I really like the fact that they've managed to record something today that sounds like it was recorded many years ago without all the modern drum sounds and production techniques, it does sound authentic - sadly the record was just boring. Good try though.
Prince Buster - Ling Ting Tang - Blue Beat 302
Hortense Ellis - My last date - Bullet white label 427
Alton Ellis - Shake It - Doctor Bird 1055 (£70+ for a rocksteady single, it's beyond belief!)
Val bennett - The Russians are coming - Island 3146
Wonder Boy - Sweeten my coffee - Jackpot 703
Marvelous Ray - Whirlpool - Abner 1004 (aka Baby Washington - Going round in circles aka Pat Smith - Caught in a whirpool)
Very hard going selling Northern. Switching to reggae again for a bit - sold 6 albums for over £600 this weekend. Probably irreplaceable but needs must, besides, put them on cd so no great loss. Will probably put all unsold northern on ebay at half price.
Thats a bit strange - I sold him mine as well, about the same time - made me an offer I couldn't refuse - mine was the lower case one, different to Hippo's, I'd never seen that one before he put a scan up
Just wondered what anyone thought of this - poor recording though - sounds like it might turn into a good beat ballad....if you click on the link below and then choose number 40 you can hear a bit

p.s. James I would advise you to take this off the list before it kicks off, just PM me if you've got something to say and I'll be happy to correspond with you, rather than make everyone else watch this display
I'd have bought that compilation - it's terrific. None of those choices would appear on a 30 tracker of my own but still great stuff. Except Lou Kirton. Oh and that Antellects record is an overrated pile of cack.
Your arrogance absolutely amazes me at times. How can you possibly say that the record is not known? Do you know the contents of every person in the UK's collection?
There are so many people not known to the general 'scene' who have ultra rare records, unassuming types who don't go around bragging about what they've got and what they haven't got.
You know f*ck all.
