    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!

    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.

    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
  16. Okehdownsouth
    Not at all, I am a collector not a dealler so I am happy that the crazy days have gone.
  17. Okehdownsouth
    Which one was it?
  18. Okehdownsouth
    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.
  19. Okehdownsouth
    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.

    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.
  22. Okehdownsouth
    He told me that he would inform the buyer that it was a reissue. I told him that if he didn;yt I would put a $3k bid on it and then complain to ebay so he said that he would cancle the sale. All I can say is that I hope that he has.
  23. Okehdownsouth
    Unfortunately this is very true and it makes it far too easy for the unscupulous to make a lot of money by selling fakes, boots and reissues as originals.
  24. Okehdownsouth
    He sent me a message last night saying that he had cancelled the sale. I hope that he is telling the truth!
  25. Okehdownsouth
    The problem with that is that biddrrs using auto bid or snipe tools may not have seen the change. He should end it and relist.
