Not much of a habit, I've had thousands of them and I can't remember many instances where they put a ska track on the back of a contemporary one. On reissues, loads, but on originals?

Bit bizarre putting the 1966 recording Doctor Ring Ding on the other side! That's on my copy as well.

Coloured label Ironside is original. If it's on a white Ironside with black letters, then it's a reissue. I think.

Paul Anka reissue £30 well done to the seller but Jesus who in their right mind would pay more than a tenner for that issue? It had 14 bids! https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300962143647&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Rob I think this is actually called Street Doctor but it is a version of Sidewalk Doctor. On my copy it's Street Doctor anyway, but mine is on Studio One not Iron Side so is a reissue. Lots of high prices on popsike but many were from when the fake bidders were around. But at least £100.

Just to confirm what John says. Originals have a very glossy, smooth red/orange label, reissues are mottled and vinyl is much thinner

£100 - £125 still I would think. Not like there's a demand anymore.

Yes he will be doing just that. That's why I've stopped selling on ebay. Nearly every one tries it on. Offer him a full refund, not a part one, that'll show if he's trying it on or not. Sick of people doing this to me Kegsy that's why I've gone over to Discogs permanently, and at least with Discogs you can leave the buyer negative feedback.

Yeah I know how a record player works Mick I'm talking about the record on the bottom which is 'playing'

Know what you mean

The boot is useless, £5, the original not so hard as it used to be, £75 to £100 tops

I think I did 4 volumes like this mate, they should still be on here somewhere

It had to be because if the record was spinning the photo would blur, I presume?

It was an option added to give the questioner an opportunity to make a note of which was the best answer basically.

Mark sure has his facts mixed up! There was a label called Northern and a label called Northern de La in Detroit in the 60's, but the phrase Northern Soul wasn't even in place until the early 70's.

Not bought a record from the USA now for over 2 years. Was getting some good reggae bargains, especially off Ebay Canada. Not any more.

Yes thats what I mean

Neg the tw*t Nev. What a terrible seller.

I rate that as double actual value, honestly.

I might have meant pitched down not up But I definitely meant popcorn.

Autographs rarely make any difference to the value of a records, in some cases they can devalue it. I bought Matt Lucas' only copy of You Better Go Go off him and asked him to sign the sleeve - he signed the label not the sleeve, in silver pen. Oh dear.

Steve, I bet you'll find that a lot of these pitched up records are done by people into the Belgian Popcorn scene. They always pitch records up, don't know why.

Way overvalued on both UK and USA in my opinion.

I agree with both points. I have a typical Keith set from 78 (March) and it's a shocker, Gene Latter, Blue Chips, Barry Benson, Tim Tam (1st ever play). Compared to his 77 spots, which were usually really good. he just decided to go 90% UK labels.

Just my opinion - it was never about clapping the dj, it was about acknowledging how great the record was, as if it had just been performed live by the artist. The DJ sometimes got applauded at the end of the set.
