think it will be a while before it settles down to a realistic price. currently £317 on JM auction

As a collector I would have thought you would go for the local/first issue. A second issue or national release would do until you could find a copy of the first. Looks, do they come into it when collecting? I would go for the first issue over a better looking second issue label, maybe then buy the fancy looking one if I was a completist collector.

the last few William Hunt's I've seen have been in thew £20-£40 range. Andy Dyson did have one.

cause Butch's is the original studio acetate and not a cut/emi disc.....it's genuine if you like you should know that Ady.

and the flip to the Invincibles release, Can't No One Man is the best side bar far IMO.

if remember rightly Ciray as the Invincibles.

The others are actual records...Hale is the label. Only a handful....4 mentioned maybe couple more????? who they are with not sure. Butch seems to think his is slightly differnet take.

I once watched a progrqam on the history channel or some other remote channel about the Jazz dancers, 40's 50' etc and boy could they move, sensational stuff

out of interest what was the price Pete?

Butch first to play it I think, he acquired origianl studio acetate of owner. Three other copies I know of, Kitch, Kenny Burrell and Tim Brown.

been about years as far as I know Christian.

Apart from the music the dancing, the spins drops etc are/was what made this scene special/different compared to other scenes was it not Why now do the acrobats seem so "in the past", a bit like some of the clothing from back in the day if you like. When done right by a good dancer they can be a joy to watch. I watched Carl and another guy at the Palais couple of years or so ago, they were being watched by a load of students who had come in. Egged on by the crowd they, were taking it in turns, some great dancing on show and the students were all stood there open mouthed, they were amazed at what they were watching.

I'm not saying it is rare but the £100 to £150 is a bit off the mark these days....personally don't think the £300-£500 is far off the mark today......the number of folks who ask about this both on forums and off list would suggest the demand is still there.

Betty Willis - Gone With The Wind Winfield Parker - I Love You Just The Same (faster version) Gail Nevels - Taking My Mind Off Love Little Tommy - Luv'H Ernest Sparks - I'll Be Glad Exceptions - Baby I Need You DC Magnatones - Does She Love Me Four Reputations - Call on Me Hytones- You Don't Even Know My Name Mello Souls - We Can Make It Diane Lewis - Ain't Got A Chance Malcolm Hayes - Searching For My Baby Kell Osbourne - Law Against A Heartbreaker Sensations - Demanding Man Soundmasters - Lonely Lonely Vernon Garrett - Angel Doll others but can't remember off top of me head

As well as Soul Source I also spend most my free time on the rare soul forum. other than that no other real regular sites, use them as I need them.

Last one I saw dealer to collector was about £1200 in total....not saying it's worth that much, has sold for less on auctions but certainly worth more than the £100/£150. It does seem very indemand at the minute.

if done properly and in time with the music they are great to watch. Carl who I mentioned makes it look so easy, totally effortless and more importantly he does them at the right time

Been spinning this myself for a while, great cheap record Think off top of my head there are 5 by them on the label.

I'll have ten at that price.

here you go Blake.....

If you are a promoter you should really hear the DJ in action you want to book first. They might have a reputation, might have rarity after rarity but could be totally useless putting them together for a set. They could also be one of the best in the country but be totally alien to your regular punters and therefore not much use to your club

here you go....

Carl from Retford/North Notts way.....

I have to agree with Greg, should be residents at a club before anyone allowed to use it as a selling point for another promotion. Then again if the DJ is good enough then the promoters wouldn't have to use advertising gimmicks to sell them to the paying punter

Still think the Don Hysong is pants not a patch on Eddie but the Roosevelt Matthews...what a record, f*cking superb
