Must have been two people bidding against each other and neither prepared to back down. Real world price? £150

What record are you talking about?

Superb. South African?

Good grief, that's about £1000 too cheap

You should be able to pick up a B & C one for a fiver.

You want the price guide 5 which includes details on all the reissues and bootlegs

Reissues were once considered worthless copies but now some of them are quite rare, though not as rare as people make out! Things like the first reissues of Eddie Parker - I"m gone, Del Larks on the proper design, Rufus Wood etc, all have fetched over £50. You've got 2 different types to contend with: 1) counterfeit - an attempt to copy an original identically and pass it off as original. Extremely bad practice and always frowned upon. 2) pressing, bootleg, 2nd issue - a legal or illegal press of a big sound which can easily be identified as a non-original

That is the best advice you can get. Enjoy yourself. Buy what you like, on whatever label you like, don't take any notice of anyone else telling you you can't buy something because of the label it's on, especially on this forum, it is not a crime to own a non original record. Get on peoples mailing lists for originals - several people on here do a weekly originals list, me, Keith Williams for a start. Use Popsike web site to get a good idea of the prices things sell for.

His latest bootleg guide is in the latest price guide...

IF ever you get chance to re-listen, Barbara Pennington's song 24 Hours A Day is absolutely superb, was back then, sounds even better now.

Lorraine Silver - absolutely brilliant UK girl pop dancer.

Does he mean Moulton Mix?

Yeah you must be, just saying like...

Easiest way is if it's sold at a fraction of the price as an original. It takes years and years of experience to learn all about this stuff. I've been doing it for 37 odd years and still learning.

I can sell you the Tempests LP if you decide you want one..

Yes please, been looking for ward to this one

Play the other side, fantastic popcorn tune

OK I'll just sort my lists out and send you something by personal message

Am looking for this version of the Charlotte O'Hara tune, What About You by Ramona King. I know theres one on John Manships site but I don't want it that badly to pay the £100 he's asking! So if anyone's got one around the £40 mark I'd probably be interested. Go as low as around VG++

Con I"ve currently got four or five hundred reissues available if you want a list. Very reasonably priced compared to some you'll see. People on here will vouch for me. Hopefully
