Yes you do. When you get it can you send me a high quality mp3 so I can knock a few of my own up? Hang on, I might as well just buy one of his!

When we were all younger, vinyl was the only (or main) medium; the U.S of A was further away (i.e. difficult to get to) and DJ's much scarcer. People bought boots so they could play music at home, DJ's supposedly had the original records or were good mates with those that had.. These things are a money making scheme, pure & simple, but if people want to pay 10 quid for a Stardust re-issue or 20 quid for a white label cut then more fool them. I can't see the point of buying vinyl just to play music at home unless you are a collector ... but then you buy originals. I can't see the point of buying boots to DJ with, you might as well use CD's if format (i.e. OVO) is not an issue, the music quality is better and they are fairly easy to use unless you have fat fingers. Last time I saw a scam like this I said that if I had any sense then I'd copy them, undercut them & make a short term bundle. I am billy retired now so maybe I will this time. Hang on ... just occurred to me ... maybe it is someone who is a crusader for the never mind the format brigade Flooding the Northern Soul scene with cheap vinyl until nobody gives a toss anymore! Watch the value of records drop! No.. can't be, that's already happening

My excuse is that I have the lurgy and so I am slower than normal (which is still fairly slow)

If he did win then the judges didn't see this acrobatic effort (watch the start carefully for the "recovery") He certainly could move though and yes I do wish my feet moved that fast! My pacemaker would probably conk out if I tried though Edit: just seen this clip has already been posted (doh!)

Just watched this on the BBC player and as people say, much of it is rehashed from previous documentaries. Russ's lucosade comment is priceless though. One of the reasons that there isn't much footage of Wigan is because (I think) it was only filmed once. From people that were there at the time most I've met claim to have been on the balcony shouting for the lights to be turned off. Does anyone now regret not being on the floor while the filming was going on? Just interested, not taking the p*ss or anything. Cheers Paul

Ooooooh! And they were the last 5? and did the guy in the black vest kill all the ants in the end? de da doo indeed!

Another I would have bid on if I thought it would finish this low. Sold mine for over 350 3 years ago and regretted it since, bought some dining tables for the pub with the money, what a pillock!

And they've still got 17 left as I type!

It's a really good record until the man with the twangy guitar who used to stalk Detroit in the 60's gets in on the act There's a good few records where this joker turns up, he must have been ahead of his time I suppose, eventually him and funk must have gelled

All credit card handlers charge a fee and 3% isn't unusual. I had a streamline machine in my pub and got charged around 3% for all the transactions put through it. If I hadn't had it I wouldn't have done a lot of business though cos nearly everyone paid their bill with a card. You are charged for the convenience, the idea is to work the charges into your price

So anyway, I asked the guy (who I've bought from before and he seems pretty straight) what the difference between the repro and the original is and this is his answer: "hi ,this record has to be to press 4 X in France, the sound come from the original record, it is one can thicker than the original, and the plastic label. excuse my english. a+++++ filippo" So there you have it.

Yep, I could do with that too, only place I've seen a full list of finishing prices is on here. Am I stating the obvious or summat?

https://cgi.ebay.com/LISTEN-NORTHERN-SOUL-P...1QQcmdZViewItem Anyone know how to tell the difference between this and an original?

ALTO I think, still in the R&B and Wierd bit of my playbox

Now sold. Thanks Paul

Fabulous Peps - With These Eyes - Wee 3 - 20 inc p&p Not the best looking copy would probably grade it VG visually but it plays surprisingly well (VG+ at least). In demand and fine for DJing. fabpepsvg.mp3 Thanks Paul

His version of Can't Break The News is far superior to Ben E King's

Haven't been buying a great deal as prices seem to be all over the place at the moment, some stuff surprisingly cheap, some stuff stupidly expensive (rare or not). Small boxes of ridiculously expensive records are becoming the norm. So, I sold the majority of my limited sales box cheaply on here and bought the following with the proceeds: Kenny Wells - Isn't It Just A Shame Just a beautiful tune but probably considered "old hat" these days (or cheap ). Diplomats - Cards On The Table Because it was 70 quid cheaper than when I sold my copy 5 years ago and regretted it, also I sold it 2 weeks before Ady C brought the Diplomats/SkullSnaps down These Old Shoes and so couldn't play it for them - doh! Judy Clay - Do You Think That's Right Been after a copy for ages and kept getting outbid on eBay. Prince Buster - King Of Ska - CD Skatalites - Guns Of Navarone - CD I've also been selling all the records off that I don't want anymore at 4 for a fiver (or less) on eBay. I'm a miserable disillusioned old git at the moment so once I get into the habit I'll probably sell everything next year and then that will make me more miserable. Thank f*ck christmas is almost here .... then it will be over for another year. Anyway, time for hibernation. Cheers Paul

I had one on my sales list which is still available, it is VG+ though (I use VG++ instead of any EX thing), has some pops & crackles but is only 20 quid. Only selling cos I got a mint pink demo Reggie La Mont - How Lonely (Can One Man Be) - Blue Rock 4029 VG+ 20 Drop me a pm if it is of interest. Cheers Paul

Why do my ebay sales never do that? Nice tune tho Just a thought, do you think the second high bidder would like my copy?

Oooh er missus, keep your pecker to yourself! Lovely vinyl actually

Going through some stuff that is about to grace the eBay, during a playing of Lou Ragland - I Travel Alone (Eric demo) my missus commented that it sounded like something the Bay City Rollers had done. Actually, we both agreed that we could imagine Woody prancing towards the camera in ankle length tartan flicking his hair. Try it for yourself:

His VG+ looks like my VG-

This is the only place I've found that does the lovely poly-lined paper sleeves for 45's which DO fit in the white card sleeves. Unfortunately the postage is expensive as they are in the states, so it is worth a few people clubbing together to buy a couple of thou to make it all worthwhile. I suppose it isn't expensive compared to a mint copy of Martha Starr - Love Is The Only Solution Anyway: https://www.bagsunlimited.com/cart/browse.asp?subcat=25 Cheers Paul
