Re Steve Davis. He was recently on the Saturday morning Danny Baker show on Radio 2 and said he had once sold one of his "soul records" that the buyer later sold on again for a lot of money, I was shouting at the radio for Baker to ask him which one but he didn't.

Give it a week and they'll be moaning about you letting them know.

But isn't that record collecting in a nut shell? "I don't want the demo/(issue), i am after the issue/(demo). "I don't want it on this label I want it on that" The rarer the better as always been the norm.

Because in this day and age of the wiilly waver there's only one not two, so makes it twice as big.

Is it OVO only?

"I'm an aquarius your sagittarius," took some shoehorning in. The Stars Barbara Lewis.

We've had more than one thread on here singing the praises of Lisa Stansfield in the past.

Some should be charged to get out!

Where can I here the sound file?

Could of bought the damned house for that when I was a lad

Some food for thought here Tony, good luck!

Spot on, now if the thread was called "Never heard it AT ALL but had to buy it" all collectors could tell us how many middle of the road and jazz records they have in the loft because they took a chance and it was sh#te

The fact it's in his box show's it wasn't too far from his set surely?

Always imagined whoever came up with Don't Take Away The Music, The Tavares, had been listening to this not long before!

Ah, Long Long Way, The Ellingtons

After the "last" Wigan nighter in September 81 they played about sixteen hours of enders before December 81

Always knew it was "gonna be a big thing"

I believe Ginger Taylor organised his funeral when he had a serious illness quite a while back now, he chose JD Bryant I won't be coming back.

Russ Winstanley now drives an ice cream van...........sorry, a nice cream car!

Can you not think for yourself?

A VG- went for just under 500 dabs on e-bay last week!

Just curious as to why now then?

Not only did the record get played but Northern Soul, Wigan Casino and talcum powder all got mentioned in the same sentence.

Excellent thread encapsulating the strange world of northern soul, on what other subject would you get a discussion about and need to hear what happened to be played in a club on a particular night 43 years ago?

Is this thread more about further boots being pushed onto the market or people being ripped off? I am playing devils advocate here (so go easy), When purchasing anything it is always buyer beware (or seller even) and all down to someones knowledge/lack of. How many on here would quite rightly buy a rarity for a song off e bay if the seller was clueless and didn't realise what he had? Ha, but I am not deceiving anyone I can here you say? Well, say you went into a charity shop and saw a 50 count box of singles with a sign on it saying "to be sold as a job lot only", £20. Whilst plowing through the middle of the road shite you come across a 5k biggy nestled snuggly in the middle. When the little old lady asks you what interested you in the old box of records that had be there years with no one taking the slightest interest in them, do you tell her about the rarity and offer 4 grand for the records or do you mumble something about your missus loving Lonny Donegan and shove a twenty pound note into her hand? I live in hope!
