yet. He does like to go on about the Lord, Mental Health and I-Raq though, so a pair of ear-plugs is recommended.

Little Johnnie Taylor - Zig Zag Lightning
Surely this record is only a fifteen quidder? Not rare by any stretch of the imagination - was a regular in Anglo Americans early 90s Soul Packs.

Derby

Value Please Little Oscar - Empty Bottles - Palos
Paid about £125 for mine about 18 months ago. As fer demand, not many DJs seem to 'ave it (or if they does, they don't play it), but it alzo be up on Mr Manships 'rarest of the rare'. Bit o' a conundrum, and no mistake, young feller mi laad

Album Prices
Kent Album - probably about £15 - stick it on eBay for the best return. Bobby Bland - Sold one for £30 a couple of years ago (Canadian, black label Duke) but undervalued in my opinion - not an easy one to get hold of.
