I would imagine that was his intention, he gets rid of dead stock and the buyers are happy will half price records or some are 🙂

I would guess a lot of the records would be maybe several copies at best and hard to please everyone when those copies are gone Money refunded no loss really just a bit of disappointment. Life goes on 👍

A monumental task undertaken and in hindsight John himself would probably say it was a exercise that outstripped expectation and put him and his team under pressure but most on here seems happy, most complaints seem now over missing records but that is the chance taken with sales like these, he isn't Amazon.

Had a listen to the previews and the single on YouTube and sounds great, good to hear someone putting a fresh slant on things.

Yes Queens Hall , yes modern room downstairs and as you say a great venue.

Bradford was doing well attendance wise till it's closure.

Reminds me of a cross between James Carr and Roy Hamilton ? Sounds like a crap singer to my ears.

Equals more matches and more revenue 😂

That's sad, very knowledgeable guy. R.I.P.

Great post, after all the negativity, positivity seems to be the main reason for people posting on here now regarding the sale. Good that orders are now getting through after all the hard work John and his team have to put in.

That video really sums up the task John and his team have, hopefully people will give him time get the records out and not get too angry about the situation.

Correct Denis did score on his debut 1962 a 2-2 draw. Denis played in the best game I ever saw live a 5-4 United loss at Hillsborough. The game was a few months after the European Cup win at Wembley, which Denis missed through injury. https://www.mufcinfo.com/manupag/match_data/match_sql.php?my_match_date=1968-08-31

At this moment I do not see any alternative,other than cancelling the order, I get everyone's frustration but John is not a fly by night and with patience and a bit more tolerance all will end well probably with not as many records as expected but fully refunded for the missing ones.

You seemed happy about your acquisitions here.

One of the most respected dealers and people are not prepared to give him time to deal with an amount of orders he never would have imagined. As Chalky says your records will arrive or a refund given. Bombarding him with emails and phone calls will not help his endeavours to fulfil the orders either.

He came to my place of work long after he had retired, he was doing some promotional work for a printers supplier unfortunately I was on the opposite shift so missed my opportunity to meet the great man, i was gutted. R.I.P. Denis

Wise words Peter,and I am sure John is beside himself and doing his upmost to rectify the problems. I am certain the said post was just a bit of bravado and not taken seriously by anyone. I am fine thanks and hopefully you are doing well too and a happy new year to you too.

Will that sort it ?

My interest was in your reply to go sort it out, I have not ordered any record so your willingness to help is appreciated but not needed.

What's that got to do with your last piece of advice ?

Half an hour ago you were telling people to be patient now you are saying you would go round to his premises, I am sure taking your last piece of advice would be plain stupid.

No chance of forgetting the title of this tune it is repeated enough I managed to count 22 times and that's the backing singers.

Hopefully it goes the same way as "The Drifter" Christmas #1 lol, hopefully soon the message will get through that there is not much money to be made by producing so called Northern Soul records.
