Yes they seem to use any available source so while some are perfect quality, others are recorded from very low quality mp3's obviously downloaded from the net. I have to say though, some of the compilations are very imaginitive and interesting.

There was no 60's relase in the UK and it's very hard to sell on that orange label, 5 quid tops

Top tip for all tightwad buyers: try getting them cheaper anywhere else

I sell my records as cheap as or cheaper than anyone else on here so I am fully justified in asking for the paypal fee, if it's 50 quid then I want 50 quid not 46 quid. I don't charge anyone for using my streamline card service which also costs me a hefty fee each time it's used.

I took something like 190 quid for that copy in the end I think...

SEBASTIAN WILLIAMS - TOO MUCH - SOUND OF SOUL absolutely storming Northern Soul dancer. Totally mint condition. £335 including special delivery postage. 01902 340255 pete.smith@freeuk.com

Don't take it so seriously, it's only a record!

I sent Russell an acetate, bear in mind these are made of aliminium and are damn hard to damage, it was still packed in a mailer with the usual cardboard, when he got it it was almost bent in half!

Well if I have to get off the fence I'd prefer Susan Maughans version, I've always kept a copy of that and sold numerous copies of Wade Flemons.

They lost two registered packages that I sent to Paris. Well they didn't, they confirmed that they had arrived in Paris but the French posties obviously nicked the items.

I did a topic like this years ago when I asked if people with names of soul singers would get picked on at school here in the UK; erm, Pervis Herder for a start...

I like both but the perfect one would be Wade's voice on Susan's backing track

First UK issue on red Atlantic has Dog Eat Dog on the B side too. Well mine does anyway.

Demo is rare though

Now those are rare because I very rarely wrote my name on records after about 1975, before that my name was on both labels and scratched into the run offs, we had some theiving bastards at our parties round here

I was thinking the same, but this often happens, see a record I sell for not very much being sold at high prices, e.g. I was still selling Stanky for a fiver when it was 50, Kent Meade for a tenner, I need to get out more.

I sold mine to Steve Morgan on the train to the Locarno in early 1979, for £5. That was a lot of money then. It was obtained by our jackie's husband Malc at the casino but he can't remember exactly whenm he always thought it was the first night but seeing as kev didn't dj that night, he's obviously wrong.

Yeah someone was on about how difficult it was to get a melvin davis - Find A Quiet Place original and I said I used to have one long ago, and I don't think anyone believed me, until Ted Massey posted up a photo of his copy and on the B side it said "Pete Smith 1978" or words to that effect.

Thanks Paul. This one's visually about VG to VG+, plays VG+ to EX (mostly)

It does have spoilers throughout Jock and is lower-fi than a proper cd recording. On the strength of hearing that, I think I'd buy the cd to be honest.

Did we find out a price for this, I have one for sale but haven't a clue what to ask for it.
