As most people have said , the attraction of collecting British goes back to the early days . In the mid sixties listening to records by the Four Top's , Temptations , Willie T (walking up a one way street) , Tony Clark (The Entertainer),Capitols ( Cool Jerk) etc. was to be into a type of music most people weren't aware of . The records often had to be ordered and there was great excitement when you got your hands on something like Darrel Banks on Stateside . These records in there day were just as exotic as any US record . I still prefer collecting British although I have a fairly good US collection as well . I can only assume it's an age thing .
