should have been in wants, sorry :fool:

I've not got one in my sales box Ged but I know someone who has one. I also know someone who told me that he sold one recently and the price he said he got for it was well above what I was expecting. So was just wondering if what he got was inline with what the educated on here think its worth. He sold his private, not on an auction.

Out of interest whats the value of "Because of My Heart" nowadays on Fairmount?

Hi, anyone got a copy of Neil Reed - Not as beautiful as you on Now Then records that they want to sell or trade? Anyone can help please PM or email me at mormar44@btopenworld.com Thanks Mark

Roger I think the difference is that at the big events, many people will have travelled a long way expecting to hear rare sounds played on original vinyl. I think Mark B's "If you've not got it don't play it" is more relevant to the big events than to the smaller local do's. I don't think punters at those events care what medium the music comes from but I reckon if you asked around at the large events people assume that the sounds are being played from vinyl. As you say a DJ on this scene builds a reputation over the years from playing quality music on vinyl. If you were on at Kings Hall and played Margaret Little I'd assume that you had a copy, if I found that you had been playing it from a cd then I'd be dissapointed and your reputation would have gone down for me pesonally. IMHO there is a difference between the standards that people expect at a big event (where people travel) than there is at a local do run by people who just want to provide a good time for people who are out for a dance and drink close to home on a Saturday night.

When I am occasionally asked to DJ I always use original vinyl. I can see that some small local venues will use cd's and if they are not hiding the fact then I don't have a problem with it. These are not rare soul events more like good night out events. What I do object to are "big name DJ's" at the big all nighters and weekenders (money spinning 600 plus people events) playing off cd's. I think this is well out of order and they should be named and shamed. Mark

Thanks Mace He's asking £215 in vg++ so I suppose its about right.

Just been offered a Jimmy Ricks "Oh What A Feeling" on a Festival multi coloured demo. Anyone got any idea on what the going rate should be nowadays? Thanks

Could be, but I've gotta sell em first and you know what a tite bunch of buggers they are on soul-source !! Rumour has it that there's more chance of getting Rob Thomas to smile than there is of getting them buggers to pay a fair price!!

I could do with some help here. I've been offered some 45s by this guy called Ray Atib ( I think)from Belgium that I have never dealt with before and with all the recent "Belgium rip-offs" I thought I would ask if anyone knows of him? He's trying to push me really hard to make a quick payment through paypal. His email starts soulrun111 Any help greatly appreciated, thanks Mark

I have had this happen to me and it is very annoying but it does'nt only happen on ebay. I had a winning confirmation letter from Mr Stanley to say I had won a copy of Curtis Lee -Is She in Your Town for $300 last year. Sent the money but got a letter to say that I would'nt now be getting the record as he had discovered that it was a boot. No-one I know has ever seen a boot of Curtis Lee!! So he obviously had someone offer him more after he had sent the winning confirmation.Needless to say I have not ordered anything since even though I may miss out.

Hi Carl Have sent you a PM

These people are getting cleverer. I could always tell these "dodgy" ones in the past because if you clicked on any of the links it went nowhere. On this one if you click on the "account protection tips" button it does take you to that page. Scarey

Hi Dave As he was your best mate I suspected that you probably put him up to it !! Wilko was always good for a laugh, can you remember those Temptations boots with " It's whats in the pocket that counts" on the top. Most of us thought he pinched the idea from Kev

I remember a few years back flyers for John Wilko's Bramcote Lodge soul nights had a certain "John Monkeyshite" down as the guest DJ !! It didnt go down well at the time but I'm sure it was just another accidental "slip up" by the Notts soul flyers

I know exactly what you mean, this always seemed like mess of noise to me......

If anyone has a copy of Barbara Stant - You've got to try it again on Shiptown they want to sell, they could make my year email me at mormar44@btopenworld.com

[Think they'll keep coming at a trickle Trev. Have you checked the bids? It always amazes me that the same people that bid against each other with days to go and push the price up. Must have more money than sense!!

Not sure if Stuart's suggestion is possible but if it is then it sounds like a good idea to me. Mark

Went in DJ-Beans shop a couple of years ago and was struck by what a decent honest bloke he was. He had a stack of photocopied Manships guides that he had done and was knocking them out at $25 each.

Hi Chalkster Nice to see you last night mate, good night I thought. I have the Wilbur Reynolds Resist 45 with both tracks on and if you can sort me how to do a sound file I'll put one up. Mark

If you do find a cd with Margaret Little on Mike can you let us know or a soundtrack as its a song that I can't imagine ever tiring of. Sounded as good as ever when Mick H played it at the Orange last Saturday. Even if you win the lottery you still going to struggle to find a copy.
