Which proves nothing but the power of market forces, supply, demand and the current availability of copies at £25/£35 in 2006, which after this thread, probably aren't many. Throw in the fact that to some ears it has interest because it could almost be a f*nk record of sorts and you've got a whole new bunch of modern day buyers wanting both the record or a time machine or both

Killer...might even give it a go at Whitley Bay this Saturday. Bump, etc, please

Only probably on the 'radio' show Dukesy seeing as they (sensibly) never let us loose up here Kristian, barring someone saying otherwise £150 is probably what you'd expect to pay on this now (unless someone pipes up and offers you one for less) and I reckon John's got this one right. There have been cheaper copies through ebay and more expensive ones and lesser condition copies going for the $$ to ££ figures etc. but for a minter, £150 sounds fair enough and isn't way too much. Great record all the same.

John Manship has one in stock at the moment...try his site

That's the reissue by all intents...

It's on Rock-Way. So are the re-issues. Except the reissues have the arranger's name and the originals don't. Or at least some pressings of the original (that apparently isn't really an original) don't. This is a re-issue...can't scan my original at the moment..someone else will probably provide one. https://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebui...el%20The%20Funk

Mind and Matter has popped up on a few occassions on ebay from the same seller in Milwaukee in the past few months for $499. Ad Libs - few come up now and agian but depends on who wants it and how bad - tricky to say.

Last few hours on this lot, more up soon

...just here > https://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZredkoogaQQhtZ-1 All soundclipped with pics. Another batch going up tomorrow night

Was under the impression that the boots of Marvin are the styrene pressings...sound like boots, anyway.

It's true, someone did find a quantity (I'd wager 25?) and was selling them through ebay recently, mostly on set sale. After about 8 went through he seemed to vanish and is now no longer a registered user. Which is a pity cos I need to talk to him

Bet one went to Andy E in Yarmouth.....

Jesus f*ck...hope not!

Ellipsis - People (Briarmeade) about 18 months ago to a well know record bully. Couldn't turn down the offer but miss it now...and the money

It's interesting to note that against the backdrop of the current thread regarding falling record prices, most of the wants lists I get (and a lot of wants from Europe/japan) are for the funkier 70's 'modern' stuff (sometimes it's like looking at a listing of my play box ) and certainly (and I've discussed this with people before) this sort of stuff seems to be holding its (or be increasing in) value. Mind you funk did a similar thing a few years ago and prices for 75% of the 'big' stuff are pretty much on their a*ses now. Which leaves the door open nicely for some "that's cos it's sh*te" posts

I think in essence, Simon, there's two different 'scenes' or 'ideologies' (for want of a better word) that have come out of this. The Northern Soul scene with obviously more Northern Soul scene oriented 'old modern' sounds being accepted (generalising but then I'm going from experience) and the - I dunno - just good music across a wide spectrum scene - let's call it the Jugumawas scene for short I've seen Tolbert go down like a lead balloon at a Northern do and then House For Sale fill the floor again. To be honest I can never figure out why blatantly bad or just dull 70's (and modern day modern) records get played at Northern do's when I know there are obviously better 70's/80's records that could be getting hammered instead. Mind you, you could apply that to some of the 60's stuff too.

It does exist already and has done for some years now, albeit not really primarily in the UK (unless you count the last hour at Jo Jo's when Keb *used to play what would probably be considered 'modern' oldies although maybe not 'modern' oldies that were played on the NS scene but 'modern oldies' played on the 'Modern scene') And if you understood that, you're doing well. It's (maybe again not as much as it used to be) in Japan and increasingly in Europe (Oslo would be a good example) where 'old modern' records get played pretty heavily to a primarily young crowd of people for whom the phrase 'oldie' 'newie' 'underplayed' etc - even to a degree, Northern Soul - is largely irrelevant against a backdrop of just good, solid music - be it funk, 60's soul, discoey-type 70's, crossover, 'old modern' etc. Finland would be a good example where I was lucky enough to play last month and got away with everything from your Trace of Smoke, Morris, Spade Brigade etc type stuff at one end of the spectrum to out and out funk to disco stuff ala Le Cop, BNB, to your Pages, Broomfield corporate Jam, New World, Rokk etc etc stuff. No northern though as it wouldn't have fitted and it wasn't that sort of club. They did all seem to be enjoying their drink a little bit enthusiastically - seemed to like the music though, which is what matters at the end of the day. Maybe the 'new blood' that folk hope will keep the NS scene going (which in 5-10 years time maybe not be the NS scene as you'd recognise it today but a music 'scene' that plays NS amongst a wider spectrum of good music) will come out of a drunken night out hearing old music that makes them go home and wonder why they've been putting up with nights out listening to digital bleeps played by a trendy, hair gel advertising half-wit with a perma-grin glued to his mush. Having waffled all that, maybe in a way I'm on about something completely different to what you were asking. If I understood what I just rambled I'd know for sure

I just put it on a mix last year...if I can find it i'll forward the link. Still got the record...somewhere

Tsk, after all that sound 70's advice I gave you too...and you still wasted your dough Found this short clip..actually off the Damn Sam reissue LP who was aka Tolbert and vice versa, wasn't he? octolbert.mp3

Just PM'd you, John

I don't have the Posse issue anymore but I recall it being slightly different in arrangement and vocals...sounded like a different lead...or slightly different... to the 'Movin' On' versions on GooD. There were two issues of the GooD version though I reckon they're the same version. As others have pointed out the Summer Groove tune is basically a version of Movin On, albeit with different lyrics and arrangement. Ady, you're probably also aware that Dorsey did this which wasn't released until (delete as appropriate) the mid 80's/late 80's/early 90's/mid 90's/late 90's or beyond. Infact if you're in contact with him you might ask him when he pressed them up - would clear a few issues up..
