Don't know about anyone else but I can barely read the list, pitch is only about 4

I think that's a great price.

Perfect ender but wouldn't play it in the middle of a set

Cheers Dean, the Bobby Womack actually went via my mailing list after about 2 minutes...the Edward Hamilton is just brilliant

Pete.smith@freeuk.com 01902 326306 BUDDY MILES & THE CALIFORNIA RAISINS - WHAT DOES IT TAKE (TO WIN YOUR LOVE) - PRIORITY LS 7915. Unplayed/mint copy of this for sale, purple vinyl. These records came in a custom plastic sleeve with a sticker, and over the years the vinyl has 'sweated' due to the sleeve and there is a very, very slight storage warp, read the description of most copies being sold and it'll say the same - but it plays mint. Currently selling for £75 to £125 ($200 on GEMM) - asking £70 for this one, free postage Cheers Pete

Yes, heard a few Harthon demos just the same as that. The "If you can't be true find a part time love" instrumental acetate I sold was one, talk about boring..

Is that the one that sounds like a slowed down version of Shing A Ling?

I'd have to agree, they will become very collectable. The original Grapevine label - you couldn't give those away in the 80's - John A sold 10,000 demos to Ken Cox, think he sold them for £1 each, now look at them!

I think I only heard the Eddie Holman, was it Hold Me In Your Arms? It was nearly as good as Hurt / WINW, except I think the modern mastering killed it a little, it was just TOO high quality, if that makes sense!

I agree with your manifesto, and the Bob Relf's and Eddie Parker's have been done so many times, but Grapevine did put out a few good Northern things not previously pressed or bootlegged (Gerri Hall was very welcome, the alternative version of You Can Split was an a amazing find) so I think they could have done it if they wanted to - just chose not to.

I realise that and I did think that was their intention, but naturally they would have sold more records issuing big Northern titles than they would from obscure crossover tracks, I was just replying as to why some were poor sellers.

I'm sure the target groups bought the respective records but "Sex, "Tavasco" etc, when these came out I'd never heard of them (though after hearing them I wouldn't buy them or any other crossover and modern releases) but the releases also have to be good, which by any stretch of the imagination, the one that you mention, The Chesterfields, was not good, it was awful. So I'd guess the biggest sellers were the likes of Don Gardner, Magnetics Count The Days...top quality Northern Soul.

Another reason that a lot of titles weren't great sellers is because they went over the heads of a lot of "Northern" collectors (e.g. myself), a great majority were Yarmouth type records which are of no interest to me, and I'd never even heard of a lot of them, preferring their Gerri Hall, Don gardner, Magnetics, Springers releases instead.

Here's a thought, you'll probably think it's rubbish but maybe some didn't buy the releases because the label designs were so poor? Especially these, they look really cheap, especially these..I'm not saying people should buy records because the labels look nice but compare that to say even the original Grapevine label.

That was great fun reading that back

Probably because you demanded him to PM you with offer. Not if interested, please PM me with your offer just a blunt PM me your offer he might not want to make an offer

What, like "bants"?

The only thing I can find to complain about here is the fact that they especially want people who can do the 'acrobatic style' dancing. You know, the sort that went out in 1977 and only show offs and camera bandits have done for the last three decades...

Pointless, thats off that tape I put up and podcasted and dubbed over This England, you could put any recording over the film clips.

Thanks Tim, my only listener

This tune sounds identical to something else, think it's another blue eyed girl record, might even be some obscure thing I had on UK. I mean the last minute of the record, sounds really like something else. I quite like this. Wouldn't pay much for it though.
