FINAL BUMP, ENDING WITH THE NEXT 9 HOURS...

Bump! Ending within the next 24 hours...

When we booked Keb for a soul/funk weekend overe here in Munich ten years ago he brought one of them 150 count double-row boxes with him. one row soul the other row funk 45s. and that was one hell of a hot box! Gem after gem, I almost drooled over the soul row I asked him why he wasn't collecting any more and he told me after having been forced to sell two pretty decent collections over the years he couldn't been arsed any longer

well, unfortunately deal fell through in the end so am still after am issue copy. willing to pay 30 quid. anyone?

Try www.puresoul.de for a copy (ID "thorsten wegner" on here), he had a copy in his sales box last saturday.

Early morning bump

My wife had a (belated) spring cleaning and asked me to put the following list of 45s up here. All sorts of highly collectable quality soul releases from the 60s to 2K. Just killers, no fillers! (but also no Northern I'm afraid). All priced to sell (we hope!). All prices plus post. Condition EX or better unless stated. Payment either Paypal (no extra fees) or cash.

SORTED NOW!

Still after a copy. Had some offers so far but price-wise way OTT in my opinion. If you have a reasonable priced copy for sale, please PM me. if you think you can charge top prices for a copy, please dont bother to PM me.

Hi, I've put a small bunch of records on ebay. All sorts of stuff, Funk, Northern, R&B, Crossover, whatever. low start prices and no reserves! Incl. The Moments, Carl Henderson (Renfro), Rance Allen Group and The Phonetics (Trudel) click here

Hi, I'm after a decent condition issue copy of the Carstairs "it really hurts me girl". Must play fine, label can be worn, written on, etc. The cheaper the better! Please PM me. TIA Benji

don't take what Tim Brown says for gospel...

Original by Tony Galla was on Swan too. Value? Depends on what format you want? White demo? Black issue? Yellow issue? only bootleg that I know of: yellow label, black writing. looks pretty convincing. the original yellow label issue had blue writing. official reissue: one-sided white label, black writing. done by Jayboy UK, i.e. proper reissue. I seem to recall it had a small center as well.

as far as I know it's a legitimate 70s re-issue done by Dore itself. "my garden of eden" is the Entertainers IV song (at least to my ears)

another and final bump. it's a bargain, Craig Moerer lists it at $600!

REDUCED!

ok, seems like I've priced it too high It's now open to reasonable offers, either cash, paypal or trades.

I thought Toby Bullard was legit? I know it's the same as the Lyrics but how about local label vs. major label release?

I think Chalky is quite correct in saying it doesn't reflect all aspects of the scene. But it sure does reflect most aspects of Northern Soul is, doesn't it? Even though I like Northern Soul with all its niches, be they R&B/crossover/beat ballads/nu soul/soulful dance, whatever, if an "outsider" asks me for a CD about Northern Soul, 90% of my picks would be from the NS Top 500.

I'm still waiting for some discs coming from the states, including an ISSUE of freddie houston's "if I had known". I haven't given up hope yet despite the fact it was posted somewhere around 2000 or early 2001

THANKS!

seller doesn't list a specific matrix no. but he lists one that either is a release number or a matrix no. : HJ7581 is this of any help? THANKS! Benji

Hi, was wondering if you guys can help me. I've been after Richard Ace - Hang 'em high for quite some time now. There's a JA Harry J blank on E-Bay at the moment but it lists a- and b-side as: Richard Ace - Candy lady b/w Black & George - Hang 'em high Now that confuses me a bit, the Trojan UK release has Richard Ace - Hang 'em high b/w Black & George - Candy Lady. I asked the seller if he just mixed up the artists but he confirmed that the Richard Ace track is Hang 'em high. Can somebody please confirm that this is the record I'm after and said JA blank has the same tracks as the Trojan UK release? I don't want to spend $$$ on the wrong record. My knowledge about Ska and Reggae is rather "limited" and it happened to me before that I bought records only to find out it was the wrong version and not the song I wanted. TIA Benji

Mark, why opening a separate thread for this record when you've listed it in your other sales thread as well? Or is this a different copy and I haven't noticed that?

Just a gentle bump
