    Dunno what "Just In The Nick Of Time" was it was a prezzie for my bithday from Janine. "Thats what I Want" have seen several at £120 lately :-0 Like you say another that used to be common that i got for next to nowt.

    I think thats half the problem, we saw indemand records in quantity and insales boxes every week!! We look at the prices folk are paying now and just shake our head. Personally think a lot of the returnees who missed the 80's missed an awful lot of stuff and don't realise how common or rare they are. Also they don't IMO study sales lists and especially e-bay and see what is listed often and not so often. I know one thoing, I couldn't afford to collect likke I did in the 80's now. I was spending £150 on records where there were only 3, 4 or 5 known copies...how much would you have to spend these days on records like that. I also wish I was selling up now and not years ago, would be living very comfortably :-(

    this seems to becoming popular again and I'm amazed at the number of folk who say they don't know it! The last few times I've djed I've started spinning his "Just In The Nick Of Time" very under-rated and a big want of mine last year till Janine bought it me for my birthday :-)

    got to agree with the description of Herbert Hunter, great track. There was a vg only copy for £20 earlier this week. Seems to be getting a little harder to find. Why spends 100' sometimes 1000's when you can pick up class chewns like Herbert Hunter or the Royal Premiers which are just as good and begging to be played.

    Hi Trouble, nothing personal taken believe me, love a good debate ;-) Young DJ's Mmmm...I like to see a dj play summat new and off original vinyl. Things are still done by and large as they've always been done, spinning rare soul 45's. My point is will the younger newcomers to the scene still be prepared to do this, after all it is what we were brought up on, no cd's in those days, or will they go for the easier and cheaper option when collecting. My whole point is I don't see many young collectors in the record bars, no where near as many as us old(er) 'uns :-) What's gonna happen to all the vinyl when/if it does become avaiable and no one collects seriously like we do at the minute cause they only prefer the cd format. Will it always be vinyl after all the soul scene (and funk) are one of the few who use vinyl. Many other damce scenes use cds, mini discs and just lately have heard of MP3's being used. Off for a drink and watch Liverpool on the idiot box (tv) ;-) Chalkster PS I'd be worried too about that wedding ;-))

    I personally think half the trouble is that the majority of collectors have paid off their mortgages, kids grown up and have plenty of ready money to spend and aren't afraid to pay over the odds. Times are gone when you could turn down a record you thought was a little expensive as you knew you would more than likely see one the following week. No one has the patience either anymore, not many prepared to shop around for the best deal. Also the collecting scene is now worldwide, just like stamps. Even more so with the advent of the internet and auction sites like e-bay. Have sold records on e-bay to China, Japan, Australia, all over Europe and the States. What do the dealers think? C'mon Mick (Smith) you must have one or two thoughts about this ;-)

    Hi Grant. I look round at nighters and there doesn't seem to be many young serious collectors rooting through boxes. They don't have the history that we do, vinyl only, as they grew up with cds and maybe have no qulams about playing from this format, unless like I said they have the guiding hand of a soulie father. How many young serious DJs are there? Not many at all. I know the scene is going through some kind of revival with interest from the marketing world, tv etc but how long will this last? How many newcomers will stay and do things as they have been done in the past? Looking forward to the track!!

    "Value is a matter of opinion" Two opinions count, 1) the seller and 2) the buyer. Some of us (including me) don't always like this but what can you? It's the same in any walk of life, someone is always prepared to pay that little bit more than someone else to own something they covet!! Sometime soon the bottom is likely to fall out of the NS market as the serious collectors get older and sell off their collections (can't take them with us unfortunately) and in the process releasing plenty of vinyl onto the market. But! who will be there to snap them up? Without some serious new younger blood will there be a scene to cater for all this vinyl???? Any newer, younger person (unless they have the influence of a soulie father/mother) to the scene is more than likely gonna go for cd's as this is what they are growing up with unlike most of us who grew up with vinyl only for a long time. Thoughts?

    Prince Philip Mitchell along with Ace Spectrum you couldn't give away at one time, oh how times change. Ace Spectrum was multi million seller in the states wasn't it?? Futures utter shite, failed disco record IMO and the sooner demand disappears ther better IMO. Drizzabone again bought as a new release and must be 100's about. If anyone want s one theyb can have minew for £150 ;-)

    The original Legrand has Workin For My Baby on the flip and is # 1042. The one you are about to get is I guess (no pun intended) a boot?!?! There's one on e-bay with the "Some Womans Bedroom" flip at £6 (or $).
  15. Chalky
    Legrand copies not been booted. SPQR original on styrene, booted on vinyl and later with orange label with instrumental on flip.
  16. Chalky
    lol....we know what you really mean Mr. Rimmer ;-)
  17. Chalky
    I though it was ;-) This design been booted too. Big difference in price between the last two sold, $271 and $93. Seems to be a few big variations lately, Bobby Kline another with approx a £1000 between two within about a week of each other.
  18. Chalky
    What colour is the label?? My eyes must be suffering after the weekender still :-)))

    Don't think it ever came out on single, anyone confirm. It's dated on the Kent Chuck Jackson cd as 1986 but doesn't indicate that it was unissued at the time of release so guessing it came out on a Kent lp first. Could be wrong, sure someone will confirm one way or the other.

    The Contemplations was brought up on another forum after Marco played it out at the Lifeline rare soul event of the year ;-) At the time of discussion John Manship had one on his website at £500. Rock Candy just been sold for $271 (approx £150) on ebay, think it was the easier blue label too but not 100%, crazy!!
  21. Chalky
    The Artistic with Ted Taylor on the flip, purple vinyl too has just sold for £88 on ebay ($162.50), Manship rates it £80. £85 for normal release. Bobby Adams £20/£30.

    Live acts were great, especially Melvin Davis. The sound was poor at times though, could hardly hear Cody Black or Baby Washington at times. Phil Perry's voice is just awesome!!! Music wise, Friday night, why two oldies rooms ;-) Saturday after acts some great stuff played by the likes of Butch, Andy D and Kitch. Best night was Sunday in the Queen Vic. Didn't hear Tim but Carl Willingham, Kitch and Mick H played some cracking records but thought Andy Dyson set was just superb though.
  23. Chalky
    Ok Grant cheers. Det Rhythm Section old Guy spin at Stafford. David Flynn played it at the weekend.
  24. Chalky
    Sent off list Grant, cheers. Few intsrumentals over the weekend at Prestatyn. Two that stand out Detroit Rhythm Section - Backstreet and Butch's instrumental to Walter Wilson on Wand I think.
