Jamaican original or boot?

I've always thought that as well, it's so hard to imagine it without a vocal though...but it is a headbanging stomper.

I know more about Bowie than I know about Northern so not much chance of me making that error

No it's a pile of junk, just chuck it away, who wants a speeded up George Blackwell? I've never been able to sell a copy of this.

See what you're saying but Bowie's most soulful track is It's Gonna Be Me, an unissued track from the Sigma Sound sessions in Philadelphia (which eventually got a release a couple of years back), an amazing soul ballad. I think "Win" off Young Americans can also be classed as a soul record. Its only the vocalist who's white. p.s. the live version of Rock & Roll Suicide from the Ziggy farewell concert is easily the best ever, not that awful one they put out off the soundtrack which had overdubs, but the one off the original His Masters Voice bootleg...fantastic.

Me too!

Should have offered me more than £25 then

I hate him and I don't even know anything about him

I had a mint/unplayed one up for sale on here last year - don't think anyone bought it and it went on ebay for about 70 quid.

There's an online program which allows you to just type in the info and it prints these jukebox strips out - I use it for mine

Baltimore Band every time, it's a Northern Soul record.

The thing is, back in the late 60' and the 70's, people got into Northern Soul music because it was different from everything else - it was away from the mainstream and thats what made it so special. Chart music was the music they played in silly discos and nightclubs. Which is why the mention of Barry White in the context of playing his records at a Northern Soul event is always going to be controversial. Yes, if it's an obscure track which not many people would know, but 100% no to anything that charted. And anyone who plays Duffy at a Northern do really has lost all sense of reality. It's the Rare Soul scene not Top Of The Pops.

I agree, Love's Theme is great, but to discuss whether Barry White's 70's hits should be played on the rare soul scene is just ridiculous. All his records sounded the same anyway, and after Can't Get Enough Of Your Love most of them were crap.

Solid Smoke is either a bootleg or a semi bootleg label I think - I remember a Deon Jackson lp on the label with rare tracks on

Exactly what I was thinking. Why not play every other soul record that made the Uk top 20? The Tymes - Ms Grace, there's your next biggie. Sold half a million copies so should be easy to pick up. In fact why not put on your K-Tel "Super Bad" album and just play the lot.

The bank have no right to refuse this Richard, it should be paid in as normal if it's made out in stirling, probably the members of staff had never seen one before

I'd sell it for 70 and do! Just want to point out that a lot of people are very disolusioned with ebay lately and less are using it to sell stuff, including myself. Thats probably why it doesn't look as bouyant as it did 3 or 4 years ago.

This is a nice album on Stateside which I forgot to list the other week, forgot I had it to be honest. Includes the brilliant "Keep the boy happy".

There is no declaration form - theres nothing on the package that says how much it's worth. You won't have any problems Ted.

Not as far as I know Ted

The question was - are a lot of people on here selling records that are overpriced. The answer is yes. Simple as that. Perhaps that's where I went wrong, selling them too cheap.

Brooks Bros was only semi known then. Ray Agee had been played since 79. And I know he sold Buddy Smith for about a fiver (which is all it's worth anyway, mediocre detroit dirge that it is) and I'm not saying he didn't slip up, we all did...just saying it's not as if he wouldn't know the Ray Agee.

He's not daft, I know the odd thing has slipped past him but he'd have known this and wouldn't have given it away, and I definitely never saw it and I had every catalogue from 86 onwards
