au contraire, it's a public forum and I am entitled to my opinion. If you like the record then I'm very happy for you. But the fact remains that it is never worth five grand.

I presume from that you own a copy. Terrible record to my ears, and not northern. The desperate need to find something new to play means that records like this that wouldn't have been looked at twice back in the day are now being raved about. You would have to pay me £5k to play it.

PM sent.

Blimey! I think they are both fantastic.

I wouldn't give £8 for it, not northern at all.

I think the group soul collectors like this, probably other collectors as well. Seems to always attract huge interest even in rough condition.

Come on Andy, I Dj'd for you a few years ago at Keele and never got paid. Not bothered at all, but just saying like.

Just the one for today: This was on John Manships auction the other week. Think it went for £100.00. Unfortunately this copy is only VG condition, so any offers please?

Could well be right there Chalky. But because of it's rarity I have never heard it out.

Slightly off topic, but relevant I think. I have lost count of the people who Dj'd for me and were so excited and buzzing because the decks were set up properly with minimal weight on the tone arm, new styli fitted, and the system set up so that their records could be heard clearly throughout the room. When you have gone without the good things in life and spent so much time and money collecting records that move you so much. The last thing you want to do is play them on a system that just sounds like a boom box, or drop an old heavy stylus on your treasured styrene. The feeling you get from playing them on top quality gear to a crowd of like minded individuals, so that every word and fabulous note can be clearly heard is something special. There are many events where they have good equipment, but it isn't set up correctly. There are many with decks that I wouldn't play my records on for fear of damaging them. I know quite a few people who have got to a venue and just played cheap stuff and cuts of unissued stuff because either the decks look dodgy or every time someone comes up on stage the record jumps. And I don't blame them, but the crowd just think that he/she played a crap set Too many promoters who totally neglect this, or just haven't a clue how to set their gear up. Never mind paying Dj's, more important to show them some respect by giving them a fantastic experience, and respecting the fact they are playing super rare records for your guests.

Yes I have mate. Still not for me I'm afraid.

That man Butch again, bloody brilliant tune.

Wow! Absolutely fantastic. Imagine having the only cut of that. Dance floor viagra at it's best. Popcorn, what a guy.

OMG! Little Stanley and Jimmy Gresham, two records that I always wanted to own but never did.

No, the issue is rarer and seems to be the one the collectors want to own.

It's probably hand spun from unicorn hair. I presume the Gwen Owens is pressed off centre, hence the plastic middle?

Strange isn't it, I wouldn't give it house room personally.

Good God, I had forgotten about those lists. There were so many in those days, I used to be on first name terms with the post master. I was never out of there for stamps and postal orders.

brilliant! what a guy. And the way it's going with everyone wanting to Dj, I can see this happening for real.

Just the one for today: This was on John Manships auction the other week. Unfortunately this copy is only VG condition, so have put it at half the winning bid.

It's a bloody nightmare being a promoter, you want to try it sometime. Worrying if any bugger will turn up, and if you will lose money. That's why most will accept any old crap just so long as it gets folk through the door. Lots of people only too willing to do it for nowt these days.

Blatant plug!

Wish I'd seen it for 400 I would have snapped it up. I paid that much ten years ago.

I think you may have put any potential sellers off with your comment "No Silly Prices" It's a rare record. Very highly regarded, and you will be very lucky to get one cheap.

I would say the Tobi Legend price was probably down to "The Film" The Chaumonts was a steal. Just a pity John didn't see fit to put a sound file up of the best side.
