I guess so but can this scene and collecting market even though it encompasses many countries and the profile has never been higher sustain these prices? When people are paying four figure sums for records when the general consensus is they are worth less than half that how long can it keep going?
I know some buy records with an eye on what they can get back in return but if someone has a grand that they don't mind ever seeing again then fine. But I know a few who are buying because they see the collection as their pension pot but just like the financial markets assets are just as likely to drop in value as well as rise. I doubt whoever paid the price for the VelVets, even though he or she will be happy with what they paid will ever see that kind of return on it.
it would be interesting to know the age of the buyer, my guess someone with no mortgage and kids have fledged and left the home and not a youngster as someone intimated earlier or elsewhere. Maybe someone with a pension as well as a wage? Or someone simply well off with money being no object?
There is little wonder many are turning to boots and pressings.
you can play a download out can't you? Burn to a cd or god forbid put it on a memory stick or plug your ipod into decks
Have been hearing it on some radio shows for a while now, decent track. Dave Thorley posted it some weeks ago as well.
Is this track Sammy Hawkins? It is the same record and same backing etc but the vocal sounds slightly different to these ears, not as sharp. Is it just the source material, this is from a tape, I presume the youtube clip is from vinyl?
Anyone else having trouble loading this topic,very slow this end?
Anyway two LPS on the decks today
Chuck Jackson I Wanna Give You Some Love
and The Hesitations Soul Superman.
I was sent a tape to transfer to CD and from it I sourced the tracks and did a mix cloud upload of the current spins from September and October 1993 of one of the leading DJ's of the time Saus.

Butch told the story on here, he had had it a long time, didn't rate it and was in his shit box. Andy Dyson bought it or traded it and covered it up and it went big in no time. It was more than £25. Nick Brown had it mid 90's as well but don't think he did a deal with it. Very few copies about and none for sale.
It might have dropped to 300/400 quid with the find but it didn't take long before it was back to around £700 and that was with copies still in circulation. That was also several years ago. It wasn't surprising given that there is very little supply of this but plenty of demand that it fetched what it did on JM's auction. Over priced? Maybe? I still would have expected around £800 to £1k if someone had asked before the auction.
I thought Clarkie had one ad well but just checked and it was the Empires he had also.
Hardly recent discovery, was 30 years ago......just remained rare.
One Dance is great but there is also a fantastic take on Globe by The Creations 'Oh Baby'.
Andy Dyson has a copy, Kev Murphy, At least one other Lifeline resident played it when we was at Stables, could've been Butch........I think JM auctioned one, at least one through ebay, there are copies out there, not many but there are some.
there was at least two copies back in the 80's.
