Now that the original poster has got one I think it is OK to post this. I sold a mint- one the other week for 40 (listed it on here in sales), it went up to about 60 or 70 for a short while a couple of years ago I think. 90 is well OTT All IMHO

I've had an offer on Claude Baby Huey - Drifting of £150, I'll give it until Sunday 7pm if anyone wants to better that (told the person that has offered. At least a tenner more not £150.01 Cheers Paul P.S. Quite happy to listen to offers on the others if you think the price is too high.

THIS IS SOLD NOW, thanks. Steinways sound files and scans: oli2002.mp3 oli2002b.mp3

THIS IS ON NOW SOLD, THANKS I'm going to put this up for offers over £150, please read the condition bit before getting in touch. Houston Outlaws - Ain't No Telling/Uncle Ed's Back Yard - Westbound 179 Promo in Company sleeve Condition: This looks and plays mint-, however if you look really closely at it there is a line about 3/4 inch to an inch long that appears on both sides from the start edge of the runout into the playing surface. It isn't a crack, it looks like it may be a fault in the pressing so it could become a crack in time. I've had this for about 8 years and played it out on occasion. As I said it looks and plays mint- other than this line. Thanks for looking, pm me or email paul {at} paulsrecords {dot} com to reserve or with any questions. Sound file: wes179.mp3 Scan:

I just thought that for post number one (or possibly 2) on this board "please value these 100 records" seemed a bit lazy. So I was being sardonic (which I thought was obvious but evidently it wasn't). Well done to people who had enough free time and the inclination to put values to 100 well known records, I haven't got either (particularly the second one).

I think you'd be better off buying a price guide

I'd forgotten I'd banned myself from freebasing.

Oh dear! Keep digging if you want but you're on your own.

Now that you're sorted ... ... all those with one to sell ought to put them on ebay, I got $97 for mine recently - it seems to be in demand

Respect to you! Anyone who calls Keb a comedy mod is a brave man in my book. ( err ... and wrong obviously - I'm not agreeing here, no sirreee! )

The Northern Soul and Rare Soul scene (however you want to define it) is simply not an underground dance and youth culture. It was 40-odd years ago, but it isn't now - either underground or youth. In my limited experience, clubs in London tend to attract a mixed age group anyway. But if I were 17, saw some cool film/photos of young people (Keb excepted ) dancing acrobatically and then went down the 100 club expecting to see the place full of this sort of person - I would think I'd been conned! People who are attracted to the scene today by misrepresentation will hardly hang about. I think I said before somewhere that it would be preferable for young people attracted to the music and possibly a nostalgic view of the scene to buy a load of CDs and start up their own club, banning anyone over 30 from attending. They would have more fun, wouldn't have all the baggage of a scene that has been going over 50 years and could style it how they wanted. You might almost be able to call it a youth culture then. Maybe it is happening somewhere and us old gits don't know - I hope so.

Snow - well yes, it has been pretty bad. We had snow for at least a week in early December (Yorkshire) and the ice lasted for 2 weeks Christmas - it happens every year and so an increased volume of parcels and cards is fairly predictable. Royal mail don't discriminate between 1st and 2nd class cos it costs too much, they just lump it all in together and hope for the best.

The thing is though, Amazon has been running for years and online retailing including eBay has been going since the 90's. The Royal mail (mental picture of whistling postman) is still under the impression that it just delivers letters and is thus obsessed with the price of an ordinary first class stamp. It simply hasn't moved with the times and for some reason it has come as a shock that the number of parcels is increasing and we get snow in winter. I haven't had any mail this week yet and I am waiting for a first class package posted last Friday in order to finish a job for a customer. They "lose" things all the time too. So many businesses rely heavily on mail delivery and yet using Royal Mail is a bit like pot luck at any time of the year. Unless I send a record out Special Delivery I have no confidence that it will actually get to its destination. RM's services have deteriorated massively over the last few years; my letter mail turns up at about 2pm (never any on a Monday); packets sent 2nd or 1st class might as well be thrown in the bin; recorded is invariably not signed for so Special Delivery is the only service worth using. Courier companies are starting to eat into that business now as well. The thing that indicates that they know how crap they are is the fact that the compensation for recorded and first class has been changed from the value of the item (i.e. what you sold it for) to the cost value. If a company has sold something the value is the purchase price FFS! They end up with no stock and no profit when RM lose things now. If any other business operated the way Royal Mail does it would have gone bust ages ago, someone else would have come along and run a better service. Amazon is a business and so is rightly concerned about its reputation because its existence is dependant on it. Royal Mail couldn't give a toss what anyone thinks because it is a virtual monopoly. Unless it shows that it can move with the times, run efficiently and be trusted then privatisation and/or a break up are inevitable.

Sorry, but how exactly is that "an honest view of the Northern soul scene" ?

Sorry, but how exactly is that "an honest view of the Northern soul scene" ?

That's the beef.

That's the beef.

Nothings wrong with it Mike, but my take on it is that, in my experience, every time someone comes along to look up the skirts of Northern Soul they already know what they want to see and so that is what they will show regardless of what they actually see. My view of the scene is that it is made up of a slightly different set of people with a passion for something that the mainstream doesn't know about or understand; people that don't want to be mainstream. There is an edge about it and occasionally a coolness but that only wafts around the edges. Every so often the mainstream gets a sniff of it and wants a bit - each time they do they chip a bit off and then p*ss off. I was only half joking in my previous comment, I'd like to see someone take some pictures of what is happening now and portray things for what they are, interview some people and get a real feel for the scene now and also people's view of what it was and has been. Portray the love of the music and the allure of collecting records, the dancing is a big part of the scene but the last few times I went out it seemed a secondary issue to most - it is in your head but not necessarily still in your legs. There are tons of interesting characters about and the small crowd of people that regularly go to nighters (of which I am not and never have been one) are well worth photographing and interviewing. At a Cleethorpes in the early noughties Jo W nicked someone's video camera and interviewed people at random through the Saturday night. The result was incredible, funny and passionate footage - no idea where it has got to. Why can't one of these creative johnnies produce something like that? Answer - Because they have no idea what they are looking at. They deserve having the p*ss taken out of them.
