New young folks into the music/digging the music at allnighters/soulclubs ? Yes, definitely. But for a deep and long journey or just "for the joy of the moment" ? Sadly though but for several reasons I have to believe the latter is right. But still fine with me although I would prefer it the other way round much more obviously. By the way, its (again) Keb Darge dancing in this video...shown sadly though only from the back Marc

great semi-known underrated tune on chart sound (if I remember right), green label. Used to be a ten UKP record, not that I have seen it much last years. Marc

Yes please Adam

Hey, that would be nice, yes please ! Marc

For a long time this was in my book one of the moest expensive bootlegs that ever went thru ebay as it once went for the unbelievable sum of 260 UKP on ebay several years ago

I NEED THAT SLEEVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you are from Berlin or were just stoping by at Downtwon`s Record shop on a holiday trip to this beautiful town ? Marc

I sold my last copy of Ann Cole (along her other stuff on Baton, all highly recommended if R&B is your target) for 20 USD in us VG++. Gene Chandler and Dobie Gray are obtainable at 10 USD each. Marc

Can`t be true, can it ? ? ?

Sorry mate, I was abel to buy only one copy at that price Marc NB t`was about three years ago only...

I hope not the superlatives LOL In my book: ST on Gloreco (more desirable IMHO) 500 Volumes 250 + Superlatives 10

Ouch, so I missed a real "bargain", no wonder it has been sold

No, didn`t notice that, when and where was that ? I am referring to this records 1 2 3 in auction ends august 30th 7 pm No Label Artist Title Comment Grade Price 1 ***Dore** Rita & Tiaras Gone with the wind BID VG++ £1,000 2 ***Sable** Lee Mckinney& Magnetics I'll keep holding on BID M £2,500 3 ***Sound city** George Hobson Let it be real BID VG++ £1,000 ...list # 99

Quality Soul as they say

Fantastic S oul record. Shifty had one on his last lists at 1000 and sold it, the one the website you are on about is 1500 and not sold, so at a guess this record is worth between 1.000 and 1.500 UKP

One of my fave male artists, I also have him on Colpix, Bo-Ad (obviously his own label), Tra-X of course. I am sure more labels but can`t remember from the top of my head right now. He used to work as a security / bodyguard eighties and nineties, don`t know if still active though. Among his clients used to be the major from LA at one point if again I remember correctly. And yes, Betty Lou was his wife in the later days. I tried to contact him when he was with Lionel Richie as the chief of his bodyguards over here in Berlin but sadly couldn`t get thru...would have been nice to chat with this man I am sure...

It`s a bit outplayed over here in Germany, that`s for sure. My mate Franz started playing this some years ago now. 250 UKP I think shouold be a right price.

A 45 is always so much worth the buyer is willing to pay...so THIS copy seems to have been worth 600 UKP...to me for sure not. 250 UKP record with the right label design (fottball players). I don`t know how you lot feel about it but I somehow get the ffeeling after a period of quiteness prices on certainitems are again on the way up. Is it only me ? Marc

Hi Rod, take a look at his other items for sale..

Too good to be true kind of price if you ask me. Strange thing is that the high bidder is a well known and respected seller (from the same Michigan area as well!) so I really can`t believe she is not paying for her win. So four (!) options, one the high bidder is the same real person as the seller and this high bid was only some kind of "reserve" (to safe the fees for that) and she now decided to sell at that price (your high bid), two the high bidder does not intend to pay (very unlikely) and is a different person as the seller, three the seller has indeed multiple copies (very very much unlikely), four its a fraud Your best bet would be to get in contact with motorcitymusic(@aol.com if I remember correctly) to ask about the situation before you do any mistakes Marc

The Del Royales for me

Both hard, couldn`t say which is harder..Underwood I think is more indemand. GD around 250 - 500 UKP (depending where and who etc) Carl Underwood posssibly 600 to 800 UKP. Marc

Maybe Ted refers to the copies that went on ebay between 200 and 300 USD in the past. If thats the case one still has to bear in mind that those did not carry a soundfile (as did the one JM had). So maybe this fact was responsible for getting more people interested in this recent auction as they didn`t knew the tune before
