I contacted the seller about the Jesse Davis.He said his brother had a big boxfull.It's a waiting game.I've seen people still trying to sell it at 800...Betty Lloyds are regularly at around 350.How many of the diff mix came out?
I've just rescued a record out of the crap box......Bobby Eaton Fever, Fever,Fever on Galaxy just because someone posted the other side in sales.People have been raving over the b side of John Bowie and Dr Love....they are poor compared to the other sides.One i have turned over because someone said i should was The Embers-Watch Out Girl...that isn't bad.Ive had large cod and chips with curry tonight.
The upshot though is that there is a lot more information about now.I used to buy blind after looking at a record and try and offload the turkeys.At least now you can youtube it and get the info from this very site on boots pressings etc.If you have taste and are willing to put the hours in then you should be able to build up a reasonable collection on a limited budget as the sheer volume on e bay etc is immense.Use the sniping tool to full effect.No use in chasing the current biggies if you have limited funds.And it depends on what you plan to do with the records.Collecting for yourself or deejaying.Buying the future biggies you will get no bookings or have empty dancefloors.Gone are the days when people will dance to unknown after unknown.Here in the uk anyway.A quality record is a quality record.I recently got The Remarkables Is The Feeling Still There and Fred Hughes Dont Let Me Down from this site.Both for under 50 quid.Both i think are good solid northern records and will weather the fads of the northern scene.
Fryer I love prog...I'm in touch with the original members of The Open Mind and love a bit of Arzachel...and got both original lps...wouldn't play the reissues out mind.Even on the psych scene its the original format.Mace is right its not the younguns who buy these.The European youngsters and the young mods are all into orig vinyl.Jordan and the youngsouls are also into originals.l.These reissue records are for local doos and for local people.The people that Photoshop owls and fists over scooters and wear the clothes they wore when they were 15
I'm after all the great northern records that fell through the cracks...I actively encourage everyone else to keep finding those rnb,ballads,popcorn,reggae,Latin 45s and leave all the sixties uptempo stuff to me...carry on.
Thanks for the comments Ivor.I'm.a Virgo so precise info is always appreciated.A few people have asked if they are going to be for sale.Jon Buck was the cameraman so I will ask his permission.Im not bothered about making any money so maybe a PayPal donation to a charity might do the trick.Does anyone knpw if the club is still open? We know Bicknell is now deejaying again,Brian Rae has never stopped...he is one man who should get. northern soul award.Is Adam Buchanan still deejaying? I wonder if this might spur Jon to do a reunion gig....time to get yer pegs out and growing those wedges and taches.
I've a few more to transfer to DVD and then youtube.I think it's time to get these uploaded for public viewing or they will be lost forever.I cant think many people would have kept old video cassettes and I wonder how much footage like this was just thrown out.Best bits are a request for Hayes Cotton, the queue at the record bar,Brian Rae in a tank top and the amount of wedge haircuts and moustaches.As I have said if you have any old videos just pm me.
This is better quality than the clips on youtube.Great interviews as well.....anybody got any old videos of niters etc that they want transferring to dvd??
Ive an unreleased version by him and a black Swan copy....I'm sure it came out in another name on Swan.In thousands of years archeologists and historians are going to have a nightmare...they will find my video of the Gloucester night 1987 and a copy of Stoke 2013 and be scratching their heads....surely there must be some mistake....we had these trousers as 1977!! go and check the dates and This England again..Stoke.....small room until 2am then main room.The music is far better after 2 and the returnees have left after dancing to Beggin.
Here's part 3.The funny thing is the same oldies are still being played all over the country now!.You would think that all the KTF merchants would be sick of them by now!.
Where are all the 50 count plastic box men?.....can i check your box?......errrrr the plastic one ... okay here's mine....how about a swap that for that.
