Try des parker on here soul inc. He has done me packs in the past. John Powney did great packs before he died.

I have never seen a bootleg let alone one of the demo

Would you make as much selling the rare and in demand ones yourself and getting 100 percent of the money than letting the dealers pay 50 percent on the whole lot? If you list the grapevine set in one go that should geta fair bit. If you sell yourself you may not need to sell them all to get the amount you need You can replace most tracks on cd reissue 45 or mp3 cheaply or if its a v rare one or acetate get a carver cut before sale

I was offered about 35/40% of the market value when I enquired about selling up a few years ago , not the book value. Dealers will take the good oldies they can flip out quickly for a bit more but low ball or refuse the lower price stuff I have found. I sold off most of my records above £50 and bought some others that were a lot cheaper. Sell the rare stuff yourself then do some small packs with the rest to shift them quickly

Has this ever been released on a cd ? , i know its not available on vinyl at the moment. Thanks

If its uk grading record collector mag says a very good copy is worth approx half of that of a mint copy , but on the northern soul scene usually goes for 75 % of a mint price for some daft reason like greedy dealers finding idiot wanna be dj buyers with top cash burning a hole in their wallet lol

epitome of sound , moses smith , ruby andrews , ring leaders , al kent on rictic

Has anyone had one of these recently , I was looking at getting one and wondered if anyone had bought one and what type of things they got , I saw the old thread about them but realize that the contents change with stock etc thanks

The 2 different labels have different versions of stranger at my door , one on soul clock was listed yesterday somewhere , probably facebook i think for about £170

Met him a few times locally, sorry to hear this sad news

Interesting to see they value barbara mcnair uk demo at 400 and the soul scene its selling for 800 to 900. Are people just overpaying on the scene.?

Double page feature about UK Motown this coming issue.

There was a Richard Searling interview a month or so ago with his new book out

Keep the best conditioned one or sell the one you get most money for or trade whatever the person who has something you want asks for

Most nights are just about the numbers through the door, the music played is second to the bar takings and entry money and the format is behind these .

But old boots seem acceptable and just part of the scene back in the day to many

if the bootlegs dry up then the wanna be djs will just switch to carvers or acetates albeit they are more expensive but still a lot cheaper than originals

Also des Parker soulinc on here has done me a small pack in the past that was good value. Sorry forgot about thid

Roger banks listed 2 types on here last week, I was interested but got to save up first.

I think that the original is the blue label and very rare 3500/4 thousand pounds, I think this was one of the ones that was pressed done for family and friends on a orange / red label a few years ago and not meant for sale

I'm ovo most of the time, recently a top name dj played a tune on an acetate carver thing at an ovo event. I only knew as it had a small hole and the 45 original was only us release. I was the only one who picked up on this not anyone on the dance floor cared and it was rammed. The dj had records worth thousands of pounds and in his sets the cost would have been over 20 thousand pounds to buy them As for youngsters playing bootlegs to dj at small pub events etc the only thing worse than a young dj playing a bootleg of a 100 pound tune is the same dj playing an original of the record a dealer has charged him 250 for Big name djs deceiving people living off their reputation from years ago are just taking the piss and trying to hang on to something they don't have

A very nice version

Sorry to hear this sad news

It was at an auction house in the north east , sold in a few lots and the auction house listed what was there
