    Used to use my own cartridges when dj-ing for many years. Changing/setting them up only takes a few seconds.

    Maybe worth mentioning that this german release is the only way to get the brilliant "I'm in need of love" on a 45. Good luck with the sale!

    2.5 max for weight and VTF! Everything above that will cause wear to your records sooner or later.

    These prices look much more sensible to me than Manship's. Obvious that Anglo-American has a much smaller customer base. Or at least a base without the more-money-than-braincells lunatics. I always thought of E. Williams as a Popcorn track. Or at least that's where it would sound great, at a popcorn party. Not a Northern Soul record IMO.

    The Paris/Steve Mancha boot predates this Sonic Wax 45.

    You may have a point here. But I just played a few Steve Mancha tracks and the a-side of the Professionals on Youtube. I can hear only one lead singer on the Professionals track. And he sure doesn't sound like Steve Mancha. Steve Mancha sings in a lower key in his other songs. It might be him on the Professionals, there are some similarities. But if it was he's not singing in a key that's fitting him if you know what I mean.

    As this topic seems to go off-topic I will return to the original post. Not sure what you mean by rarity? You mean collectors and/or punters more focused about the rarity of a record than its musical quality? When it comes to exclusivity, I remember I once saw a pic of a late 1960's small ad of somebody offering 5 pounds (? not sure, pre-decimal times) for a copy of Chubby Checker - Discotheque on UK Cameo-Parkway. So even back then folks were willing to shell out to get tunes nobody or most didn't have.

    Mal, really enjoyed what you've posted so far! Excellent read. Just one short question, 20k/24k is this the distance to walk? E.g. 20.000m?
  13. Benji
    one-upmanship has been a driving force in this scene since the very beginnings. Based on that it's only logical to try to source records nobody else (or hardly anyone else) has. And this is where the focus on rarity comes into (IMHO).

    This is obviously a fake seller. Fake sellers are a well known problem for/on Discogs. There's even a thread in the user forum to report fake sellers: https://www.discogs.com/de/forum/thread/978013 Please report there. Update: seller darrellgonser already reported as scam 4h ago. However apparently there are still 32 records for sale.

    I sold an EX copy of this for 200 back in april. Quick internet research indicated that a M- copy should be 250/300 max. As I type there are 2 issues and 4 copies for sale on Discogs.

    Pretty sure it was "Universal Soul Radio Edit". it's a edit of the universal soul mix and with 3:34 running time fits nicely on a 7".
  17. Benji
    Excellent track. But it's not the first time it came out on 7". It came out as flip to on the bootleg of Melvin Moore - All of a sudden back in the 90s.

    You're asking €400 for a Sam Fletcher bootleg? https://www.discogs.com/de/sell/item/2258190727

    Excellent track. This will have a physical release in just a few weeks. His debut album is due mid august or early september from what I rememeber.
  20. Benji
    Here you are.
  21. Benji
    Excellent mix of old tunes and recent releases, soul, reggae, r&b and even some "foreign" language cover versions. Looking forward to the next one!
  22. Benji
    Funny you say that. Sorry to say but there are also many original artists that make a mockery of the tunes they recorded back in the 60s when they do a live gig nowadays.
  23. Benji
    Sites like Bandcamp are full of countless number of high quality new releases available only as digital download.
  24. Benji
    They used mood mosaic as theme from 68 on. Even re-released it on 45 due to the popularity of Beat Club.
  25. Benji
    Yep, that’s the one!
