Oh dear... https://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200997354337&item=200997354337&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466

Maybe but you only have to look at the so called in-demand records and then you realise they simply aren't that rare, Constellations, Ruby Andrews, Ringleaders, Dottie & Millie. M could go on and one with titles but you get the drift. None of them are worth what is being paid, not in terms of rarity. As for collecting, its been a collecting scene as long as its been a dance scene.

I thought Sam was at home with feet up after his op until after christmas?

I was surprised by lack of sales at 100 Club when down in Novemeber. Only me and Nick Brown with a box I think, oh and John McClure. Other nighters not like that though, loads at Radcliffe and Lifeline.

One man's meat another's poison etc etc....... Some that are called some of the best on the scene don't even register with me and I'm sure the same is said for my choice of DJ.

The market has been falsely inflated since the influx of returnees in the 90's/00's, kids flown the nest and mortgage paid. They paid and in some cases still are paying inflated prices. If they had seen those records in the 80's etc and the quantity that was around, in some cases large quantity's they might have had second thoughts. Add to the equation everyone wanting to be a DJ that further falsely inflates the market. I don't think many records are or have been devalued, they simply finding their true value. There will be a lot of disappointed people in the future. If many had stuck to simply collecting then maybe prices wouldn't have gone as crazy as they have over the last 15/20 years.

Trouble is many expensive records aren't rare just tucked away in collections, many no rarer than many of today's cheap records. Many of today's indemand expensive records were around in quantity in the 80's and when these hit the market when those who returned bought big the market for them will be on it's arse.

The fact someone was prepared to pay so much for a boot. Not having a dig at your mate, he described it as a UK reissue,aka boot, no presumption about it. I still don't like the word reissue as it can still be misleading if you aren't in the know. Non original would be better seeing as bootleg isn't allowed.

Sold quite a bit of cheap stuff lately. Some remained unsold. Some went from lists that were few months old and the records found when the buyer did a search and came across my old lists. Nighters are a waste of time or fast becoming that way for buying or rather selling. Most do their buying from their arm chair these days.

And "For Crying Out Loud" I've more to upload at the weekend.

If you didnt get the chance to see Bunny at the weekend, or wish to see it again, here he is singing Follow Your Heart.

Jeez.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171182387878&item=171182387878&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466

Apparently some of Keb's account has been told on ANC TV. https://www.facebook.com/ANCalerts/posts/10151878776083791?comment_id=30131568&notif_t=like

You will be lucky, although it is a boot it is very rare, only four or five done of each of the titles booted.

Yep, a Keb spin and your sale is about the only history there is, hardly any register. Can anyone remember what it was covered up as?

Everyone has endorsed what Tony says...that is what this is about and of course Keb, as many long time friends were very worried and still are about him, especially the threat from the local mayor. But you've turned this into the Sooty Show again. Who cares what money you hang bout with, why you keep bragging about it is beyond me? who cares about your so called interview with Pilipino mayors? Those most affected by this certainly don't, they want food, water and medical aid not some self indulgent dvd interview. Why cant you just say "glad you are live and well Keb" like everyone else instead of turning this into some sort of promotional tool for yourself?

Just exactly where did you go in the Philippines in the aftermath of the storm Sooty? A topic about the misery and suffering and the corruption Keb is having to deal with and yet you manage to turn this into another topic about you.

Brilliant.

Toni Ross one if those that sounds better out loud. The recording quality doesn't help though when listening at home. Great record I doubt most haven't heard out or even know it.

Yes Butch won one on ebay, there has been at least two through ebay.

The sad news just keeps coming. R.I.P. Oliver.

You can see the work done so far here.... https://www.facebook.com/SutherlandCentreBidds/photos_stream

I can remember it going through for about £800 as well, been at least two copies on ebay.

I presume Artisan have or had records of the work they undertook.

There are definitely (I think) two gold professionals, one was around before Robin found his copy in the States as far as I know. Read the topic in the link I posted. Not sure where the second is though.
