This is an answer record to The Miracles - Shop Around, the only one I;d heard before was debbie Dean's "Don't let him shop around", this one is called Doncha Shop Around and it has an absolutely brilliant sax break in the middle, though I would have thought Motown would have sued them for copyright. Anyway, usual question - anyone know this?

Just telling you what I hear Sebastian. I have no complaints with carvers. When you play to 30 people in a working mens club you aren't that bothered about the ins and outs of the sound quality, you're more worried as to whether you've got a stylus!

I asked John about it and he said he auctioned one for £500 a few weeks back. My mate wanted £400 for his. I'll find out what colour label it is. Ta for the info. Chap selling the World Quake Band for 250 in VG on here though.

Not to me it isn't, I don't even know what you're talking about..frequency range?

If you're talking about upfront venues, then yes, originals only. Local soul night in a village hall, who gives a toss, you're probably only going for a drink and a good time.

Honestly, I've never had one thats worse than the original, in many cases they are better, especially when you get a stereo recording put into mono.

250 euros in VG, that makes 400 in mint - I was told 50 quid elsewhere!

That is more or less word for word what I said when I replied to his email. Anyway I'm staying out of it.

Well put it like this: if I get anything done for myself, they are taken from a cd copy, which usually comes off a master tape. How is that going to be worse copy than a 40 year old second hand record?

I've had at least 40 carvers done for me and for others and I've never heard a bad one - well not one that was worse than the original source. Also see Yum Yums topic - I put up a photo of the original then admitted I'd never taken it out of the house and always play the pressing. I'm not having some scrote nick my records.

see later comment!

Well said Di. I'd still like to know how anyone on a dance floor can tell the differnce between a pressing and an original - and do they give a toss anyway? No, they're dancing.

Looks like it's not too expensive after all apparently..

Thanks. What about this one, any idea? Pazazz - So Hard to find - In Roads Label M-...

World Quake Band" "On the one"..on World Quake label M- ...and its Rare as hell ..never seen one before. So if anyone can let me know how much this is worth. It doesn't appear in any price guide.

Wayne I can supply this World Quake Band" "On the one"..on World Quake label M- ...and its Rare as hell ..never seen one before. So if anyone can let me know how much this is worth. It doesn't appear in any price guide.

What, an original Matta Baby for £6? Pink label? Thats a fantastic bargain, I paid £80 last time. I don't think The Gig is worth more than a tenner though. Bloody awful record, never broke out of Cleethorpes.

Max, I'll buy you a pint if I'm wrong but they were done in 77 - Eddie Regan was done at the same week and they both appeared in limited quantities. The source was an ex Wigan dj.

I got this overnight... Hi We don't know each other but you have just posted about me on Soul Source - would I have the balls to say it to his face- well the answers yes but that;s not why I'm writing. Your friend Ian got me thrown off soul source after a couple of postings but whatever. I'd be grateful if you would let him and the rest of Soul Source know that my reviews on Amazon are honest and unbiased. In fact of the seven cds he mentioned this evening I have today given rave 5 star reviews to two of them. I would also ask that you let Mike Hughes know that I'm not best pleased to be slagged off without the right to reply. Let him have my email address if he wants to contact me . many thanks Frank Kirkham

ztsp stuff was pressed at columbia

I've got that Jean Carroll but it's with a pile of unsleeved junk so it'll take me a while to find it. I bought it blind but both sides are terrible. late 50's or early 60's.

Ask him, he's on this forum, see if he's got the balls to say it all to your face

wonder who bought my Pye issue of the Jones Brothers, one of only two known to man. Ian, just thought you might be interested to hear... One turned up on Will Johnson's list today, Pye issue, £150.

To be fair - Pep used to put on do's in Walsall in the 80's and used to put on sandwiches at that as well.

For those who haven't heard it, here it is. I've faded it out so that the last minute is missing
