no prob, its on the flipside of "Um,Um,Um". One of the best 45s 10 - 20 UKP can buy you

loads of fabulous compilations, but if I had to choose one and only one it would have to be "Detroit Inferno". timeless.

a certain major lance recorded this tune in 1964..

agreed. but its good fun to speculate

why ? after having had their youth celebrated at wigan or where have you they could be living now in malta, south africa, austarlia..in fact anywhere in this world ?

as are the others too..heard them all play out in recent years

would have thought he would have had seen a copy at least..of both titles. Little John and Mello Souls ?

On re-reading the first sentence it MUST be a record that was thought or rumoured to exist on 7inch but so far no one (well at least not JM) had ever seen a copy of. So come on you Rare Soul Sherlock Holmes of this world...get your heads working! ..or sit back relax and wait till thursday

good call. was thinking somethings similar although it could also be sth that was LP-only so far or a another case of a Frankie Beverly ROUSER /Fairmount situation. Or a one-off acetate where someone found a real 45 (Esther Grant ? ) Also would include Junior McCants as a possibility knowing that there is one other copy still around which hasnt yet surfaced as far as I know....I mean, not really many possibilities left since he auctioned the Frank Williams, Antellects, Andantes, Del-Larks, Inticers, Eddie Parker, Gogate 45s, the Shrine cataloge. etc etc ...at a guess JM must have seen or even autcioned almost every other rare Northern Soul record in the past ?

have to disagree here mate, its too late. They should have done so a few years back already...if they dont have collections full of high end items that is. Personally I dont know anybody who did built up a collection as an investment, sure there will be some though. Talked to two very good friends of mine, one in his fifties the other in his sixties. Both told me they give a f**k about values and prices, they wont sell, there life would loose an essential part if they would

hi Dave, actually I in fact cant name them all...not even everyone in Berlin let alone Germany or Europe in general. And I am not talking about buying people, I am talking about deejaying people as that what is what the headline of this thread asked for. If we talk about new young and collecting people, oh my, it must be hundreds out there. In the last weeks alone I had "record dealing" contacts with a handful of totally new to me (German) names. Just for example. I agree with you in general though, there will still be a scene, there will still be ovo venues and the emphasis will be the same as now..but prices WILL go down in the long run. 10 to 200 GBP 45s are already almost unsellable if not currently indemand or "hot", the only things fetching still big money are the so called big ticket 45s everybody seems to chase. But that will cool down as well me thinks once the handful of big boys (and girls) have done their 45 wants . In fact the (price) situation is pretty much what I thought it would be like ten years + ago already...only that thankfully theres a lot more new young faces around which is brilliant!

once you start thinking about it....here`s a few more names dropped Helena (Sweden) Johan Tollgerdt (Sweden) Ludde (Sweden) Sami (Finland) S¶ren (Denmark) Niklas (Denmark) Tomasso (Italy) Sebastian Gerstung (Germany)

Markus Sichter (Berlin) Max Kunze (Dresden) Alex Salvo (Dresden) Henning Boogaloo (Switzerland) Howie Paris (Dessau) Matt Fox (Cologne) Kevin Flipclip (Berlin) Martin (Berlin) Alfredo (Italy) Callum (UK) Liam and Gary (IRE/UK) Kian Nawim (Berlin) ...just about a few from the top of my head. All aged between mid twenties and start of their thirties, most of them (esp. the German dudes) relatively fresh "on the scene" and all up for it in the only right way, the real way. Future looks good if you ask me.

good job, esp. nice to see the vinyl being green. IMO.. Marc

fellow hip city resident franz recently got hold of a copy of dee and flo for conciderably less..lucky man he is. its on our new free cd which will be given away to the first 50 in

hi brian, attached is the original obituary from back then explaining the cause of his sad and sudden death. On behalf of my mate Wolfgang I thank all people who have contributed! Marc

Hi Bob, not only Sam, quite some DJ`s had and continue to have it in their box and sets since a good few years. I sold my copy set sale

I think so Chalky, at least one of the happy people who got a copy back then once told me that Mr Roberts told him that these were his only and final copies..

If it helps you, I sold one the other week for 400 UKP.

you know that I really hate to disagree with you mate, but tims copy went in his auction around summer last year and it was over 2 K.

you are right Ted, I mixed that up with the copy one certain DJ sold when he was selling up...that was the amount his copy sold for.

Hi ted, if you are on about the copy he had last year it went for sth like 2.5 / 2.8 K if I remember correctly. Not to me, it stayed in the UK..

Reductions: MIxed Sguar It`s A Bad Feeling / Fifteen Ain`t Young No More 400 UKP Dusty Wilson It`s Gonna Be A Tragedy Mutt EX 600 UKP ON HOLD (still...) Mickie Champion What Good Am I Without You Musette M (-) condition-wise in fact the best copy you have and/or will ever see 600 UKP back for sale

Back in the eighties when my shirts were checkered and my parting was shaved "Rodigans Rockers" on BFBS every thursday evening was a MUST HEAR. Later on in the nineties I heard him play a couple of times live in Berlin but was slightly dissappointed...maybe my expectations were set to high. Marc

And who knows for how long it would have stayed as a C/UP wouldnt it have been for lews auction list complete with a sales tape where said tune was on...10 K was the price he was immediately offered from a UK DJ if I remember right.
