Must have been a f*cking heavy record then, I can post a single, in a mailer with 3 pieces of card for £2.40 to Australia by small packet airmail. And I regularly do...

Is it mainstream soul or was it played on the northern scene?

Mick Smith auctioning these two, both stuck at £10 at the moment! https://shop.ebay.co.uk/linbin777/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Spot on, that's the one. Love it! Strange type of rhythm, neither ska nor soul, but it's brilliant.

SPECIAL DELIVERY 6.00 PAYMENT BY CARD, BANK TRANSFER, PAYPAL (THERE'S A CHARGE FOR THIS SORRY UNLESS YOU CAN SEND AS ‘GIFT’),

Not at all, but if I don't clear these things up, people get onto me for not doing my job properly. You can't have a sales topic where someone just posts 'still available' every week. The fact that it's still on here and not marked as sold let's people know it's still available.

Well reduce it then and stop constantly bumping the topic, that's 4 times now and I've had to delete one.

In other words, for promotion

It's worth £50 - £75, maybe £100 on a good day. Something wrong if someone paid £700 for it.

A private pressing is made by the artist and or their management to try and promote the act, usually only in runs of 100 or so. In the UK, private pressings mainly refer to rare psych and folk albums, some of which were pressed in minute quantities, under 50 copies.

Here you go https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SOUL-TIME-VOLUME-1-25-Northern-Soul-Classics-NEW-CD-/160455329892?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_CDs_CDs_GL&hash=item255be20864

Must surely be on either Soul Time or Soul Time 2, both on Columbia in the UK. There was a third one, Best of Soul Time as well. It'll definitely be on one of those three.

I got pipped at the post, finished second, if I'd won it I was going to sell it for £800. He's got one more copy.

I really love those Mirwood backing tracks. What about the incredible instrumental versions of Same Old Thing, I'm Satisfied With You and Don't Pretend? Brilliant.

It's not common but on the other hand it's not rare! There's a one sided demo of 3024 and a one sided white label of 3024 also.

Cheers!

More proof that there's one born every minute...

I'd ask £20 for 3002 and £5 for the second issue

And it's a double sider - I remember being surprised when I actually heard the vocal as I'd only ever heard the instrumental played before then. Pep I think it was..

Great record this and so hard to find, I've only ever had 2 copies yet the guides show it to be 75-100 quid, it's definitely tougher than other Swan sides like Tony Galla and Sugar & The Spices - I easily sold my last one at 125.
