WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST 'MODERN' NIGHTER SOUNDS?
Okehdownsouth replied to Paraboliccurve's topic in All About the SOUL
Another vote for no pew-pews at an all niter or in fact in any records.....IMHO. Reminds me of when my little sister bought a copy of Anita Ward-Ring my Bell it f'kin drove me mad for moths, she would play it over and and over again, -
I absolutely agree. I replied to someone who is often seen on this wants section. The record that he wanted is a in my world worth around £1250 especially as the copy that I have is as close to a minter that you will ever see. But the bloke was complete nutcase, He messaged me at least 10 times, sometime accusing me a being a BS, other time telling me I was lying and didn't heve the record, Then 2 minutes later another messages say that he wanted to buy it, them 10 minutes later another abusive one. I made the crucial mistake of emailing him some picures and then it all stated again, more abusive messgaes, more saying he wanted to buy it then 5 minutes later one telling me he has found another copy that is better and he has bought that. Thank God I thought, BUT I noticed today he is still posting wants for exactly the same record! I am convinced that he is an absolute dreamboat who never actually buys anything.

Bob & Fred - I’ll Be On My Way (Big Mack)
Okehdownsouth replied to Lambrettagp200's topic in Record Wants
There is currently one on Ebay, that looks like it could be a bargain, unless the bidders are all waiting? -
Hi I waited around 3 weeks for mine to arrive, I did chase them by email several times because they do not always answer. Persona;;y I think that they were taken by surprise by the number of orders that they got and are struggling to cope. Drop them an email and I am sure that they will reply.

Wow! they are good

The problem with a lot of the Youtube videos is that people copy the film and dub over it with their favorite records, so the folks in these are actually dancing to a different record. The only way to see real dancers is to watch the live stuff, like the dreaded Footsie video where you can tell that the video is original and then you can see these people with no timing or sense of rhythm who are either just posing or can't dance. When the dancing comps started at Wigan I always use to exit stage right and make my way up to Mr M's for some real banging oldies

There is a huge difference between feeling the music and just hearing it and nothing shows this up more than these videos. Watch the ones of the Blackpool dancing comps it makes me cringe because there are so many people throwing themselves around and doing backdrops for the sake of it AND SO OBVIOULSY NOT IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC. A lot of them are new to the music and didn't grow up with it and it shows. I went to Wigan in 1973 because I loved soul music and had grown up on a diet of Motown, Ric Tic and the like and went there because it was an extension of what had happened in the years before, not because it got on the telly.

Just when I thought that record prices were off their peak we see Chapter V go for almost £2k, £1k for a UK demo of Frankie & Johnny on Manship and now £1600 for Eddie Foster and £1100 for James Fountain. I think that I need to revalue my collection and check the home insurance!

Some gorgeous looking Brits on Manship Auction
Okehdownsouth replied to Okehdownsouth's topic in All About the SOUL
I think that some of these bids just may have me beaten? -
I can't beleive the price for The High Keys, anyone want a M- example for a little bit less than the final auction price? Pictures and sound track can be arranged, just need a day to dig it out.

Ive also heard The Salvadors in Co-op Wareham and one Saturday afternoon around 5 years ago I walked past a Thai restaurant in Ringwood and almost broke into a dance to Tobi Legend! Matt Brown is a 'modern' to y ears but a great choon

Morrisons cafe, Weymouth was playing Bobby Hebb Love, Love, Love a month or so ago.
-
I hated the dance comps and always took a quick exit to Mr M's. It always put a downer on the evening, watching a bunch of posers, most of whom couldn't dance to the music that was playing.

Some gorgeous looking Brits on Manship Auction
Okehdownsouth replied to Okehdownsouth's topic in All About the SOUL
JM always seems to get top money, but then again the records are always in absolutely the best condition. I have bought a few 'Manship Mints' over the years. -
Maybe the cheapest of the bunch but Johnny Sayles is probably my favourite, but the others are difficult to resist for any collector of British label soul like me. I just wish that they didn't all come along at once, if I win more than one my wife will go nuts! But it will be worth it, for a while.

Hi Please would you reply to my messages. Thanks Paul

Those of us who are old enough and probably ugly enough will remember when all of these were just regular choons. Personally I love all 3 or 4 and used to really enjoy hearing and dancing to them as part of the night, rather than just as the enders. Just my oppinion.

I know that Joe Dunlop sold a copy very recently for around £1000, it is a rare UK record and has much better sound quality than the US copies and is prized by collectors of British labels and demos. Personally I think that £800-1000 is the right price range so whoever bought that one got a bargain and the seller is probably very disappointed because he will only get £545.60
-
Not at all, I am a collector not a dealler so I am happy that the crazy days have gone.
-
Which one was it?
-
That's 2 copies of Frankie & Johnny that JM has sold recently and both have really undershot the true value and strange that the one in better condition went for less! Auctions can be strange sometimes, but one thing for sure, the crazy prices of the Covid era are now a thing of the past and there are some great records changing hands at more sensible prices.
-
You pay the final auction price + postage. A lot of the records gthat JM sells are not his they are sent to him by collectors and dealers for him to sell. They do this because JM almost always gets a huge premium over 'normal' prices but he guarantees that all records are original and most are in fab condition. The seller pays the fees which from memory are 20% of the final price.

Sandi Sheldon Second Issue on Ebay Current $316.00
Okehdownsouth replied to Okehdownsouth's topic in Look At Your Box
Does this mean that it is down to the same few of us to spend the next week emailing the seller and calling him out and sending complaints to eBay again or is someone else going to have a go and help out as well? The more people who bombard him and ebay the more chance there is of stopping these crooks.
