I was on with him once at Valatone and he played some good stuff.

it's only vg+, cheers anyway.

There's not that many these days who travel for a soul night full stop, not a great distance antyway. Anyone who does is often travelling to a niter after. Most local soul nights don't have a market for so called big name dj's as most "locals" no longer travel any great distance, and I would guess most local punters don't really give two hoots who plays what judging by playlists and demand for certain records all the time. There's not many soul nights I would travel for. Lowton, Orwell & Piercebridge are some that I would and do travel to, Union when it was going but that was hardly travelling for me But having said that if I'm going to travel I want something other than the same old same, I can stop local for that.

No I mean the one you saw in a box for a £100

Wanted for a mate Quick Change Artist/Give The Man A Chance - Karen, as near to mint as possible at a reasonable price Cheers

so far then thats two copies cheap and three at what appears to be the going rate

Have seen plenty of Lonnie Lester's for around the £100 mark don't think too unfair on that one, maybe tad over priced yeah but there's enough selling it over priced. Last two on ebay (on popsike) £97 and £100. Remember the Roy Hamilton now.

I meant the one Ian mentioned in the original post Pete???

You mention a record for £70 and £100 yards away from each other, what was the record? For all we know the £100 could be thye right price and the £70 one a bargain?? Same as the Roy Hamilton you mention, yes reasonable price I would agree but I've seen it go for more. There is enough information in the market place, enough places to find out information to put a stop to the so called greed but do the collectors care? no they would sooner pay over the odds to secure a copy rather than bide their time until another one at a reasonable price comes along.

no one has to pay the price though if it's too expensive? no one forces them. Collectors are still paying a three figure sum on ebay for a record like Ruby Andrews and others...you would think the buyers would have wised up by now. So who can blame the dealer for asking say £120 on a list or in a box for a record which in reality is worth a fraction of that??? I do agree with you basically though

I was being kind Pete, you haven't sen my cruel and horrible yet

Saw greed mentioned but who is the greedy one? Often it's the uninformed collector with too much money lacking knowledge and experience, you can't always blame the dealer, especially in an auction situation. Some collectors will go that extra yard to get a copy these days ignoring the fact that the record is often listed one way or another on a weekly basis...they should do their homework . When you've been round records for many years you know the value or have a good idea, demand is also another consideration and that could be local demand as much as national.

Sounds like the Doors or summat Played out where

Always had this down as 30/40 quidder but JM has one @ £100. Gotta agree with you as well Pete great Northern.

Have the LP mate, great as you rightly say.

The Hoist, great venue Scotty

Liberty LP Taffy

Hard one Dan, I would guess a four figure some nowadays. Anyone remember the Bobby Vee version that got a few plays

Two good records Dan. I wouldn't personally class the Steelers as crossover but the TSU Tornados is probably classed a crossover track these days

will be seeing him later so will ask for you.
