I think it's a different artist Baz, this guy is leroy Jones Jr and the recordings on hit must have been a decade earlier - and from texas weren't they? Obviously this sort of record is not my cup of tea and I will happily let it go but I've made so many cock ups with this type of record that I really would like to find out what it's actually worth and sell it or swap it for that amount. Or offers, don't care.

No point asking me what I think of this particular record, but I just wondered if anyone knew it as someone asked me if I wanted to sell it. It's a modern dancer (I say modern, it's the sort of thing that would have been played at Cleethorpes) and has a kind of isley brothers guitar sound. LEROY JONES JR with FUSION BAND - I DON'T HAVE TO BEG MY BABY There is no label named, which probably didn't help sales, number is U-64523 Other side is a nice sweet soul type ballad. Anyone know it? Price? Clip coming up

Well after 35 years on the scene I still don't get it then cos I love my Chapter Five You can't mean it as much as I love my Dusty Wilson Gonna be a tragedy, both Northern Soul records to me and I don't care if one of them is real soul and one isn't.

I really fancy that and the Brigitte Kobberley (spelling?) but I shouldn't buy records for myself! By the way, your cd's should be with you later this week..

Andrea This England was the ITV documentary, if thats the one you mean, I can do you one today, I'll PM you

For f*cks sake https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-Freddie-Chavez-Northern-Soul-Mod_W0QQitemZ110465077818QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Records?hash=item19b83b523a

I'd want two for that price...where do you get 250 from, because one sold on ebay for that price?

Alright Rob, didn't realise it was you. Just sold the Stemmons Express, threw in Jimmy Soul Clark as well so that wasn't such a bad deal.

Well there's another vocal to the You Didn't Say A Word backing track (The Chesterfields?) if that counts. IT's not very good.

We disagree again Dave, I sold my demo for 100 I think maybe a bit less, only paid 60 for it...6 months ago

Absolutely zilch, I bought it from someone in Texas off ebay about 3 weeks back! Turned out to be a very tough record to find though. p.s. sorry who are you, I don't remember an Agent Smith

I don't know.

There's nothing particularly exciting about that track, sounds like a million others, and I'm not just saying that for effect, I heard it 8 weeks back and asked Ian how he could possibly put such a high price tag on such a very average unknown record. Can't remember what his reply was.

Come on folks, we're all looking for an alternative to Ebay so why not give this one a go?

Nobody knew who it really was at that time.

Unless Butch plays it and then it's suddenly worth £300. SWONS.

STEMMONS EXPRESS - WOMAN LOVE THIEF / LOVE POWER - KARMA 201. Blimey this is a tough record to find, always has been, first local label release before Wand. This one has many light surface marks but fortunately they are just that and not scratches. It does have the odd pop or click here and there but nothing to worry about, plays lovely. I think I've only had this twice EVER. Books at £400, I'm asking £300 or near offer. Can provide anyone with a sound sample if required. pete.smith@freeuk.com 01902 340255 ]

Another thing we should remember is that a lot of records were found by collectors and passed onto 'name' dj's who then claimed them as their own; The Champion was always associated with John Vincent but was actually discovered by someone from Middlesboro I believe.

Thanks to everyone for their input on this, nice to know a few people rate it and very interesting to find out some facts behind it, I'd honestly never heard of it. One of those I wouldn't have minded keeping but needs must.
