Yeah, just thought it was an oddity really, didn't know had already been covered, jeeese Chaky lighten up. Aid.

While on on posting, here's an odd one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330672942946+#ht_500wt_1092 Love this record, not quite sure what you'd do with an analogue master tape.......bootleg maybe Aid.

Not a comedy sale, more a tragedy really, lovely, lovely soulful record but trashed, seller reckons vg+?? Nice record to own if only in was in some kind of condition, shame that. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360427544913+#ht_1740wt_1092 Aid.

I was talking to a lad at Lowton who has a personal collection of 50,000 & he said he's never sold a record in his life, said he doesn't go out much either. Aid.

Well there was Rubin on cat food ad a few years back And then 'beggin' on an Adidas add with Beckham in it. Aid

If you've got a decent hifi shop on your local high street, you can pick em up a very reasonable prices these days. You can also pay thousands if your into that, but a company called Project do a Debut model & your probably looking at £150 or so for what a very decent turntable. AId.

Re post above. I mean, how could anybody on god's earth not love this? Aid.

Most black music coming out of Detroit from mid to late sixties, but my tastes have changed from when I was a 'young en' at Wigan, cringe at some of the pop stuff we liked back than, amongst all the great tunes we were brought up on. And as I was away from the scene for a couple of decades after Wigan, I'm still catching up & discovering some great stuff I never knew back then, stuff like Combinations, Louis Paul, Salt & Pepper, Blendels, Fortson & Scott, so always getting into some that's new to me. Also like my music a bit mid to down tempo too, that's probably an age thing, but a lot of that 'Riker' music wasn't very good. But do have eclectic tastes too, from Jazz or Mozart to Joy Division but soul always takes centre stage for me. Like Sharon Jones 'Soul Time' too, good to think this stuff is coming out these days. Aid.

What a voice, what a troubled life she had too, seems goes hand in hand. RIP Etta. Aid.

Funny one really, I was watching this, beaten up but a nice record, decided too trashed in the end, went for nothing though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/370574269193?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_689 Aid.

Great tune this Tony, massive production, love it. Aid.

Just add to that though, if you get a record known to be rare, a few copies coming up for sale within a few months of each other, shouldn't detract from it's actual rarity? Bit confusing this. Aid.

I like this definition because I never know what truly defines a rare record, I probably mix scarce up with rare, suppose I should be more discerning, you live & learn, although I see you have the Hy-Tones as rare, which I thought it was. Aid.

Yeah, noticed that bit of 'salesmanship', he he. See other items? That Eptones looks interesting, no bargains for sure. That one sided Beatles on Swan looks the best investment Wouldn't of minded that Joe Jama though, out of my league that. Aid.

Sorry I know it's off topic, but don't really want to start a new thread (it's a rare record, just not a major label ), but as a matter of interest, anyone else been watching this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mega-Rare-Northern-Soul-45-JOE-JAMA-MY-LIFE-OPTIMUM-45-JOES-BOYHOOD-HOME-/110799765495?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item19cc2e3ff7#ht_3047wt_1219 From Joe Jama's actually boyhood home. Just thought it was interesting, few other goodies in other items too. Aid.

Another big label, Decca, don't see too many Johnny Caswells hanging around these days. Aid.

And what a tune that is, love it. Aid.

Another record on Mercury. Jeffery Bowen I'll Get By, never seen a demo, not saying not out there, just don't see around much when browsing. Manship got issued priced in his book, don't know what a demo would make?? Aid

Topics Booking Up Baby on Mercury, think this goes for a bob or two. Aid.

A few major labels with quite hard to find rarities. Hy-Tones You Don't Even Know My Name on Bell. Jay Traynor Up & Over on ABC. (prob not as rare, but still quite expensive) Aid.

Yeah it's a lovely record, The Empire label was actually Winifred Terry's of the Drifters Label out of Detroit. I knew it was also a b side on Lupine, didn't know about the Music Merchant release. Aid.

Hey Bahaar, Can't believe you don't pick up the odd bargain! See you at Lowton next week. Aid.

Wow Pete, I'm impressed, especially as its a U.K. seller, don't do too badly do you? Seen your other post, picking a Johnny Guitar Ray up in a shop Derby. Love hearing stuff like that. Cheers Aid.

Have just give this a spin, lovely laid back tune from Jimmy and Frank Bryant. Just love the background strings. Aid.

One the first records I ever bought was Betty Wright Where Is The Love. Think mine was on a U.K RCA if memory serves. Record long gone, but still love it. Aid.
