    what you mean "this time"? I'm always spot on, it's just you guys don't realize that

    minor typo. wasn't sure if exactly 90 copies were pressed so meant to say less than 100. just found out it was exactly 90.

    Value was discussed here on Soul Source earlier this year. In the past it sold for up to 300 quid when it was really in demand. Karl Marthon had one for sale a few months ago, offers starting at 100 I think. Don't know for how much it eventually sold. If I'd sell my copy I sure would want at least 150 for it. Less than 90 copies pressed!

    Just money sure won't make you a top DJ but it sure would bring you near the top.

    I reckon both records to be worth around 25 quid each realistically. But seen both going for much less on Ebay in recent times.

    Here are a few euro picture covers. It came out twice in Germany but don't have pictures of either release at hand.

    I'm so excited I fall asleep any time soon.

    In the end it's just a very very rare label variation of a (IMO) mediocre Northern classic. I doubt that more than a handful of hard core collectors are bidding on it. Something like for instance a proper release copy of Butch's Diane Lewis cover up, now that would be interesting to say the least.

    I'm 100% sure my copy came from you. Would make sense that you sold one and kept one, especially as the one I bought is rather VG+ than EX so you obviously kept the better one. Must have been around 1999 or 2000, I remember clearing the dancefloor completely when I played it for the first time.

    Malc, this are the modern times. Copy & paste a 1,000 times is ok with us ...

    The vast majority of 'big spenders' reside in the UK. Most of the top dollar records are oldies sought after in the UK and therefore bought by UK collectors. You're right there are obviously quite a few younger european collectors/dj's with lots of money to spend on records. But their influence on the price development of Northern 45s is rather marginal IMO.

    Yep, The Embers

    That's a reissue (or boot?) from a few years back.
  16. Benji
    Yes, white label press does exist, I have one. Actually I think it's more common than the blue (?) issue press. Is the white label one a demo? I think so but there's nothing on either side that might denote that. Just looked up the one that finished on Ebay the other day, it's a proper white demo. My copy probably looks the same, haven't played it for quite some time...

    derek you sold a copy 10 years ago! to me!
  18. Benji
    Sure. Nothing wrong with that. Many Ebay sellers do not refund return postage. Joerg is a close friend of mine so I try not to get involved in any discussion about grading or postage costs. But saying "no return policy" is simply incorrect.
  19. Benji
    hm,his return policy is that you can return any record you're unhappy for refund of winning bid.

    Chalky, I stated a fact not an argument. And argument for what? There wasn't anything to argue about? I just think that having a closer look at Bill Dennis bidding history is interesting. Only two bidders think it's worth more than 3.6K. Seems like both were very desperate to get the record, one a tad more than the other. That's all. Your buyer A/B analogy doesn't fit in what I said.

    How about Satin - Your love's got me?

    Funny Chuck Cockerham gets mentioned a few times. I think it's a crap tune but different strokes for different folkes as they say
  23. Benji
    Two versions? I forgot that there are two takes. One's sparse and the other one's much punchier, aren't they? The one I have in mind is the punchier one.

    LP is a budget type of thing released on Cascade "20 great unknown soul classics". You can pick it up very cheap And here's an interesting quote lifted from the Soul Strutter blog site: It turns out that 'Sweet Temptation' was also recorded on Charay by Cressa Watson who also recorded as Carolyn Sullivan on Philips

    ok, another 3 that are brilliant IMO and could be among the best five differences - 5 minutes lou pride - your love is fading richard caiton - i'd like to get near you
