Hello Marc, it was meant to be an ironic post from me, as I'm sure Tim played both sides. However I was on my i-pad again and I still haven't worked out how to use the smileys. I'm on the mac book now.

Exactly Steve, don't know what Timmy was thinking of playing the wrong side.

Kill me now.

Absolutely Kev, but he had to start buying some big money tunes when everyone had copied the cheaper stuff that he played. And that was my point, the whole ethos of the scene was built on (to quote from other posts) willy waving. Why else did we travel all over the country to hear this music? Because some guys were willy waving saying "come and hear this incredible music, you can't hear it anywhere else, because we've got the only copy" Ok so those days are numbered, but there are still a few one off's out there. Would you travel to listen to Butch if he was playing a set of cheap records? I'm not saying Butch doesn't play the odd cheapie because he does. But the reason he is number one is the fact he has the big hitters and his own one off's.

That's brilliant, I didn't understand Nev's post either, but now I have had it explained, I agree with him wholeheartedly. Unless you have hundreds of cheap records to sell, then the effort required to advertise each one with sound files and scans means it's just not worth the effort. If on the other hand you have two or three big ticket items to sell, you can make far more profit for very little effort. The only problem is actually finding the big ticket stuff in the first place, hence why they are so in demand. Another analogy to add to what I was saying earlier. Karl Heard did what chalky and Kev were extolling in their posts, he spent many hours and a lot of money listening to cheap records at nighters and on line, and he created his own very original sound. In fact I can't remember anyone else who has made such a name for himself in so little time, without buying the big ticket items. The problem was, every Tom, Dick and Harry went out and bought his set and played it, and it isn't just as simple as that either. To find the 20 to 30 records that were good enough to play out, Karl had bought many hundreds of other 45's that he realised weren't that good when he got them home. I think he's still trying to get rid of the rejects to this day. And there's the point. They might be cheap for Tom, Dick and Harry, but they were bloody expensive for Karl who put all the effort in. I'm not saying it's right, but I can understand why most people take the safer route of buying the established big hitters.

I have never heard of a northern night / nighter having anyone Dj for 6 hours. Even Butch would find that a challange.

I'm not saying that Paul. What I'm saying is that the trophy records are high priced because they are fantastic tunes, and there aren't enough of them to go round. There are a lot of people on this forum who like soul music in all it's guises. I on the other hand am only interested in "northern" soul music. And that's what I'm talking about, music that makes you want to dance.

I didn't say that there weren't any cheapies that were as good as the trophy records, there are many, but they are well known. What I meant was there aren't any NEW quality cheapies. Playing a set of the same great cheapies is just as bad as playing a set of big ticket items. I can't remember the last time I heard a record that made me say, "wow, I must have that" either cheap or expensive. To me that says it's over.

There's a lot of negativity towards anyone who spends their money on trophy records. The antithesis to this type of person, is the guy who wouldn't dream of spending more than say £100 on a record, and listens to so many cheap records they kid themselves into believing they are good. Not only that, but they insist on trying to convince everyone else they are good too. There's far more of the latter than the former, and they are just as bad, if not worse. There are certain records that if they turn up for sale are sold instantly. Some of these records aren't even that rare, but because they are truly superb tunes there are a hell of a lot of people who want to own them. To me these are the top 500, though I'm not sure there would actually be 500 of that calibre. And that's my point. Chalky and his ilk keep on about all these thousands of unknown cheap 45's just waiting to be played, and there are thousands, but they aren't of a high enough quality to be played out. You can sit at home and extoll the virtues of these cheap records all you like, but they will never match the brilliance of the trophy records. Lot's of people have set up events where you can go and bore each other to death in small venues, and that will be the future of the scene, along with the other faction that play the old classics over and over again in the big venues and wear their fancy dress. Neither does it for me.

Absolutely, we have totally different taste, but that's what makes the world interesting.

Call it what you like Andy, it's bloody awful.

You must be joking surely? Velvet Hammer absolute class to my ears. The other thing is just awful.

Yes good tune that had a few people running up to the decks when Karl (Heard) used to play it out.

Yes, I had the LP back then John and used to play it out, but for some reason I forgot about it. And yes Mecca deffo, I never went to the casino.

Just at work in the shop listening to Atlantic 2NG on the Macbook. All of a sudden, I'm instantly transformed back to 1975. Can't wipe the smile off my face. I had completely forgotten how fantastic this record is: Thelma Houston - I Ain't Going Nowhere. I remember it was huge, and LP only. How the hell we danced to it I just can't understand. brilliant brilliant Sorry, I just had an epiphany.

Eh! The girl is stunning we have already established that. The first part of the song is rubbish and then it becomes a classic northern oldie. I don't understand your analogy. If I was 17 the girl would be rocking my boat.

I disagree it's R&B and it's terrible. Just my opinion and I wouldn't have posted except it's already been sold.

We are not worthy, we are not worthy. After all those years of doing without food, clothes, holidays and worrying about how I was going to pay my household bills and my credit card bill. Spending every waking hour on eBay or trying to persuade another vinyl junkie to sell or swap me a record. To think it was all because I wanted to buy a spot. The records were all rubbish, and I was listening through my arse and I never got any musical pleasure from listening to them. Well I wish you had told me before I had wasted half my life oh great one.

I resemble that remark, or I did.

The Wheel a bit earlier than that.

Post of the week………Brrrrrrrrilliant.

The real acid test of how much your collection is worth..........take it to one of the dealers. When I started buying records again, not sure when it was, probably around 2000. I was on eBay every day and at Tim Browns every week, I wanted everything. I bought one of those bloody huge 500 count aluminium boxes, and I couldn't wait to fill it. This was oldies I was buying, I had been going out to do's for quite a while and I thought that most of the Dj's didn't have a clue, and I was going to show them how it should be done. Anyway, long story short, I filled the box but couldn't get a spot for love nor money. So I decided to get rid of the oldies and just buy top quality rarities that I was starting to hear as I was now going to allnighters. Here's my point. I took the box to the big dealers. The left hand side of the box was all the popular oldies that are in demand and fetch anything from £100 to £500. The right hand side were all fabulous tunes but cheapies, on major labels, Ric-tics and the like. The dealers wouldn't even consider the right hand side of the box at any price. When I added the cost of those records up, I had spent a lot of money with those dealers, yet they were virtually worthless in reality.
