I'd say it's really relevant how many copies have knocked about in the past. I wouldn't personally pay mega money for something Anderson had in bulk in the 80s. In fact these are the only things we have to go on in terms in the true value of records. Shouldn't rare records be rated by rarity rather than monetary value?
just been reading the article of Otis I wouldn't dispute his rights to greatest soul artist, but northern that's a different matter, who do you think the greatest is?

Wish there were that many books on the really influencial clubs of the era, garage, gallery, zanzibar, or the warehouse. Their seems to be very little written about the sanctuary, which was probably the most important of all.
Arron neville has a great vocals but it's really sounds like a demo, the instrumentation is really back in the mix. I I like the fidels but it's kind of so wrong for now. would have been massive in the 80's though.
