    Are we mixing the inspirations up pal

    Cheers for that mate class sounds them! I wonder what the Cody Michaels c/u is?
  3. Dobber
    Just been listening,I also had them tapes,but now long gone! do I need to sign up to mixcloud to get the track listing?

    So I reckon this invitations variant is on a par with the spyder turner variant where mgm toward the end of the 60’s they have a number of releases or re’releases that were put out in small numbers and have through the passing of time have become very rare items! And whilst this invitations variant is rare and a great little thing,I suspect to be a reissue of the black issue and yellow demo from maybe a couple of years earlier?

    Isn’t the spider turner “alive” on this blue variant,but not on a black or yellow?

    Same as me mate,I still watch it now and it gives me the same affect as the first time!

    My all time fave film is salems lot from the 70’s with David soul and James mason,however there has been talk of a remake in 2023 which promises to equal the original,the film is made but they keep delaying the release!

    Equally I also think the intruders better check yourself is up there with best,but because it’s readily available and (cheap ish) I’ve no desire to own it,however if it was an under 10 known copy record I would want it! Stupid I know,but I’m not interested In a room full of records I would never play,just a jewellery box of gorgeous items
  9. Dobber
    Yes for me it would be and is the best northern soul record ever,I just wouldn’t be interested in owning it if it was 10 a penny,the quality and the desirability are 2 separate things to me.
  10. Dobber
    Very well put mate
  11. Dobber
    Yes I’m afraid I am one of them where the higher the value the more blinded I become,for example I would love to bid on the Mello souls at what looks to be a high amount,but in all honesty,if it was a major label item with boxes of copy’s around,and it was a 10 quid record,I wouldn’t look twice at it! however it terms of QUALITY,it is the best northern soul record ever!
  12. Dobber
    You’ve been around long enough to know that the desirability of a record is driven by the value not the quality,especially on the way up! This record in question and off the top of my head..Clara hardy,royal esquires,these two also were big ticket items and you would have killed your mother for a copy,but then boxes turn up,then the value drops on its arse and no one wanted them,they would rot away in sales list at a 100 quid,but now the value has risen and rising,people want them again! It’s the same with everything I suppose,kids wouldn’t want Gucci if they were sold in sports direct for a tenner!

    I was just pondering what 60’s tunes are out there regardless of geography,value,raritie,could quite easily sit well in the shrine label catalogue,I’ve always felt this label has a unique sound,a bit messy here and there,but real and raw! I think this belter could have sat well on the label!
  14. Dobber
    Not far off! Nearly as bad as the inmates-this is the day
  15. Dobber
    Haha yeah that’s the one,the actual 45 is slower,which sounds ok,but when you’ve only heard(excuse the pun) the sped up version,the real one is a bit of a let down,you feel like you need to push it along
  16. Dobber
    I think the surname was “herd or heard)?

    I heard a tune on YouTube years back,it was the only video on there of a female artist on a yellow Motown vip (can’t remember her name,not a usual Motown name) it took me ages to find a copy,when it arrived and I played it,it was uncomfortably slower! The lesson being, don’t just listen to one copy of a song,seek out others!
  18. Dobber
    Am I right that a lot of copies turned up,I certainly remember a spell of it appearing on lists for 100 to 150 quid for a good while?
  19. Dobber
    I think Carl willingham broke the tune,and for a short while was a demand and pricey item,then of course eBay churned out many copies,until it was a 100 quid record,and of course less desirable as it got cheaper
  20. Dobber
    Well I’m not a dj,not a collector,but every now and then certain records I just like to own…even for a short while until the fantasy dies off,then back to reality with an eBay sale
  21. Dobber
    Brilliant memory of a record
  22. Dobber
    yeah your right,would have to be something special to get on par!
  23. Dobber
    I’m already selling my kids off,but your right,I will need more than 500 quid,might have to chuck the wife in to
  24. Dobber
    I actually sold it 9 years ago,I bought it set sale,not auction,and at the time I think between 6 and 8k would have been a expected amount,but just like the prophets,counts,don gardner,inspirations and now Mello souls,they very rarely come up for sale,mainly all auction now! And your gonna pay for the privilege
  25. Dobber
    Junior McCants..that’s the one! I’ve had a lot of the shrine stuff including j d Bryant,I sold jd Bryant some 5 years ago for 8k,so I would imagine today it may get past the 10k mark. I doubt dc blossoms is in the top end,but certainly towards 3k ive had bill dennis 3 times,but never got more that 2.5k for them…all stone mint too!
